4 Wise Mule,

Among our pack mules was one who on a fishing trip several years before had visited this very locality in which we were encamped, but she had come the previous time the straight route over the mountains. What was our amazement one morning to find this mule gone and with her two of her comrades, whom she had evidently led astray. Hunt high and hunt low, we could not find them, and after wasting several days in this fruitless search we set out for home. Upon arrival there we were surprised and delighted to find that the mules had preceded us The old mule had at once recognized her previous camping place, changed though it must have been by the severe storms to which this region is subject, and had determined in her wise old head to strike out for home immediately with out waiting for the formality of carry ing a pack, and this she and her com. panions, i'll advised but evidently not misguided, did, not following the trails for we had carefully inspected them, but heading through the dark and con- fusing forests, guided by the old mule, as straight ss though directed by the unswerving needle of magnetic com. pass.-Charles Dudley Rhodes, U. s. A., in Lippincott's.

ICleveland Leader.l DIDN'T CARE FOR STYLE.

"Georgiana." said MT. Dalrymple, it seems to me that you spend altogether too much time worrying about what other folks are likely to think about you. Why don't you follow my example and have little independence ? As long as I know that am doing my duty as man what do l care how others like my style :''
 |" don't know" Mrs. Dalrymple replied "what you mean. In what way have been worrying about what folks think of me:
 "Oh in a hundred ways" her husband answered. You wouldn't wear the shirt waist you have on if it were not for the fact that all the other women wear them, and would think you couldn't afford it if you didn't have one. You wouldn't care whether you had lace curtains at the win dows if other folks didn't have them. You wouldn't spend money for a hundred and one other things that you could get along without just as well as not if you were not always trying to pose before oth- CT people,"
 Well" Mrs. Dalrymple assented, for she was not disposed to quarrel over the mat ter ''it is perhaps as you say. am sorry that it is so, but I can't help it. Aren't you afraid you'll be late at the office this morning: And you haven't put on your necktie this morning. How did you come to forget it :''
 By George" he exclaimed looking at his watch, its nearly s o'clock now. don't know how 1 happened to forget my necktie. Where is it: l must hurry.'
 "Oh never mind the tie this morning. his wife said; ''you've got clean shirt and collar on. Go without the tiA"
 What" shouted William Dalrymple : ''go down town without a uccktir. You must think Im crazy Why. the boys in the office would guy the life out of me, and people would think didn't have mon ey enough to buy one, Here it is. Good by"
 Then Mrs. Dalrymple sat down and thought, and two little wrinkles with mer- ry curves appeared at the corners of her | mouth.

A Curious Epitaph.

A Curious Epitaph. The following curious epitaph is in the graveyard of Lydford church, Dart moor, England: Here lies in horizontal position the outside case of George Routleigh, watchmaker, Whose abilities in that line were an honor to his profession. Integrity was the mainspring and prudence the
 regulator of all the actions of his life. Humane, generous and liberal, his hand never stopped till he had relieved distress. So nicely regulated were all his motions that he never went wrong except when set a-going
 by people who did not know his key. Even then he was easily
 set right again. He had the art of disposing his time 60 well that his hours glided away in one continual round of pleasure and delight, till an unlucky minute put a peri6d to
 his existence.
 He departed this life
 Nov. IA, 1902,
 aged B;
 wound up in the hope of being taken in hand
 by his Maker, and of being thoroughly cleaned, repaired and set a going
 in the world to come.

Spain and q Conquered Race.

The idea of conquered races enjoying the most minute liberty of action by nat ural birthright was regarded in Spain as absurd. Little by little pressure was brought to bear on the king and his counselors, producing a gradual relaxa tion of the letters which bound the new subjects to their forced allegiance. Trade created by the Spaniards, which finally extended to half castes, was con- fined exclusively to commerce with Spain. Both in the far east and the far west the exact size and number of pack ages shipped. the number of voyages per annum to and fro of the Naos (govern- ment trading galleons) contents of bales, etc, were all regulated, and no one could ship without a boleto or pub lie permit, which could only be obtained from the unscrupulous officials who had come to fill their p' ckots Ly the most corrupt means Permission had to be so- licited again and again to perform al most any act beyond the common urces sities of life One could neither travel. quit or enter the country. road, write. assemble ill group. build d h use nor plant field wlthuut llceISG

The Old Time StaSeeoach.

In l762 there were, strange as it seems. only six stagecOaches running in all England, and of course these were the only public vehicles for travellers. Even these were a novelty, and per- son named John Crosset thought they were such a dangerous innovation that he wrote pamphlet against them. "These coaches, " he wrote, make gen. tlemen cone to London upon every small occasion, which otherwise they would not do except upon urgent ncces- sity. Nay, the conveniency of the pass age makes their wives come often up, who rather than come such long jour- neys on horseback would stay at home. Then when they come to town they must be Ill the wade, get fine clothes, go to plays and treats, and by these means get such habit of idleness and love of pleasure that they are uneasy after" Even people who come to the city on steam cars are sometimes sim ilarly affected by the visit, even unto this sday.-Exchange.

Stop! Women,

And consider that in addressing Mrs. Pinkham you are confiding your private ills to a woman-a woman whose eX- perience in treating woman's diseases is greater than that of any living phy- sician, male or female.
 You can talk freely to a woman when 1t is revolting to relate your private troubles to a man; besides, man does not understand, simply because he is a man.
 MRS. PINKHAM'S STANDING
 INVITATION.
 Women suffering from any form of female weakness sareinvited topromptly communicate with Mrs. Pinkham, at Lynn, Mass. All letters are re- ceived, opened, read, and answered by women only. A woman can freely talk of her private illness to a woman. Thus has been established the eternal confidence between Mrs. Pinkham and the women of America which has never been broken. Out of the vast volume of experience which she has to draw from, it is more than possible that she has Agained the very knowledge that wi help your case. She asks nothing in return except your good will, and her advice has relieved thousands. Surely any woman, rich or poor, is very foolish if she does not take advantage of this generous offer of assistance.
