Child's Idea of Bliss. A small child had been promised that if she were very good she should be taken to a hotel with her father and mother.

He offered the goods for sale at aboiM one-fourth of their value and was arrested on suspicion. He pro tested vo the police that he came into possession of the goods honestly. When piessed he declared that he won the articles at poker in the lumber woods. Oleson said he had been in the woods many months. The lumberjacks received no money while in the woods, but were expected to wait until they returned to town for their pay. At the company “store" in the woods the men could get such articles as they desired, however, having them charged against their time. Accordingly the men used merchandise instead of checks in their ! games.

Acting on the suggestion. I took ; my old Queen Anne and pift about five j fingers of the best powder in her and ■ then a candle, ard as all the boards j out o: doors have about nine feet of i snow on top of them, 1 took the bot tom board of my bunk in the camp and stuck it in the snow about seven i fathoms distant and fired. When 1 got to the target I found the candle had struck all right, but it had not even dieted the board and •was fattened out fla'er than my j pocket book after I had bought my winter's rum. I 1 came to the conclusion that some one was telling the Sun some damn | lies. However, I did not lose the candle altogether. I scraped it off the board and took it back into the camp and fried pancakes with it for j my supper. A Lover of Truth. Herring Cove, N. S., Feb. 17. — New York Sun. A Flora! Clock.

Ella Lee __ An eminent physician says that j “Women are not truthful: they will lie to their physician ” This statement should be qualified; women do tell the truth, but not the whole truth, to a *male physician, but this is only in re gard to those painful and troublesome disorders peculiar to their sex. • There can he no more terrible ordeal to a delicate, sensitive, refined woman than to be obliged to answer certain questions when those questions are asked, even by her family physician This is especially the case with un married women. Is it any wonder, then, that women continue to suffer and that doctors fail to cure female diseases when they cannot get the proper information to work on ? This is the reason why thousands and I thousands of women are now corre- i sponding with Mrs. Pinkham. To her they can and do give every symptom, so that she really knows more about the true condition of her patients, through her correspondence with them than the physician who personalty questions them. If you suffer from any form of trouble peculiar to women, write at once to ] Mrs. Pinkhr m, Lynn. Mass., and she < will advise you free of charge. The fact that this great boon. which j is extended freely to women by Mrs. Pinkham, is appreciated, the thou- j sands of letters received by her prove. ; Many such grateful letters as the fol- I lowing are constantly pouring in.
