Admiral Montague, in the "Middy's
Recollections," tells how he got his
sea-training as boy, III the years be-
tween '53 and 80. Captains were
likely to be martinets and sometimes
they sere not only strict but unjust
as well.
Sir Lewis Tobias Jones was what
sailors called "taut hand" an oili-
Ger with stern sense of duty, which
made him as merciless to others as
to himself. Knowing his repu alton,
the middies who came under his sway
dreaded him exceedingly; but they
found that he was mau to be adj
mired rs we'll as feared.
Only once did he fall foul of Mon
tague, and that in way to suggest
the punishments belonging to the
schoolroom. 1t was a bitterly cold
day, and the wretched MILDLY on watch
had to walk the lee side of the deck.
The maintrysail was set, the most
draughty sail in the world, sending
the winds whistling down the neck of
anybody beneath.
Montague was perishing with cold,
and in a moment of thoughtlessness
put his poor little fingers in his
pockets to keep them warm. Now
the captain was pacing up and down
the sheltered side of the vessel, and
perhaps he could not realize the boys
excuse for breach of discipline. To
see pair of hands in middy's
pockets, on the sacred precincts of
her majesty's quarter deck, was more
than he could bear. He SUNNI ned
the boy, and called to him in stem
torian tones:
"Pray, sir, who allowed You to
keep your hands in your pockets on
the quarter deck? Go down imme-
diately to the tailor on the half deck,
and tell him, from me, to sew your
pockets up instantly. Report to me,
sir, when he has done"
The boy fed, realizing his disgrace,
and knowing that the only chance of
retrieving his character was to urge
the tailor to ''bear n hand," for the
sooner the culprit app cared on deck,
sewn up, the better.
The tailor appreciated the situation,
dropped his work, and sewed up the
pockets in twinkling. The boy ran
back to his place, trembling with
fright now instead of cold, but to his
surprise, he was received in the most
fatherIy manner.
"Now, my boy" said the captain
gently, 'this is a lesson to you. Do
not do it again. Go below to the
tailor, and tell him to unsew your
pockets. Youths Companion.

Dull boys often become clever and
successful men; but this is simply on
account of the fact that dull b,ys are
only slow boys and it takes more time
for their brains to grow than the
others. 1t is a steady work, ceaseless
endeavor that tells. Then again we
forget that bright boy may be haudi-
capped by other qualities; he may not
have the physical strength or energy
of the other, while the dull boy is
carried forward by never-failing energy
and strength; for it is often his dull
ness at school which makes the dull
boys subsequent success so con-
spicuous. How many dull boys have
become still dhller menl Like the
old reproach about minister's sons,
one bright bov that turns out ill IS
made to stand for the whole class;
and one dull boy that turns out we'll
glorifies his whole class. Notwith-
standing all our inventions, all our
progress, the old Scripture doctrine
still holds good-that men reap what
they SOW, and cannot gather grapes of
thistles nor figs of thorns. It can be
set down, therefore, as an established
rule that bright boys generally do
turn out to be bright men, and
dull boys generally do turn ont
to be dull men. This, you see,
gives the latter a chance, which
can be fortified by declaring that good
boys always turn out good men. and
generally successful men.

AIDED BY MRS. PINKHAM.

Mrs. W. E. PAXTON, youngstown,
North Dakota, writes about her strug-
gle to regain health after the birth Of
her little girl:
DEAR MRS. PINKHAM:-It 10 with
pleasure that I add my testimony to
your list, hoping that it may induce
others to avail themselves of your val.
uable medicine.
"After the birth Of my little girl,
three years ago, my health was very
poor. / had leucorrh9a badly, and a
terrible bearing-down pain which
gradually grew worse, until could do
no work. Also had headache nearly
AL the time, and dizzy feelings. Mem
situations were very profuse, appear
ing every two weeks.
"Itook medicine from q good doctor,
but it seemed to do no good. i was
becoming alarmed over my condition,
when / read your advertisement in
paper, sent Mt once for bottle of
Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Com
ponnd, and after taking two-thirds of
the bottle felt SO much better that l
send for two more. After using three
bottles felt as strong and we'll us any
one.
II think 1t Is the best medicine for
female weakness ever advertised, and
recommend it to every lady meet suf-
fering from this trouble"
Maternity is wonderful experience
and many women approach it wholly
1unprepared. Childbirth under right
conditions need not terrify women.
The advice of Mrs. Pinlsham is freely
offered to all expectant mothers, and
her advice is beyond question the most
valuable to be obtained. If Mrs. Pax
ton had written to Mrs. Pinkham be-
fore confinement she would have been
saved much suffering. Mrs. Pinkham's

Two Interesting buildings.

Pictures of two interesting Baltimore
and Ohio Railroad buildings have been
reproduced In recent issue of Truth
One Is the building at Frederick, Nd,
which has been used since 1881 as q
freight station and which is still de-
voted to that purpose. In the little
cupola Of the building bell once hung
which was always rung on arrival OF
trains from Baltimore when horses
were the motive power of the railroad
The other building is the station al
Mount Clare, Baltimore, and It Is noted
as being the location of the first tele-
graph office in the world. 1t was from
this building that Professor Morse sent
his celebrated message i'm 1914 to his
friends In Washington, forty miles
