THE LAND OF LONG AGO.
Where the mountains grand and solemn
Ouard the landscape calm and still.
Watching o'er Its peaceful beauty
Just as Riant watchers will.
Oft 1 love amid the splendor.
As the sun Is sinking low
Just to gate upon the picture
As In days of lone ago.
There the flowers are upward springing
As of old they oft would grow;
And the happy birds are singing
staking music sweet and lew
While In many a wayside garden
Pear familiar blossoms stand
Oh It Is a realm enchanted
.Wondrous glimpse of childhood's land.
Boftly sounds the rippling streamlet
While It seeks the distant Ufa
Hark I hear the millstones whirring
Grinding grain from hill and lea.
Ever sings the merry miller
Some sweet strain In accent low.
Oh It Is a land of gladness
As It was long years ago.

AuntTempy's Little Miss
By Mary Tracy Earlt.
" tf -0""f '"!''''' "fc1'lt
IF BYKIVS NEST lind not quite fallen
into ruin It was because Aunt Teni-
py's shoulders were so broad they held
it up; but Aunt Tempy was beginning
to need help. The paint had all flaked
off the house and the winds and the
rains had beaten down the pillars of
the deep gallery so that the gallery
roof sagged until it looked like a dilap-
idated hat-br'im falling over a face and
hiding everything except an unhappy
.tinder lip. It was true thut La Marque
.roscs and honeysuckle and Confeder-
ate spiral were far more picturesque
.than paint and pillars and the old
.house smiled at Ill-fortune whenever
1he flowers bloomed; but just now it
.was late December and the roses were
Jinnging brown nnd limp from recent
irost. The north wind had full sweep
ucross the great Wild lawn cleared so
jnany years ago to be an orange orchard
jind still lying in furrows although the
.trees had frozen long ago and been
backed down. Poor old Charlie the
Jiorse had come up into the lee of the
IcrttShen and was patiently waiting for
n little meal nnd water or a dole of
sweet-potato peelings from inside.
Aunt Tempy came out of the kitchen
'door with some covered dishes on n
waiter and started across to the house
shaking her round turbaned head at
the old horse as Charlie ambled up.
'You nilsable ole beggah" she ex-
postulated "1 gits tired of fcedin' you
like a pig an den having you look as
Jiongry as a sawhawsc an' make eyes at
everything you see. You had ought to
be ashamed begging for little Miss'
dinnah knowing as well as you do dat
little Miss is po'ly. I reckon you'd like
it snh if I was to give you dis gumbo
t mi' feed little Miss on hay an' oats "
: She paused for old Charlie ilxed her
.with a mild reproachful eye. It was
years since he had tasted oats and he
ielt that it was unkind to be taunted
.with n preference for gumbo.
' I "Oh go 'long!" she cried in vindica-
tion. "If you hasn't had none you
' know it's 'case you' teef is wore short;
nn' you hain't no 'scuse faw complain-
' In' when you 'member how long little
iMiss been po'ly an' don't nevnh say a
word."
Poor old Charlie felt that if nnyone
Jiad not said a word it had been himself
and he looked sadly after Aunt Tempy
as she disappeared; then he went stum-
bling off across the chill sere reaches
of the lawn trying to recall how appe-
tizing oats had been when he wasyoung
and frisky and before hard times had
come to Ilyrd's Xest.
"Little Miss" Byrd was the last of
Jicr people nnd poor run-down old
Uyrd's Nest was the last of her proper-
ty. The rest had all gone in paying
'doctor's bills since the day when she
had fallen out of old "Homer" the tall.
- jnoss-drapped live-oak that overlooked
(".the bay. That was only three years
ago; she had been almost n grown lady
ami Aunt Tempy had told her that very
orning that she was too old to play
'torn-boy" any more.
