women should not fail to try
Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable
Compound as she did.
Mrs. A. Gregory, of 2355 Lawrence
St., Denver, CoL, writes tp Mrs.
Pinkham :
" I was practically an invalid for six
fears, on account of female troubles,
underwent an operation by the
doctor's advice, but in a few months I
was worse than before. A friend ad
vised Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable
Compound and it restored me to perfect
health, such as I have not enjoyed in
many years. Any woman suffering' as
I did with backache, bearing-down
pains, and periodic palns.should not fail
to use Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable
Compound."

A RESOLUTION TO BE KEPT.
' Mr. Woodson resolves that he will'
never again wear a high hat when
snowballs are ripe.
Went Him a Few Better.
A very dapper looking young mn
entered a Chicago hotel a few days
ago, followed by a middle-aged man
who seemed to be just a little care
less concerning his personal appear
ance. The affable ' clerk offered a
pen to the carefully dressed young
gentleman, who registered himself as
"William Henry Tyler III." When he
had stepped aside the other man
reached for the pen and under Mr.
Tyler's name wrote: "John Smith
MCDCCCLXLIX."
Art Ancient Instance.
Belsbazzar was giving his great
feast and the wine flowed like water.
"Inasmuch as I'm the whole works,"
he said, "I don't think a proclamation
by a chief of police or anybody else
Is going to stop this affair at one
o'clock a. m. or any other hour!"
No sooner had he uttered this
boast than the handwriting appeared
on the wall.
A Bird Worth $5,000..
At the Cage Bird association's show

don, England, there is an ezhibtlon a
ting bird of paradise valued by Its

the light in a wonderful way. Be
neath the copper-colored neck ruffle
the bird has a second ruffle of velvety
blackness, and even its feet are bright,
being colored a light blue.
A Dish Men Like.
In a city restaurant where business
men congregate there is a spaghetti
dish that has won great popularity
among the lunchers. The spaghetti is
cooked with strips of boiled ham and
shreds of green pepper and the com
bination is remf kably tasty.
To Restore Color.
When the color Is taken from
dresses by lemon, pieplant or tomato
juice sponge the spot with aqua am
monia, then wash in warm soapsuds.
The color will be restored entirely.
v Not Sure About It.
"You have myopia, haven't you,"
asked the eye doctor, who had called
at Che public library to look at a

said the near-sighted attendant, blink

ZT0
WAS ON THE LEVEL
WIFEY'S LINE OF TALK NOT
MEANT FOR SARCASM.
Cause "of the Late Dinner Consider
ably Puzzled Mr. Hopkins Until
His Better Half Settled It
with an Explanation.
Hopkins had been detained at his
office an hour later than usual, and
when he boarded a car for his home
he was all nervous. His nervousness
increased ad he got nearer home. It
was no wonder, either, for Hopkins
had promised his wife to be home
early that evening.
He tried to read his paper, but in
stead he found himself repeating from
memory the line of talk that his wife
would hand him about keeping dinner
waiting upon poking around down
town after he left the office, and how
thoughtless he was of her wishes and
a lot more like that.
He had his explanation all framed
up ready for use when he let himself
into the flat with his key.
Mrs. Hopkins came in smiling when
she heard his shut the door.
"Dinner isn't quite ready," she re
marked apologetically, as she helped
him oft with his overcoat.
"Isn't, hey," says Hopkins, suspiciously,-
wondering what sort of a
game she had fixed up on him. He
wished whatever it was she'd get it all
over with.
"You aren't very hungry, are you?"
she asked, "because I am getting up
just a plain little meal this evening"
still in that tone of apology.
"Huh, uh," says Hopkins, "any old
thing'll do me, just so its some sort
of food product." He looked at her in
a Btibdued manner that - said, "Yes,
I'll be 'if for whatever the game is,
but let's get started." It was all too
deep for Hopkins. He never was
much of a hand at working out mys
teries and rebuses and the like, and
whatever the plot was it was getting
on his nerves.
"That's Just like you," went on Mrs.
Hopkins, "you never complain. Here,
I think this is the best light right over
here if you want to look over your
paper. I'll hurry up dinner just as
fast as I can. I'm almost ashamed of
what a little I've got. Oh, wait! Ill
get you a clean towel if you're going
to wash your hands."
And so her talk ran . "Going to be a
nice evening of it, isn't it," thought
Hopkins to himself. "Yes, it isn't
Wonder how long she's going to keep
it up. I guess women aren't the plot
ters or anything! The idea of puttin
on so much sarcastic stuff just be
cause a man's a little bit late getting
home."
At the dinner table the missus laid
down her hand. The game had really
been on the level all the time. "I'll not
let this happen again," she began in
that same apologetic tone. "You see.
I went shopping after we left the club
meeting, and I just got home a few
minutes before you did. I didn't
realize how late it was. You're just a
dear not to complain of such a skimpy
little meal. I know how hungry you
are when you get home. It's a perfect
shame. You're not going to scold me
though, are you?"
Women Smile at Fortuny's Veils.
Prof. Fortuny, known as an esthetic
enthusiast, is providing much merri
ment for the fashionable women of
Berlin. He has on exhibition a new
feminine costume he has invented and
which is known as "Fortuny's Veils,
The veils are of silk chiffon from five
to six yards lqng and two yards wide,
Their colors are light rose, violet and
blue. On the chiffon are painted
Greek vases and other ornamental
Greek designs made from articles un
earthed in ancient Greek cities. For
tuny wants to clothe his contempor
aries with these veils worn over ordi
nary apparel to supplement rather
than supplant what is being worn. He
argues that veils, when beautifully
draped, give an individuality to a wom
an's appearance, that the art of drap
ing will be brought to such a state of
perfection that the modern women will
surpass her ancient Greek sisters in
the art of dressing. He shows also
little gold pins and broaches of Gre
cian design to hold the veil together.
May Cure Turtle Flesh.
There is talk in Queensland, Aus
tralla, on whose coast turtles are
plentiful, of curing the flesh for ex
port. Three kinds of turtle are found
oft the coral reefs the loggerhead,
the hawsbill and the green turtle. The
two latter are edible, and the haws
bill furnishes the tortoise shell of
commerce. Travelers relate that the
aborigines light fires on the backs of
the turtles to make the shell peel off
easily, after which painful ordeal the
animal is allowed its freedom and
grows another shell. This is, of
course, a Munchausen yarn. The fact
is that after killing the turtle the
aborigines put it over a fire to facili
tate the removal of the plates. The
professional tortoise shell getters
bury the' beast in clean sand, and
when the flesh is decomposed it is
easily taken from the shell. The
plentiful green turtle is of most value
for food.
Divination.
The palmist gazed into the proffered
hand, but hesitated.
"What can you see there?" asked

