THE IDEAL WIFE
Shapes the Destiny 81 Men-Tlle Influence Of
Healthy Woman Cannot Be Overestimafed.

(. seyen-eighths of the
men in this world marry
. woman because she Is
beautiful in their eyes
because she has the quail
ties which inspire admira-
ton, respect and love. .
There is q beauty IN
health which is more at
tractive to men than mere
regularity of feature.
The influence Of women
glorious in the possession
ofperfects physic cal health
upon men and upon the
civilization of. the world
could never be measured.
Because of them men have
attained the very heights
OF ambition; because Of
them even thrones have
been established and de-
stroyed.
Whata disappointment,
then, to see the fair young
wife's beauty fading away
before a year passes over
her headl sickly, half
dead-and-alive woman,
especially when she is
the mother of q family,
is a damper to all joyous
ness in the home, and a
drag upon her husband.

household, and too often all the doc
toring does no good.
If woman finds her energies are
tagging, and that everything tires her,
dark shadows appear under her eyes,
her sleep is disturbed by horrible
dreams; if she has backache, head
aches, bearing-down pains, nervous
ness, whites, Irregularities, ordespon-
dency, she should take means to build
her system up at once by tonic with
specific powers, such as Lydia e. Pink
hams Vegetable Compound.
This great remedy for women has
done more in the way of restoring
health to the women Of America than
all other medicines put together. It is
the safeguard Of woman s health.
Following we publish, by request, a
letter from a young wife.
Mrs. Bessie Ainsley of Gil South 10th
Street, Tacoma, Wash, writes:
Dear Mrs. Pinkham:-
"Ever since my child was born I have suf-
fered, as hope few women ever have, with
Inflammation, female weakness, bearing down
pains, backache and wretched headaches. 1t
affected my stomach so that could not en-
joy my meals, and half my time was spent

Successful Lion-Breeding in Dublin.
Few, if any, menageries in the world
can show more remarkable record Of
lion-Iearing than that of the Dublin
ZOO. From the old lion-house, which
was recently replaced by magnif-
cent building to which Lord Roberts
has given his name, lions bred within
its walls have been consigned to al
most every quarter OF the globe. Up
wards of 200 cubs saw the light in
the old lion-house, and a sum OF near
ly $4,000 resulted from their sale to-
other menageries, both at home and
abroad. One lioness, whose career in
the gardens extended over period of
Is years, gave birth in her time to
no fewer than IS cubs, which realized
the sum of ,&1,40O.

THE FIRING" OF LlSKUM.
Being an Illustrative Instance of the
Virtue of Submissive
ness,

Liskum was the "butt' of the CO.
cal' room of. the daily on which he
worked, says the Brooklyn Eagle. He
was a dried-up wrinkled little chap,
who might have been either 20 or go
years of age. Whatever went wrong
about the office was laid to Liskum
and whatever was attributed to him he
accepted without murmur, only smil-
ing a crinkly little smile that won
the hearts of the whole staff For,
joke. him as they might, every re-
porter on the paper had a tender spot
for Liskum.
One day Tompkins, the |star" re.
porter, came in to find the group about
the big stove in the local room ind:g-
nantly discussing something.
"Liskum has been tired,' some one
told him. There was a great fuss
about the Third ward story in this
mornings paper"
why, l wrote that myself" said
Tompkins. "Liskum had nothing to
do with it. And with that he start
ed for the managing editors room.
Mr.. Rockman sat by his f1at-topped
desk; Liskum stood opposite him.
Tompkins slowed down in an apollo
getic way, for lie remembered that he
had violated precedent by entering the
editors room without knocking.
Come in, Tompkins," said Mr..
Rockman. "You are just the man I
want to see''
Liskum turned his crinkly smile on
Tompkins, but spoke not a word.
Il have just dismissed Mr.. Liskum
for that Third ward story" said the
editor.
Il heard so,' replied Tompkins, "but
l wrote that story myself. He had
nothing to do with it,
Il know that" said the editor.
THAT is why dismissed him. A for
midable delegation of Third ward peo-
pie came here this morning, and made
it very plain to me that something
must be done to soothe them. knew
you were such a fiery chap it would
never do to let you face them, so l
brought Liskum in and Indignantly
dismissed him from the reportorial
staff. am just now engaging him as
assistant city editor
Liskum turned another crinkly smile
on Tompkins, and the star reporter
went back to the big stove in the city
room.
Boys" he said, 1.-The old man is all
right"

A BLACK ARROW
An Unsuccessful Seeker for Treas
ure Dreams of a HoIdup on
the Banks of the Styx.

