They save a daughter from blindness.
Whtn a father writes ttratyonrs " is the
fcest taeilicine in the world," you can
allow .omcthinK for seeming cxtrava
cancc in the statement if you know that
the mediciuc no praised, cured a loved
daughter of disease and restored to her
the eyesight nearly lot. The best med
icine in the world lor on is the medicine
that cures you. There can't be anything
better. No medicine can do more than
cure. That is why John S. Goode, of
Orrick, Mo., writes in these strong terms:
" Ir. Ayer's Sarsaparilla i the best med
icine in the world. Mv daughter had a
relapse after the measles, due to taking
cold. She was nearly blind.and was obliged
to remain in a dark room all the time.
The doctors could give her no relief; one
of them directed me to give her Ayer's
Sarsaparilla. Two bottles cured her com
pletely." TV.e thousands of testimonials to the
value of Dr. Ayer's Sarsaparilla repeat
over and over again, in ane former another
the expression: "The doctors gave her
no relief; one of them directed me to
Kive her Dr. Avcr's Sarsaparilla. Two
bottles completely cured her."
It is. a common experience to try Dr.
Ayer's SaraDarilla as a last resort. It is

DIRECTIONS.
n common erpericr.ee ta hare Dr. Ayer'a
Sarsaparilla prescribed by a physician.
It is a common experience to s.ee a " com
plete cure" follow the use of a few bottles
of this great blood purifying medicine.
Because, it is a specihe for all forms of
blood disease. If a disease lios its origin
in bad or impure blood. Dr. Ayer's Sars
aparila, acting directly on the blood, re
moving its impuritio and giving to it
vitalizing energy, will promptly eradicate
the disease.
The great feature of Dr. Ayer's Sarsapa
rilla is the radical cures that result from
its Use. Many medicines only suppress
disease they push the pimples down
under the skin.thcv paint the complexion
with subtle arsenical corarcuiids, but the
disease rases ia the leins like a pent-up
fire, and some day breaks out in a vol.
canic eruption that eats up the body.
Ayer's Sarsaparilla goes to the root. It
makes the fountain clean and the waters
are clean. It makes the root good and
the fruit is good. It gives Nature the
elements she needs to build up the broken
down constitution not to brace it up with
stimulants or patch it up on the surface.