"I can see," responded the palmist,
"that you're from Pittsburg. Kindly

soap and water, and I will try to see
something more." Philadelphia Led

Bernard P. Woods of Jackson street.

much disordered.
This continued for fifteen years and

NO BLESSING FOR HER.
Disappointed Youngster Discriminated
In His Prayer.
For several weeks, little Ralph had
enjoyed . the use of a Shetland pony,
the property of a horse dealer who
was a friend of the family. But much
to Ralph's sorrow, there came a day
recently when the pony was sold, and
the delightful horseback rides came
to a sudden end. The purchaser, as
Ralph found out by inquiry, was a
little girl of about his own mature
age of five. Ever since his acquaint
ance with the pony began, Ralph had
included him in his bedtime prayer,
and "God bless the pony," was an
earnest nightly petition. The first
evening after the sale of the pony,
Ralph hesitated when he reached his
pet's place in the prayer. Then, after
a moment's thought, he continued:
"P.'ease, God, bless the pony just
the same; but, God, don't you bless
the little girl what's got the pony."
ITCHING HUMOR ON BOY
HI Hands Were a Solid Mass, and
Disease Spread All Over Body
Cured in 4 Days By Cuticura.
"One day we noticed that our little
boy was all broken out with Itching
sores. We first noticed it on his little
hands. His hands were not as bad
then, and we didn't think anything
serious would result. But the next day
we heard of the Cuticura Remedies
being so good for itching sores. By
this time the disease had spread all
oyer his body, and his hands were
nothing but a solid mass of this itch
ing disease. I purchased a box of Cuti
cura Soap and one box of Cuticura
Ointment, and that night I took the
Cuticura Soap and lukewarm water
and washed him well. Then I dried
him and took the Cuticura Ointment
and anointed him with It I did this
every evening and in four nights he
was entirely cured. Mrs. Frank Don

"O, dear, no! He didn't use it at

Starch were used. In order to get tha

Defiance Starch, as it can be applied

New Yorker Saw Beauty In Sign,
Where Maiden Lady Could Not.
A party of tourists was being shown
around Ciudad Juarez, the little Mexi
can town just across the Rio Grande
from EI Paso, Texas. Every one was
delighted with its picturesqueness,
and in particular a maiden lady, who
went into raptures about each, new
eight.
"It is all so quaint," she said. "These
adobe houses, the old church, the nar
row streets, the little plaza, those
dreadful-looking men wearing som
breros; everything breathes the spir
it of an old-world civilization. It is
so different from our United States."
"That's so," assented a New York
man who had been listening. "For
instance, where in all the world could
you find anything so antique, so full
of inherent beauty, so charged, as it
were, with the essence of pure joy, as
that sign over there." He pointed
toward a whitewashed mud house on
whose exterior was painted:
"BIGGEST BEER IN TOWN, 5c."
The woman eagerly turned to look.
Then she froze the horrid man with
a glance and did not speak to him
again during the whole trip.
