Ashamed of Jesus!-that dear Friend,
On whom my hopes of life depend;
MOI when blush be this my shame
1hnf | no moro rpNpre his name.

Next / speak OF the family sorrows. II
trouble come 10 one member Of the family, all
feel IL. IL is the custom, after the body is
lowered into the grave, for all the relatives to
come TO the verge of the grave and look down
into it, First those nearest the departed come,
then those next of kin, until they have all looked
into the grave So, when trouble and grief go
down through the heart of one n ember
Of the family, they go down rough
them all The sadness of one is the sadness
Of all. A company OF persons loln
hands around an electric battery; the
two persons at the ends of the line touch the
battery. and all the circle feels the shock Thus,
by reason of the iilial, maternal, and patcrnal
relations of life, we stand so close together that
when trouble sets its battery, all feel the thrill
of distress. In the great Christian family, the
sorrow of one ought to be the sorrow of all is
one prosecuted? All are prosecuted. Does one
suffer loss? We all suffer loss. Is one be.
reayCd? We arc all bercaved.

Pity a Poor Henpecked King-The King
of Annam's Trials.
An Oriental dispatch casually men,
tons the fact that the king OF AMMAN
has at present 579 wives. This leads
an analytical Jacques of the Mime
apolis Tribune to moralize as follows:
Consider for moment what this
statement entails. CHANGING back a
few years in the life OF the king it is
evident that at one time, not long
past Annam's ruler must have had
$40 sweethearts II he bad visited
each one whole evening it would
have been impossible to have gone
through the list in "a year. Now, no
self-respecting girl will be satisfied
with lover who calls once year.
Twice q week is a good average. On
this basis let US do little figuring.
The King OF AMMAN visited SIS girls
twice week. That would be /, 1913
visits a week, or counting Sundays,
100 visits a night. To any one who
knows how hard it is TO tear himself
away from the front gate under the
circumstances ii which AMMAN must
have found himself the terrible wear
on the Kings constitution is evident
at the glance. Besides keeping on
the Jump to cover los assignments
there were on each evening los cases
of mental anguish ocoasioned by
tearing -himself-away" process
Suppose next that AMMAN sale. to
each girl: Il love you dearest. You
are the loveliest woman in the world
Suppose il you can, that he said this
only. That is twelve words TO each
woman, 1880 words to each evening
That is over a column and half OF
minion type, such as this paper is
printed in.
Again, il each OF the $40 papas kept
bulldogs as all self-respecting papas
are supposed by the newspaper para
graphers to do, there were l65 bull.
dogs per night to be guarded against.
But the worst is not yet AMMAN has
b79 mothers-in-law. Every spring he
has instead OF one, $40 bills for East.

bills for sealskin.

Many such clever sayings are cred
tied to the martyred President Lin
coin. Two of his friends were dis
cussing the appearance of public men,
particularly the length OF their legs.
when Lincoln, happening just then to
enter the room, was asked what he
thought the proper and proportionate
length mans legs should he, when
he replied: Really. I've never given
the subject any thought but it strikes
me they ought to be just long enough
TO reach from his body to the
ground"
1t was an Irishman that called on n
singing teacher to inquire his terms.
Il charge 90 for the first lesson, but
only 81 each for as many as you want
afterward." "Oh, bother the first
lesson, then," said Patrick; "let us
begin at once with the second F."
Another of his countrymen exhibit
ed an equal comprehension of economic
possibilities when he went to have his
banns Of marriage proclaimed, In
answer to his inquiry rs to cost, the
registrar told him that the fee for be-

lings; for two proclamations it was )
shillings and for three times it was

Like the rest OF mankind, military

HIS YOUNG "Missus."
Probably He Was Glad to Sec Her Under
Any circumstances.


A New York Herald reporter was
taking "A modest chop" in a Sixth
avenue restaurant when two young
women came in and sat near him
students OF the Art league, as soon
TRANSFERRED from their conversation.
The head waiter, an aged colored
man, had already attracted the notice
of the reporter, and was now cycling
the young women with peculiar inter-
est Soon he made an errand to rear
range something ut their table.
Excuse me, " he said, in his soft
old voice I've been hoping you'd ex-
cuse me since the first night you came
in II | asked you what part OF the
south you came from"
"Me?" said the girl pleasantly, Il
come from Tennessee. ! suppose you
knew | was southern by the way
talk"
'Yes'm; yes'm," the old man ans
wered hastily, taking the plates from
the waiter in charge a little nurriedly.
my young missus she marry down
in Tennessee. She was one OBJ de
Kentucky 1rentlces.
He stopped abruptly and looked at
the girl who was staring at him.
She marry one OBJ d, Tennessee Sim
Glars" he added.
why, that was my mother"
',She was my young missus," said
the old man.
The girl held out her hand to him.
why, my mother always loved her
old people so much" she said the
tears springing to her eyes. "She al
ways wanted to know what became OF
all of them after the war. but she new
or could learn much. Now" she
s opped. The old-time slave was
tr, milling all over.
Please tell--please tell her that
Ike, Yellow Ike alluz-"
The girl was looking at him stead
tasty through mist OF tears. She's
dead!n she said.
The old man leaned on a chair for a
moment; then the habits of lifetime
came to his aid; he took a dish from
the waiter as he came up, although
his hands still shook little.
IN wait on these ladies'" he said,
and then gave some directions about
another part OF the room. He caught
the proprietor's eye fixed reprovingly
on him; but he meantto wait on those
ladies If it cost him his place.
Pretty soon he brought in some dish
that had not been ordered.
There is nothing here fit for you.
Missy he said in I'm undertonei lis
you named for your map" The girl
nodded.
Il thought l knowed you by the
favor" he continued. and with an at
tempt at smile he took himself off to
Il little distance, and stood waiting
their call.
AS the reporter was putting on his
coat he heard the Southern girl say.
II suppose he would rather never have
seen me at all, than to see me here
like this But the reporter believed
that she was wrong in that opinion.

Stick To III


Sometimes you may have to wait.
The troubles that have been years
in gathering can't always be cleared
away in a day. For all the diseases
and disorders peculiar to woman
hood, DR.. Pieroe's Favorite Pre-
scription is the surest and speediest
remedy. You can depend upon that
but if your case is obstinate, give
it reasonable time.
It's an invigorating, restorative
tonic, a soothing and strengthen
ing nervine, and a positive specific
for female weaknesses and ailments.
All functional disturbances, painful
Irregularities and arrangements are
corrected and cured by it. All unnat-
ural discharges, bearing-down sensa-
tons, weak back, accompanied with
faint spells and kindred symptoms,
are corrected. In every case for
which it's recommended, "Favorite
Prescription" is guaranteed to give
satisfaction, or the money is re-
funded. No other medicine for
women is sold on such terms. That
proves that nothing else offered by
the dealer can be "just as good"
