He Did His Best
A young lady at a summer hotel
asked an artist friend, who was spend-
ing his vacation there, if he would
mind doing a small favor for her.
“Certainly not." he said eagerly,
“what is it?’’
“Thank you so much,” she exclaimed
gratefully. “I wish you would stop at
Mrs. Gannon’s little shop and get three
large bone buttons, the kind with two
small holes in them. They’re for my
new bathing suit, you know. Just tell
her who I am. and it will be all right.
You needn't pay for them.”
Now, the artist was a bachelor, and
had never bought anvthmg but collar
buttons before. So on the way to the
store he kept repeating the instruc-
tions that he had received. Eager to
relieve his mind, he rushed up to
Mrs. Gannon and reeled off this sur-
prising speech: “I want three hone
buttons for a small bathing suit with
two large holes in it. Just tod me
who I am and it will be all right.”
NEXT WORLD’S FAIR.
NEW ZEALAND WILL HAVE IN-
TERNATIONAL EXPOSITION.
Never Disappoints.
“Many extensively advertised remt
dies are failures when put to the test.
Hunt’s Lightning Oil is an exception.
Confidence in it is never misplaced—
disappointment never follows its use.
It is surely the grandest emergency
remedy now obtainable. For cuts,
burns, sprains, aches and pains, I
know no equal.”

Doniphan, Mo.

If you want to be interested, visit a
family where there is but one baby,
and two or three old maid aunts. Sis-
ters always love each other in a way
to attract admiration, and an old maid
loves her sister’s baby almost as much
as the mother. And away down deep
in her heart an old maid thinks the
baby loves her as much as it loves its
mother. If we could have our wish,
we would wish to be a baby in a fam-
ily where there are two or three old
maid aunts; then we would receive
attention.

READ AND YOU WILL LEARN
That the leading medical writers and
teachers of all the several schools of
practice endorse and recommend, in the
strongest terms possible, each and every
ingredient entering into the composition
of Dr. Pierce’s Golden Medical Discovery
for the cure of weak stomach, dyspepsia,
catarrh of stomach, "liver complaint,”
torpid liver, or biliousness, chronic bowel
affections, and all catarrhal diseases of
whatever region, name or nature. It. is
also a specific remedy for all such chronic
or long standing cases of catarrhal affec-
tions and their resultants, as bronchial,
throat and lung diseasos (except consump-
tion) accompanied with severe coughs. It
is not so good for acute colds and coughs,
but for lingering, or chronic cases it is
especially efficacious in producing per-
fect cures. It contains Black Cherry bark.
Golden Seal root, Bloodroot, Stone root.
Mandrake root and Queen’s root—all or
which are highly praised as remedies for
all the above mentioned affections by such
eminent medical writers and teachers as
Prof. Bartholow, of Jefferson Med. Col-
lege; Prof. Hare, of the Univ. of Pa.;
Prof. Finley Ellingwood, M. D., of Ben-
nett Med. College, Chicago; Prof. John
King, M. D.. late of Cincinnati; Prof.
John M. Scudder, M. D.. late of Cincin-
nati; Prof. Edwin M. Hale, M. D., of
Hahnemann Med. College. Chicago, and
scores of others equally eminent in their
several schools of practice.
The "Golden Medical Discovery ” is the
only medicine put up for sale through
druggists for like purposes, that Hus any
such professional endorsement -worth
more than any number of ordinary testi-
monials. Open publicity of its formula
on the bottle wrapper is the best possible
guaranty of its merits. A glance at this
published formula will show that "Golden
Medical Discovery” contains no poison-
ous or harmful agents and no alcohol—
chemically pure, triple-refined glycerine
being used instead. Glycerine is entirely
unobjectionable and besides is a most
useful ingredient in the. cure of all stom-
ach as well as bronchial, throat and lung
affections. There is the highest medical
authority for its use in all such cases.
The "Discovery ” is a concentrated glyc-
eric extract of native, medicinal roots
and is safe, and reliable.

