Some Odd Ways In which Women
Earned II.
The women folk OF the Methodist
church at Oxford recently set out to
earn money for certain church pur-
poses, and a meeting was held at
which each woman or girl recited the
method by which she had earned her
contribution, says the Boston Journal.
Some Of the recitals were funny
enough to convulse the audience, and
few are epitomized as follows: Miss
Mary Dobbs started out to do some
janltor work, but got tired and sub
contracted the job, though saving for
herself margin of profit. Mrs. M.
Collins said that one day her husband
was tearing around the house hunting
for his overshoes and said he would
give a half dollar to know what had
become Of them. She told him she
had sold them to the ragman, and
demanded the half Mrs. Bay kalso-
mined her own house and saved the
dollar which an old colored man de-
manded for the job. Miss Zulu Cole
engaged in a great variety of employ
ments. She got cents for washing
Mrs. Middleton's dishes, 10 cents for
doing some sewing for her sister,
cents from her uncle for keeping her
mouth shut five minutes, cents for
killing three cats. 15 cents for sweep

THE CENTURY WILL BRING.

The pendulum Of the ages swings by
centuries.
We have swept outward to the end
Of the arc and are beginning the return.
At the end of each hundred years 1t is
time to balance accounts. 1t is a time
when men reckon up the movements
Of the past and ask themselves: What
Of the future? The nineteenth century
has accomplished much, yet 1t is but an
earnest proof of what will be accom-
plshed by the twentieth. In the past
hundred years the progress has been
individual and material; in the next
hundred years it will be social and
spiritual. In the former it was to-
ward political liberty; in the latter 1t
will be toward industrial liberty. The
century was prolific In dis
coverles in the realm of physical sci
ence; the twentieth century will be
prolific in the discoveries in mental
science, which lies behind the physical.

gives tho story In his own words as
follows!
Il have been sufferer for many
years with Kidney and Liver Trouble
and have tried many remedies, some Of
which gave me temporarily relief and
others which were absolutely worth
less. ! began TO think that there waR
no help for me, when my nephew gave
mo part Of box Of Dodds Kidney
Pills which he had left, saying that II
would do no harm to try them, as they
had certainly fixed him all right, What
he gave me helped mo 10 much that
felt justified in purchasing more, and
grew slowly better, 1t took almost
two months to effect complete cure
as mine was very bad case, but I can
cheerfully and truthfully say that | am
well man today, and | am very
grateful that Dodd's Kidney Pllll
were thus brought to my notice"
The wonderful cures effected by
Dodds Kidney Pills in Iowa have cre'
ated quito a sensation in some partl
Of tho state. There does not seem to
be any case OF Lame Back, Rheuma'

these wonderful Pills cannot cure
