The Change Of
Life

Is the most important period in wo-
mans existence. Owing to modern
methods Of living, not one woman in
n thousand approaches this perfectly
natural change without experiencing
train of very annoying and some
times painful symptoms.
Those dreadful hot flashes sending
the blood surging to the heart until it
seems ready to burst, and the faint
feeling that follows, sometimes with
chills, as if the heart were going to
stop for good, are symptoms of dam

A Winning Hand.

n,el the most serious occasions may
have humorous incidents that can be
appreciated after the period of anxiety
has passed. During the severe illness
of Mrs. Mckinley in this city, squad
of policemen were stationed on all
the streets leading to the house where
she was staying, to prevent the ap-
proach Of persons having no business
there. A dignified gentleman residing
on one of the quarantined blocks, when
on his way home to dinner, approached
one of these guardians of the peace
whose Milesian extraction was un-
questionably stamped upon his face.
The policeman stopped him and asked
where he was going. "Home," replied
the gentleman; IL live at 2222 Blank
street." -Four deuces, is it," said the
policeman, with twinkle in his eye;
that's a good hand. I lay mine down.
You can go."-San Francisco Chron-

ONE CAUSE FOR PRIDE.
A plue Ridge Mountnineer who Could
Pray Better Than He Gould Do
Anything Else.

The mountaineers of the Blue Ridge
are illiterate in secular learning, but
ycl seldom find a household that is
not well posted in Scripture history.
While they may not be able to read
the text, they can quote passages from
the Old and New Testament without
number, are eager for theological con-
troyersy, are powerful exhorters and
fervent in prayer. Some OF the most
effective preachers can scarcely read
or write. Their language is rude, but
inspired by deep emotion. Northern
people have told me that the most e.o-
quent prayers they ever listened to
were offered by uncouth, uneducated
mountaineers. That is matter OF
pride with them. Men who can pray
eloquently and carry on theological
controversies with credit are quite as
highly esteemed as those who excel in
the use of the rifle or in athletic sports,
says w. +. Curtis, in the Chicago Rec
ord-Herald.
One day a boy who had been taken
up by a charitable family to be fed
and clothed and educated in a proper
way was being discussed with some
visitors. Forgetting that ..,e child
was present, his benefactor described
the squalid home that he came from,
the poverty, the ignorance and the pri-
vations of his parents. The boy was
not without pride and loyalty to his
own family, and, looking up with
determined spirit, he said:
"Mrs. Phillips, did you ever hear my
father pray?'
"No," the woman answered in sur
prise; "does he pray well?"
"Well," replied the boy. confidently.
II reckon he can pray better'n he can
do anything else"
