A Disappointing Occasion.

"HOw was the lecturer" demanded
Mrs. Sawin, with the impatience of one
who had been denied a coveted pleas
ure, as Mr.. Sawin stopped to remove
his overshoes before entering the sit.
ting room. "My colds a sight better.
I believe 1 might have gone g well as
not"
II guess you did well to remain at
home" said her husband, as he seated
himself before the stove, "as far forth
as the lecture was concerned. The en-
tertainment opened with selection by
the band, then prayer by the Congre-
gational minister, then the band again,
then song by the Methodist minis
ter, accompanied by his wife at the
cabinet organ, and then the lecture;
after that the band once more, and
then the benediction by the Episcopal
minister.
''Well, what about the lecturer"
asked Mrs. Sawin. II can hear min
listers any day"
"The lecture was on Scotland" said
Mr.. Sawin, slowly. II never felt much
drawed to Scotland, and guess after
tonight l shall give up all thoughts
of ever going there. Folks that haven't
got any more idea of the English Ian
guage after all these years need
missionary, but don't feel any call to
be one. And as for their houses, there
wasn't one single good two-story frame
building in all the stereoptics that man
throwed on the sheet. If it hadn't
been for the band, l should almost
have felt I'd wasted my 15 cents ad-
mission"

Led All the Guests.

In the days of King George III. Of
England the Persian ambassador to his
court demanded, but was denied, prece.
dence over all other foreign representa-
tives. He refused to go to court, caus-
Ing 1t to be reported abroad that he
was Ill. He met the Prince regent at
the house of the Lady Salisbury of the
time. Il am very sorry to offend your
royal highness by not going to court"
he said. "Now, sir, my sovereign, he
tell me L go first; your people say 1
must go last. Now, this very bad for
me when go back to Persia" So say
ing, he made significant pass toward
his head, expressing decapitation. The
prince tried to appease him. But, sir,
you still angry with me. You have not
invited me to your party tomorrow
night" The prince explained that 1t
was only children's party, but the
might come If he chose.
He did choose, for he went and, being
the only ambassador there, led all the
guests, thus scoring heavily for Persia,
which made him comfortable about the
neck again.

Land of Twins and Trtple,s.

Scotland is the land of twins and
triplets, holding long lead over her
sister countries in this matter. In
twelve months no fewer than 1,625
mothers gave birth to twins, and twen-
ty-five presented triplets. Scotland is
among the few countries in Europe
where the proportion of male babies Is
greater than of females. Striking an
average, it is found that there are
about 1O4 males to every 100 females,
but the surplus Of grown-up girls is
nevertheless large, as so many men
travel south, and apparently neglect
to take the precautiOn to obtain return
tickets TO the land of cakes. There is
yet another interesting fact about
Scotland. 1t is the land of hale old
age Recent returns show that during
one year 673 people died between the
ages of 80 and 100.

How q Woman Was Freed from Troubles
That Had Made Life Wretched for
Many Years.
The immediate causes of headaches
vary, but most of them come from poor
or poisoned blood. In anamia the blood
is scanty or thin the nerves are imper-
fectly nourished and pain is the way in
which they express their weakness. In
colds the blood absorbs poison from the
mucous surfaces, and the poison irritates
the nerves and produces pain. In rheu-
matism, malaria and the grip, the poison
in the blood produces like discomfort. In
Indigestion the gases from the impure
matter kept i'll the system affect the
blood in the same way.
The ordinary headache-cures at best
give only temporary relief. They deaden
the pain but do not drive the poison ont
of the blood. DR.. Williams Pink Pills
on the contrary thoroughly renew the
blood and the pain disappears perma-
nently Women i'll particular have found
these pills an unfailing relief in head
aches caused by anemia.

Williams Pink Pills did me great deal

these pills became entirely we'll"
"How long had you suffered ?" she
was asked.
"For several years. I can't tell the
exact date when my illness began for it
came on by slow degrees. I had been
going down hill for many years"
"Did you have any other ailments?'
"Iwas very weak and sometimes l had
fever. My liver and kidneys were af-
fected as well as my head"
"How did you come to take the rem
edy that cured you?"
"I saw in a southern newspaper a
statement Of some person who was cured
of a like trouble by DR.. Williams Pink
Pills. My physician hadn't done me any
good, so bought box Of these pills.
After I had taken one box I felt so much
better that I kept on until I became en-

Two Kinds of Heading.

If we make the pages of our books
merely a sort Of pleasant maze in
which to set our minds to wandering
during idle hours we in reading shall
have acquired pastime that is usual
Iy harmless. But there is a vast diff
ference between such a way Of spend
Ing our time and the reading that
teaches us to think as the greatest and
wisest men and women have thought.
Words stand in our minds for certain
ideas or images. From what we read
we learn to make these plain or hazy,
clearly drawn pictures or carelessly ex-
ecuted sketches, and thus our powers
of thinking are directly trained by our
method of reading.-St. Nicholas.

while he was yet talking and telling
them Of the preparation for the change
then at hand and his willingness to
meet his Master. Soon after he was
shot. General Lee came near. When
the wounded man saw him he express

him farewell General Lee was called

Mrs. MINNIE E. McALLISTER
wi wife of Judge McAllister, writes
from 1917 West 33rd street, Mime
apolis, Minn., as follows:
81 suffered for years with pain Ia
the small of my back and right side. II
inferfered often with my domestic and
social duties and I never supposed that
would be cured, as the Doctors med
icine did not seem 10 help me any.
Fortunately a member of our Order
advised me to try Peruna and gave it
such high praise that l decided to try
it. Although / started in with little
faith, felt so much better in a week
that l felt encouraged.
Il took it faithfully for seven weeks
and am happy indeed to be able to say
that l am entirely cured.
"Words fail to express my gratitude.
Perfect health once more is the best
thing I could wish for, and thanks to
Peruna, enjoy that now"
Pain in the back, or on the right side
How often physician hears this
complaint
Over and over we hear women say:
Il have pain in the small of my back
low the ribs
These symptoms Indicate pelvic OF
abdominal catarrh.
They indicate that the bowels are not
acting properly-that the liver is out of
order-that the pelvic organs are con-
gested.
Pelvic catarrh-that is the name for it.
Peruna cures pelvic cafarrh, when
all OF these symptoms disappear.
The catarrh may be all in the abb
dominal organs, when it would be
called abdominal catarrh.
At any rate, it is one of those cases of
internal catarrh which can be reached
only by a course of treatment with
Peruna.
We have on file thousands of testi-
similar to the above. 1t is i'm
possible here to give our readers more
than one or two specimens of the num-
ber of grateful and commendatory let
ters DR.. Hartman is constantly receiv-
ing in behalf of his famous catarrh
remedy, Peruna.

Private Car Lines.

The railroads seem very willing to
have the private car lines brought un-
der the jurisdiction of the Interstate
Commerce Commission. A railroad
president is authority for the statement
that lines are paid mileage, without
discrimination, and the question of ex-
cessive charges is matter for the
shipper to settle with the car lines, so
long as there is no law to govern their
rates. Car mileage paying has been de-
cided to be as legal as the payment Of
rental for property.
