Mrs. Baker So Weak Could
Not Do Her Work Found
Relief In Novel Way.
Adrian, Mich. " I suffered terribly
With female weakness and backache and
got so weak that I
could hardly do my
work. When I
washed my dishes I
had to sit down and
when I would sweep
the floor I would get
so weak that I would
have to get a drink
every few minutes,
and before I did my
dustinglwouldhavo
to lie down. I got
ao poorly that my folks thought I was
going into consumption. One day I
found a piece of paper blowing around
the yard and I picked it up and read it
It said 'Saved from the Grave,' and
told what Lydia E. PInkham's Vegeta
ble Compound has done for women. I
showed it to my husband and he said,
Why don't you try it ? ' So I did, and
after I had taken two bottles I felt
better and I said to my husband, 'I don't
need any more,' and he said 'You bad
better take it a little longer anyway.'
So I took it for thrco months and got
well and strong." Mrs. Alonzo E.
Baker, 9 Tecumseh St, Adrian, Mich.
Not Well Enough to Work.
In these words is hidden the tragedy
of many a woman, housekeeper or wage
earner who supports herself and is often
helping to support a family, on meagre
wages. Whether in house, ofHce, fac
tory, shop, store or kitchen, woman
should remember that there is one tried
and true remedy for the ills to which all
women are prone, and that Is Lydia E.
Pinkbam'a Vegetable Compound. It

HOW HE TURNED THE TRICK
After This, Mr. Mordecal Hammerfest
Must Do Credited With Knowing
a Thing or Two.
Mrs. Mordecal Hammerfest turned
palo ns her husband entered the din

"Mordy!" sho gasped. "Do you
don't you feel well?"
"Perfectly," ho replied in seeming
surprise.
"But but, you aro in your your
underdudsl"
"Tell mo something I don't know.
Pass tho butter, pleaso," said Mr. Ham
morfoBt. Sho passed tho butter, remarking
nervously, "But, Mordy, dear, as you
camo in I saw you didn't havo any
shoes on."
"Well, what of It, Your hair Is In
curl papors, isn't it?"
"Why y-yes."
"And you havo on a wrapper,
haven't you?"
"Yes."
"Very well, then."
And ho went on eating his break
fast in silence except when ho asked
her to pass tho butter. Then ho went
upstairs and finished dressing, and tho
noxt morning and on succeeding morn
ings she reported for breakfast in reg
ular clothes.
Real Tragedy of the Stage.
A beautiful actress, Fraulein Dar
mcr, was killed by nccldont recently,
whllo playing at tho Theater of Va
rieties at Bcrno, Switzerland. The last
act of tho comedy, "Tho Prldo ot tho
Third Company," was coming to an
end when Fraulein Darmer fell
through a defoctlvo stage trap to a
distance of eix feet and fractured her
skull. Tho actress was carried uncon
scious to her room and a doctor was
in prompt attendance, but the case
was beyond his holp, and as the cur
tain fell on tho comedy on the stage
tho girl died. Neither the members of
tho company who took the final "call"
nor tho public, who wondered why the
actress did not appear, had the slight
est idea of the tragedy that had oc
curred behind tho sconce.

tho food they serve is something ter

"Too bad Jinx and his wife don't

"Why, I always understood that they

"Did he have a black eye?"
"No, but he stopped In when we
were on our way home and bought her

