To Do or Not to Do.

An exchange says: Learn to laugh.
A good laugh is better than medicine.
Learn how to tell a story. A we'll
told story is welcome at all times
Learn to keep your own troubles to
yourself The world is too busy to
care for your ills and SORROWS. Learn
to stop croaking. If you cannot see
any good in the world, keep the bad ia
yourself. Learn to hide your pains
and aches under pleasant smile. No
one cares to hear whether you have
earache, headache or rheumatism.
Don't cry. Tears do well enough in
novels, but they are out of place in
real life. Learn to meet your friends
with smile. The good humored man
or woman is always welcome, but the
dyspeptic or hypochondiac is not
wanted anywhere, and is a nuisance rs

There was only one blood purifier
admitted at the Worlds Fair, Chicago.
1t was Ayers Sarsaparilla. All others
were shut out because they did not
meet the requirements of the Fair Com
missioners. Ayers Sarsaparilla only
was accorded the honor of an entry, be-
cause it did meet those require

Unfortunate Lady Lamb.

Many of Byron most charming and
tender verses are written to Lady Caro-
line Lamb, the novelist, whose life was
sadly interesting. She was married le-
fore the age of 20 to the Hon William
Lamb and was long the favorite of
fashionable circles for her literary ac-
mplshments, her personal attractive
ness and her grace. Upon meeting Lord
Byron she became the victim Of an un-
fortunate intatuation for the poet which
continued three years and was the cause
of much comment. The poet is said to
have trifed with her feelings, and a
quarrel took place. For many years
Lady Caroline led life of comparative
seclusion at Irocket Hall. While rid
ing one day with Mr., Lamb she met at
the park gates the hearse which was
conveying the remains of Lord Byron to
Newstead abbey. She was taken home
insonsibe and long and severe illness
followed, during which she had spells
of insanity From this time her man
ner and habits changed, and three years
before her death separation took place
between her and her husband, who,
however, visited her frequently and cor
responded with her. A romantic suscep-
tibility of tt mperament seems to have
been the misfortune of this lady. This
fact illustrates the wisdom of Thomp-
IONS advice:
Then keep each passion, however dear.
Trust ne, the tender are the most severe.

A MODEL WIFE.
She Dons Black In Memory of Her Un.
mOurned Predecessor,

He had asked her to be "his'n, -" and
she had made up her mind that she had
worked out" long enough anyway. So
she accepted him. She was perfectly
satisfied with her place, but she wanted
to have a house of her own. So they
were married.
1t wasn't long afterward that she
came back to see her former mistress
about something, and the latter noticed
that she was wearing mourning. OF
course she was sorry for her and was
rather surprised that she made no men
tion of her bereavement. 1t is, indeed,
grievous thing when honeymoon is
cut short.
Finally the former mistress brought
up the subject herself
"You are in mourning, Maggie" she
suggested.

ly, and with no show of feeling at all.

'Great shock!" exclaimed Maggie in
surprise. Then as she grasped the idea
she went on, "Oh, he amt dead" with
the accent ON che.
"You haven't lost your husband!'
Maggie shook her head.
"Then why are you in such dacp
mourning?"
"Just to please the poor lad" an
swered Maggie. lyon see, it's this
way" she went on when she had de-
cided to tell the story. "Aftor we was
