his desk in a down town office a man walked

if Mr. R was in, without raising his eyes
from the work before him, Mr. T an
swered, "No, he is not," whereupon the call
er remarked that as he was not very busy he
thought he would sit down and wait.
At five o'clock he wns still waiting.
At fi:30, still waiting.
A few minutes before six Mr. T closed

A woman whose husband was physician
for the California state prison recently had
in her kitchen one of the convicts from the
prison, a Chinaman, serving a short sen
tence for theft, but whose subsequent good
behavior had made for him nianv friends
among the government officials. John was
a good cook and more than cleanly, so the
doctor's wife hailed him with delight and
mourned greatly when the days were busy
and .John was not allowed beyond the pris
on walls. John, when in the world, had
heard a good deal about the "Slunday
school" life of his fellow celestials anil
Mticc his confinement had thought much on
the subiect.
Tho doctor was very proud of John's
cooking and one day invited a few friends
in for dinner. John wns in his element
and prepared an elaborate meal. Among
the many delicacies for dessert ordered by
the doctor's wife was an angel cake. .John's
chief culinary success. Great was the con
sternation and surprise of the hostess and
the amusement of the guests when John
bobbed itiito the room carrying a huge,
snowy, uncut angel cake, bearing across
the top in huge red letters ihe word "Heav
en." John's dinner was a "howling" success.

NE reason Mrs. Pinkham's treatment helps women
I M promptly is that they have confidence in her.
Through some of the many thousands of Mrs. Pink
ham's friends an ailing woman will be led to write to Mrs.
Pinkham at her home in Lynn,
Mass., and will tell her symptoms.
The reply, made without charge of
any kind, will bear such evidence
of knowledge of the trouble that
belief in her advice at once inspires
hope.
This of itself is a great help.
Then the knowledge that women only see the letters asking
for advice and women only assist Mrs. Pinkham in replying
makes it easy to be explicit about the little things that define
the disease.

Two men were standing outside a jewel
ers' window admiring the gorgeous display
of glittering gems that lay before them.
Presently one of them, pointing to an object
in a red plush tray, said:
"Just look at that scarfpin, representing
a Hv. Anyone can tell that's not real."
"Well, f should think so," answered tho
friend. "Who ever saw a common fly with
such a bright appearance? Why. it makes
me wearv when I think that the jeweler
who produced that fondly hoped that some
one would purchase it to deceive his friends.
If I saw that on a man's scarf I could tell
directly that it was an enameled imitation."