There was no danger of her playing
torn-boy after that. She lay quite still
in her bed and her checks grew thin
end the lines of pain sank deep around
her mouth and there was no color any-
where about her face except her won-
derful clear-ehinlug hazel eyes which
pain and suffering seemed only to make
more bright. The doctors shook their
heads when Aunt Tempy spoke about
getting well although she did grow-
strong enough to take a few steps lean-
ing on Aunt Tempy's arm. Hut even
that grew to be an old story without
growing into a longer story and little
Mis had to look the sorrowful truth
in the face. There was a long life be-
fore her and yet she had no prospect
of ever taking a step alone. She some-
times turned her cheek against her pil-
low and tried to dream of those old
days when she was a tomboy and used
to climb trees and ride old Charlie
"bareback" through the woods and
row out Into the sunset on the bay that
she could only see from her window
now. And sometimes she wondered if
all those old times had not been a
dream and if she really had ever
walked alone and walked .urther than
from her bedtoom out on to the gallery
to see the roses or to the queerold car-
riage in which she still went driving
through all the shady village streets.
Aunt Tempy was coachman nnd held
the reins like a menace over old Charlie
sitting as erect ns If she were main-
taining the dignity of all the ilyrds.
Dignity seemed to be the only one of
the Uyrd resources left and It was well
to make the most of it.
When little Miss did not feel like go-
ing out driving it nearly broke Aunt
Tempy's heart. She believed that as
long ns people could go out and take
the air in their carriages they were on
the road to getting well. That was one
reason why she resented Charlie's age
nnd thinness she had a suspicion that
little Miss did not enjoy riding behind
co old and feeble a horse and it was one
of the objects of her life to make little
Miss believe that he was young.
"I wish you all could see dat Chawlie
-cavortin' round out dor" she said as
he brought up a table for little Miss'
lunch. "Ols nawf wind make him so
utlc I dunno if he gwine ter be safe."
Little Miss closed her tell-tale eyes.
A faint smile twitched the corners of
her rnouth. She had not intended go-
ing; out that day it was go cold and old
Charlie was so slow; but she saw that
Aunt Tempy hod guessed her thought
and was intriguing Mgalnst it. "Do you
think you can hold him in?" she asked.
Aunt Tempy drew down the corners
of her mouth so that they might not
twitch even when her mistress was not
looking. "Mebbe I kin if I give my feet
a good brace ngln de dashboard" she
said "but you-all'd be mighty he'pless
if he was onct to take de bit in his teef
an' bo tcarin oil Into de woods."
"It would be dreadful" little Miss de-
clared opening her eyes nnd laughing;
"but if old Charlie ever runs away and
kills me have it marked on my grave-
stone please that I died happy. Co
along and harness him. I want danger
and excitement. I want to feci ns if
the snails were after me full gallop!"
Aunt Tempy chuckled softly. "De-
pends if I ken catch him" she said
starting for the door. "It's a mighty
hohd mattah to catch a fresky hawse."
She was still chuckling when she
went downstairs. She felt that little
Miss was nn innocent child who was
easily circumvented. If she could only
manage old Charlie as easily and make
him show a little of the younthful fire
she had claimed for him she would
keep little Miss out driving for hours
nlong some sheltered pine-woods road
where the sun would beat down nnd
draw spicy resinous odors from every
leaf of undergrowth or twig of pine;
and little Miss would He back breathing
deep with joy until a gracious memory
of pink would steal Into her cheeks nut
if Chat lie's head drooped and his knees
were stiff she knew how it would be;
they would turn back almost before
they started and little Miss would look
pallid and weary and would say to-
morrow that driving tired her too
much. Aunt Tempy's mood changed
and she was angry at Charlie In ad-
vance. "Onfeeiln' ole beast!" she mut-
tered. "I don't nevah drap my haid an'
go creepln' roun' de house like n broken-winged
fly. I jes' lets on dat I gits
younger an' mo' fractious every day
cain't sca'sely hole myse'f down ter
walk."
Nevertheless bhe stirred up a hot
bran mash and went outside calling:
"Coop! coopt Coop Chawlie! C-o-o-pl
C-o-o-pl"
The old horse heard and as if in-
spired to please her pricked up his ears
nnd came charging toward the house
at a sort of stiff-kneed headlong gal-
lop. Auut Tempy set down the bran
bucket and patted her hands together
in delight. "Didn't I tell you how he
was cavortin'!" she cried as if still ad-
dressing little Miss. Suddenly her
hands dropped apart. The old horse
had stumbled over a furrow and had
fallen. For a moment Aunt Tempy
stood half-paralyzed with dread yet
hoping to sec him scramble to his feet
lie struggled a moment and then rolled
over on his side giving a shrill cry of
pain.