1t was the last evening of the hunt for
the Black Arrow on Seventh Street
when I returned home tired, weary, and
unsuccessful. Whilst awaiting an
nouncement & dinner, reposing com
fortably in my armchair, before the
cheerful glow of good fire, unfolded
my copy of The Times. and began tc
peruse its pages.
l was soon back again on Seventh
Street, which, teeming with people but
a short time ago, now seemed strangely
deserted and gloomy, when suddenly
from out hallway dashed a large mar
with piercing black eyes, from which
fire seemed to dart, and seizing me by the
collar, exclaimed, you have the Black
Arrow
I started to inform him that he did
not properly put the query, that I was
on the same hunt myself; but he inter
rupted me very abruptly. exclaiming
'.No matter how I ask for it, you have
the Black Arrow, and 1 want it, With
these words he tore open my overcoat
and pulled out long black arrow about
four feet IN length, with barb and
feathers.

ANOTHER VICTIM
OF WOMAN'S WILES
This Confirmed Bachelor Is Married
Against His Will and Receives
Terrible Shock.

For over forty years I had lived a
single life. being a confirmed old bach
elor.
Many a time when the days work at
the office was done and I had returned
to my coy apartments at home while
sitting by the cheerful light of an open
fireplace, I had congratulated myself
that 1 had never ventured my bark up
on the sea of matrimouy with its
dange~e--g C;.icksauds and many tenn
pests.
One evening, few days before last
Xmas, while looking at the various
pays of lights and shadows cast upon
the wall by the burning wood in the
fireplace, recalling memories of many a
campfire scene of years long ago, heard
some one knocking at the door The
hour was late. but sometimes some of
my bachelor friends, seeing light in my
window, would drop in for a CHAT or a
social game OF cribbage, so I got up
and went to the door TO let them in
Much to my surprise 1 found four per
sons standing in the little porch. Two
men and two women.

Were Terribly Scourged With
Loaded Whips.

/ don't think I ever beheId a more
awe-inspiring scene. 1t was day, and
yet the sun seemed to have lost its
power, as in the case of a total eclipse.
Dark, heavy clouds hung far down on
the sides of the mountains, and the
winds moved restlessly up and down
the valley and through the mountain
ravines with a weird, moaning sound
tt t was terrifying. Over and over
again the lowering clouds would be
caught up by sobbing gusts OF wind
and twisted into many fantastic shapes
that in the semi-darkness seemed those
of horrible demons. Indeed, all space
seemed filled with the presence of one
great demon of which the sun, plainly
visible far off in the heavens, but Civ
ing little light. was the single eye
large and blood red.
In the town at the foot of the noun
tains a sense of impending calamity
seemed to have stricken dumb the In
habitants. It was as if they We're on
the threshold of some fearful event
that would settle for all time the desti-
MES of the people. Many men and wom-
en-, all arrayed in somber garments,
passed me. But not one bowed head
was raised Or one word spoken.

BY my side were two huge men dressed
In the costume of the Puritans of years
gone by, but with distorted and fiend-

whips with innumerabIe lashes-so many
lashes that one could hardly count them
On the end Of each lash was a round

Then out of the gloom the victims be-

Stripped to the Waist.

The executioners proceeded TO their
gruesome task One after another OF
the victims was stripped to the waist
and chained TO the post. The terrible
whips fairly shrieked through the air
and were buried in the qutYering flesh.
Horrible cries and screams of agony
arose from the sufferers. Blood spurted
as If from q fountain As each was re-
leased he passed away to the mountains

screaming and howlilg-somc moaning
