Blessed is the poor man, says an ex.
change. Pickpockets never bother
him, and road agents give him the
wide berth. The tax collector never
hounds him, No body tries to borrow
and no one asks him to endorse. If
the bank breaks he can grin and bear
it like q man. He never runs head
over ears in debt, and is not harassed
by litigation. Burglars never invade
his premises and he sleeps in peace.
When he dies nobody questions his
will or attempts to coniiscate his
bones Blessed therefore are poor in
pocket, for they always get their
moneys worth Hampton Globe.

What Bh5 May Expect.
The Coal Of Love is Marriage
and the Goal of Marriage
is Maternity.

When young man and young woman
are very much in love every step of life
they take is timed to the music of the
wedding march. The happy consumma-
ton may be years away, but down the
path of the years the clear eyes of love
discern the spot which some day they
shall call home. And when the mar
rlage is consummated and the home
founded another thought begins to fill
the minds of wife and husband, a
thought that lies too deep for words
the thought of cooling baby voice, Of

marriage, and marriage looks to mother
hood, what is the plain and obvious duty
of the woman about to assume the obi

1t is her duty to prepare herself for her

She Suffered for Years and
Felt Her Case Was Hope

Mrs. Judge McAllister writes from
1917 West 3Srd ST., Minneapolis, Mimi.
as follows:
Il suffered for years with a pain in
the small OF my back and right side,
II interfered often with my domestic
and social duties and / never supposed
that | would be cured, as the doctors
medicine did not seem to help me any.
Fortunately a member Of our Order
advised ms to try Peruna and gave 1t
such high praise that | decided to try
1t, Although | started in with little
faith, | felt so much better in q week
that | felt encouraged.
II took it faithfully for seven weeks
and am happy indeed to be able to say
that / am entirely cured. Words fail
to express my gratitude. Perfect health
once more is the best thing l could
wish for, and thanks to Peruna enjoy
that now.'-Minnie +. McAllister.
The great popularity OF Peruna as a
catarrh remedy has tempted many
people to initiate Peruna. A great
many so-called catarrh remedies and
catarrhal tonics are to be found in
many drug stores. These remedies can
be procured by the druggist much
cheaper than Peruna. Peruna can only
be obtained at a uniform price, and no
druggist can get ii a cent cheaper.
Thus Ii is that druggists are tempted
to substitute the cheap limitations OF
Peruna for Peruna. 1t is done every
day without a doubt.
We would therefore caution all peo-

would discover that his grandmother's
clothing was getting shabby, or that
there was some expensive food or cor
dial in the market that would please
her; and then his money would melt
away. But 1t did not matter, he would
tell himself consolingly, la grand'nere
was getting old and needed these
things; there was plenty Of time.
So he saved more money, and spent
it for the grandmother; and boarded
again, and again lavished 1t on the
grandmother. But all the time he was
working and studying and thinking, He
bought books when he could, and bor-
rowed books and pamphlets from the
free library, and from an old physician
who was becoming interested In hin.
And this same old physician took him
to the hospital and explained cases;
and occasionally even allowed him to
assist in the work. At eighteen, Flerre
had q general knowledge OF hospital
practice. and his unframed course or
reading had been shaped and made use
full by the advice and companionship
of the old physician. But there was
much yet for him to learn, and o

spending a few years in a good med
ical college.
He was earning steady wages now as
clerk in a drug store, but the grand
mother was getting more feeble, n

for her comfort. The college was q

We call the attention of our readers
to the advertisement of st. Mary's
Academy, which appears in another
column OF this paper. We do not need
to expatiate upon the scholastic adyan-
tages OF st. Mary's, for the catalogue
of the school shows the scope of work
included in Its curriculum, which is
OF the same high standard as that OF
vassar and Bryn Mawr, and is carried
out faithfully in the class rooms. We
simply emphasize the spirit OF earnest
devotion which makes every teacher
OF st. Mary's Loyalty strive to develop
each young girl attendant there into
the truest. noblest. and most intelligent
womanhood. Every advantage OF
equipment In the class rooms, labora,
tories and study rooms. every care in
the matter Of food and clothing. and
exceptional excellence OF climatic con

Suddenly he jerked forth his hand

couple became the target OF half a
hundred searching eyes. She blushed
