The lie Said" Girl.

Did you ever notice trio or group
of little girles between the ages of
thirteen and sixteen chattering away
and promenading to and fro? The
next time you happen near such a
pair or group listen and hear if
about every tenth word is about
what 'sbe said" If it is, you have
found some more of the she said''
girls, and they are not the incest
little girls in the world. The ''be
said" girls are likely to loiter down.
downtown after school too late to
help their mothers with the after
noon work. They are likely to wear
better clothes than their fathers CAL
afford, 90 that the neighbors wonder
what their mothers can be thinking
about. The she said" girls also too
often think more of the boys than of
their books, and frequently fail to
get through school. They are in for
q good time, and have nothing in
their heads but halrplns and two
steps.
Sometimes nature takes girl out
of the she said" family and makes a
fine woman of her, but generally she
gets to going out to parties and is
developed before her time, and either
marries and fades at twenty or hangs
on after all the other girls are mar
ried of, and takes generation after
generation Of young boys to raise by
hand, and becomes known as ''grand-
ma" in the crowd.
There is nothing so sweet as q
simple, frank, opeD-bearted girl.
But the boy.strrck girl is an abomi-
nation. The whole matter rests
with the girls mother. She can
either bring up one of the ''he said"
girls or she can have a daughter to
be proud of.-Emporia Gazette.

About rheumatism.

There are few diseases that indict
more torture than rheumatism and there
is probably no disease for which such a
a varied and useless lot Of remedies have
been suggested. To say that it can be
cured is, therefore, bold statement to
make, but Chamberlain's Pain Balm,
which enjoys an extensive sale, has met
with great success in the treatment OF
this disease. One application Of Pain
Balm will relieve the pain, and hum
dreds of sufferers have testified to per-
manent cures by its use. Why suffer
when Pain Balm affords such quick re-
lief and costs but trihe? For sale by