The tears sprang into Aunt Tempy's
eyes and rolled down her cheeks as she
run to him. He did not seem to her a
shirking servant now. He was her old
comrade in the care of little Miss. The
blood wns gushing from a deep wound
in his breast where a dry beheaded sap-
ling had pierced him as he fell. She
tore a great piece from her skirt nnd
pressed it into the wound and knelt
beside the old horse holding it in place
and sobbing. He looked at her as if
he knew that she was trying to help
him but kept giving long sharp groans
that tore their way into her heart.
"Po' Chawllel good Chawlie!" she
gasped between her sobs. "Po' Chaw-
lie good Chawlie I caint do nuflin' ino'
few you 'case if I don't hole dis whar
I got it you gwine to bleed ter def. Po'
Chawlie I wisht somebody'd come by
dat I could holler tol I wisht I could
git de doctah faw you. 1 nevah see
such a lonesome spot wheah nobody
come at de right timel An' you de
lies' old hawse dat evah lived you
was jes' a-cavortin' to please me and
now you have to He hyah wid on'y one
mis'erable ole nlggah to kyah faw
you " She broke into fresh sobbing
and her eyes were blurred with tears.
For the first time since the day when
little Miss fell out of old "Homer" Aunt
Tempy forgot that she was in the
house.
Little Miss had heard the cry and had
lain on her pillows with horror settling
upon her like a phy&ical weight until
she could scarcely breathe. She rang
her bell and rang it again and again
but Aunt Tempy did not come. The
anguish of the cry would not leave her
ears. The silence after it was suffocat-
ing. She pictured Aunt Tempy lying
dead outside in the direction of the
cry and sometimes she fancied a soft
step approaching her door as if the
same mysterious means of death were
coming close to her. She lay with
hands clenched and with wide-open
eyes flxed on the door. Whatever might
be coming she did not feel afraid; she
only wished that it might come quick-
ly because then perhaps she would
know what had happened In the yard.
And then lier sharpened senses caught
the sound of groaning. She clasped her
hands first in thankfulness and then
In the bitterest despair. Aunt Tempy
wns not dead; but they might He there
for days Aunt Tempy in the yard and
she In the house and not a soul would
know that anything was wrong.
It sometimes happens that when we
are suffering our utmost an unknown
strength Is gathering in us to put our
suffering by. Suddenly little Miss sat
up on her couch almost as if there had
been a hand to help her. She forgot
that she could not walk. She would see
what had happened in the yard. She
rose to her feet and found herself at
the window looking out.
Aunt Tempy was turned away from
the house and she did not see a white
face at the window nor hear her name
called again and again. She did not
see little Miss come out of the house
door all alone und walk across the un-
even furrowed yard as swift and pale
nnd noiseless as a ghost. She did not
know that anyone was near her until
there wns a touch upon her arm. Then
she started turned and her face
changed to gray. Her lips opened but
she did not say a word.
Little Miss' eyes were wide and dark
with excitement. "I couldn't stay still;
I thought you were killed; and then I
thought I heard you groaning and I
had to see. I began to walk without
knowing it I wts so afraid for you;
and then I saw it was old Charlie and 1
called to know why you didn't go for
help. We mustn't let old Charlie die.
You must go at once for help."
Aunt Tempy still stared up nt her.
"Why don't you go qulckl quick!"1
crtcd little Miss.
Then Aunt Tempy nodded toward
the cloth pressed In the wound nnd her
stnlncd hands holding it in place. "Go
way" uhc commanded honrscly "He
was jes a-cavortin' ter please me an'
he's killed hlssc'f. It nln't flttin' for
you ter see."
