ANY n dutiful daughter pays In pain for har mother’s
ignorance or perhaps neglect.
The mother suffered and aha thinks her daughter
must suffer alio. This is true only to a limited extent. No
excessive pain ia healthy. Every mother should inform her-
self for her own take and especially
for the sake of her daughter. Writ#
to If re. Pinhham, at Lynn, Mass.,
for her advice about all matters
concerning the ills of the feminine
organs.
Many a young girl’s beauty is wasted by unnecessary pain at
time of menstruation, and many indulgent mothers with
mistaken kindness permit their daughters to grow careless
about physical health.
Miss Carrie M. Lamb, Big Beaver, Mich., writes: -Dear
Mrs. Pineham—A year ago I suffered from profuse and
irregular menstruation
and leucorthcea. My
appetite was variable,
stomach sour and bowels
were not regular, and
was subject to pains like
colic duringmenstruation.
I wrote you and began to
take Lydia E. Pinkham’s
Vegetable Compound and
used two packages of
Sanative Wash. You can’t
imagine my relief. My
courses are natural and
general health improved.”
Mrs. Nannie Adkins,
La Due, Mo., writes:
••Dear Mrs. Pinkham—
I feel it my duty to tell
you of the good yonr
Vegetable Compound has
done my daughter. She
suffered untold agony at
time of menstruation be-
fore taking your medicine;
but the Compound has
relieved the pain, given her a better
stronger, end has improved every way.
you for the benefit she has received,
for vnttnc girls."
For the American Ambassador to Copland Really Mas to
Work—Me Also Mas to 6pend More Than Mis Salary.
[LONDON LETTER.]
One or two bows to tMe Queen, a
publio dinner or two, an occasional
hobnobbing with Lord Salisbury and
an occasional communication to the
Secretary of State—that to the minds
of many persons Is the chief end of
the United States Ambassador to the
Court of St. James'; and they picture
Joseph Hodges Choate as crowning
hla long years of hard work with a
nice little period of recreation In Lon-
don.
And you couldn't get much further
from the truth. Mr. Choate has about
as hard e Job ahead of him as he had
when he came to New York to make
his fortune, with nothing but a let-
ter from Rufus Choate to ,William M.
Evarts as s starter.
More calls are made upon the Amer-
ican Ambassador in London than upon
all the other Ambaasadors here put
together, and a
usually oome from the victims of scal-
lawags, who make a business of dis-
covering vest estate* and wringing
money out of Imagined heirs across
the Atlantic. The nulaance became so
greet e while ego that the Embassy
collected evidence against some of
these so Heitors end mads an example
of them, but the mythical estate end
the hungry heirs aeem to be about as
plentiful as ever. Most of the victims
kindly offer the Ambassador a com-
mission on the suma he shell reoover
for them, but this feet does not add
materially to the allurements of the
office.
Daty ClnMK.
As in calls, so In Invitations to pub-
lic functions. The American Ambas-
sador gets more than all the other for-
eign representatives here put togeth-
er. This was almost as much so when

tlons made from their bill by

that the family felled to relish, SO cents
because one slice of steak wea not
eaten, and 91 because the Splllera
dined out. Neither the magistrate at
the Yorkvllle court nor his colleague
at the West side court was
called upon to decide the merits of the
cess. The doors of the boarding house
were freely opened yesterday to the
Splllar family, who packed up sad

large proportion ot
these calls he has
to attend to In per-
son. The chief rea-
son for this extra-
ordinary demand
on his time Is that
the average Amer-
ican cltisen who
comes along feels
called upon to drop
In at the Embassy
and see bow bis
country’* business
Is being done there.
The chances are
that he is a little
homesick and
wants to set foot
again on American
soil. He may not
have anything In
particular to say,
but he Just wants
to shake hands
with the represen-
tative of the stars
and stripes. And so
for five or six
months in each
year there Is a
constant succession
of callers at the
Embassy, whereas the ordinary French
or German citizen who happens to
be in London would think no more of
calling on hie Ambassador except on
huajpess than one would , think of of-
fering to zhake hands with Kaiser
Wilhelm.

“the outward and visible sign of an
Inward want of money”—unlucky
folk who have received from home
checks on some American bank In-
stead of sterling drafts on London
which should have been sent, .and who
want to know If the Ambassador won’t
please cash those checks; women
whose husbands have left them penni-
less, travelers who haven’t even
enough money to cable home for
funds, and citizens who have been
robbed.
Usually the visitor of this sort says

business ot a private nature, but he

we had only a Minister here, and in
those days the minister had to be
chary about hla acceptances, for a*
a diplomat of the second rank he often
had to gjve precedence to the Mlnls-
ter from Guatemala or some other ab-
surd little power scarcely larger than
Rhode Ialand, If that Minister hap-
pened to be hie senior by vlrtne of e
prior presentation. Robert T. Lincoln
was the last representative of the
United States to be humiliated in that
manner.
If our representative made a speech
at every banquet to which he was in-
vited he would have to be eloquent
afresh nearly every night In the year;
chambers of commerce, city com-
panies, and all sorts of publio bodies,
want him, and think the friendship of
the two nations Is somewhat impaired
if he doesn’t come. And there Is one
dinner neglect of which really would
cause a breach—that Is the dinner al-
ways given by the British Foreign
Minister on the Queen's birthday. It

at hla own pocket, or the pockets of

The Ambassador's correspondence is
almost overwhelming, end if Mr.
Choate follows the rule of the others
he will get some Idee of the contents
of every letter addressed to him, and
will answer a good many more of
them himself the* he would if he were

whole population of the United States
has relatives In England who are im-
prisoned wrongfully, who have ran
away to Join the British army, or who
have died la years gone by. and left

rat has Just heard—end would the
