WOMEN IN TROUBLE.
The Approach of Motherhood is tho
Occasion of Much Anxiety to All.


Every woman breads the ordeal
through which she must pass in becom-
ing mother. The pain and suffering
which is in store for her is source of
constant anxiety, fear and dread, to
say nothing of the danger which the
coming incident entails. The JOYOUS
anticipations with which she looks for
ward to baby's coming gives way to an
indescribable dread of the ordeal when
she fully realizes the critical and trying
event which will soon approach and
have to be endured.
Women should hail with delight a
remedy which insures to them i'm
nunity from the pain, suffering and
danger incidental to collaborating.
Such remedy is now offered, and
women need not fear longer the hour Of
childbirth. Mothers Friend"-is a
scientific liniment-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
"Mother's Friend?" This wonderful
remedy has been tested and it's 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 may 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 20 all expectant mothers, and
will be sent free to any address upon

Telegraphers are essentially a class OF
rovers. In the daily course of their bust
ness they are brought in touch with
points hundreds, even thousands, of miles
distant. The sense of distance is thus
lost, and at the same time feeling OF
restlessness is created which can be sat
isf1ed only by travel. To this rule l

viewed retrospectively, are frightened

there was in the new system not a single
flaw No possible contingency could we
devise with which it could not success
fully cope. But such a contingency did
arise, and it shall ever be to me an OBJ
ject lesson of the limits to human con-
eeption. We went on with our new
scheme for a month, sleeping when We
chose and staying awake when we chose,
when our system was suddenly ex-
rlc3cd
CIR the particular night in question the
operator at the other end Of the tunnel
was attending festival in a neighborng
village, and his place was filled by the
day man. OF this fact 1 was unaware
until afterward. About 1 o'clock l got
out my lunch basket and had just made
a half moon in a piece of pie when a
heavy freight train drifted around the
curve and whistled for the signal. AS
usual, called the man at the other end.
Receiving no answer, I pulled the signal
to white, and the train rolled slowly into
the tunnel. AS the engine passed the
office / heard a lump of coal strike the
door, Some of the trainmen were in the
habit of throwing off old papers and
magazines for my perusal, and usually
took this way to attract my attention.
Believing this to be the case now / pick
ed up the lantern and stepped out of the
office to look for the papers. But found
nothing. Thinking that the momentum
of the train might have carried them
along 1 walked up the track perhaps 50
feet, but could see nothing of the papers.
Then returned to the office. had been

but couldn't raise you, so | let them in"
Swift as lightning the terrible truth
flashed over me. He had called while
was out looking for the papers. Failing
to raise me, he had lived up to the letter
of our system and sent the train through
the tunnel. And now-what? Why, TWO

night about month after my advent at

me and the operator at the west end the
possibility Of making it simpler still IL
came about in this way:
About 3 o'clock one Sunday morning
belated freight train approached my
end Of the tunnel. | opened the key and
called the man at the other end, but he
had evidently forgotten that the train
was back and had taken advantage of
the quiet to catch a nap
Dawson must be pounding his car. ("
/ said to the Waterman, who was
stretched out on the floor in the, corner.
Il can't raise him."
Bat that gentleman, whose duty it is
to keep watch and ward was evidently
INDUCING in the same luxury, for his
answer was a snore.
/ kept on calling until the long train
had come almost to standstill. i knew
as a matter of fact that there were no
trains bound in the opposite direction
within many miles of Long tunnel.
also knew that even if there were, they
could not enter the tunnel until given
the signal by the operator, and such
signal could not be given until I had
been consulted. | was. therefore, per-
fectly safe in allowing the train to pro-
ceed So not wishing to hold it, | pulled
the signal and it rolled into the tunnel.
When it came out at the other end the
noise aroused the sleeping operator, and
I told him what / had done.
This event, as | said, awakened in both
of us possibilities that had never oc-
Cured before. Sitting at breakfast in
the big farmhouse the same morning, we
talked the matter over
''There is no reason" said Dawson,
after we had discussed the thing from
all sides, why we shouldn't get some
sleep out of this"
! ESPECIALLY, l added, when we car
do so with perfect safety"
| So we agreed that for the future if one
of us called the other for track" and re-
| ceived no reply he should act on the as
! sumption that the other was asleep, and
| let the train go through. In such q
! course there appeared to be absolutely nc
danger; because if, while this train was
in the tunnel, another should approach al
the opposite end, the operator there WOULD
have to call up the other man to get the
| right of way, when he could be informed
| Of the state of affairs.
/ And thus we altered the system whfcf
had been adopted by the officials, to sui
our convenience. So far as we could see