Little Miss hod scarcely realized be-
fore that nil the slain upon the ground
was blood. A shudder went over her
and she felt her new strength giving
way. "Quick!" she cried slnklngdown
beside Aunt Tempy. "I cnu hold that
and I can't walk any more. Go quick
for help."
"But. little Miss" Aunt Tempy was
scarcely able to form her word. Lit-
tle Miss reached out her thin hands
and though she had almost fallen to
the ground her eyes were imperious.
"Co quick!" she said.
Aunt Tempy rose clumsily to her feet
und moved away at flrst pausing often
to look back. She was half expecting to
see her little. MIssspread out white wings
nnd fly awny for It Kccmed as if she
must have come by some such means;
but before the old woman was a bit of
open sand and in it she saw the marks
of two small slippered feet. She
stopped and stored at the footprints
until she knew that thuy were real;
then she began to run.
"Little Miss has riz an' walkedl" she
shouted. "She's gwine ter git well fer
she has riz nn walked!"
The bay the beach and the wild
windswept lawn seemed full of voices
echoing her words. Far up the bench
toward the doctor's house she saw some
moving figures black ngnliiEt the white
shell of the road. "Come! Come!" she
shouted waving her arms ngninst the
fierce north wind. "Come! Come!"
The creaking gate of Ilyrd's Nest
slammed as she passed. Her torn
and blood-stained garments fluttered
around her; her turban uncoiled and
flew off uncovering her knobby griz-
zled head.
The doctor and the two men with
him caught sight of her and spurred
their horses to a gallop. "In Heaven's
name" the doctor cried ns he reined up
beside her "what's nil this blood?"
"Come!" she panted. "Ole Chawlie
has killed hlsse'f a-cavortin' ter please
me but little Miss has riz an walked.
He was jes' a-cavortin' ter please me
but little Miss"
The men saw that they could learn nc
more and spurred their horses again
leaving her behind. She plodded after
them half running half walking and
nodding her grizzled head. Slowly-
some of the words that little Miss had
said cwne back into her ears giving
a variation to her thoughts. She
stopped a moment and looked up Into
the infinite blue sky murmuring some-
thing over nnd over to herself. Then
as if remembering that there still was
room for fear she hurried on.
The doctor came out to meet her a
she labored through the gate. "That
old horse Is not fatally hurt" he said.
"You nnd little Miss stopped the losi
of blood so quick that 1 reckon we'll
pull him through; and as for little Miss
her fright has done whnt no doctor on
earth could have done for her. I'm
ready to promise you that she will bt
a well girl yet."
Aunt Tempy stared straight Into his
eyes making sure that he meant just
what he said and then she hurried ou.
He turned and followed her and heard
her murmuring to herself: "0 blessed
Lawd dis ole nlggah is paid for takln'
faithful kynh of her. She's mighty fond
of ole Chawlie but It was fer de love
of me she riz an' walked." N. Y. Out-

This is a story of an international
marriage that didn't take place. It
failed twice the first time for reasons
of the man in the affair or his family
und the second time for reasons of re-
venge on the part of the once young
woman now three times married. It
is safe to say that the German baron
will not dally long again with a Hlue
Grass belle.
It was half a century ago that Miss
Marie Goodloe one of the most beauti-
ful girls in that state world-famous for
three beautiful products girls horses
and whisky went abroad nnd formed
the acquaintance of liaron Von Norde
of Uerlin nephew of the late Prince
Uismarck. They became engaged and
everything seemed to be going smooth-
ly when the parents of the young man
announced that it could not be and
that the affair was broken off.
Miss Goodloe recovered- nnd in time
became successively Mrs. Shreeve Mrs.
Hanson and Mrs. Cuthbcrt Bullitt. The
flrst two husbands died nr.il divorce
separated her from the last one.
Perhaps the old flame lingered in the
heart of the baron and it certainly-
burned with n vengeance in the heart
of the lady. Last summer they met in
Chicago and again he asked her to be
his. The long-awaited hour had come.
