would be better if
these discussions of the ailments peculiar
to women took place twenty years earlier
i'll life. If little of the pruderv of mod
crn society were baushed. so that young
women talked these subjects over among
themselves, there would be less suffering
among women in middle life
Good health is the best endowment that
human being can have Good general
health among women is largely dependent
upon good local health in a womanlv way
Through ignorance and neglect it has be
come such an ordinary, common place
thing for women to suffer from weakness
and disease of the delicate and important
feminine organism, that many women have
come to look upon these troubles as all
unavoidable inheritance. This is a mis-.
take. All troubles Of this nature may be
cured i'll the privacy of the home, without
undergoing the obnoxious examinations
and local treatment " insisted upon by
the average physician. DR.. Pierces Fa-
vorite Prescription gives iealth, elastic

SEVEN BEINGS IN ONE.

There are seven beings that live In my skin,
They war and they war. to my woe:
But each In his turn doth the mastery win,
And chain all the others below.
One IL a woman--so tender and fine,
Credulous, patient and true,
Could she forever express what IL mine,
should have nothing to rue.
One IL man, with a far-seeing eye
Merciless. resolute, game!
Boldly aggressive, and ready to die
Rather than fail in his aim.
Wide through the world his adventures
have sped.
Laboring, he never spares me.
Oh, II the man kept his hold on my head,
Think Of the force I might be!
But there's jackass. with doorous ears,
Constantly rising to rule;
Stubborn as fate when my fortunes he
steers,
Nothing can turn him, the fooll
Him you may load with the cares of the
Him you may kick-while he braysi
When the poor jackass' ears are unfurled,
Those are my terrible days!
Blessed be God, am'sometimes tree,
Rooted and windswept, and glad;
Waiting through winter. by faith kept In
me.
The rise of the sap have had.
Then am brother to all growing plants;
Then am held in my place.
When the calm nymph Of q tree has .
chance,
Those are my moments Of grace.
Next comes the student. to stand on these
selves.
Cross out the word with two strokes!
Life is library, bounded by shelves;
Authors in print are its folks.
Best Is the artist. hide him with care
Deep are the secrets he knows.
What may an artist not suffer and daref
Working with fire while 1t glows!
Last is an infant that never gets old;
Easily tickled with toys;
Never distrusting thing he Is told;
Or OUTLYING the thrill of noise!
There are seven beings who dwell In my
skin.
Which Of the seven am I?
Which of the seven will finally win.
And embody my soul when l dief

Madame used the word "clientele"
when she wished to be impressive.
There was superior patrician air about
her visitor that irritated her and she
felt like snubbing her.

WITH FEARLESS FRONT.

Stand thou with fearless front and vision
Above the misty, marshy atmosphere
In which the human insects thoughtless
fit, .-... ,
Born Of the damp dank bog and part Of It:
The little, narrow, cramped, decelt1ui
hearts,
Which dodge like gnats through worldly
ways and marts,
Ready with venomed sting to strike and
kill
Those who despise their ways and balk
their will.
Stand thou erect, thy gaze toward the sun;
Count no task worthy unless wisely done,
Despise not any souls sincerest creed.
But let thy faith agree in word and deed;
Be neither narrow nor unduly loose,
And treading straight the path by heroes
Yield thy allegiance unto truth and God.
scorn thou the cheapling arts which fawn
for place.
Thy beacon Gods own truth and shining
grace,
Thy law Of life His law of deathless love,
His service ranking all things else above;
Bow not thy need to flattery nor pride,
For false ambitions turn not thou aside;
Thy lessons learned in Natures broad
gauge school,
Thy acts all measured by the Golden Rule.
So shalt thou stand giant tall and strong.
Thy psalm Of life be calm contentment's
song,
Thy heart be clean, as crystai-clear thy
soul.
Thy skies undimmed by gloomy doubt or
dole;
Keen eyes the field Of duty we'll to scan,
Clear words which prove the mirror of the
man,
A faithful. fearless, broad-gauged, loving
life,
Master Of self, victor In every strife.

In his business or social capacity Al
fred Pellingham was not easily dunn
founded; yet certain letter which ar
rived one evening at his private resi-
dence marked an exception. It ran
thus:
''12, Hill Street, Kings Oval.-Dear Mr..
Pellingha1r: I inclose my photo, in ex-
change for your own, and shall be pleased
to meet you near the bookstall of the
Great Northern Terminus at eight O'Clock
tomorrow evening. You will have no diff
ficulty in recognizing me, as I shall dress
in pale green and wear hat trimmed with
red poppies. Believe me, yours In conf
dence. ALICE TOWNSHEND."
It would be impossible to describe
the wonderment of Mr.. Pellingham on
receipt of this amazing communica-
ton. The photo was certainly that OF
a pretty girl; yet, '.Who is Alice Towns
bend? And what on earth can she
want with me?" were. the questions he
still kept asking himself, after putting
every possible and impossible construc-
tlon on the letter. In the end curiosity
decided that he must at least keep the
appointment il he ever hoped to solve
the problem. vi. Z. i.

THE CHOICEST COMPLIMENT.
The Author of 'sLittle Women he
ceives 1t from an Indignant Girl

The Author of "Little Women" Re.
ceives 1t from an Indignant Girl -
One day very pleasant-faced lady
came in and asked for something Every
nice and new to read. A copy of "Lit-
tie Women" had just come in, and had
it snugly tucked up under my arm,
ready to send it out. 1 liked this woman
very much; there was something about
her which appealed very strongly to
me, and I was moved to give her the
best had. So took the little volume
from under my arm and handed it to
her, telling her that it was the sweet
est and incest book we had, and that
was glad to be able to give it to her.
She took it from my hand, looked it over
for moment, then tossed it carelessly
down, saying:
give seen that BEFORE
''Isnt it just beautiful" I ex-
claimed, thinking that my enthusiasm
would meet with the usual response.
Judge of my disappointment and sur
prise!
cts good enough thing, I dare
say" was the Indifferent reply.
That was too much for me, and I
a wonder-I have never been quite sure
how it happened; I think it must have
been because the editor wished to get
rid of the persistent schoolgirl who was
bothering him to such an extent-I had
been given the book to review for
Boston paper-and I am afraid, in my
indignation, that quoted the entire re-
view to my helpless victim. She smiled
sweetly, and then, choosing book
without my assistance, turned away. I
went up to the desk to send my rejected
volume to some one who did want it,
when the head librarian spoke to me:
"Do you know who that was whom
you were serving?"
No. said, I'm sure DON'T"
''Well, it was the author of Little
Women Miss Louisa Alcott."
I fairly gasped. -
"And I have been abusing her because
she wouldn't take her own book from
the library"
Just then heard ringing laugh,
oAus AoOhAuS oO"A W I4C 1IOAt VI LILO
library, saw the lady to whom I had
been reading a lecture on her lack of
appreciation of my cherished book, in
close conversation with the proprietor.
Both were laughing, and just as I
turned, both looked in my direction,
and the proprietor beckoned to me to
come to him. I was presented to Miss
Alcott, who took my hand in hers and
said to me:
''My dear, that was the choicest and
sweetest. compliment I have had paid
my little book. I thank you for it.
That was the beginning of the most
cherished friendship of my whole life
"a friendship which lasted until the
object of my devoted affection passed
beyond this earth.-Success. 81
