Need of an Optimistic Surgeon.

Gen. Thomas H. Hubbard was talk
ing in New York about the advertise
ment for an optimistic surgeon that
Lieut.. Peary inserted in the papers be-
fore the departure of his expedition.
Gen. Hubbard subscribed $4,000 to
the expedition, therefore it is easy to see
that he had a profound interest in it.
"Peary in his advertisement was
right" he said. 1T is as needful that
the. expeditions physician be a CHEEKY
optimist as that he be a practical
surgeon. Optimism and good spirits go
far in a voyage like this one. Perhaps
it is because there has not been enough
optimism and good cheer among men in
the past that the north pole has not yet
been found.
when it is found an optimist, COM
handing a band of optimists, will find it,
and there will be no such cynic in that
resolute and successful crew as the one
who sailed with Peary on an earlier ex-
petition.
He was indeed a cynic. Let me give
you an example OF his disposition. With
Peary one glorious night he paced the
deck. Pointing to the sky ablaze with
splendid planets Peary said
Isn't that beautiful star?
The cynic with grunt replied:
Did you ever see an ugly one| y

STRENGTHEN THE STOMACH
DR.. Williams Pink Pills Really Cure
indigestion instead of Merely
Relieving SYMPTOMS.

There are plenty of remedies by which
you can relieve for the time heartburn,
pain and gas on the stomach and can
smother nervous sensations and induce
artificial sleep. You can humor your
stomach by giving it predigested food.
But when you take your next meal all
your trouble begins afresh.
There is only one sensible thing to do.
Strengthen the stomach and do away
with the necessity for drugs and arti-
fetal foods. The best remedy ever found
for this purpose is the one that was used
by E. E. Strong, of Capleville, Shelby
county, Tenn.
"For years. he states, ct suffered
greatly from indigestion. tried many
different remedies and some of them
would relieve me for time, but the
trouble always came back. About six
months ago I had an unusually. severe
attack. and while | tried everything I
had ever heard of, found that none of
the ordinary remedies would reach the
difficulty this time.
Zone day read in Memphis paper
how DR.. Williams Pink Pills had cured a
Michigan woman, a sufferer from chronic
dyspepsia of a most stubborn type. I
then tried the same remedy and it
proved just as successful i'll my case. [
took only three boxes, and was cured. 1
have not had the slightest symptoms Of
indigestion since"
The tonic treatment has a sound prin-
ciple as it's basis, and abundant success in
actual use. Multitudes of cases that had
defed all other remedies have been cured

-MrJ: IHesIee2 furry

A nervous, irritable mother, often on
the verge of Mysteries, is unfit to care
for children it ruins a child's DISPOSE
ton and reacts upon herself. The
trouble between children and their
mothers too often is due to the fact
that the mother has some female weak
ness, and she is entirely unfit to bear
the strain upon her nerves that govern
ing children involves; it is impossible
for her to do anything calmly.
The ills of women act like firebrand
upon the nerves, consequently nine
tenths of the nervous prostra ton, ner-
vous dependency. 1.-THE blues" sleep
lessness, and nervous irritability of
women arise from some arrangement
of the female organism.
Do you experience fits of depression
with restlessness, alternating with
extreme irritability? Are your spirits
easily affected, so that one minute you
laugh, and the next minute you feel
like crying?
Do you feel something like ball ris-
ing IN your throat and threatening to
choke you /; all the senses perverted,
morbidly sensitive to light and sound ;
pain in the ovaries, and especially
between the shoulders bearing down
pains; nervous dyspepsia, and almost
continually cross and snappy?
If so, your nerves are in shattered
condition, and you are threatened with
nervous prostration.
Proof is monumental that nothing in
the world is better for nervous prostra-
ton than Lydia E. Pinkham's Vege-
table Compound; thousands and thou
sands of women testify to this fact.

Hunter Killed Sixteen Painters,

Sixteen big panthers have fallen to the
rife Of Jim Craig, a noted hunter of
Engljshman's river, Vancouver island.
Prospectors say that the big cats are
very numerous this year.
Of those which Craig shot some meas
ured ten feet from tip to tip. W. F.
Andrews of Nanaimo has recently killed
a good-sized animal, and he also reports
having como across another in broad
daylight, which effected its escape. He
was on the public road at Englishman's
River with his dogs when one animal
bounded across in front of him. His
dogs freed it, and he brought the panther
down with shot in the shoulder. He
followed the trail of another one, the
marks of which showed it to be a big
fellow, but the dogs were unable to
find it.
Passengers who took the train from
Victoria to Nanaimo day or two ago
report that they saw a panther run
ming beside the railway for some dis
tance.-Toronto Globe

Mischievous Legislation Thre atened.

Legislation is thrnatanad in many
States during this coming winter for
the suppression of the so-called pat
ent' medicines. The success of such
legislation would mean the abolition of
the home medicine chest and would
force persons, no matter how remote
their homes from a physician, to call
in a doctor for every minor ailment
The legislation as proposed would
mean frequent long delays awaiting
the arrival of physician, when a sim
pie remedy administered by member
of the household would accomplish the
result desired, or at least give tempo
rary relief

Whv Some Men Are Superstitious

There are men who have a congenital
tendency to distrust fate. With the bet
ter half of their minds they may be
optimists, but there is corner which
is never free from the pain of fear, the
fear Of a sort Of transcendental spite
Plutarch said of the superstitious that
they believed in the gods, and believed
them to be unfriendly. Some survival
Of this pagan notion remains to this day.

viction and reverent faith alike lead
them to totally opposite conclusions

misfortunes if they take a house which
is numbered IS than if they took one
numbered 81, but they avoid the former
in order to quiet their own painful mag