At last the proud Kentuckian hnd u
chance to show the baron what sort of
a woman the blue grass country pro-
duces. She told the baron that she would
consider the matter and give him un
answer In person at her home on No-
vember 1. He came In advance of the
date and found Louisville society wide
open. She gave a reception in his hon-
or at Fountain Ferry park and for two
weeks showed him every attention.
On the flrst of the month he knelt
with becoming baronial grace at the
feet of the beauty and offered to share
his castle on the Ifhine with her.
With an nrisc-sir-knight air she bade
him regain his feet and when he was
sufficiently braced she remarked that
she preferred a cabin in Kentucky to
a castle in Germany. The baron quit
America and Mrs. Iiullitt gave out the
story. Thus was she aienged. X. Y.

(London Editor Authorized to Speak for
the Czar.)
to make his proposed international
peace conference at least something of
a success.
Although Russian officialdom from
the throne down to the rurnl police of-
fice has always denounced the press
as nn agency of evil yet It recognizes
Its power nnd the emperor has not
disdained to make a confidant of Wil-
liam T. Stead the London editor who
a few years ago achieved considerable
fame or notoriety for exposing the
vices of high Ilrltish society.
To Mr. Slcad the czar confided that
after studying nineteenth contury civ-
ilization he tins found it not entirely
good. He sees nations engaged in seiz-
ing or trying to seize all territory not
yet occupied by European powers and
looking at the results discovers them
to be unsatisfactory.
"For the nuthe races what does im-
perial expansion mean?" asks the
czar; and then answers his own ques-
tion as follows: "Too often opium al-
cohol and all manner of foul diseases;
a great gulf between the governed and
those who rule; and crushing taxation
upon the natives for the blessings of
this civilization. And for the nations
who seize it means a continual increase
of suspicion jealousy and rivalry; the
keeping up of fleets and armies in or-
der to take part in a scramble with the
world with the result that the army
und navy are swallowing up more and
more millions that should be used for
the welfare of the people and the ad-
vancement of the world."
Speaking of the social effects of this
state of affairs the czar is inclined to
think that "on tup are a few rich and
comfortable. Down below with an
ever-increasing pressure of taxes for
armament!- is the great mass of poor
people whose position Is not good.
There is an ever-increasing multitude
of those below with their brooding dis-
content ripening into socialism and de-
veloping into nil kinds of anarchy. We
have at the present time arrived at the
stage when our best manhood is in the
army. So much Is this the case that
the whole of the troops in European
countries cannot be mobilized without
dislocating the whole social fabric.
Moreover war has become so expensive
that no state enn stand the strain of
"THE FUTURE" HV UELLOC.
(Statue Symbolizing the Czar's Ideal of
Disarmament.)
protracted war without having to look
bankruptcy in the face and we are so
perfecting our modern weapons of de-
struction that no army can go into the
field without losing so large a propor-
tion of its olllcers that when the wur
Is over even if that army be victorious
the war will have inflicted irreparable
loss on the country. What with discon-
nection caused by mobilizing; what
with an empty exchequer; what with
decimated ranks of leading and govern-
ing men I see nothing before any na-
tion but a terrible heritage of rctolu-
tlonary anarchy."
The sermon which. Emperor Nicholas
has given to the world through Mr.
Stead Is an able one full of truth and
worthy of serious consideration.
Probably on account of the dignified
wording of the imperial message It has
been received well in all the capitals
of Europe but more especially In Paris
where the people are momentarily
"peace road." A statue symbolizing the
czar's Ideal of universal disarmament
Is bring displayed In copy all over the
French metropolis through photo-
graphs and plaster casts. Its title is
"The Future" and it is the creation of
Ilelloe. a rising sculptor. The statue rep-
resents a robust artisan transforming
the weapons of war Into the traditional
plowshare and pruning book the em-
blems of peace. Thousands of these
statuettes have been sold certainly a
reliable indication that France wants
peace.
In Great Britain the czar's latest ut-
terance was received with decent atten-
tion but no steps have been taken to
put a stop to the military and naval
preparations which have been prose-
cuted With great vigor ever since the
Fnshoda affair threatened to lead to
hostilities. Evidently the British gov
ernment has but little confidence in
the good faith of the Russian emperor;
and this lack of trust Is Justified by the
events of the past year In Northern
Asia where llussia has seized point
after point without consulting the
rights or interests of any other power.
