while you and Eleanor get ready.
You'll come, won't you?"
The fresh young voice had carried
grandma back to the happy days when
she had fitted over the ice, avowedly
the best skater in the little town.
But that was long ago; she would
not know how to stand on the ice
now, much less skim over it. She
stifled the longing to try her skill
once more, and shook her head.
"You are very kind to invite me-"
she said. "and l appreciate it very
much indeed, but l fear that my skat-
ing days are over"
Clara was not a girl to be easily
thwarted; besides, she had seen the
first look of yielding in grandma's
eyes.
"Of course you could not skate in
that long skirt" she said, thought
fully.
II have one that's just the right
length for her." Eleanor interrupted,
eagerly. You see, I'm quite as tall

Every mother possesses information
which is of vital interest to her young
daughter.
Too often this is never impaired or is
withheld until serious harm has result
ed to the growing girl through her
ignorance of natures mysterious and
wonderful laws and penalties.
Girls over-sensitiveness and modesty
often puzzle their mothers and battle
physicians, as they so often withhold
their confidence from their mothers
and conceal the symptoms which ought
to be told to their physician at this
critical period.
When girls thoughts become slug
gish, with headache, dizziness or a dis
position to sleep, pains in back or lower
limbs, eyes dim, desire for solitude;
when she is n mystery to herself and
friends, her mother should come to her
aid, and remember that Lydia e. Pink
hams Vegetable Compound will at
this time prepare the system for the
coming change, and start the menstrual
period in young girls life without
pain or irregularities.
Hundreds of letters from young girls
and from mothers, expressing their
gratitude for what Lydia Z. Pinkham's
Vegetable Compound has accomplished
for them, have been received by the
Lydia E. Pinkham Medicine Co., at
Lynn, Mass.
Miss Mills has written the two fol-
lowing letters to Mrs. Pinkham, which
will be read with interest:

AFTER FORTY-TWO YEARS.
A Bayonet Hidden Under a Fence il
1868 Is Found by Veteran
in 1905.

S. f. Bell, well-known citizen of
Mansfield and soldier of the civil war,
brought home from Mississippi with
him relic of the war he highly prizes
and the character of which is rather
remarkable.
While attending the dedication of
the Ohio monument at Vicksburg Mr..
Bell made a trip 10 Bakers Creek,
near which place, February 5, 1868,
during an engagement, he was severely
wounded.
He had been carried to the side of
the road to await removal to the hos
pital, and while lying there he removed
his bayonet from the scabbard and
concealed it Inder rail. Shortly
afterward confederate troops came
along and he was captured.
He had always desired to return to
the place and find that bayonet, and
upon the occasion of his recent visit to
VicR sburg he went to the old battle
field. The fence had been removed, but
on the same farm he found an old
colored nanny" who resided there
the morning of the battle and still
lived there.
From questioning her he found that
she and her "old man" had torn down
the fence number of years ago and
they had found the bayonet which he
had concealed over AZ years ago.
1t was brought out, and, though It
was rusted and corroded, he was able
to identify 1t aS the one he had So
creted after the battle, and he has
added 1t to his collection of war relics.

A PSALM OF FARM LIFE.

Tell me not in broken measures
Modern farming does not pay,
For the farm produces chickens,
And the hens-do they not lay?
Eggs are high and going higher,
And the price is soaring fast;
Every time we get TO market
1t is higher than the last.
Not a coop but 1t produces
Every day an egg or two;
So each farmer gains his millions,
Even though his hens be few.
Every egg is very precious,
And the hens are held in awe;
When hen begins to cackle,
Then the farmer goes "Haw, hawF"
In the broad and busy farmyard
Struts a rooster now and then,
But the shrewd, bewhiskered farmer
Only notices the hen.
Trust no rooster. howe'er snowy
Be the feathers in his tail;
Pay attention to the biddies,
And your wealth will never fail.
Lives OF farmers all remind us
We may roll in wealth some day.
If we hustle to the market
With the eggs our pulle;s lay.

This morning young Mrs. Hoyt had

How 70 Meet Trnnh1e.

Don't be easily cast down, and con-
clude that just because a few things
go wrong you are a blighted being
with nothing to live for. Put your
shoulder to the wheel and say: Il will

If you wish to achieve any success
in life, the surest way to do is by
keeping at whatever your appointed
task may be with unfiagging interest
and energy. Don't sponge on your
friends simply because they assure
you you are perfectly welcome" to
what they have. If at the end of the
day you feel discouraged at your lack
of progress don't sit down and lament
over it; find out your mistake and try
to do better next day.
When most tempted to whine and

who in the face of the darkest trials
bears up for their sake, and you will

you find the bright one, for weeping
may endure for a night, but joy COM

Happy Girlhood.

There should be no happier time in
a girls life than the years from four
teen to twenty. She should have no
serious responsibilities during those
years, though she should not be per-
mitted to give up her time entirely to
frivolity. She has much to learn, and
her character is usually in such a
formative state that these years may
be the making o. 10 marring of her
whole life There can be no laying
down of hard and fast rules for this
age. Individual needs must be con-
sidered always, and solicitous parents
must remember that something must
be left to the girl herself, and that
too close supervision IS as bad as too
little. There is no need to be diScOur-
aged over the number of foolish fan
cies which the girl will take up at this
time, for they are transitoly, and in a
few years she will be the first to
laugh at them. The chief things are
to lay the foundation for q true, wOm-
anly character and make her girlhood
so happy that she would be only too
glad to live it over again.

Successful Women.

1t has been wisely suggested, SAYS
the st. Louis Christian Advocate. that
the women who succeed are those who
so to their work with a determination
born of courage and positive convic-
ton, and whose energies are absolutely
treless. 1t is true they are often not
SO well paid for the same work as
men, but that is one of the mistakes
Of the day that will soon be rectified.
Those who fail are usually those who
expect too much and presume on ac-
count of their being women. There is
plenty of work and money for the
sharp woman who will fight every diff
Guilty. Everybody loves fighter,
whether it be man or woman; fight
ers who see nothing but success at
the other end Of the long road fight
ers who believe in themselves and
their efforts, and who plan their daily
battles as general plans campaigns:
fighters who are brave. above board
and generous in the struggle-these
are the heroines of daily life, and they
command success and respect by thor
oughly deserving it.
