AWFUL AGONY
The Story of a Stricken Woman

The story OF Mrs Nellie nj Hedden,
of No. 02l Summit avenue, Connera-
Vile, Ind, contains an important les
son for many American women who
suffer in silence rather than face the
ordeal that the usual treatment of
their troubles entail. 1t is a story
that rings with honest gratitude and
does not tell half the misery that the
narrator endured. Other women who
are suffering as Mrs. Hedden did will
know how to understand and appreciate
much that cannot be told in news
paper article. Mrs Hedden's expert
ence is best given in her own words.
She says:
''For nearly year l endured ter
rible agony caused by general
breaking down of the nervous BY

and short of breath. My circulation

SURGERY WITH A MATCH.
4 Painless Operation That Surprised
Bookstore Clerk.

An aged, we'll dressed man with white
side whiskers and a general appearance
of substantial prosperity and eminent re-
spectability stepped into the retail store
on Fifth avenue of n book publisher the
other day and asked one of the young
clerks in confidential undertone:
Have You a match? ?"
Certainly. sir, replied the young man,
producing a handful of lucifers from his
vest pocket, but you will permit me 10
say that it is against the rules to smoke
In this shop"
"Oh, that's all right" replied the old
gentleman amiably. II never smoke.
With that he began to tumble in his
pockets. Not finding what he wanted, he
asked the clerk for the loan of knife
Then he lit the match, blew it out imme-
diately and began to sharpen the burned
end into a point.
.'Ah, see, You need toothpick,' re-
marked the clerk as he watched the whit
Ting process.
The old gentleman made no reply, but
when he had put a nice point to the
match he again spoke.
Perhaps" he said, you have a quiet
place where | could sit down for few
moments without being obseryed?
The clerk, wondering what the old gen
tleman might ask for next, politely LED
the way to corner of the store fitted
with easy chairs for the benefit of sucl
patrons of the firm as might want t.
glance over book before buying it. TIL,
old gentleman sat down and without q
moments hesitation rolled up the left lee
of his trousers to point above the knee
Then, using the back of the knife as q
hammer, with a few we'll directed blows
he drove the match into his knee. Then
readjusting his trousers, he handed tn,
knife back to the astonished young maj
and said:
Il am very much obliged to you. Yol

house which they had long been occupy

they laughed about it and talked of the
sacrifices they had made to accomplish 1t

A good story is told in Missouri at

or. Claiborne Il. Jackson. Before he
solved TIE enigma of loyelock he had
married five sisters in reasonable

wife had been lost and appropriately

liked the family.

FAME AND POVERTY
Have Walked Hand-in Hand Through
Herbert Spencer's Career.


Herbert Spencer. whose name will
i've In the world of thought as that of
one of the nineteenth century's greatest
thinkers, has recently passed his S1st
birthday. After lifetime of self-sacri-
fee and priyatlons, the great philoso-
pher finds himself at the threshold of
the grave almost as poor III worldly
possessions as when he started the ca
reer that has brought him so much
fame, but so little pecuniary recogni-
tion. There Is something almost pa
thetic in the life-work of man like
Herbert. Spencer. The son of a school
master, Mr.. Spencer was educated very
largely at home by his father, though
he also went to a school at Bath, the
head-master of which was his uncle.
From 1887 to 1916 he piled the profess
sion of a civil engineer, and for five
years later acted as sub-editor of the
Economist before he turned to the
work with which his name will always
be identified.
1t Is as a popular philosopher that
Herbert Spencer seems to hold. his rep
utation, and yet one must read the &C
count of his self-sacrifice and privation
before one can realize the tremendous
battle which the best known philoso
pher of this century fought before he
found any readers at all. Social
Statics," certainly rather unhandy
book, took fourteen years to sell, al
though the edition ran only to 100
copies. The Principles of Psycholo