England naturally expects that a pa-
thetic npprnl for disarmament should
be preceded by at least an outward
show of respect for the rights of oth-
ers; and being an able hand at political
hypocrisy herself she has learned to
distrust others even though they ap-
pear In sheep's clothing.
Germany has nothing but the kind-
est words for the disarmament Idea and
expects to be ably represented at the
peace congress in the interim how-
ever Emperor William will Increase
the standing army by the nddttlon of
40000 men and make most formidable
additions to the navy; probably to meet
recent additions to the Ilusslan army
und to neutralize the vast grants mode
for the building of Ilusslan ships.
The only so-called first-class power
which Is thoroughly and honestly in
sympathy with the pence proposition Is
Italy. Nothing will rescue this poor
country from revolution nnd nnurchy
but a reduction of taxation and not
until army and navy expenses are rcaled
down can the government hope for a
reasonably safe and protracted lease of
power Internal discontent will com-
pel Italy to forsake the triple nlMance
anil to curtail Its army expenditures;
and unless all other nations conclude
to disarm the kingdom Is destined In
the near future to become the leader
of second-class powers Instead of re-
maining the weakest of first-class pow-
ers. The only European nation which will
not be officially represented nt the
peace congress is Turkey. Abdul-Ham-Id
Is not n fool. He knows that itussia
has no love for the Ottoman realm nnd
so declines to put his head In the
spring trap. If he Is to be strangled ho
would prefer n bold fight '.o being
caught with n bit of trilling bait. He
probably lnbor3 under the Impression
and it is not an Injudicious one
either that disarmament in his ense
would mean annihilation. NVthlng in
fact can prolong Turkish rule except
the maintenance of n strong nrmy nnd
as long ns the present administration
reigns at Stamboul bearish peace pro-
posals will be received for whnt they
may be worth.
The people of the United States are
earnest advocates of universal disarma-

ment and our government will add
its voice to the czar's appenl for peace.
And so will all the small countries of
Europe Sweden Norway Denmark
Holland Belgium Spain and Portugal
whose safety depends upon treaties
made by and between their more pow-
erful neighbors.
But in spite of this sympathetic feel-
ing the St. Petersburg peace congress
is destined to be a failure simply be-
cause nut one of the great powers will
take the Initiative in the disarmament
movement. Had the czar been truly
honest in his pacific desires he would
have reduced his own nrmy lnstead.of
increasing it and centralizing it in lo-
calities where it must be viewed as a
menace by other nations.
Universal disarmament will not be
accomplished by a congress of diplo-
mats or doctrinaires. Hut it is bound
to be the logical outcome of the next
great war when to use the czar's words
"even the victor will have learned that
it has Inflicted irreparable loss on his
country."
Truth sometimes has to be pounded
into nations as well ns individuals nnd
in the matter of universal disarmament
the rod will prove a more effective
preacher thau imperial platitudes.

MUSCULAR EXERCISE.
It la Almolutely Xecexnrr to tlw
Proper and I'vcn Development
of llodjr nnd Ilrnlli.
That physical exercise is necessary
for the development nnd well being of
the body Is recognized by most persons
of intelligence but that it Is also neces-
sary for the proper development of the
brain will be news to many.
Dr. Luther Gulick an eminent scien-
tist and close observer makes the latter
point in an article entitled "Physical
Aspects of Muscular Exercise " in the
Popular Science Monthly.
He further says that In order that a
man's brain may be fully developed by
exercise his Instinct to play as a child
must be indulged in without restraint
To deprive a boy of liberty or oppor-
tunity to play is to deprive him of a
chance to become a sane or intelligent
man.
Dr. Gulick analyzes the play instinct
of man from infancy to tnrly manhood
He finds that during this period mar
lives over the life history of the race
Up to seven he merely plays games thai
Involve muscular activity but no skil'
or competition.
