"A HUSTLING HOST.

hardly could decline the Entertainment"
which had been provided for them. Hav-
ing carelessly undertaken to call the turn
on the black OF, the red, they expected to
lose trife to their host, but they did not
anticipate any such financial catastrophe
as overlook each of the players. q
f. The bank won steadily. Soon all the
player guests were "broke," but the host
offered, in an off-hand way, to stake one
and all, guarding against loss of the
frequent loans, however, by taking the
checks Of his friends. For the purpose, with
admirable forethought, he had provided
himself with blank checks on every bank in

NERVOUS DEPRESSION.
IA TALK WITH MRS. P1NKHAn.1

IA TALK WITH MRS. PINKHAM.1
~ A woman with the blues is a very un-
comfortable person. She is illogical,
unhappy and frequently hysterical.
The condition of the mind known as
-" the blues nearly always, with wo-
men, results from diseased organs of
generation.
It is a source of wonder that in this
age of advanced medical science, any
person should still believe that mere
force of will and determination will
overcome depressed spirits and nerv-
BUSINESS in women. These troubles are
indications of disease.
Every woman who doesn't under
stand her condition should write to
Lynn, Mass, to Mrs. Pinkham for her
advice. Her advice is thorough COM
mon sense. and is the counsel Of q
learned woman of great experience.
Read the story of Mrs F. S. BENNETT.
Westphalia, Kansas, as told in the fol-
lowing letter:
DEAR MRS. aPINKHAM:-I have suf-
j, fered for over two years with falling,
enlargement and liberation of the
womb, and this spring, being in such
a weakened condition, caused me to
flow for nearly six months. Some time
ago, urged by friends, I wrote to you
for advice. After using, the treatment
which you advised for short time,
that terrible flow stopped.
il II am now gaining strength and
flesh, and have: better. health than I
have had for the past ten years. I

HAVE AN AIM IN LIFE.

The Young Should Have a Chosen
Vocation and Pursue
1t Steadily.

One of the most important con sidera-
ations affecting success, in life, is def
mite, aim, to which our, endeayors are di-
rected,. and for,which we are willing to
make sacrifices.
= 1t is difficult for. the:young to make
choice of a profession or trade, circum-
stances being so all-controlling and de-
termining in the case of most. But,
once started in any sphere. of work
however humble, it is in the power of
|sall to make a plan, form an end., to
which lit is possible to strive, and there
by achieve something worthy and no
bic.
II the end be proficiency in a chosen
vocation, the acquiring of incompetence
or the development Of character, if
assiduously pursued it is sure TO de-
velop n OF only those talents which birth
and nature have given US, but to re-
suit in moral qualities such as pru-
dence, foresight and mental breadth
and resource, which make higher
type OF manhood than can possible be
achieved by the aimless. drifting, hand
to-mouth existence which otherwise
certainly results.
1t is profitable employment for a
leisure hour to take your past life init
consideration, and see whittier during
the past years you have been tending.
whether as a result of your activity,
any good has come to yourself and 9th
ers, and whether you are pursuing a
course likely to result in noble achieve
ment.
Nothing which aims at excellence in
any department. of life or business can
result in anything but good, not only to
the individual but to others. s'The love
OF fame, the last infrmity of noble
minds" may be potent minister for
good it pursued on.lines consistent with
the welfare of humanity. The great
benefactors Of the race, the discoveries.
the great merchants, the authors and
statesmen, have won their fame by
great constructive enterprises in
thought and action which have bound
together and organized communities.
