And what it led to. ft la not a common occurence that a friendly word should be the meins of giv ing nearly forty yeara af happiness and health to the person heading the advice it carried. This was the case with Mary Ltngard. At twenty-five she was dragging out her days in misery. At sixty-one she finds herself so active and strong she cau do work that would shame many a younger woman, and looks back on thirty-six happy, healthful years of industry. Bat let her tell her story : “Thirty-six years ago I had great trouble with my liver. The doctors allowed that there were tumors growing on it, curd they blistered my side in an effort to give me relief. I was at that time earning my living as a tailored, but for five years, between the pain in my side and the blisters I was in constant misery, and work was a drag to me. with no prospect of relief ; fortunately for me, however, a friend advised me to lake I»r. Ayer’s Sar saparilla, and dually persuaded me to take a regular course of it. When L first com menced taking the Sarsaparilla my side was so painful that I could not fa -ten my dress, ami for a time I did not get uny relief but my friend advised me to per severe and relief was sure to come, and come it did. This happened, as 1 nay, thirtv-six years ago. Mv liver has never troubled me since, and during these years I have passed through the most critical period of a woman’s life without any par ticular trouble, and to-day. at sixty-one years of age. I am active and strong, and Able to do a day's work that would upbet 71HI mm ii mm m imiitmimiiiff mil ijliii many a younger woman. Ever slnee my recovery I have taken a couple of bottle* of Dr Ayer's Sarsaparilla each spring, and am quit* satisfied that 1 owe my good health to this treatment. I give this testi monial purely m the hope that it may meet the eye of some poor sufferer."— Mary J.ingamu, Woodstock, Out. Dr. Ayer's Sarsaparilla ha* won its wsy to every corner of the world by the praise of its friends; those who have ttied it and who kuow they were cured by the u*e of the remedy. There is nothing so sltong as this personal testimony. It throws all theories and fancies to the winds and Mauds solidly upon tlie lock of expen cnee challenging eveiy skeptic with a positive **/ know.” Ayer's barrapanlia with it* purifying and vitalizing action cn the blood is a radical remedy for eveiy form of disease that begins ia tainted or impure blood. Hence lumots. sores, ulcers, boils, eruptions and similar dis eases yield promptly to this medicine. Bomc cases are mote stubborn than others, but persistence with Dr. Ayer s Sarsapa rilla usually results in a complete cure. ; Mary Lingard began with a bottle, and went on toa courn* of Dr. Aver's Sarsapa rilla. When she was cured she realized that a medicine that could cure disease could also prevent it. Bo she took a couple of bottles each spriug and kept in perfect health. There are thousand* of similar j cases on record. borne of these are gathered into Dr. Aver's Cur ebook, a little book of roo page* which i* sent free bv the i J. C. Ayer Co., Lowell, Muss.

T was a hard blow t o Doctor Pen non when he re ceived an anony mous communica tion to the effect that he was no more apt at verses than at medicine, it might have been wise In the would be poet to give some consideration to this severe crit icism from an unknown and to lay down the pen of a sorry rhymer. But by attacking the doctor In his profes sion the critic had defeated his own end. Thirty years of practice, a numer ous clientele and a snug little fortune all testified to his capacity as a follow er of Esculapltis. He therefore decided In his own mind that this venomous epistle had been written by some fellow-practltlon cr who was jealous of his success, and Instead of breaking his lyre he mount ed Pegasus once more and rode on to the most, sunny parts of the pure ether. This weakness In the dear old man was overlooked by moBt of his friends, even though It sometimes bored them to listen to effusions which they evi dently did not appreciate at the value given them by the writer. Lucie Mahale alone took a lively In terest In his compositions. She was an orphan living with her uncle and his two children—a son, who was a sailor nnrl otvnv fwnm hnmo n PTPilt HA1*t of the time, and a daughter, Madeleine, who dearly loved her cousin Lucie. Very often when the doctor would bring a new piece of poetry for the Inspection and appreciation of Lucie, and the latter would read and kindly criticise, Madeleine would comment on her patience and sweetness. "It is so little to do," Lucie would answer, "and gives him so much hap piness." But Madeleine had her own theory, which she did not dare submit to her Innocent cousin, and she foresaw a time when some of the Illusions of the poet would sufTer a cruel shock. Meanwhile Lucie pored over those sheets and tried to make sense of them. "Don’t you think, doctor, wo would better take the physician's Instruments and amputate a foot here and there in these verses? Useless to say he would cheerfully agree and cut off or change at her suggestion till little of the original remained, although he al ways lost sight of that point. No one knew Just when it began, but every one noticod a queer change over the doctor. One day the poet walked In with a determined air, not even giving more than a bow to the captain, who had Just arrived; he went straight to Lu cie’s uncle, set himself up In front of him and Btared at him through his spectacles. "Now, then, my dear comrade,” said he with a voice trembling with the force ot a sudden resolution, "I can no MAKING SENSE OF THEM. longer conceal from you that I have decided to renounce celibacy! Yes, I, j Dr. Pennors, the humble poet, am thinking of marrying; and it is from you—and—and one other—that I ex- j pect my happiness.” General stupefaction! Was the doc- j tor mad? He continued; "I know very well that X can be but | a father and a protector to one so much younger than myself, but as I have no heirs I wish, before taking a scat in Charon’s boat, to join my ancestors in j the Elysian fields—I wish to give my ■elf the satisfaction of having made at least one person happy In this world, j one who will mourn for me when 1 am gone. Here Is my will. You may read ; It at your leisure. Just now 1 ask you fbr the hand of Miss Lucie Mahaie — whom I love- -as s father-” A deep emotion followed the Inclina tion to laugh which had at first taken possession of every one present, for they all appreciated sincerely the gen erosity of the old man In taking this | solemn step. They felt, however, a kind of uneas loess, for a recent occurrence prevented the realisation of his wishes In that direction The head of the family did not hasten to answer, so embarrassed was he by this singular situation. It was Lucie hereeif who came to the rescue. Leaving her seat near Adrien, ■ she went to the doctor and softly took his haad. ' hind friend.** she said, much m ivtd, "believe I am deeply touched by this testimony of your af fertiue I am ihs mun troubled by It because I fear to paia you by gtvtag the reason which forces me to decline your oiler ttui If, as you say, you real ly love me as a 1st tier, I hope —** Ms blushed as she thus stammered and I loosed helplessly to her adoptive fath er The latter, having recovered hta : composure came forward We would stout have told you, dear friend My too Adrien and I.uvle have fuel become engaged They love each | other and t heartily approve of so ar rwageateut which assures happtaeaa for hr adopted daughter I had not thought »f r«Mr rstiing. tp l« sura, aid fumradu'* t Madeleine thought she had been the wisest of them all. The doctor, as he shock the hand oi his friend, looked not cast down, if not triumpant. "Yon are a brave man! I see that you understand how to solve questionr of interest In favor of those who need protection. It Is rare In these times of selfishness. I esteem you the more for it. 1 must say I was a little grieved at first. But since It Is yonr son and Lurie Is happy- There, I am happy. too. Let us say no more about It. 1 will write some verses for the wed ding day—doggerel verse*—the mishap of the poet disappointed In his dream. And the will—I will take It back, but I shall not change a word In It.” Then, turning to his happy rival: "Good-by, my friend.