The less interesting a man's experi-
ences have been the more like y he is
to tell the story of his life.
The next great world’s fair is to be
given by the colony of New Zealand,
in the South Pacific Islands of that
name, the romantic home of the an-
cient Maoris, which numbers among
its attractions for the tourist many
relics of that ancient people, with
their descendants still living accord-
ing to their olu-time customs. The
wonderful scenery of the picturesque
inland, with its bursting geysers, Its
forests and mountains filled with
game for the sportsman, add an at-
traction to the site of the fair which
will tempt many a visitor from far-
off lands to make the trip to New
Zealand during the progress of the ex-
position.
The fair is to be held in Hagley
park, Christchurch, Canterbury, be-
ginning in November next and continu-
ing to some date in April, 1907. This
Is the summer season In New Zealand,
the time of year when her natural at-
tractions are at their best. All nations
of the wofld have been Invited to ex-
hibit at the fair. The object of the ex-
hibition Is educational, the colonists de-
siring to show to the world the re-
sources and possibilities of the colony
as one of the world’s food-producing
factors; to demonstrate its vast min-
eral resources and to draw attention
to picturesque and unrivaled scenery,
its thermal wonders and the exceptional
opportunities offered to sportsmen. A
further object is to bring to Hie no-
tice of the more industrial nations of
the world the great field offered by
New Zealand as an outlet for enter-
prise and for the use and consumption
of all manner of up-to-date appliances
and manufactures.
The imports of New Zealand in 1903,
at least three-fourths of which are
manufactured goods, amounted in value
to $GG,000,000. Of course, Great Britain,
the home country, furnished the great
bulk of this trade. The commonwealth
of Australasia was next in the list and
following her came the United States,
which furnished goods to the value of
$8,000,000. When it is considered that
this great expenditure for foreign sup-
plies is made for the use of a colony
with a population of but 850,000 per-
sons it can be readily seen what a rare
opportunity is offered for exploiting
New Zealand with up-to-date manufac-
tures. Exporters of every land on the
face of the globe will be deeply inter-
ested in investigating the trade possi-
bilities of the country and it is con-
fidently anticipated that the fair will be
a success financially as well as in bring-
ing to the attention of the world the ad-
vantages possessed by the island as a
trade center for the industrial world.
Special arrangements are being made
with the steamship companies trading
to New Zealand under which exhibitors
will obtain special rates of freight on
exhibits. The exhibition buildings will
be constituted a bonded warehouse, and
while all goods sold will be charged the
regular rate of duty, those to be returned
to other lands will be reshipped free
of duty. The ordinary charge for space
will be from two shillings (50 cents) a
square foot, the minimum charge being
$5.25, 25 per cent, payable on applica-
tion, 25 per cent, on allotment and the
balance one month before the opening
of the fair.
The ordinary idea of a harem prob-
ably accords little with the picture of
life behind the cafessesor screens cover-
ing the windows of the seraglio present-
ed by Mrs. L. Parks-Richards in a lec-
ture at the Waldorf-Astoria Wednesday
morning. In the first place, Mrs. Rich-
ards stated that there was as a rule only
one wife in the harem.
“Polygamy is practically nonexistent
among the Turks,” said Mrs. Richards.
“The law allows a man four wives, but
makes it so difficult for him to take a
second one by requiring him to provide
for her exactly as he did for the first
that it is seldom done. Besides, among
the upper classes polygamy Is not con-
sidered good form. I heard of half a
dozen Turks who had two wives while
I was In Constantinople, and of one who
had four, but these are rare exceptions.
“The crowd of women found In a Turk-
ish harem is made up of servants, slaves
and female dependents. No Turk ever
lets a relative suffer while he has a roof
over his head and every great house has
numbers of such dependents, both male
and female.”
Neitner Is the life of the harem dull,
according to Mrs. Richards. No man
ever enters it except the husband, son,
father or brother of the mistress, hut
she may receive women friends and go
to see them.
The relation of the inmates of the
harem to one another Mrs. Richards
found very beautiful. Children were
great pets, she said, and servants and
slaves were treated with great consid-
eration. Slaves are often treated like
members of the family, may marry a
son of the house and are much sought
In marriage by men for the purpose of
avoiding complications with mothers-
in-law.
“The sultan's harem,” said Mrs. Rich-
ards, “Is composed entirely of slaves,
as the law forbids members of the im-
perial family from marrying into the
great houses of the realm, lest the lat-
ter be made too powerful.”
The Turkish woman, Mrs. Richards
found, is quite satisfied with her lot,
while that of the European woman is re-
garded with horror by the most enlight-
ened Turks.
“It is true,” said a Turkish official of
high rank and much culture, “that we
marry our daughters to men whom they
never see until their wedding day, but
we do not have the awful European
spectacle of angling for men. We do not
bring them into the open market and
sell them to the highest bidder.”
WAS WEAK AND DIZZY
Dr. Williams’ Pink Pills Restored tha
Patient to Perfect Health
And Strength.
Mrs. Mary Gngner, of No. 576 South
Summer street, Holyoke, Mnss., has
passed through an experience which
proves that some of the greatest bless-
ings of life may lie within easy reach
and yet be found only by mere chance.
A few years ago while she was employed
in tlie mills she was suddenly seized
with dizziness and grent weakness. “ I
was so weak at times,” she says, “that
I could hardly stand, and my head be-
came so dizzy that it seemed as if the
floor was moving around.
“ My condition at last became so bad
that I was obliged to give up work in tho
mill, and later till I became so feebly
that I could not even attend to me
household duties. After the slightest
exertion I had to lie down and rest until
I regained strength.
“A friend who had used Dr.Williams
Pink Pills for Palo People urged me to
try them. I bought a box and tsgan to
take them. The benefit was so positive
and so quickly evident that I continued
to use the pills until I had taken alto-
gether six boxes. By that time I was
entirely cured, and for two years I have
had no return of my trouble. I am now
in the best of health and able to attend
to all my duties. I am glad to acknowl-
edge the benefit I received and I hope
that my statement may bo the moans of
inducing others who may suffer in this
way to try this wonderful medicine.”
The secret of the power of Dr. Wil-
liams’ Pink Pills in cases of debility,
such as Mrs. Gagner’s lies in the fact
; that they make new blood, and every or-
gan anil even every tiny nerve in the
body feels the stir of a new tide of
StDr.f\Villiams’ Pink Pills are sold by all
druggists or will he sent, postpaid, on
receipt of price, 50 cents per box, six
boxes for $2.50, by the Dr. Williams;

