She was such pretty little maiden.
1t was such pretty hat. and he was
such an umiable-lookng old horse.
Perhaps he could not help it-she was
such an attractive little girl and that
was such nice little hat bristling
with wings under his very nose. Just
a little souvenir!
There was sudden pull that started
every hat pin. a crunching of feathers
and disheveled little maiden with
tears in her eyes stepped back upon
the sidewalk, and plaintive little
voice murmured despairingly:

An Unselnsh Spirit.

Jesus was not self-engrossed. He
went through the world with His eyes
open for others. lie saw the man at
the pool of Bethesda, He saw the great
sorrow of the widow as she followed
those who carried her son to the burial,
He saw the blind man by the way, lie
saw that the people were hungry and
faint. With Him to see was to do.
"Wilt thou be made whole:" II will
not send them away fasting" exhibit
the spirit of His life. One self.engross'
ed becomes narrow and selfish, and, Of
course, miserable. But on looking oHt
for others and thinking how he may
help them broadens in his sympathy,
enlarges in his spirit, and carries life
and happiness wherever he goes.-Uni

"MOther! mother! there's something

E. acts
for
Women

Any article, whatever its merit,
must be made known to the public by
means of advertising. Advertising,
however, though it can do much for a
thing, cannot do everything. 1t may
create sale for time, but in order
to insure a lasting demand the thing
advertised must have solid worth.
This is the case with Lydia L. Pink.
hams Vegetable Compound. 1t has
solid worth.
Women everywhere have learned
this fnct, and the result is that there
Is a lasting and absolutely uncqualed
demand for It, 1t has the largest sale
of any remedy for female ills in the
world, and this has been the case for
years.
The reason for this is that Mrs.
Pinkham claims nothing that she is
not entitled to claim. She can do all
that she says she can do, and her
twenty years of experience make her
advice invaluable. Herexperience has
been not only long but worldwide,
and she has helped more women back
to health than any one else in the
world. These facts should. and do,
have immense weight with all sensible
women. Remember these are not wild
statements but solid facts.