It was April Fools' day, and snow
ing, too, as hard JV3 it could snow.
Think of it! V.'oodie Nelson had
thought of it until it did seem as if he
should fly all to pioces, he felt so bad.
"It's too mean Co; anything!" he said
to mamma, "w'tca we'd planned on
nach lots of fun. What makes every
thing go crossw?ys, mamma?"
"It doesn't always, does it?" laugh
ed mamma, who was busy painting a
very natural-looking lily on a velvet
banner. "Why don't you run over and
see Aunt Hetty Creenleaf a little while.
If you want to, dear?"
Wocdie brightened up. Aunt Het
ty wasn't his own aunt, really, but ho
couldn't have loved her any better if
she had been. She va3 full of fun,
and did not mind bow much noise
you made, and Woodie had beea ac
quainted with h?r ever since he was a
very little boy, Indeed.
"Mayn't I call and get Charley
Banks and Teddy to go, too?" he ask
ed, pulling his cap down over his ears
If It was the first of April. "They'll
like to, mamma. And Meddy Davis
and Bert and "
"Oh, not too many," said mamma,
smiling. "You'll make Aunt Hetty
think she's taken. Not too many, re
member, dear."
"No'm," Woodie answered. "I'll re
member." But when he opened Aunt Hetty's
garden-gate half an hour afterward,
there wasn't one less than seven boys
behind him. Eight boys! And all go
ing to see Aunt Hetty Greenleaf.
Aunt Hetty apied them coming and
laughed until her glasses dropped off.
. SHE SUNG-OUT "CARItAGE!"
Then she hrritfd to the kitchen and
put a cake of jomethiug that looked
like brown bred in her preserve-kettle,
with Fame vater, and set It on the
fire. And the'i the hurried back to
the front dooi ust in time io open it
for her visitors.
"Come right In!" she said. "I'm
proper pleased lc see you."
Wood- was glad to hear that, be
cause he was beginning to be afraid
she couldn't be. and he said so in a
'whisper to Aunt Hetty when he got a
chance.
"Mamma told me not too many," he
confessed, a little anxiously; "but they
all wanted to come, you know, and I
couldn't tell 'em they mustn't, yoa
know", Aunt Hetty."
once remembered that it wnc April
Fools day. It didn't seem as if they
had been there more than half ?:S
"Bless your heart, cf course you
couldn't, and I wouldn't want you to,"
said Aunt Hetty. "Now have just as
nice a time as you can."
She showed them into the little sitting-room
where she kept her canaries,
and a parrot that could talk, and a
wide shelfful of story-books, and a
kaleidoscope that never showed you
the same picture twice, and dominoes
and a checkerboard, and some jack
stones, though what Aunt Hetty did
with these the boys couldn't imagine.
They knew what to do with them,
though. I should think so, indeed!
Such a jolly time as they had! and.
as true as you live, not one of them
hour when Aunt Hetty came in and
said, with a merry twinkle, in her
bright brown eyes:
"Now, what if I show you how to
play a game I used to play when I was
little? Do you want I should?"
"Oh, yes indeed!" I should say they
did. A game which Aunt Hetty had
playei must surely be well worth play
ing. "It is called 'the garden,' " went on
Aunt Hetty, still with that funny lit
tle t.f inkle in her eye, though her
face ,as sober enough, "and I will be
the gardener, and do my planting in
the kitchen so it will be a kltc'r.cs
garden, won't it? And you boys must
so the vegetables, and each one come
jjll w
when I call him. And yoa no'!
tell your names to each other; do pon
understand?"
"Oh, yes, ma'am!" They thoight
they did.
So Aunt Hetty ranged them a little
way apart, and went along the row
whispering to each boy.
"Now, I'm going to stand in this
door," said she, "and when I call the
name of a vegetable the boy to waom
it belongs must get to the kitchen as
quick as he can." And almost in .the
same breath she sung out, "Cabbage!"
Such a scramble you never saw!
with every one of those eight boys try
ing to get to the kitchen first Aunt
Hetty Greenleaf laughed until the
tears came into her eyes; and right in
the midst of it all Woodie stopped
short
"O boys! boys!" he cried, "we're
cabbage-heads, sure enough! It's
April Fools' day, don't you know, and
Aunt Hetty fooled us all."
But there wasn't any fooling about
the pans of snow on the kitchen-table,
and the kettle of maple candy on the
kitchen 'stove. ACS.
Aunt Flora was making sojJ walnut-creams
the last after neon in
March. She had to crack the nuts
very carefully to get them o9t whole,
and some halves of shelLl wire not
broken at all. Jack's sharp eyes dis
covered them in the coal-hcd.
"Oh, goody!" cried he, "they'll be
just the thing to fool Teddy rith to
morrow. Aunt Flo. I'll stick 'em to
gether and he'll think they're regular
walnuts."
"I wouldn't." said J ri: Flova. "Ho
is such u little boy, and he will be so
disappointed. I wouldn't, Jai."
But Jack would. He picked out
shells enough to make tares walnuts;
then he got the glue-bottle and stuck
them together so carets', ly you
wouldn't have known they viere ever
cracked.
"Don't they look just good enough to
eat?" laughed he. "Now. when they
get dry I'll put them in a paper bag
and give them to Teddy in the morn
ing." Then he ran out to his play, whist
ling; and he played so long and hard
that he didn't think of the walnuts
again until he came home from school
next dar, at noon. Aunt Flora had
put thert away for him, howver. She
told bin: where to find them.
"On the second shelf of t'te dining
room clceet, in a paper-bag," said she.
Jack's face had a sober look. He
thought perhapa Aunt Flora didn't
like his joke.
"Mayl:e I hadn't best fool Teddy,"
said he. "Guess I'll take 'em out and
fool Johnny Wilson. I haven't been
fooled today, Aunt Flo."
But Aunt Flora did not answer,
and when Jack got to the dining-room
he found Teddr there. It d'd seem too
good a chance to be lost Jack took
ths bag of walnuts from the closet
shelf.
"Hello. Teddy!" he said, "have some
nuts?"
"Oh. res!" cried Teddy, running to
get the tack-hammer. He liked wal
nuts almost Letter than anything els
"You're the bestest boy, Jack," he said,
At which Jack looked sober again
I think he folt a littie bit ashamed.
After all, it wasn't the best of fun to
fool a little five-year-old boy, and
his own brother, too. But he gave
Teddy the bag.
In less than two seconds down cam
the hammer on the first walnut It
cracked very e?sily, indeed, and It
had the funniest kernel you ever saw
in a nut- -a bright new dime! It didn't
take long to crack the other two. yoa
may be sure; asd there were thirty
A
"WHERE DID 'EM COME FROM?"
cents enough to buy two whole
pounds of walnuts.
'Oh! oh!" criert Teddy, astonished
beyond measure. "Are they mine?
Where did 'em come from?"
Jack's face was red as a rose. He
was almost ready to feel cross about
it; but, looking up, he saw Aunt Flora
smiling in the doorway, and laughed,
instead, a little sheepishly.
"I guess I'm like the story yon told
about the man that threw the boomer
a;iS Aunt Flo. and it came back and
hit bim." said he. "But Vm glad of it,
just the same,"

words of truth and soberness when 1
say that no university in the land hast
done more for the higher education
of the United States during the last
twenty years than the Johns Hopkina'
