Women is often referred to by man as
doubling his joys and halyiHp his aorroy,. >
That may be complimentary but it would
seem to be rather hard on the woman.
For in plain terms it means that where
things are going well with She man his wife
makes him 90 better. Brt when things are
going i'll with him, he expects the wife to
share half his burden. And there's mere
truth than poetry i'll this presentation Of
masculine seliishness. Men don't appre-
oiate the fact that the strain of motherhood
alone is burden bigger than all the loads
that rest upon male shoulders. They see
the wife grow thin, pale, nervous and worn
without 4 thought that she is oyer-burden.
Among the pleasant letters received by DR..
Perce's are those from husbands VINO have
walked up before it was to late to the crush
ing burdens laid upon the wife, and in the
search for help have found in Dr.. Pierce 5
Fayorite Prescription a restorative which
has given back to the mother the health OF
the maiden and the maiden's happiness.
"Favorite Prescription" always helps, and
almost always cures. lthas perfectly cured
ninety-eight out OF every hundred women
who have used it when afflicted with dis
eases peculiar to women.

Though the position held by minis ter exempts him from the thrusts Of every considerate joker he is privileged to tell a good one on himself, and this one comes from pulpit orator of De- troit. who does not refrain from dis cussing current questions when he thinks that he may thereby help his congregation to sense of their duty. ."rhere is rather crusty old gentleman attending my church, and his absence for several weeks led me to call upon him. He is not a communicant, and | am afraid at times he is slightly skep- tical. He is very pronounced in his po- Htical views and, as conversational ma

A TREELESs REGION.
The Dismal Condition That Follows the Denudatton of Forest
 Lands.

Anyone who has travelled through the comparatively treeless scountriesarounG the Mediterranean, such as Spain, Si- ely, Greece, northern Africa and large portions Of Italy, must frequently pray that our own country may be preserved from so dismal fate ltis not the loss of the forests only that k to he dreaded, but the loss of the agrieul tural regions now fertile and popHloas, which may be desolated by the floods that rush down from bare hills and mountains, bringing with them vast quantities of sand and gravel to be spread over the lowlands. Traveling a few years ago through Tunisie. I came suddenly upon fine Roman bridge of stone over wide, bare dry river bed. It stood some 30 feet above the bed of the river, and had once served the needs of a prosperous population. Marveling at the height of the bridge above the ground, l asked the French station master if the river ever rose to the arches which carried the road way of the bridge His answer testi- fled to the flooding capacity of the river and to the strength of the bridge He said: "I have been here four years, and three times l have seen the river running over the parapets of that bridge" That country was once one of the richest granaries of the Roman empire. It now yields seanty sup port for a sparse and semi-borbarous population. The whole region round about is treeless. The care of the aa- tional forests is provision for future generations. for the permanenee over vast areas of our country of the great industries of agriculture and mining upon which the prosperity of the eoun- try ultimately depends. A good for est administration would soon support itself: but it should be organized in the interests of the whole country, no mat ter what it cost.--Atlantic.

 Mir. Afonzo Bunker leaned back on the bench and was softly singing You Ain't Landlord No More, ' when Larry came in through the door to the street pushing on the truck in front of him a very large trunk, strongly bound with hoops of iron.

just came down to see about it. Now, my good man, will you bring that right up to 536? Pm in d hurry for it."
 The man who had spoken-eyident- ly Mir. Horatio Gillespie-was tall and pale, with piercing black eyes and rather long hair. His ulster oyercoat was buttoned tightly about him, and his height was emphasized by silk hat which had been rubbed the wrong way in two or three places.
 "TIl get it there if the eleyathor don't break with it" said Larry. ''Y' moost have armor plate or cannon balls in there"
 "Very well, bring it up at once, " said Mir Gillespie, paying no attention to Larry's remark as to the contents of the trunk.
 Alonzo had been looking at the stranger with considerable interest. Room No. 536 was on his floor, and Mir. Gillespie would he under his charge. Alonzo had the entire world divided in- to two elasses-those who gave him something for his services and those who did not. Mr. Gillespie did not
