A FABLE FOR WOMEN.
From Which They May Derive q sus-
gestiOn al to the Mismanage-
ment OF Husbands.

There was once a woman who felt that
her husband stayed out too late at night.
She therefore devised plan to cure him
of this. Her plan was to rise early in order
to insure his refining early, writes Josephine
Dashman, in Century.
"Only in this way viii he be able to get
enough Sleep" she said
Her husband, who usually endeayored to
please her, rose without complaint at six
o'clock, but continued to sthy ont late Per-
ceiving that her purpose was not accom-
p!lshed, the woman changed the hour to five
o'clock.
The morning hours are the best for
work, she said, "and understand that the
morning air possesses great virtues"
Her husband objected, but rose at five, as
she wished
:, Still he continued to come in late. Then
the woman fixed the hour at 4:30.

RISE" she said
I'm that case said her husband, de-
cidedly, II shall not go to bed at all, since
it would not be worth my while. I will
stay up all night and take my sleep at my

SHE DECLINED.
Gave the Suitor to Understand That
She Was Not in the Patch
ing Business.

Few American youth have careers made
for them. Those who deplore this fact and
shun the stdngs of self-efort may find tonic
In the reply of a western girl to an offer of
marriage, says Youths Companion.
A young man of more book-learning than
force of character lost the young wife who
had toled to support him, returned to his
native town for consolation, and found it.
Some months later she, too, passed away,
and the sad youth soon appealed to we'll
known clergyman for assistance in finding
a helpmate.
The minister introduced him to a west
ern girl of health and energy, who the next
day received plaintive note from the wild
over. He declared that the Lord had made
great inroads upon his marital affections,
and it now seemed to be His will that she
should repair the breaches of his life.
The reply, which the clergyman keeps to-
day. as one of the choicest specimens of q
varied collection, reads simply:
Mend your own breeches."

whose portrait we here publish, wrote
Mrs. Pinkham in January, 1899, saying
her daughter had suffered for two
years with irregular menstruation -
had headache all the time, and pain in
her side, feet swell. and was generally
miserable. Mrs. Pinkham promptly
replied with advice, and under date of
March, 1899, the mother writes again
that Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable
Compound cured her daughter of all
pains and irregularity.

If God would always hear

This world would be world

If all the plans we lay

In sunny days we played,

He practiced on the bar.
And when he knelt to pray
His prayer was that he might
Have tights to wear some day
He wished that he might swing
High DER the wondering throng-
And lives, to-day. to sing
And charm us with his song.
And /, in those old days,
Before the teeth of Care
Had ever torn my heart,
Made many a wish and prayer:
The one loved looked down
From womanhood on me.
And all her sutton was

Poor rustics, dull and plain,
And both were bent and gray
Thank God wished in vaini
We wish for that and this.
We pray for things and fret
Because the things we long
To have we seldom get.

And they know best. and so

Are lessened here below