A woman never feels a day older
than she thinks she looks.
She Told Him So
A physician took it into his head to
go hunting, says the Boston Herald,
and started out bright and early on a
beautiful October morning, fully armed
for game.
About 4 o’clock in the afternoon he
[ returned, tired out and empty handed,
telling his wife he hadn’t killed a
thing, whereupon she remarked, tri-
umphantly:
‘T told you so,” adding in the next
breath: “If you had stayed at home
and attended to your legitimate busi-
ness you might have been more suc-
cessful.” '
PLANTS MADE BY SPIRALS.
Original Nebula Supposed to Have
Been Formed by Influence
of the Sun.
This world is given us as a prize for
the man in earnest.—Robertson.
Calculating Man.
"I don’t like young Dr. Oprates,” re-
marked the timid young thing.
“No? And why?”
"The other evening he called, and by
and by he squeezed my hand and said
something sentimental, and just as I
was trying to look demure and blush 1
discovered that he had his finger on
my pulse to see whether or not I was
really affected by his attentions
Judge.
How were the planets made? Prof.
R. G. Moulton, of the University of
Chicago, has another alternative to La
Place’s theory of the formation ot' the
planetary systems. It is that the
planets and their satellites have been
formed around primitive nuclei of con-
siderable dimensions existing in spiral
nebulae probably similar to those
which Prof. Keeler showed to be many
times more numerous than all the neb-
ulae of all other types. The growth
of each necleus was caused by the
gradual accretion of smaller masses,
and the method of this growth which
is suggested accounts for all the dif-
ferent types of bodies now found in
the solar system, and for tlieir pres-
ent motions and velocities on dynam-
ical principles. The original spiral
nebula is supposed to have been
formed by the near approach ot' an-
other star to the body which is now
our sun. This exterior attraction set
up tides in the solar matter, and, be-
ing continued, actually caused im-
mense masses to be ejected and drawn
out in the spiral form. On this as-
sumption the spiral would emerge from
the central nucleus in two directions,
on opposite sides, and this is the form
generally shown in photographs of
such nebulae
Look around the world today and
see what some of the men who have
long passed the “dead line ’ are doing,
and what they have accomplished.
Look at the young old military leaders
in little Japan who conquered great
Russia. Oyama was twenty years past
this fatal line when he won his great
victories, and all his corps command-
ers were past fifty. The Marquis Ito,
the grand old man of japan, her great-
est statesman, and the one whik has
done more than any other to hake
japan what it is today, is still active
in the services of his country.
It is foolish to fix an age at which
men become comparatively useless.
Some are young at seventy, others ara
old at thirty-live.