"I didn't know you were so accom

glanced at the paper she was writing.
"I don't mako any pretentions In

"But that Is a Russian newspapei

"Why, so It is," she answered In sur

LESSON FOR JULY 19
BLIND BARTIMAEU8.
LESSON TEXT-Mark 10:-6l
CJOLDEN TEXT-"Then tho eyes of the
blind alinll bo opened, and tho cars of tho
deaf shall bo unitoppod. Then ahnll tha
lame man leap m an hart, and tho
toncuo of the dumb oh till sing: for In tho
wlldernrBS nliall waters break out, and
trenma In tho draort." Isn. S3:5, .
On our Lord's Journey "towards Je
rusalem," tho placo of sacrlfico, a
placo of power was Bought by his dis
ciples, Mark 10:37. This lesson is an
Illustration given to thoso who accom
panied Jesus how thoy too may reach
a plnco ot powor, viz., through service
and sacrlfico.
Matthew 20:30-34 tolls un that thore
wero two who mado tho appeal but
Mark seems to havo thought that Bar
tlmacus was worthy of special men
tion. . Tho healing mentioned by Luke
18:35 suggests that In that caso It
occurred as Jesus was entering and
not leaving Jericho. Mark la tolling ol
ono man, Luko ot another.
Man's Nature.
I. Bartlmaeua Begging, w 48-48.
Tho passing throng robukod tho beg
gar. Very likely tho disciples Jolnod
In this rebuke. This certainly shows!
the fact that none ot them fully coin-!
prehondod tho Lord's touching as sug-1,
gestcd In Mark 10:45. Bartlmaous la'
an Illustration ot man by nature. His
homo, Jericho, was tho city under "a
curso" (Josh 6:17), nnd Is a typo of
this world cursed by sin. Ho was
blind, seo II Cor. 4:4; Rov. 3:17. His
rags suggost Isa. G4:6 and Phil. 3:0.
If tho robuko was mainly by tho dis
ciples It was that thoy might savo the
master during theso strango days.
Great and marvelous wero tho works
and teachings ho was porformlng, but
theso were tho things that called forth ,
such a waysldo sorvlco. It was a glad
messago to Bartlmaous, "Jesus of Na
zareth passoth by." Thero was no
ono olso who could help him. Some
ono had told him of tho power of
Jesus. Now his opportunity Is at hand,
ho must not miss it. Jesus nover
passed that way again. Bartlmaeus
began by crying out, Rom. 10:13; he
called whllo Christ was near enough,
to hear, Isa. 65:6. His cry was that
of conscious need, It was direct, It
was insistent. Ho called Jesus "Son '
ot David" e. g., tho Messiah, although
tho people had said "Jesus ot Naza
reth," seo Matt. 9:27; 16:21, 22. His
cry for "mercy" Is rebuked. Many to
day are so stiff and formal as to frown
upon any religious enthusiasm or ear
nestness. It was not beneath the dig
nity of Jesus to be disturbed by a
blind beggar. Though poor In purse
Bartlmaeus was rich In faith for he
answered those who robukod him by
crying "tho more a great deal." H
would not bo put off.
"Come to Jesus."
II. Bartlmaeus Blessed, w. 4042.
His command "call ye him" Is Indica
tive of tho conscious power of Christ;
Notice bis great interest as suggested'
by tho words, "Jesus stood still." Re
member his Important mission to Je
rusalem and the leaders ot the people,
who occupied his tlmo; yetbodoosnot
compel Bartlmaous to follow after, norj
to overtake him ere his prayer Is an-1
swered, see Matt. 11:28. This wasl
good news for the disciples to pro
claim, Matt 28:19,20. Thero was noj
Indecision on the part of Bartlmaeus.;
Casting his garment asldo he sprang)
up, camo and cast himself at the feet!
of Jesus. Although Jesus possessed;
all power still Its manifestation was,
confined to the deslro of tho beggar.
The Teaching: First, tho readiness
of God's mercy. Jesus had boon roject-,
od by rulers and councils and is mov
ing "steadfastly" toward the consum
mation of his earthly career. That
Journey led him through Jericho, per
haps that ho might meet Bartlmaeus.
At Jerusalem ho Is to pronounce sen
tence upon tbo rebellion of his people.
Nevertheless when one of that same
peoplo called him by the title that
BuggoBtod his Messlahshlp. "Son of
David," he Immediately turnod aside
In rcsponso thereto, Heb. 3:2. God
nover destroys the righteous with the
wicked or the repentant with the re
bellious. His ear Is ever open to the
faintest cry.
Second. The failure of men to ap
prehend this fact Thero aro many to
day as successors of thoso who re
buked Bartlmaeus. Some who hold
him In reverenco and yet fall to ap
prehend adequately that ho camo to
"seek and to Bavo tho lost." There Is
no consideration of policy or of expe
diency, no question of method, nor tho
Importanco of rank, that can stand la
tho way of opening blind eyes, and an
swering tho cry ot the beggar,
Third. Tho nature of saving faith.
Tho answer ot relief from the Lord
comes In responso to the profound con
viction of personal need. "Ho came
not to call tho righteous but sinners to
repentance." There Is nothing in that
call to make any deflnlto appeal to
tho righteous. A blind man, through
someono's testimony hoars that bo Is
near and cries out to him from tho
dopths ot his need. But there must bo'
also a rocognltlou of powor. Bartl
maous bad no assuranoo until ho had
mado his appeal; ho took a chance as
It wero. 'llo was not assured until
his oyoa wero oponed. j
