Ever Practical Joker.
1t may be that his estimate is right,
that he does try to write seriously,
but that he has in him such pent up
force OF native fun that he cannot keep
1t from bubbling forth. The American
people remember when, - did try to
talk soberly on Chinese missionaries,
Christian Science. Imperialism and 9TH
or topics, but even then they would
not believe he was in earnest. There
are few more imaginative or better de-
scriptive writers than he, few who can
grow more indignant ut injustice, few
who can mere effectively puncture q
sham. But the spontaneous fun IN MIN
must have vent. 1t is so much part
Of his nature that it shows IN every
thing he says or does. In his letters
and private conversation it is present
as much as in his books. 1t Is even
revealed in his actions, for he has ever
been practical joker. He himself
says that he smokes all the time when
awake, but has never learned to smoke
In his sleep. 1t is the same with his
joking
"Seif Never Seems to Enter His Mind. "
There is tenderer side to his work,
quality OF pathos, and this gentlel'
vein shows forth in his home relations.
He is model host, famous for his fine
compliments, and is affectionate in all
his home relations. His sister-in-law
has said Of him that "self never seems
to enter his mind rhe wants of 9th
ers are always uppermost."
Concerning his mother, the famous
humorfst once said: -As to wit, have

Denying fault doubles it.
Envy shoots at others and wounds

Foolish fear doubles danger.

white beds are women and girls who
are awaiting or recovering from opera
tions made necessary by neglect.
Every one of these patients had
plenty of warning in that bearing down
feeling, pain at the left or right of the
womb, nervous exhaustion, pain in the
small of the back, leucorrhea, dizzi-
mess, fatulency, displacements of the
womb or irregularities. All of these
symptoms are indications of an I'M
healthy condition of the ovaries or
womb, and if not needed the trouble
will make Roadway until the penalty
has to be paid by a dangerous opera
ton, and lifetime of impaired useful
ness at best, while in many cases the
results are fatal.
The following letter should bring
hope to suffering women. Miss Luella
Adams, of the Colonnade Hotel, Seattle,
Wash, writes:
Dear Mrs. Pinkham:-
! "About two years ago was great suf-
ferer from severe female trouble, pains and
headaches. The doctor prescribed for me and
finally told me that I had tumor on the
womb and must undergo an operation if |
wanted to get well. / felt that this was my
lars for medical help, but the tumor kept
growing. Fortunately | correspondent with
an aunt in the New England States, and she
advised me to take Lydia E. Pinkham's Veg
etable Compound, as it was said to cure tu-
mors I did so and Immediately began to
improve in health, and was entirely cured,
the tunor disappearing entirely, without an
operation. wish every suffering woman
would try this great preparationrr
Just as surely as Miss Adams wasr
cured of the troubles enumerated in
her letter, just so surely will Lydia E.

from womb troubles, Inflammation of
the ovaries, kidney troubles, nervous
excifability and nervous prostration.
Mrs. Pinkham invites all young
women who are ill to write her for tree
