He had heard %colloquial errors at his

boiling. When two people agree to
marry, it is wise for them to remember
that they will need bread and meat,
a roof and raiment, and something OF
an income to go upon,. if they are to
maintain a home. A girl should not
resolve to accept a rich sutton whom
she does not love, because in that case,
his wealth will never fill up the aching
void in her heart. But neither should
she take. the poor man whom she does
love, unless she sees in him an ability
to work. steadfastness and courage. the
resolution to put something by for a

that will enable him to provide for his
own. In the experiences of life it. some
times happens that a light-hearted
young fellow of Wills type does this
as successfully as a sober and Flooding

to his proposal quite so readily, but
now he was fairly. forced to- carry it
out. He stepped down to the running
board and retired to the unoccupied

After he was settled he remembered
that he had left. the bunch of daisies

at her side, hurl the poor little flowers

The railway was for the most part
single-tracked. At one Of the occa-
sional 'sidings the car halted. After
a few minutes wait the conductor
went forward, and the passengers on
the front benches heard portions of a
%colloquy between him and the driver.

The conductor returned to his W
platform and rang the bell. The car
resumed it's journey. but it's speed soon
increased beyond anything that had
been shown hitherto. Some of tn:
passengers were beginning to look I'm.
easy when, from around a curve not
far ahead, there came another car.
That, too, was behind time, and both
we're travelling at a perilous speed. The
drivers reversed and put on the brakes,
but they were too late to prevent the
inevitable crash.
1t was a bad wreck. Eustace, being
at the rear, was among the lucky ones
who escaped anything worse than a

He took her in his arms and carried
her away from the debris and con-

With his light overcoat rolled as a
pillow for her head he laid her in the
tall grass. and very gently began to
examine the hurt ankle. It was not
broken, but had got a bad wrench. He
found water near by and removing the
shoe and stocking, bathed the injured
member and finally b~andaged it with
his handkerchief. Meanwhile she had
regained consciousness. Sitting down,
he readjusted the overcoat and took
her head in his lap. For some mo-

than any living person.
Over n hundred thousand cases of
female diseases come before Mrs. Pink

Ing on for twenty years, day after day.
Surely women are wise in seeking
advice from a woman of such expert

Mrs. Pinkham never violates the con-

the written consent or request of the

may be benefited as they have been.
Mrs. Fred Seydel, of 412 North 54th

Dear Mrs. Pinkham:-
cover year agoI wrote you letter asking
advice, as I had female Ills and could not
carry child to maturity. I received your
kind letter Of instructions and followed your
advice. I I'M not only a well woman in con-

wish every suffering woman in the land would
write you for advice, as you have done so
Just as surely as Mrs. seydel was
cured. will Lydia E. Pinkham's
Vegetable Compound cure every
woman suffering from any form Of
female ills.
No other medicine in all tho world
has such a record of cures of female
troubles as has Lydia E. Pinkham's

Put Them to Work.

Just why the inmates of the state pen
itentiary, who have been sentenced to a
term of years at hard labor, should be
prevented from performing that labor we
are at loss to understand. Nearly all
other states keep their prisoners at work.
The warden of the penitentiary says the
prisoners must have work or they will
lose their minds, and it is well known
that nothing breeds insanity like idle
ness, and yet from the labor unions has
gone forth the edict that the Colorado
prisoners must spend their incarceration
in idleness while the state pays the bills.
It's about time some one with little
tirmness should set things to going to
remedy this evil which should never
have had an existence. -Glenwood Post.

"Dont's" for Parents.

Do not tell the teacher that Willie will
not lie. She probably knows better
Do not plead lack of time to visit the

Do not forget that the parent owes
duty to the teacher just as surely as the
teacher does the child.
Do not expect the teacher to manage
without friction child whom you your
self have never been able to control
Do no; believe all your children tell
you about school There was only one
George Washington and he is dead.
Do not forget that the teachers inter
est in your child is personal. She will
do more to help him than any one except
yourself.
Do not condemn the teacher without a
fair hearing. That is accorded even the
worst criminal. There are usually two
sides two story.
Do not reproach the teacher with the
fact that "Tommy has not learned sin
gle thing the entire year. She is not to
blame for his lack Of brains
Do not send verbal request to have
Jennie's seat changed. There is often
no vacant seat and the change usually
means half dozen.
Do not send scathing note to the
teacher by Nellie, the contents of which
she knows. Her aggressive look of til
umph is not soothing and the teacher is
only human.
Do not make unfavorablc comment
upon the methods Of the teacher in the
presence of your child. Send him to
carry in the wood while you are doing
SO, if it must be done.
Do not expect the teacher TO under
stand Jimmie's disposition the first day.
You have studied it for six years and
there are still kinks in it which you have
failed to straighten out.
Do not fail to make allowances for
slight exaggeration when hearing of
pranks at school. They strive to stimu-
late the imagination at school nowadays,
but hardly in that direction.
Do not accuse the teacher of undue
favortism. If she is kinder TO one child
than to another it is because that one
does not take advantage of the liberty
allowed him. This is simply justice.
Do not insist that the teacher is keep

will not risk her reputation as an IN
