The Ladder Of Life.

All the events Of a life are necessary
to a higher development. The common
task is a round by which we climb to
glorious achievement. The ladder which
leads us to perfection is made up of
small events and small victories. In
the economy of life nothing is useless
and nothing is wasted. Everything in
its place is the best thing for that
place. Life is a law, not an accident.

Of more than $4,000 to his business.
His only consolation came through liar

Gardner, who was managing the brief
American tour of the Viennese Orches-

becoming everyday embarrassmentS,
and the venture was an utter failure
from financial point Of view. Bro

there was Imminent danger Of col

"Generosity.' exclaimed Barbara
sharply. It's sheer idiocy. Haven't

In the clubs they are betting that he
will be n pauper within year"
Yet they charitably help him to

Barbara hesitated only a moment.

Peggy was not tall, but she carried

NO USE FOR DOCTORS.

But can say II was your medicine. which no
doubt Is the best In the world. Have had no
use for doctors since tried your medicine"
DR.. Pierce's Pleasant Pellets are an
effective medicine for the bowels and
liver. They do not react upon the

The agitation of the subject Of oyster cul-
ture which has been going on ever since
Professor Brooks demonstrated lie immense
possibilities, has now reached the stage Of
action. The credit for bringing matters to
this point must be chiefly ascribed to the
persistent efforts OF Mr.. B. Howard Haman,
and on the main issue the battle appears to
be won. All interests concerned admit the
need Of legislation TO promote oyster cul.
ture, and the expectation is general that
such legislation will be enacted at the CON-
ing session OF the Legislature. Hence II is
important that attention shall now be given
TO the details Of legislation, so that as good
q law shall be passed as can possibly be de-
Vised
