The Benet,t OF Fairy Tales.

1t is very reasonable to argue that no
creation of human fancy could last as
fairy tales have lasted through no one

sands of years unless it was very good
For that which is not good and not
sound must surely die. and only that
which is good and sound shall last
through the grinding of the ages.

their children's imaginatons full Of
fairy tales if they would make those
imagnations strong and healthy. AS

AsIt Looked on the Map.

OF every hundred tourists who visit
the Canary islands quite seventytive
are British. Naturally, therefore. the
natives of the Canary islands take q
great interest in everything which af-
fects England. 1t is perhaps pity
that their general ignorance is not a
little less appalling, but their very dis
regard for accuracy lends & certain
charm To their conversation. A man
in BARRIERS shop pointed to dilapi-
dated map of the world which was
nailed to the wall. and, putting his fore
finger upon Spain. he exclaimed: If
war breaks out, Spain must retake

Too Advanced For Him.

In Chicago there is principal of one
of the public schools who in his college
days was considered something of a
shark at Latin and at many other
studies besides. What he did not know
about physiology was hardly worth
knowing. He was grind and a
scholarship man.
His little girl, aged six, is now a
pupil at the experimental school at the
university. where she learns many
things out of the order of public school
education. Recently she fell and hurt
herself. Her father found her crying.

More than likely you speak the same
words yourself, and no doubt YOU feel
tar from we'll. The cause may be easily
traced to Some arrangement of the fe-
male organs which nanifests itself IN
depression of spirits, reluctance to 90
anywhere or do anything, baclsache,
bearlng-down pains, tlatulency, nerv-
business, sleeplessness, leucorrhea.
These symptoms are but warnings
that there is danger ahead, and unless
needed life of suffering or IL serious
operation is the inevitable result.
The never-failing remedy for all these
symptoms is Lydia e. Pinkham's Veg
etable Compound.

Dear Mrs. Pinkham
:" think that woman naturally dislikes to
make her troubles known to the public. but

with uterine trouble and irregularities,
which made ME a physical wreck and no one
thought would recover, but Lydia e. Pink
hams Vegetable Compound has entirely
cured me, and made me well and strong, and
feel it my duty to tell other suffering women
what splendid medicine it isl
If you are i'll, don't hesitate to get

Rail Road News.

Rumor has it that the track will be
taken up from Extra north and new
road built from Extra west to Elkhorn
and kimballton. Should this be so,
it would seem little strange as with
the factories now in Audubon and the
canning factory about to be built here,
one would naturally conclude it could
be made a paying Investment if it is
not doing SO at present. Probably the
interurban road could ill the bill as it
could handle the mails, farm produce,
etc.

Washington. April 21.-Secretary

has planted an oak sapling near the
east gate in the White House grounds.
The sapling was grown on the secre-

picked up by him in st. Petersburg
while he was ambassador TO Russia.
The oak which produced the acorn was
planted in st. Petersburg many VARS
ago by a prominent Russian, who
brought the acorn from under an inn
mense oak near the door Of the Wash

Bapling of the same origin was planted
in the same place by the secretary a
year ago. II died last winter.