This represents the life of the most
primitive mnu. Front seven to twelv
o.ir boys play games involving competl
tlon but not much skill. This brings
them to about the period of the stone
age in human history. From 13 to 11
they indulge in highly organized sports
such as baseball and football. From 1?
to 22 they are devoted to the same
sports but with a passionate earnest-
ness devotion and skill which they
rarely suip&ss in the serious business of
after life.
In this stage they represent the
highest type of savage such as the
American Indiau or the South Sea is-

THEY WANT TO TELL
Thoso Gratoflil Womon Who Havs
Boon Holpod by Mrs. Pint-ham
Women who havo suffered severely
nnd been relieved of their ills by Mrs.
Pinkham's ndvica nnd medietas are
constantly urging publication of their
sta jments for tho benefit of other wo
men. Hera aro two such letters:
Mrs. Lizzie Ueverlv 253 Mcrrlman
St. Lowell Mass. writes:
" It affords mc great pleasure to tell
all suffering women of tbcbcncfitlhavo
received from taking Lydla E. Pink-
ham's VcgctableCompound. I can hard-
ly find words to express my gratitude for
what sho has dono forme. My troublo
was ulceration of the womb. I was un-
der the doctor's care. Upon examina-
tion ho found fifteen very largo ulcers
but ho failed to dome good. I took but-
cralbottlcsof Lydla E. Pinkham's Vsge-
tablo Compound also used the Sanntivo
Wash and am cured. Mrs. Pinkham's
medicine saved my life nnd I would
recommend It to nil suffering women."
Mrs. Asios TnounLEAr Ellcnburgh
Ctr. N. Y.. writes:
" I took cold nt tho tlmo my baby
was born causing mo to have milk
legs and was sick in bed for eight
weeks. Doctors did me no good. I
surely thought I would die. I was al-
so troubled with falling of tho womb.
I could not cut bad faint spells as
often as ten times a day. One day a
lady came to sec me and told mo of tho
benefit sho had derived from taking
Lyuin. E. Pinkham's medicine and ad-
vised me to try It I cMd so and bad
taken only half a bottle before I was
ablo to Bit in a clinlr. After taking
three bottles I could do ray own work.
I am now in perfect health."
COULDN'T FOOL HIM.
How n Colored Hoy Knew JosepQ
Jcffcraon Wn Not a Cir-
cus Itlilcr.
Joseph Jcffcrton and his ton Tom were
walking home from a duck hunt on hit plan-
tation in Louisiana one evening when one
of the colored boys asked Tom what lie did
in the show. Tom said:
"Go up John and ask himl he'll tell
you."
The colored boy went up to Mr. Jefferson
and said:
"Mr. Joe. will you be mad if I axed you
tomethin'?''
"No John what it It?" said Mr. Jeffer-
son. "What do you do in de thow?"
Mr. Jcfferxon replied that it would b
rather difficult for him to explain to him
what his particular lne of business was.
i Ueit Mld John "Jus J" swallow
knives?"
Mr. Jefferson told him he had no talent
whatever in that direction.
"Well yer son told me yed swallowed
knives and forks and fire and de Lor' knows
what all and I believe he was jest foolin'
me."
Mr. Jefferson agreed with him saying
that his son was quite capable of it.
"Well dcre's one thing certain" said
John "yer don act In de circus."
Mr. Jefferson asked him how he could be
sure of that. John burst into an immod-
erate fit of laughter.
"O no; no sirl Yer can't fool me on dat.
Ivc teen yer get on a horse yer ain't at
circut actor." Uoston Globe.
And It Wis Different.
"If you were not an heircst" he said at
n wind-up to his impassioned appeal if you
hadn't hundreds of thousands of dollars'
while I am poor the case would be different.
You would know then that I loved you fer
yourself alone."
"Haven't you seen the evening papers?"
she calmly asked.
"No darling."
"Better get one. My bank has butted
and I haven't got a dollar. However as you
love me for myself alone"
"As I was saying Mits French" he In
tcrrupted ns he rose up. "I called to tee your
father about that coalyard and will tres-
pass no further on your valuable time.
Thanks for your kindness good evening!"
