What 10 Happiness.

Happiness is the greatest paradox II
nature. 1t can grow in any soil. live
under any conditions. 1t defies en-
vironment. 1t comes from within: II
is the revelation of the depths of tho
inner life. as light and heat proclaim
the sun from which they radiate. Hap
piness consists not Of having. but OF
being: not of possessing. but Of enjoy.
ing. It is the warm glow Of . heart
at peace within itself. A martyr Al
the stake may have happiness that q
king on his throne might envy. Man
is the creator OF his own happiness: II
is the aroma of life lived in har-
mony with high ideals. For what .
man has. he may be dependent on
others; what he is. rests with him
alone. What he obtains in life il but
acquisition: what he attains is growth.

Albert Johnstone, who is the head of the Clan Jonnstone troupe of high land dancers with the Kilties Band. which opens an engagement at the Doris tonight is said to be the great est piper in the world. The two young women and the two young men who compose the troupe have already danced themselves into popularity. They repeat the fire dance" which in Scotland is known as the Reel-o-Tul- lOch, and which is being done for the first time in this country.
 For years Albert Johnstone was a dancing master and piper at Dundee His fame has spread over Scotland and England and frequently he is com manded by the king to come to the palace and regale his majesty with the weird instrument.
 The bagpipe is the most difficult in strument in the world to learn. John stone declares. "Tnere are only nine notes" said he, consequently one has to be very busy to make music with them"
 Tt is the work of a lifetime to be- come proficient on the pipes. 1 have been playing ever since I was a boy at school. Mere practice will not con- quer the instrument. I consider it a gift. I rarely practice, but I have carried off high honOrs in Scotland for eXpertness with the instrument, which as have said before, I consider to be largely due to natural ability"

 ms SAFE AND RELIABLE.

That the roots of many native plants, growing wild in our American forests, possess remarkable properties for the cure of human maladieS is well proven. Even the untutored Indian had learned the curative value of some of these and taught the early settlers their uses. The Indian never liked work so he wanted his Squaw to get well as soon as possible that she might do the work and let him hunt. Therefore, he dug rpapOose root " for her, for that was their great remedy for fe- male weaknesses. Dr. Pierce uses the same root-called Blue CohoSh-in his rFavorite Prescription" skillfully com bined with other agents that make 1t more effective than any other medicine in curing all the various weaknesses and painful Arrangements peculiar to women.
 Many afflicted women have been saved from the operating table aud the sur geon'S knife by the timely use ot Doctor Pierce'S Favorite Prescription. Tender ness over the lower pelvic region, with backache, spells of dizziness, faintneSs, bearing down pains or distress should not go unheeded. A course of "FavOrite Pre- scription" will work marvellous benefit in all such cases, and generally effect permanent cure if persisted in for a req sonable length of time. The "Favorite Prescription is a harmless agent, being wholly prepared from native medicinal roots, without a drop of alcohol in it's make up, whereas all other medicines, put up for sale through druggists for woman's peculiar ailments, contain large quantities of spirituous liquors, which are very harmful, especially to delicate women. "Favorite Prescription" con tans neither alcohol nor harmful habit forming drugs. All it's ingredients are printed on each bottle wrapper. It is powerful invigorating tonic, imparting health and strength in particular to the organs distinctly feminine. For weak and sickIy women, who are rworn-out," or debilitated, especially for women who work in store. office, or Schoolroom, who sit at the typewriter or sewing machine, or bear heavy household burdens, and for nursing mothers, Dr. Pierce's Favorite Prescription will prove priceless benefit because of it's health restoring and strengthening power.
 For constipation, the true, scientific cure is Dr. Pierce's Pleasant Pellets. Mild, harmless, yet sure.

DO NOT WAIT FOR THE WAGON.
But Come to Me While You Are We'll
 and Prosperous.

"Theres the wagon now" said a man sitting in the office of the board of supervisors yesterday as a one horse wagon was driven into one of the avenues toward the court house. A young man who sat by one of the windows gasping for breath wearily turned his gaze in that direction with something of painful interest in the vehicle. He was about to take the last ride he would ever take while liv ing. He was certain though of an other ride before long of which he would know nothing.
 The vehicle which came up the ave- nue was the wagon from the poor farm.
 When he was brought to the office of the board to make application for admission to the poor farm he had all ready become past speaking; he could barely whisper. He was a wasted skeleton and his clothing, the rem nants of perhaps more prosperous days, hung loosely upon him.
 Young man! You who today are well and full of life and vigor stop and consider well the foregoing.
 Have you any assurance that you, who today are well, happy and joyful may not in a few years or months, yea days, even, be waiting to take your last ride while living?
 If this poor fellow, while he was yet earning perhaps a good salary, had invested a small part of his earnings in life insurance, he would not today be a charge of the county among strangers, whtre he will spend the re- maining few days on earth. It is indeed pathetic to see a young man like the subject of this article be compelled to take up his abode in house of charity when, no doubt, he could have provided himself amply for just such an emergency as that which now has come upon him. Now while you are we'll and have the earning power come to me and don't wait for me to come to you, and ask to see our new conVertable policy which has been out only short time, ! and which no other company issues. 1 It will do you good.
