Her Method of Indorsement.
A bride s mother presented her
with a check on Christmas day. With
a feeling of the utmost importance
she took it down to the hank in which
her husband had opened an account
for her. The cashier took the check,
then handed it back politely, saying:
‘Will you please Indorse it, ma-
dam?”
“Indorse it?” repeated the bride,
puzzled.
Yes, across the back, you know,"
replied the man, too busy to notice
her bewilderment.
The bride carried the check to a
desk, laid it face downward, and nib-
bled the end of a pen thoughtfully.
Then inspiration came. Dipping the
peri, she wrote triumphantly across
the back: “For Fanny, from Mother,

His Practical Idea.
A benevolent old man who lived on
his farm In Iowa never refused shel
ter to any who might ask it of him,
His many friends remonstrated with
him about this characteristic, know-
ing that many unscrupulous hoboes
would avail themselves of the oppor-
tunity, and that there was great dan-
ger of the old man being robbed. To
these remonstrances the old man re-
plied that he believed in "practical
Christianity."
“But,” said one of his friends, “this
seems very impractical. Suppose one
of these men took it into his head to
rob you one night?”
“My dear young friend,” was the re-
ply, “I bid all enter in the name of
God. hut 1 prove my belief in practi-
cal Christianity by locking up their
pants during the night.”

Road to Wellvllle," in pkgs. All

Dr. Thomas C. Ely, of Philadelphia,
In an article on neurasthenia in the
Journal of the American Medical asso-
ciation, lays much stress on hurry and
worry as leading causes of nervous ex-
haustion. He has this to say:
“Learn to hurry little and worry net
at all. An illustration consists in the
fatigue in the hurry to catch a train,
which is out of all proportion to the
physical effort expended. Individuals
are too much like the modern tele-
phone sign, ‘always on duty.’ For
hurried and worried business or hur-
ried and worried pleasure, hurry alone
or worry alone are poisonous to the
normal functions of the nerve system
But the American combination of wor-
ried hurry is deadly. Each brings into
action the worst features of the other.”
Of course every one who stops to
think will agree with the author, but
how few are able to follow his good
advice? Worry Is only the extra work,
the Increased wear and tear for which
we are never paid. It always hinders
but never wins. It means Incapacity
for anticipated efforts, and yet we con-
stantly blame circumstances rather
than our individual selves. The man
who is always ready and takes time
to be sure before he starts never need
hurry or worry. How few can do this
consistently! Then comes the break-
down which Is so often charged to
mere overwork. In 99 cases In a hun-
dred it Is the worry, always useless,
that eventually weakens and kills.
The gloomy foreboding not only saps
the energy of all valiant endeavor to
conquer difficulties, but cheats us In
the end by proving the old adage, that
“ths expected never happens.” If we
compare notes we can easily prov^ the
comforting truth of the saying. If
the disconsolate man who for years
feared the death of his invalid wife
could have known she would survive
him for more than a quarter of a cen-
tury how much unnecessary .mental
suffering would have been spared him!
The absolute utility of worry is the
lesson of It all. The future, as a rule
is more often a surprise and delight
than a disappointment and discipline.
We grieve when we look ahead and
smile when we look back. But with
most people experience counts for
nothing when new obstacles appear.
It Is the old story th.it the last diffi-
culty will be Insurmountable. But each
in his turn soon learns that he cannot
control events, disturb the relations of
cause and effect or alter the immuta-
ble laws of destiny, no matter how
strongly he may yearn to do so. The
only reasonable way to adjust matters
Is to wait until the time comes for the
solution of the dreaded problem.
Mostly, also, we lack the courage,
patience, good Judgment and prepared-
ness to meet the Issues as they arise.
We waste thought, »train nerve apd
banish sleep in anticipation of th«L
which never transpires. “Don t shoot
until they come out” combines lots of
sound wisdom with no end of good
philosophy.
A main difficulty Is In striving to do
too much and In overtaxing our capaci-
ties. The strong, steady. Belf reliant
man has no misgivings, but the weak
one mistrusts every thing, himself In-
cluded. He contrives against odds and
worries and hurries, while others eat.
sleep and are merry.
But this is going to he tho way with
the average nervous American. It was
tm, In fact, who Invented neurasthenia.
The disease has become a habit with
him. and worry, hurry, restlessness
and Irritability are Its leading features.
He takes his business home with him,
rats with It. sleeps with It. dreams
w ith It. It Is his shadow at .the fire-
side nnd table: It blurs all his pleas-
ure*. stands between him and Ills fam-
ily. all because he must borrow trouble
and mortgage happiness, health and
life In the balance.
Boy in Misery 12 Years—Eczema In
Rough Scales, Itching and In-
flamed—Cured by Cutlcura.
"I wish to Inform you that your
wonderful Cutlcura has put a stop to
twelve years of misery I passed with
my son. As an Infant I noticed on
his body a red spot and treated same
with different remedies for about five
years, but when the spot began tc
get larger I put him under the cars
of doctors. Under their treatment the
disease spread to four different parts
of his body. The longer the doctors
treated him the worse It became. Dur-
ing the day it would get rough and
form like scales. At night It would
be cracked, Inflamed, and badly swol
len, with terrible burning and itch*
lng. When I think of his suffering,
It nearly breaks my heart His
screams could be heard downstairs
The suffering of my son made ma
full of misery. I had no ambition to
work, to eat, nor could I sleep.
One doctor told me that my son’s
eczema was Incurable, and gave it up
for a bad job. One evening I saw ao
article in the paper about the wonder-
ful Cutlcura and decided to give it a
trial. I tell you that Cutlcura Ointment
s worth its weight in gold, and when
I had used the first box of Ointment
there was a great improvement, and
by the time I had used the second set
of Cutlcura Soap, Cutlcura Olnt
ment, and putlcura Resolvent, my
child was cured. He is now twelvs
years old, and his skin Is ss fine
and smooth as silk. Michael Stein-

