Cne as Good as Another.
A wife wanted her husband to sym-
pathize with her in a feminine quar-
rel. but he refused, saying: "I've lived
long enough to know that one woman
is as good as another, if not better."
"And I." retorted the exasperated
wlf?, "have lived long enough to
1 aru that one man Is Just as bad as
i. jot her, if not worse!"

Counsel (to witness)—How can you
prove that the prisoner stole six of

liny were my handkerchiefs that
were found on him. I.ook at them
for yourself. They arc exactly the
same as mine." "That proves noth-
iug i have some handkerchiefs like
luose." "That's quite possible." re
plied the witness, "several more of
mine are missing."
HAPPY DAY8.
When Friends Say "How Well You
Look."
What happy days are those wtien all
our friends say, "How well you look."
We can bring those days by a little
care in the selection of food Just as
this young man did.
"I had suffered from dyspepsia for
three years and last summer was so
bad 1 was unable to attend school," he
says: "I was very thin and my appe-
tite at times was poor, while again It
was craving. I was dizzy and my
food always used to ferment instead
of digesting Crossness, unhapplness
and nervousuess were very prominent
symptoms.
"Late In the summer 1 went to visit
a sister and there I saw and used
Grape Nuts. I had heard of this fa-
mous food before, but never was In-
terested enough to try it, for I never
knew how renlly good It was. But
when 1 came home we used Orape-
Nuts in our household all the time and
I soon began to note changes in my
health. I Improved steadily and am
now strong and well In every way
and am back at school able to get
my lessons with ease and pleasure
and can remember them too, for the
Improvement in my mental power Is
very noticeable and I get good marks
In my studies which always seemed
difficult before.
"I have no more of the bad symp-
toms given above but feel fine and
strong and happy, and it is mighty
pleasant to hear my friends say:
'How well you look.'" Name given

On the Beach.

In (raceful attitude!
The w.ijnills in tho light

And there upon the beach
1 felt my aenses reel!
Before the maid so fair
I knelt in knightly style.
Intending too, to tell
My burning love meanwhile!

But where I knelt to aue
A tiam-><hell sharp aroae,
And that I* why I failed
To gracefully propone!
But she was deft and true.
And quickly moved. Her fac%
Suffused with red, she llaped:
"Hero— la—a— softer place!"
Then Ion* upon the sand
We watched the billow® roll;
And for that wounded knee
1 claimed and got love's toll!
Did you ever collect any toll like
that ? It conies nigh, but our hired girl
says it beats washing dishes, all hol-

The Man.
The city man kicked the footrest
tinder his desk viciously and sighed.
"If 1 could only get out into the
country." he murmured, with visions
in his mind's eye of red leaves and
babbling brooks, chattering squirrels
and lowing cattle.
"If I could Just hire an old horse
hitched to a democrat wagon and go
nutting again, I'd be happy. 1 wonder
if the chipmonks still hide their nuts
in those hollow logs down In Day's
woods. 'Long about now they must be
rretty busy quarreling with the gray
squirrels and the crows! Ah, me!
What a slave I am!'
And the city man reached in his
pocket for a dyspepsia tablet and forc-
ed himself to the carklng grind again.
Out In the village park, where the
fall wind was whispering secrets to
the redolent woods, the country mer-
chant sat on a rustic bench and ca-
joled.
"The same old story, day after day.
I wisli 1 lived In the city where I could
see a new face occasionally and get
out of this rut.
"Wouldn't I like to go Into Opolls
and spend about two weeks seeing the
sights, instead of ripping off calico
and denims. I'd be happy there! My,
but this Is a hard life!" and the busi-
ness man sauntered over to the store
with ennui in his gait.
This Is the way of the world.
Wonder why men can't enjoy them-
selves where they are. without being
miserable because they are not some-
where else?

Bringing the Cows.

Hut morning or eve. Mirandy allows.
There's no time quite like when Towse
brings the cows.
Th«* great sun ha? set In glorified red
And mock-birds have put their young

The owl's faint halloo frights Dame

Then Towse comes a yelp behind the bo-

The brlndle cow leads with bell loudly

The farmer shouts. "Polgh!" to call the

That bellow and squeak o'er fruit of

The chickens at roost on building and

Here's plenty and peace, and still some

And when that Is gone there's always
some more.

Dying of Shame.
There Is a saying that a nightin-
gale dies of shame If another bird
sings better. The nightingale Is •
foolish bird. At every band we find
men who outdo us, yet we fulter not.
Instead of dying, we imbibe inspira-
tion and strive to equal their songs.
Now. there was that book agent that
called yesterday. He had a song as
long as a Chinese opera and a mas-
terpiece in business rhapsody. In-
stead of depressing us, he inspired us
to thrash him. Instead of casting us
down, we cast him out and set the dog
onto him. Do not ho lugubrious over
the songs of others. They spur a
man to action and exercise. Even the
song of the mule has an uplifting en-
thusiasm that man might well emu-
late! Silly nightingale to die of
shame because some other bird sang

