The Approach of Motherhood is th,
Occasion of Much A,,.iaty +n All

Ghe approach OF motherhood Is the
Occasion of Much Anxiety to All.
Every woman breads the ordeal
through which she must pass in heepm-
ing mother. The pain and suffering
which is in store for her is II source of
constant anxiety, fear and dread, TO
say nothing of the danger which the
coming incident entails The Joyous
authorizations with which she looks for
ward to baby's coming gives way to an
/ lndescribable dread of the ordeal when
she fully realizes the critical aud trying
event Which Will soon approach and
have to be endured.
Women should hail with delight a
remedy which insures to them inn
munity from the pain, suffering and
danger incidental to child-bearinp.
Such remedy is now offered, and
women need not fear longer the hour of
childbirth. Mothers Friend"-is a
scientific iniment-and if used before
confinement, gently and surely prepares
the body for the great requirements
and changes it is undergoing, insures
safety to both mother and child, and
takes her through the event with COM
parative ease and comfort. This won
derful remedy is praised by every
woman who has used it.
What woman is not interested in
Mothers Friend?" This wonderful
remedy has been tested and its price
less value proven by the experience of
thousands of happy mothers who
have used it during the most critical
period of woman's life-the approach
and elimination of motherhood
1t has won their everlasting praise,
for it gave them help and hope in
their most trying hour and when
most needed. Every woman mny some
day need "Mother's Friend. The
little book, Before Baby is Born"
telling all about it, and when it should
be used, will prove of great interest and
benefit 10 all expectant mothers, aud

Stole u Watch.

Tuesday forenoon a colored tramp
struck DR.. Mcdowell for a meal and
was sent to the house to saw wood.
he got the meal and liked the Dr.'s
provender so well that he went back
In the afternoon and sawed more
wood and got his supper. The second
meal struck him just right and he
said he would come back Wednesday
morning and black a couple of stoves
for his breakfast. He did not forget
ing place and was on hand yesterday
morning according to promise and
got his breakfast. Mrs. Mcdowell
gave him the backing and the
brushes, but he did not go at the
work with the same spirit he had
tackled the breakfast. While he
was foollng around a stove on
the back porch, Mrs. Mcdowell went
down town on an errand, leaving the
kitchen door unlocked. When she
returned, the tramp was still there

ward. Nothing had occurred to
arouse her suspicion and when the
fellow LETT, leaving the stoves un-
BACKED, she did not object. About
6 o'clock last evening Edgar went to
get his vest where he had left it on
the bedpost the night before and
found his watch was not in the
pocket where it should have been.
The watch belonged to Willie, who
died early this spring, and was priced
far beyond it's money value of S25.
The tramp wore soldiers hat and
uniform, but had on overalls and a
striped overshirt. The officers looked
for him last night, but failed to find
him in town. The lesson to be
learned from this is never to leave
your house unlocked when you 90
out, especially when tramp is hang
ing around.

The SOrrOwful Tree.

There is tree in Persia to which
the name "Sorrowful tree" is given.
Perhaps because it blooms only in
the evening.
Whan the first star appears in the
heavens, the first bud of the SORROW
full tree opens, and rs the shades of
evening advance and stars thickly
stud the sky, the buds continue to
open until the whole tree looks like
one immense white flower. On the
approach Of da IN when the brilliancy
OF the stars begin to fade with the
light OF Gay, the sorrowful tree grad
ually closes its fiowe rs, and ere the
sun is fairly risen not single bios.
som is visible. a sheet of flower
dust as white as snow covers the
foot OF the tree, which seems blighted
and withered during the day, while,
however, it is actively preparing for
the next nocturnal festival. The
fragrance OF the blossom is like that
OF the evening primrose.
If that tree is cut down close to the
roots new plant shoots up and at
tains maturity in All incredibly short
time.
In the vicinity of this tree there US.
ually grows another, which is almost
an exact counterpart of the sorrowful
tree, but less beautiful and strange
t. say, it blooms only in the day time.

PIeco OF Bread and Butter.

The force OF childhood recollections
and the truth Of the quotation: "a
touch OF nature makes the whole
world kim was shown graphically in
down town retaurant the other day.
A quiet-looking, middle aged man of
prosperous appearance WIS eating his
dinner, when another well dressed
man took seat opposite. After he
had given his order in a bluff, genial
manner, the new conner took drink
OF water and faced around. Sudden
ly queer expression came over his
face as he watched attentiveIy the
actions OF his vis-a-vis, and apparent
ly without realizing what he was do.
ing he blurted ont in loud tone:
swell, well, WE'LL"
Every one at the table including
the quiet man, started, and the others
observing the direction of the speak
er's gaze, turned their eyes also upon
the man OF the quiet appearance to
find out what had caused tho excla.
nation.
The man who had come in first was
in the act Of spreading sugar over
slice Of buttered bread, and when no
realized that all eyes were turned up
on him he blushed like one detected
In heinous crime and almost fell off
his chair. 1t took him minute to
recover and then he said to the table
in general:
II used to get bread and butter
and sugar for being good when | was
a child, and eating it is habit
which like to indulge in even yet.
[ know it isn't on the restaurant bill
OF iare,but / couldn't resist the temp
tation."
Il, must beg you pardon for my
rude exclamation" said the other.
"My mother put bread and butttor
and sugar in my lunch box when l
was an eight-year-old gong to school
in Vermont, and haven't eaten any
since. Guess I'll join you in piece
now for the sake OF old times.' And

would she be like? He asked about
her rooms, and Katherine took him to
see them-a pretty suite of rooms in
the western wing; they looked very
bright in the winter sunlight, with
their cheerful fires and choice flowers.
She will like these rooms, papa, ;"
said Katherine. See what / have put
here,-aII the italian views and
photographs that l can find. See!-
here is the Arno, here is the Rialto in
Venice"
She stopped suddenly. Why did he
pause and turn from her with a sharp
cry? There was the very spot on
which he had stood when Giula's
fair face first shone down upon him!
1T is nothing, child" he said, in
answer to her anxious inquiries
than nothing-a sharp, sudden pain
that hurts but will never kill me"
How do you know that it will never
kill you, papa?" she asked.
Because, my darling, if it could
have shortened my life it would have
done so long ago. he replied. Now
show me all the arrangements you
have made for my ward?"
Papa" cried generous, beautiful
Katherine, "she will be very dull,
she will be very lonely. Do you sup
pose that she is alone in the world,
that she has no other friends but us?
If she had but one it would be some
thing"
II cannot tell you, Katherine" he
replied you must ask her when she
comes"
He was pleased to see the arrange
ments his wife and daughter had
made for her, yet, as the time for her
arrival drew near, he trembled and
shuddered like one seized with a sud
den cold. He had to meet the child
he had literally given away-Giulia's
daughter.