Southern tilrl Who Has Held Iler Posi tion for Years, A young woman with a rrllege dlplo mi and the degree of A. 11. la apt to look for a ‘‘higher’’ sphere of useful ness than that of station agent. But In the South there are not many posi tions open to woman. Those who are reduced In circumstances tuke the first opportunity which offers Itself, and generally make a success of It. Miss Susie M. I-usley of*Kowlond, Ky., Is one of this type. She belongs to a good southern family. She Is an officially authorized station agent and she is only 22. What la more, she has held the po sition for two years. At 18 she gradu ated from South Kentucky college at Hopkinsville, and soon secured a po sition as assistant to her brother, who held the agency which the young worn aii UUW 111 in. J IlfU, WUC'U IUV brother went oil traveling In Centrul America and his successor suddenly died, Miss Igtsley, who had meantime been keeping her eyes open and learn ing all that was to be known about a /allroad station, was called to fill the position. "As to the ability of a wom an to fill such a position,’" says Miss Lesley, "I quote the comment of the of ficials who said at the close of the year, ’Your service has been altogether sat isfactory.’ The requirements,” she goes on to say, "are a good general ed ucation, with quickness and accuracy In mathematics. The characteristics demanded are a good memory, quick judgment and self-reliance, combined with good temper. My experience has proven that the place can be success fully filled by a woman. I believe that clerical railroad work, though as yet an untried field for women, 13 a most interesting and congenial occupation, and girls who are looking about for a means of livelihood would do well to take it into consideration.” A SHARP GUESS. An AinerUan (ilrl Thought She Ilud Solved the Puzzle, If you walk Chestnut street steadily a week or more you are fairly sure to see some one wearing above the elbow on the left sleeve of his spring over coat a band of black cloth six inchv3 wide. It is the latest form of mourn ing here, and although it is the in variable form in England and on the continent, especially In the northern part of Germany, it has begun Just lately to grow popular in this country, says the Philadelphia Times. The cus tom brings up tne experience of a young girl graduate who was travel ing In Europe last Summer with an all too-quizzical father. They were In Hamburg and part of a letter written from there foliows: "We saw them everywhere, from the time we left the Hamburger Hof until we reached the Circus Rentz In St. Paul's—everywhere these men with black bands on the left arm For n lone' timp I rmilrtn'f miPSK what they were, and after a while father told me they were doctors and that the German government—you know what a strictly paternal govern ment Germany has—compelled alJ practitioners to wear these bands so that any one would know them Instant ly. ‘It’s for the convenience of the people hunting In a hurry for doctors, I suppose,' I said to father, and I could see he was struck by tne quick way I saw the point. There was one curious thing about them, and that is that these doctors all looked sad. I said to fnther I supposed It wus because there were so many of them that they didn’t make very much, und this fee also said was correct."

I’mkham Says Standing Still 13 One of Woman’s Most Trying Tasks. IT are you ever thought why it is tar.t so many women or girls rather walk for an hour than stand still for ten minutes? It U because most women suffer from some derangement of their delicate organism, the discomfort from which is less trying when they ore in motion than when standing. So serious are these troubles and so dangerous to health that the laws in some states com pel employers to provide resting places for their female employees. Hut no amount of law can regulate the hard tasks of these women. Cus tomers are exacting, and expect the saleslady to be always cheerful-———— and pleasant.