Woman's Best Characteristics.
The readers of one of the French
newspapers were set to enumerate rbe
qualities which their ideal woman
should possess. Placed, aa they say-
In examinations, "In order of merit,"
tnese characteristics are, first, econo-
my; second, fidelity and modesty;
third, kindliness; fourth, maternal
love; fifth, cleanliness and patience.
Objected to Tombstone Paving.
Tombstones are not ao Infrequently
employed In different parts of Not-
tinghamshire, Derbyshire, Lincoln-
shire and I^>ice.stershlre, Kngland. for
the purpose of paving; and a year or
so bark the Inhabitants of the Vale
of Belvolr raised a vehement protest
against their being uied for a path-
way leading to the parish church.
Influence of Transportation.
A recent remarkable Illustration of
the influence of railway transporta-
tion on commerce Is given by the
opening of the western section of the
Trausslberlan railway. There were
only 140 dairies in Siberia iu 18SS.
which rroduced for export about
6.000.000 pounds of butter. In 1902
there-were 2,500 dairies, producing up-
ward of 90,000,000 pounds.

An Old-Time Legend.
When King Edward II. of Kngland
was among his torturers who hurried
him to and fro that no man should
know where he was they set him down
upon a bank and the more to disguise
his face shaved him and washed hltn
with cold water from a ditch. The
king said, "Well, yet will I have wartu
water for my beard," and so shed
abundance of tears.
Woman'* Fire Brigade.
The town of Armtdale, New South
Wales, hus a woman's lire brigade
that has earned distinction in numer-
ous encounters with the flames. A
dozen or more young women form the
brigade, electing one of their number
as captain. They drill with the town
brigade appliances and are capable of
rendering assistance to the male Are
men when necessary. They are ex
pert in rescuing work with the life
line and with the jumping sheet.
Has He Found It?
Polk, Ark., Nov 9.—A remedy that
will absolutely cure Rheumatism has
been discovered by Mr. George Hlland
of this place. Mr. Hlland Is satisfied
that the remedy he has used is a sure
cure, for It cured him of a very seri-
ous case of Acute Rheumatism when
he was so bad that he could not move.
This Is what he says:
"I was troubled with w hat Is called
Acute Rheumatism in 1900. I was in
such shape that I could not move with-
out help. I was treated by a physician,
who helped me some, but I was still in
great pain when my wife saw Dodd's
Kidney Pills advertised as a cure for
Rheumatism. She insisted on my try-
ing them, am! I felt better after taking
'he first box. I continued and now 1
am well ami able to work all the time
I have found Dodd's Kidney Pill* to be
Just what they are claimed to be. a
perfect cure for Rheumatism."
Mr. Hlland's very positive statement
r.eems to settle all doubt as to whether
or not Rheumatism can be cured.
You can't hod any fault with the
friend who listens when it is your
dav to kick.
Why Hood Left Nashville.
1 An old pleasantry worth repeating
' relates to the experience of (ten
Hood, who in great haste left Nash-
ville on one side of the city Just as
the Federal troops were entering
upon the other. His colored servant
being captured, was asked why Gen.
Hood left in such a hurry. "Ah." he
said, "Massa Hood didn't think he
could do lilssclf just'ee In this city."—

the following letter from 3753 Indiana avenue. Hat Six, Chicago, IIL,
Peruna Medicine Co., Columbus, Ohio.
Qcntlcmen—"Last summer I caught a cold which seemed lo set*
tie In my kidneys and affected them badly. I tried a couple ot kid•
ney remedies largely advertised, but they did not help me any. On0
of my foremen told me of the great help he had received In using
Peruna In a similar case, and I at once procured some.
"It was Indeed a blessing to me, as I am on my feet a large part ot
the day, and trouble such as I had affected me seriously, hut lour
bottles of Peruna cured me entirely and I would not be without Ir for
three months salary."—JOHN T. SHEAHAN.

Catarrhal inflammation of the mucous
lining of the kidneys, also called "Hright's
disease," may be either acute or chronic.
The acute form produces sytnptomsof such
prominence that the serious nature of the
disease is at once suspected, but the chronic
variety may come on so gradually and o-
sidiously that its presence is not suspected
until after it has fastened itself thorcughly
upon its victim.
At the appearance of the first symptom
Peruna should be taken. This remedy
strikes it oncc at the very root ol ibe dis-
ease.

Ruined Dr. Dill's HeaSfh.
Bit will treat you the same way. You can not be constipated and
remain strong and well. Indigestion and dyspepsia are its symptoms.
If you belch you have constipation. Dr. Dill first got constipation, then
he lost his appetite, he became weak and sick, his kidneys went back
II on him and he had to give up liis practice.
! Mull's Grape Tonic Cured Him
|| just as it will cure you. Constipation is the rotting of undigested food in the stomach.
|| A physic won't curc. It makes it worse. Pills, Castor-oil, Salts and other such treat-
■J nients are no good in a case like this. Dr. Dill tried them all. Mull's Grape Tonic
|| will not pliysic a well man. Its action on a constipated person is quick and permanent.

This is not the only doctor who recommends this great cnrc. Mull's Orape Tonic is
pleasant to take. It will cleanse the entire system of all disease. It will make strong muscles
and solid flesh because it makes pure rich blood. If it fails, you can have your money back.
The grape is the greatest flesh-builder known. Mull's Grape Tonic is in no way like cathartics
and pills. Most people who are run down are sufferers from oonstipatiou. Cud-liver oil won't
help them because it increases the constipation habit. Mull's Grape Tonic will jwsitively cure.
