The Secret of Happiness.

The man who can drill his thoughts,
so as to shut out everything that is
depressing and discouraging and see
only the bright side even of his mis-
fortunes and failures, has mastered
the secret of happiness and success.
He has made himself magnet to
draw friends, cheer, brightness and
GOOD fortune to him. His presence is
like a sunbeam on dull day.
There is no accomplishment, no
touch of culture no gift which will
add so much to the alchemic power
OF life as the optimistic habit--the de-
termination to be cheerful and happy
no matter what comes to us. 1t will
smooth rough paths, light up gloomy
places. and melt away obstacles as
the sunshine melts snow on the noun
tain side.-Success.

IDEAS THAT DRAW CUSTOM.
Proprietors of European Cafes Show
Enterprse.

In many of the European cafes OF
the cheaper order it is the invarable
custom to print the daily menu on
the napkin provided for the guest. so
that when the latter desires to study
the bill OF fare he has to raise his
serviette from his knee in order to
do so
But perhaps the most extraordinary
custom in connection with restaurant
lie is that which obtains in a certain
little cafe in the suburbs of Paris,
where every customer whose bill
amounts to % cents or over is emit
tied to receive kiss from the very
attractive young lady who acts as
cashier to the establishment.
So used has the damsel become to
the osculatory routine that she goes
through it without the slightest reti-
cence, looking upon it purely as
matter of business, and it is reported
that the proprietor of the restaurant
is more than satisfied with the result
of his curious device for attracting
patrons.
Another enterprising restauranteur
has instituted the practice of making
a present of a box of Havana cigars
every New Years day to those pa
irons who have been pretty regular
in their attendance at his establish
nent during the preceding year.

An eminent physician says that
"Women are not truthful: they will lie
to their physician" This statement
should be qualifed; women do tell the
truth, but not the whole truth, to a
male physician. but this is only in re-
gard to those painful and troublesome
disorders peculiar to their sex
There can be no more terrible ordeal
to delicate, sensitive, refined woman
than to be obliged to answer certain
questions when those questions are
asked, even by her family physician
This is especially the case with I'M
married women.
is it any wonder, then, that women
continue to suffer and that doctors
fail to cure female diseases when they
cannot get the proper information to
work on?
This is the reason why thousands and
thousands of women are now corre-
spending with Mrs. Pinkham. To her
they can and do give every symptom,
SO that she really knows more about
the true condition of her patients,
through her correspondence with them
than the physician who personally
questions them.
Ifyou suffer from any form of trouble
peculiar to women, write at once to
Mrs. Pinl1ham, Lynn, Mass, and she
will advise you free of charge.
The fact that this great boon, which
is extended freely to women by Mrs.
Pinkham, is appreciated, the thou.
sands of letters received by her prove.

AT MEM PHIS.
A Short Stop But President Is Obliged
to Address the People.

Memphis, Tenn. oct. 25.-Presidcnt
Roosevelt and his party arrived here,
tonight, al $50 from Little Rock. A
large crowd at the station loudly
cheered the President and called for a
speech. Although his itinerary called
only for Il brief stop to shift his train
to the tracks Of the Illinois Central
Railroad, the President yielded to the
insisteHce of the crowd and spoke
briefly from an improvised stand near
the tracks. He left for New Orleans
at $50.
An unexpected greeting to the
President WAS the firing of Presi-
dental salute by Gen. Peter Tracey,
who. on the Presidents former visit
to Memphis, received him at the depot
with d salute of II guns.
The trip from Little Rock to Mem
phis WAS un"ventful. The President
entertained the departing newspaper
men at dinner on his private car and
babe them cordial goodbye.
