A WORD TO MOTHERS.
Take Time from Your Homework to
Enjoy the Soulful Things
of Life.

Come back into the life of thought
again! Read and converse with family
and friends. Get out your music, and
practice again at the piano and organ.
Go to church on Sunday even if the
Sunday dinner must be plain as con-
sequence. Take time to think, says Ada
c. Sweet, in Woman's Home Compan-
ion. Concentrate into little time the
necessary home work; master it, and
do not let it master you. Choose what
shall occupy your thoughts, what shall
engage your tongue and what shall
take up your time. Stop living in the
small teacup round of housework and
neighborhood society. Live with your
children. That is the only way you
can live for them. Enter into their
higher life. Learn to foster the first
sparks of generous ambition, and to
fan into a glow the early and feeble
glimmerings of deep feeling. Give
up what is small, and see that you learn
to know great from small and to choose
wisely. Art, literature and music, all
the refnements of intellectual and
emotional being, stand ready for those
who invite them in.

sight, Donald had not been given his

''What will soften it?" asked the
anxious laird.
"Och, just whislly!" said Donald.
A tumbrer of whisky was at once

TRADED WITH HIS WIFE.
Man Whose Better Half Was
Stylish.

There is a man whose business re-
quires a large number of delivery
wagons. He has always made it a
rule to have good horses for the
wagons. When the announcement
was made that horses with locked
tails were no longer fashionable the
business mans wife was much an
noyed because the handsome team of
high-steppers she had for her car
rage were short as to tails after the
fashion of recent times, says the
Cleveland Leader.
She wanted to be in style and asked
for new team for her carriage. Her
husband was a wise business man.
He took two well matched horses
from his delivery wagon service and
had them ''slicked up" in livery and
sale stable for a week or so. Then
he had them taken out to his resi-
dence by the horse dealer with whom
he did business for the inspection of
his wife. She thought they were just
the thing, their tails being all that
fashion or flies could require. The
next day they were in the stable, and
may be seen pleasant days in front of
the handsome carriage of the busi-
ness mans wife. The team she for
merly used is engaged in the prosaic
work of the husbands business de-
livery service. So small a thing as
the style of horses tails determ' ned
the fate of the four horses and
pleased the woman of fashion, for she
has not yet guessed the reasonable
terms on which her husband obtained
the long-tailed carriage team for her.

NOTES OF THE MODES.
Attractive Features of the Newest
COstumes-A Charming Even
ing Bodice.

A novel Elton jacket model has the
cloth collar shaped in five circular lay
ers, each bordered with a narrow
stitched band of the same fabric,
edged with tiny line of black and gold
braid. The white satin vest is trimmed
with lines of this braid, arranged di-
rectly down the front of the vest in
V-points, each V being finished with
tiny loops and small gold button, says
the Chicago Daily News.
A "fourreau," or sort of narrow
loose princesse dress, is often made
of wide meshed tulle or piece lace, COW
cred with a tre1lis work of velvet rib
bon. Princesse dresses of striped silk,
with colored floral bouquets on white
ground, are made en- princesse at the
back and loose in front.
How particular women are getting
IN the matter of hats! And they are
really learning to put these on proper
ly. Certain hats must be always tilted
well forward. There is nothing quite
so vulgar as a toque worn at the back
of the head, when it is intended by
the French milliner to be worn we'll
forward.
Ermine is alarmingly scarce, owing
to the great demand in the market for
this regal fur that will play such an
important part in the dress grandeur
of King Edwards coronation. So the
woman who happens to have piece,
or, better still, set of ermine, may
consider herself one of the fortunates.
More than one girl has found YER
liable prize hidden away in grandma
attic of treasures.
A charming evening bodice is that
which is made in white accordion
plated chiffon with bolero and elbow
sleeves of fine white mousseIine de
sole, embroidered with silk spots in
black and white and trimmed with
strappings of black velvet ribbon
brought down to point on either side
both back and front and secured with
tiny diamond studs. This bolero is
edged throughout with a vandyke APP
plique insertion of fine black chantilIy
lace, the same lace appearing also on
the sleeves, which are finished at the
elbows with soft frills of white chit
fon. In the center of the front there
is rosette bow of black velvet rib
ron, fastened with four small Diamond
studs.

DO YOU GET UP WITH A LAME BACK?
Thousands of Women Have Kidney
Trouble and Never Suspect it.
To what The Kidney Remedy will do for YOU
reader of this a sample bottle
free by mall

Women suffer untold misery because
the nature of their disease is not al
ways correctly understood; in many
cases when doctoring, they are led to
believe that womb trouble or female
weakness of some sort is responsible
for their ills, when in fact disordered
kidneys are the chief cause of their
distressing troubles.
Nervousness, headache, puffy or
dark circles under the eyes, dragging
pain or dull ache in the back, weak
ness or bearing down sensation, pro-
fuse or scanty supply of urine, fire.
quent desire to pass it night or day,
with scalding or burning sensation,-
these are all unmistakab1e signs of
kidney and bladder trouble.
DR.. Kil1ner's Swamp-Root, the great
kidney, liver and bladder remedy,
stands the highest for its wonderful
cures of the most distressing cases.
A trial will convince anyone.
If there is any doubt in your mind as
to your condition, take from your urine
on rising about four ounces, place it in
a glass or bottle and let it stand twenty
four hours. If on examination it is
milky or cloudy, if there is a brick
dust settling, or if small particles float
about in it, your kidneys are in need
of immediate attention.
When the heart is acting badly, have
you ever thought that it may be due to
kidney trouble, as is often the case?
Other symptoms showing that you
