I Women who work, whether in the house, J store, office or factory, very rarely have the ability to stand the strain. The* case of M iss Frankie Orser, of Boston, Mass., is interesting to all women, and adds further proof that woman’s great friend in need is Lydia E* Pinkham's Vegetable Compound* “ Deab Mbs. Petkham :— I suffered misery for several years. My back ached and I had bearing down pains, and frequent headaches. I would often wake from a restful sleep in such pain and misery that it would be hours before I could close my eyes again. I dreaded the long nights and weary days. I could do no work. I consulted different physicians hoping to get relief, but, finding that their medicines did not cure me. I tried Lydia E. Pinkham’s Vegetable Compound, as it was highly reeomended to me. I am glad that I did so, for I soon found that it was the medicine for my case. Very soon I ■was rid of every ache and pain and restored to perfect heaith. I feel splendid, hav«» a fine appetite, and have gained in weight a lot.” — Miss FHANKIE Obseb, 14 Warrenton St.. Boston, Mass. Surely you cannot Wish to remain weak, sick and discouraged, and exhales ted with each day’s work. Some derangement of the feminine organs is reponsihle for this exhaustion, follow ing any kind of work or effort. Lydia E. Pinkham’s Vegetable Compound will help you just as it has thousands of other women. The case of firs. Lennox, which follows, proves this. “ Dear Mrs. Pixkram : — Last winter I broke down suddenly and had to 6eek the advice of a doctor. I felt sore all over, with a pounding in my head, and a dizziness which I had never experienced before. I bad a miserable appetite, nothing tasted good, and gradually my health broke down completely. The doctor said 1 had female weakness, but, although I took his medicine faithfully, I found no relief. “ After two months I decided to trr what a chance would do for me, and as Lydia E. Pinkham’s Vegetable Compound was strongly recommended to me I decided to try it. Within three days I felt better, my appetite returned, and I could sleep. In another week I was able to sit up part of the day, and in ten days more I w as well. Mv strength had returned, I gained fourteen pounds, and felt better and stronger than I had for years. I gratefully acknowledge its merits, very sincerely yours, Mrs. Bert E. Lennox, 120 East 4th St..

A GASOLINE CUPID By CRITTENDEN MARRIOTT "Teuf! Teuf! Teuf! Teuf! Hrrr! Wough!” The automobile ceased its monotonous chant, coughed once or twice and subsided into a state of silence, and, alas! immobility. In a moment the chauffeur was off his seat and poking about in the machinery. Then he went to the door of the car riage and touched his hat. "Beg pardon, miss.” he said, "but she's broke down an’Il have to go to the shop. I’m sorry, but you’ll have to get around the city some other way.” The girl on the hack seat—a tall, handsome blonde with the bluest of blue eyes—uttered an exclaimation. "If that isn't too bad! And I've got just two hours to see Washington be | fore my train goes! Can't you call ; another auto for me?” The chauffeur glanced around him. "Oh. yes'm.” he said. "Of course, j There ought to be some here on the stand now, only there ain't. But I'll go in an’ telephone for one right away.” The man looked doubtfully at the machine indicated. “Don’t think so. miss.” he answered. "That’s a private machine, or I miss my guess; still. ! I'll ask.” Leaving the girl he walked ! over to the curb and addressed the young man sitting on the box of a handsome automobile. No one familiar with the new horse less vehicle would for one moment have supposed that the one in ques tion was for hire. “Racer'’ appeared in every line of its build and costli ness in the exquisite nicety of its con struction. That anythin? but an instant nega tive would be the answer to his query i “whether that machine was for hire?” ! had never passed his brain, so his as ! tonishment may be guessed when the j young man on the box started, gianced at the girl still sitting in the injured vehicle a short distance away, flushed deeply, and replied in the af firmative. Then, without waiting for further explanation, he promptly ran his machine to the side of the other, and halted to permit the girl to climb in. The next moment they were swinging down the avenue at a lively gait. The girl leaned forward. "Ahem!" she said. “Did the other man tell you where I wanted to go?’’ “Said you wanted to see the city, ma’am.” returned the young man, re spectfully. but in a curiously muffled tone. He had kept his head averted, almost as if he wished to conceal his features—a wish—if it were a wish— in which he had been successful; the girl had looked at the machine, but not at the driver. When the chauffeur spoke she started and glanced curiously at him. as though his voice struck some dor mant chord in her memory. ‘‘Yes,” she said. “I do want to see the city, but I want to get to the depot by S o’clock. My train goes out then.” “Yes'm. I’ll get you there in time. Going East, ma'am?” Again the girl looked at him curi “She’s broke down an’II have to go to the shop.” ously. “Yes,” she answered slowly. "I'm on my way to college.” "Oh—er—you believe in the higher education of women, then.” The girl’s eyes were dancing with fun now. “Under certain circum stances,” she said. "Is that the capi tol?" “Yes’m, that’s the capitol. Under certain circumstances. What circum stances, for instance?” “Oh, a stepmother at home, for in stance. How many senators are there?” “Three hundred and eighty-six. I believe. A stepmother might be a ter ror to some girls, of course, but most of them can get away from one home to another without going to college.” “How? By the way, is that the li brary ?” “Yes. Why, of course, most girls have—have—can marry.” The man was speaking eagerly now, but he still kept his face turned away and threw the words over his shoulder. “Married! Whew!'. That’s a very radical remedy. It might be worse than the other trouble. How many books are there in the library?” “Two or three million. I believe. Oh, no! You wouldn’t find it sn. I'm sure. Think of growing into a spectacled old maid! All college girls do, you know. Then think of that young fel low iust longing to make a home for you-” “What building is that?” “That? Oh. the patent office w the pension office or something! think of-” "But suppose the girl has sent him away?” “Then let her whistle him back and see whether he won’t come.” The girl glanced at the broad back \ of the man before her, while her J shoulders quivered with silent mirth. _ ——— —■ ' “ Bessie,” he exclaimed, “ Do you mean it?” Then she puckered up her lips and de liberately emitted a dear, soft whistle. The effort was magical. Instantly the chauffeur swung around in his seat and laced her. “Bessie!” he ex claimed, “do you mean it?” The girl smiled at him. tho”gh her eyes were dewy. “Of course 1 do Frank.” she said. “I never thought you would go away as you did just for a word. No! No! Keep your seat. You can say all that’s really necessary from where you are.” “And you knew me all the time?” “Of course. The minute 1 really looked at you. But you'll make me miss my train.” “Train? No train for you! I’ll not take any chances now. Your interest in the city may have lapsed, but here’s the city hall. Shall I go in and get a marriage license, or—will you go in with me?” He had sprung from the seat and stood holding out his hands, the light of love pleading in his eyes. “Won't you go in with me, Bessie?” he asked again. For an instant the girl hesitated: then she took the proffered hand. “Yes. Frank.” she said softly. “I will go with you—now- and always.” “Bless that old gasoline rattletrap that broke down with you,” he cried. “It must have been one of Cupid's up to-date chariots in disguise.”—Boston Globe. Where the Line Is Drawn. Congressman Joe T. Robinson of Arkansas, who is serving his first term in Washington, is authority for the fact that while his state may have its faults when it comes to gallantry with the fair sex “old Arkansaw” shows up grandly. During his term in -the legislature a third assistant clerk had to be elected and by unani mous consent it was decided that the place should go to a woman. The energetic champions of three fair (laughters of the state enlisted them selves and only after twenty-four bal lots. Miss Hicks, or, as a member des ignated her. the "Lily of Lafayette,” was chosen. “Yes,” responded John R. Thayer, to whom Robinson was telling the interesting story. “Man's admiration for woman never flags. He will give her half his fortune; he will give her his whole heart; in fact he seems ready to give her every advantage ex cept his seat in the street car. ’—Bos ton Journal. Head of British Army. Lord Roberts, who has just retired, was only the eighteenth commande, in-chief that the British army has had since the office was created in 1674. This gives an average tenure of near ly thirteen years, which is a long time for any man to serve after working his way up to so lofty a position. But at times the office has been va cant, and not all of the incumbents put their feet on all the rounds of the ladder. In earlier times the office was a perquisite of the great. Charles II. appointed his son. the^ Duke of Monmouth, who was later beheaded. He was followed by the Duke of Marl borough. * The Duke of Wellington was the fifteenth in succession, if re appointments be counted COULDN’T STAND FOR DEATH. But Miser Was Willing to Go Hall Way—for Money. Mark Hanna's successor, Gen. Dick, was in his youth a teller in an Akron bank. Of his hanking experiences he sometimes says: “One of the depositors with our firm had the reputation of being a miser I don't know whether he was a miser or not, but I do know that he would j sometimes make in one day three or : four deposits—now a dollar, now twc dollars, now fifty cents. Did you ever hear of such a thing? “They used to tell a queer story about this old fellow. They used tc declare that a man once went to him and said: “ ‘I’m a doctor, and i’ll give you $10,000 if you'll- let me kill you. 1 want to see hew, cut in a certain vein a man dies.’ “The old miser wrinkled his fore ’ head. “ ‘Let me think a bit,' he said. "There was a long silence. “‘Well?’ said the visitor. “ 'Give me till to-morrow.' said th< miser. 'I'll think this business out thoroughly, and to-morrow I’ll give you a decisive answer, yes cr no.’ “So the man went away, and tlu next day he returned. The miser sai( to him: “ ’I can't let you kill me for $10,000 friend. I’ve figured if all out. anc 1 find that, your money would be nc good to me after 1 was dead, I’ll tel. you what. I will do. though. I'll lei you half kill me for $5,000.’ ” OLDTIMER WENT THE LIMIT. Can Any One Remember a Windier Day Than This? The late William C. Whitney used to relate a conversation that he heard in his youth between two Connecticut farmers during his student davs at Yale. "These two old men," he would be gin, "always were contradicting and deriding one another. They were friends: they liked to be together; but all their talk was made up of sneers and scoffs. “One windy March day they fell into an argument on the question of high winds. They disputed bitterly as to which of them could remember the most windy day. "The younger of the two said: " ‘Well, Josh, I mind the mornin' o' April four; in the year '03. when ’tw-uz so all-fired windy that it took the crows two tours to fly from the ten-acre lot to Lheir roost by the green barn—a fly o’ less'n a mile.’ "'Shucks, ’William.’ said the older farmer. 'I mind days so windy that the crows had to walk home.’”—New York Notes. His True Position. The Celtic wit that bubbles forth in the arguments of Lawyer Thomas Riley is always refreshing, even his opponents having to concede points made by apt clauses in his jury ad dresses. A brother lawyer, who had settled a probate matter, had sent in a bill for a very large fee and the heirs thereupon engaged Mr. Riley to contest the charge against their form er counsel. Mr. Riley's plea ended in this manner: "I went to my brother attorney’s office and I reasoned with him—1 begged him—I implored him—I be seeched him to remember that he was only a counsel in this case and not one of the heirs.— Boston Journal. Cut of Date. Some twenty years ago. when Wil ton Laekaye first went upon the stage, he was rehearsing a part in “Paul Kauvar.” under the direction of the author, the late Steele Mack aye. who, while he was admitted to be a very capable stage manager, was considered somewhat old-fashioned by the more modern dramatic school. During the rehearsal Mackaye and Laekaye had a slight dispute as to how a part should be acted. “Do you pretend to argue with me?” demanded Mackaye, magestically. “I have been an acknowledged master oi the dramatic art for twenty years.’ “Yes," said Laekaye, “but not this twenty.” A Gallant Butter-man. When the Queen of England, daugh ter of the King of Denmark, was the Princess of Wales, she attended one afternoon, a food show. At this food sjiow there was a dis play of butter that pleased the Prin cess of Wales greatly. She praised the butter, and to its exhibitor sht said: “Denmark sends us the best butter, doesn't it?” The dealer smiled, and shook his head. “No, your royal highness," he an swered. gallantly. “Denmark sends us the best princesses, but Devonshire sends us the best butter." A Child’s Thought of God. They say that God lives very high: But if you look above the pines You cannot see our God; and why? And if you dig down in the mines You never see Him in the gold. Though from Him all that's glory shines, God is so good. He wears a fold Of heaven and earth across His face— Like secrets kept, for love, untold. But still I feel that His embrace Slides down by thrills, through all things made. Through sight and sound of every place: As if my tender mother laid On my shut lips her kisses' pressure. Half-waking me at night, and said, "Who kissed you through the dark, dear guesser?" —Elisabeth Barrett Browning. A Unique Water Cooler. Several new devices are on the mar ket for keeping water cool without putting ice in it. One arrangement consists of a pail which has an aper ture for ice in the center. The water is poured around this, and even in the hottest weather will keep cool for twelve hours. This is an especially desirable scheme for the sick room. A New Umbrella Jar. A new umbrella jar about nine by twenty-seven inches is certainly mucB more convenient than the tall ones used in the past. This modern one is long enough to hold not only the um brellas and parasols, but the cane? as well. It is of blue majolica and has a large white daisy sprawling over the front.