Stats Prison Makes Money. ,
The Connecticut state prlBon for
the fiscal year ended September 30,
1906. established a new record of rev-
enues. Earnings from productive la-
bor aggregated $57,411, while receipts
from various other sources swelled
the total Income to $61,015. This
showing, representing nearly 74 per
cent, of the operating expenses of the
Institution, surpasses the Income ex-
hibit of any previous year, and en-
abled the prison management, despite
the high cost of supplies, to limit to
$22,861 its drafts upon the state treas-
ury. __
NERVOUS HEADACHES
Dr. Williams’ Pink Pills Will Curs
Most Cases and Should Interest
/ Every Sufferer.
Nobody who has not endured the
suffering caused by nervous head-
ache can realize the awful agony of
Its victims. Worst of all, the ordin-
ary treatment cannot be relied upon
to cure nor even to give relief. Some
doctors will say that if a person is
subject to these headaches there is
nothing that can be done to prevent
their recurrence.
Nervous headaches, as well as neu-
ralgia, are caused by lack of nutrition
—the nerves are starved. The only
way to feed the nerves is through the
blood and it is In this way that Dr.
Williams’ Pink Pills have accom-
plished bo many remarkable cures.
Mrs. Addle Merrill, of 39 Union
Street, Auburn, Me., says: "For
years I suffered from nervous head-
aches, which would come on me every
five or six weeks and continue for
several days. The pain was so severe
that I would be objlged to go to bed
for three or four days each time. It
was particularly intense over my right
eye. I tried medicines but got no re-
lief. I had no appetite and when
the headacho passed away 1 felt as if
I had been sick for a month. My
blood was thin and I was pale, weak
and reduced In weight
•T read about Dr. Williams’ Pink
Pills In a paper and decided to try
them. I first noticed that they be-
gan to give me an appetite and I
commenced to gain in weight and
color. My headaches stoppod and
have not returned and I have never
felt so well ss 1 do now.”
Dr. Williams’ Pink Pills are sold
by all druggists or sent, postpaid, on
receipt of price, 50 cents per box, six
boxes $2.50, by tho Dr. Williams Medl-
cine Company, Schenectady, N. Y.
