during which Mrs. Dyer kindly assisted
by playing for them. The dancing was
all charming, and it is no dsparagement
to the rest TO state that the little daugh-

for her graceful posturing and posing.

women so that they will dance in har-
mony for, say, three night during n sea-

out in brilliant relief the exceptions in
favor of the several dancing classes and

Safety for the

physical and mental ,teakness, and stas able to PRO

lapse, on entering upon fresh days work

and has splendid physique. He is mar

exercise. He is yasdmaster Of the Zettel-

mercial Street.
He discovered recently that he had over
taxed his strength.
Ali the symptoms Of over work distressed
him. He describes them in a way that
thousands will instantly recognize:

head" he said, and would almost faint.
My strength was leaving me. Every part
Of my body seemed to be out of order.

SINGULAR STATEMENT.
From Mrs. Rank to Mrs. Pinkham.

The following letter to Mrs. Pink
ham from Mrs. NJ. RANK, No. 1884
East Susquehanna Ave, Philadelphia,
Pa, is remarkable statement of re-
lief from utter encouragement. She
says:
81 never can find words with which
to thank you for what Lydia L. Pink
hams Vegetable Compound has done
for me.
Some years ago had womb trouble
and doctored for long time, not see
ing any improvement. At times l
would feel well enough, and other
times was miserable. so it went on
until last October, | felt something
terrible creeping over me, l knew not
what. but kept getting worse. ! can
hardly explain my feelings at that
time. l was SO depressed in spirits
that I did not wish to live. although |
had everything to live for Had hys-
terra, was very nervous: could not
sleep and was not safe to be left
alone.
Indeed, | thought would lose my
mind. No one knows what endured.
:" continued this way until the last
of February, when saw in paper
testimonial of a lady whose case was
similar to mine. and who had been
cured by Lydia L. Pinkham's Vegeta-
bic Compound. l determined to try il.
and felt better after the first dose. |
continued taking it, and to-day am a
well woman, and can say from my
heart, Thank God for such medi
cine"

women TO write to her at Lynn. Mass

When men get into trouble, they are
often anxious to be saved from their
troubles, though they were unwilling
to take advice before. 1t is our duty to
ask God to keep Us from running into
temptation as we'll as to ask Him to
help US out. The best time to ask God 5
help out of trouble is before one gets
into it. Many child cries Justify for

The Conductor Made a Mistake.

A Pullman car conductor who had a
run out of Broad street station recently
made mistake in sizing up passen-
ger which quite upset his confidence in
his own judgment. The passenger in
question was seedy looking individual
who sauntered into the Pullman from the
adjoining day coach and looked around
with the air of a man who had never be-
fore seen the interior OF a parlor car
Just watch me take fall out of the hay
seed, tho conductor said to party of
travelling men who were sitting in the
smoking compartment. Pardon me,
sir, he said with mock courtesy to the
hayseed. You will have to pay parlor car
fare to ride in this Pullman.
The passenger appeared very much sur
prised at this information, telling the con-
ductor he was only going to ride to the
next station. THAT makes no difference,
he was informed You will have to pay
fare
The passenger fumbled through his
pockets absentmindedly until he pulled an
old wallet out of an inside pocket Then
he drew from its recess a Pullman car
pass, displaying at the same time fist
full of railroad passes and a roll of bank
bills of large denomination. Before the
conductor could revive from his trance,
the 'hayseed" had ordered the porter to
carry in his grips from the day coach and
arrange a drawing room" for him. The
fresh conductor avoided the chatting of
the travelling men as best he could for the
rest of the trip into Philadelphia Phila-
delphia Record.
