Eggs Not Seed.

A certain corn chandler Of London
had just engaged an assistant who
hailed from little village near Leeds.
This youth was remarkably green"
and apparently 1t had been impressed
upon him by his friends in the village
that the sharp London people would
try to take a rise out of him. A Gus
toner entered the shop and when the
youth appeared said:

Men Love the Neat woman.

There is an attraction in neatness and
order all their own. Their lack Is felt
even when there is great beauty to daz-
gle the eye. know that there are men
who tolerate slack. untidy women, but
I have always regarded them as mar
tyrs to duty. mistaken in the size of the
obligation laid upon them. have never
blamed the man who Stunned untidiness
at home. be he father, husband. SON or
brother, and that, my friends, is the real
whip that drives some men from their
own fresides. The really neat woman
is neat at all times, and the slack one is
very unwise when she INDUCES her pro-
0ensities at home. Cleanliness may be
next to godliness, and certainly neat
ness Is next to beauty.lChicago Post.

OBITUARY.

Just as the morning of April 9th
was being ushered in, the angel OF
death. entered the home of Mr.. and
Mrs. Will Polk and bore away the
treasure of their hearts Dimple
Dee, their infant daughter. Twas
like rosebud, cut off from life al
most before you could see the delicate
blush of the petals.
Only two weeks before a merIier
babe could not be seen, and the fond
mother watched with smile her dar
ling as she seemed to grow stronger
and more playful as the days went by.
The baby was taken sick very S.sud-
denly, and like a flower, dropped,
withered, then passed away. While
sick no one could soothe' it's pain like
mother, and she never, but for a few
minutes at the time left its bedside,
and for most of the time the little
form was tenderly nursed in her
arms. There was no lack of NUS
ing and watching from mother,
father, affectionate brother, and de-
voted sisters, and when they realized
that the little one must be given
up, it seemed greater than they
could bear. Was it not for the
blessed assurance of that sweet here
after, sad indeed would it be. But
her going on before will only make
heaven the brighter for their coming.
so don't grieve for her, dear ones.
God, in His goodness took her from
this world of sorrow to be transplant
ed in the garden of lilies above,
and when you meet her there those
little arms will again Irvine around
your neck as of old.
The interment of the body took
place at Clear Greek cemetery Mon
day evening to await the coming OF
our Savior.

A Woman's Wealth.
Paine'S Celery
Compound
GIVES VIGOR AND
STRENGTH TO DEBILITATED AND
RUN DOWN WOMEN.

1t is maintained by many distinguished
writers that the greatness of a nation depends
much upon the physical condition Of its
women. The general conditions which con-
tribute to health and long life, are those which
do not imply a rapid and unequal exhaustion
of those powers by which life is maintained.
While we assert that the women of our land
stand peerless for beauty and the virtues that
make them lovable, we cannot hide the fact
that there are thousands in our midst who,
owing to overwork, worry, household cares,
and an unequal exhaustion of life power, have
become weak, nervous, sleepless, and debili-
tated.
We bring to the attention of all weary,
respondent, hopeless, and sickly women
earth's great rescuer and health builder,
Paine's Celery Compound. Thousands of
healthy women around us owe their present
vigor, activity, and robustness to Paine
Celery Compound. Mrs. Stephen Smith, St.
Paul, Mimi, tells how she was snatched from
the grave; she says:-
