Treating Wrong Disease.

Many times women call on their family
physicians, suffering, as they imagine,
one from dyspepsia, another from heart
disease, another from liver or kidney
disease, another from nervous exhaustion
or prostration, another with pain here and
there, and in this way they all present
alike to themselves and their easy-going
and Indifferent, or over-busy doctor, sep
arate and distinct diseases, for which he.
assuming them to be such, prescribes his
pills and potions. In reality, they are all
only symptoms caused by some uterine
disease. The physician, ignorant Of the
cause OF suffering, encourages this prac-
tice until large bills are made. The suf-
fering patient gets no better, but probably
worse, by reason of the delay, wrong
treatment and consequent complications.
A proper medicine Ike DR.. Pierce's Fa-
vorite Prescription, directed to the cause
would have entirely removed the disease,
thereby dispelling all those distressing
symptoms, and instituting comfort in
stead of prolonged misery. 1t has been
well said, that "a disease known is half
cured"

Eaton staggered out of her pres
ence, dazed and stupetied. When the
affairs of the firm were checked up it
was found that Pixley had overdrawn
his account so seriously as nearly to
wipe out his interest. His fast life
and his losses at the gaming tables
had eaten into money much more than
anybody suspected. Eaton simply
wiped out the overdraft and sent Mrs.
Pixley a check for an even half of
what was left. Then he received an
other blow. She wrote him cold
note acknowledging the receipt of the
check and stating that Mr.. Pixley had
informed her that his interest in the
business was worth certain sum,
many thousar is of dollars in excess
of the amount of the check; that OF
course the business was wholly in his
hands and that she had no appeal
|" from his decision; that robbery Of
widows and orphans would be wholly
il accord with his course of action
in other directions; that she consider
ed the entire matter now closed and
was thankful that she need have no
further communication with the
nemesis who had pursued her dear
husband to the grave.
ut nearly drove Eaton to suicide
because he still loved her with all the
ardor of his unselfish soul and cared
more for her good opinion than for
that of all the rest of the world put
together.
81 reckon he would have committed
suicide but the utter injustice of the
letter aroused his anger. He sold the
entire business and sent her a check
for the exact difference between the
amount he had sent before and the
amount she named in his letter. 1t
| took his entire fortune and since then
he has done a modest little business
making just about enough to support
himself in comfort and has lived with
out ambition, lonely, bitter, future

Perkins whistled softly:

GREAT POETS ONE WITrIcIsM.
Wordsworth Seemingly Unduly Proud
Of Simple Joke.

A rare old book, called The Living
Authors of England, published in 1S49,
commences with study of Words
worth, in which is recorded what is
said to be the only joke the poet ever
made. At friends house, after din
ner it appears, the conversation turn
ed upon wit and humor. Thomas
Moore, who was present, told some
anecdotes of Sheridan wbereupon
Wordsworth observed that he did not
consider himself a witty poet-"in-
Decd he said, 81 do not think | was
ever witty but once in my, life"
Being pressed to tell the company
what this special drollery was. the
poet said, with some hesitation: well
l will tell you. I was standing some
time ago at the entrance of my cot
tage at Rydal Mount when man ac-
cOsted me with the question, Pray,
sir, have you seen my wife pass by?'
whereupon answered, Why my
good friend l didn't know till this
moment that you had wife!'
The company stared and upon realiz'
ing that this was all there was to the
poets joke, burst into a roar OF laugh
ter, which Wordsworth smilingly &C
cepted as genuine compliment to
the brilliancy of his wit.

Delays are dangerous. Don't wait I'M

Disease develop in your system, and

whats the matter with Eaton
was he ever jilted?' asked Perkins
lighting a fresh cigar and gazing
curiously at the receding figure of the
confirmed old bachelor of the club
as he walked into the dining room.
"Why?" asked Brown HAS he been
showing you bunch of sour grapes?"
well, should think SO" replied
Perkins "came in and said he had
heard I was about to be married and
was sorry he couldn't congratulate
me. Was compelled to offer me his
deepest commiseration instead. When
began to bride said he didn't know
the lady so there was nothing person
al about it but wanted to record his
warning that no fellow ever knew
anything about woman anyway and
when he married just put his foot In
trap Might be reasonably happy,
he said. but if SO it was purely
happenstance as no man could fathom

Perkins. at must been aplenty."
at is strange story" said Brown
"You see Eaton and Ed Pixley were
old college chums and about as close
as any two fellows ever were and
went into business together, Pixley &
Eaton it was, and very successful
firm. Well about the time they got
their business started in fine shape
and were ready to clean up and real
lie big money Pixley fell in love with
Edith Morton and married her. Well
| ii seems Eaton who was Edith's sec
| ond cousin or something of that sort,
had been heels over head in love with
her, himself for years but had not
| pressed his suit. When the announce
| ment of her engagement With Pixley
was made it nearly broke his heart
| but the marriage did not estrange him
from Pixley. He didn't lay it up
against him but came out beautifully;
did the bless you my children, bless
you, act and all that. He settled
down to business harder than ever
and the firm simply leaped to the
front. After the first blush of the
honeymoon was over Pixley took a
new hold too and they just tore
along.
"Well, money began to come easy
and Pixley got tangled up with lot
of pretty swift fellows in business
way and being a zociable, convivial
fellow, liked the pace. AS conse-
quence he began to spend more of his
spare time at the clubs and card
| tables and one place and another then

flde her troubles to him and with his
great admiration and his knowledge
that PiXley was drifting the wrong
way not only in his marital affairs but
in business also-he was losing vast
sums in gambling and neglecting bust
ness sadly-he was in full sympathy
In the meantime Pixley, resenting his
wife's expostulations and her growing
coldness, threw his anchors overheard
and got into almost open relations
with another woman-maintaine an.
other establishment and all that.
Finally Eatons sympathy with
Mrs. Pixley got the better of his dis
erection and he called Pixley to the
carpet. 1t was a fierce session, IL
rumor is to be believed for Pixley was
a high headed fellow and Eaton was
no baby when aroused. He told Pix
ley the plainest truths one man can
tell another and did not mince his Ian
guage. Pixley invited him to mind
his own business and the matter got
very close to pistols-there would
have been a duel, they say, If Eaton
had not borne in mind the awful
scandal which would have resulted
and refused to fight even under the
provocation of being called coward.
He knew that Mrs. Pixley's name
would surely have been dragged into
the matter and endured the last humil-
iation a brave man can accept in
order to prevent that.
"Pixley plunged still deeper into his
designations, practically deserted his
family and lived almost openly with
the other woman. Things got into a
beautiful muddle with domestic, bust
ness and friendship involved, when
Pixley had the grace to get shot in
quarrel over cards. He fingered for
few days and died, Eaton taking
care of him and doing everything a
man could do for him. Before lie died
he sent a letter to his wife expressing
deep contrition for his sins and beg
ging her forgiveness.
when it was all over Eaton went
to the widow and offered his assis-
lance in Strengthening out the estate
and in any other way she might
choose to use him. Like everything
else he felt it was "a great blessing to
her to have the unfaithful husband out
of the way. Do you think she felt
that way about it? Bless you no.
She just flung her head back and
blamed all her troubles onto Eaton.
at is all your fault, sir, she said.
Il. is you who came between my hus-
band and myself-for what selfish
purpose you best know yourself but
1t is easy to guess. Edward was a
proud man and you drove him to all
his excuses. drove him away from

Be Ready for Instant Battle.

A man should keep his mind up to
the standard; he should keep it dis
ciplined and ready for action. To do
this it must be trained, drilled every
day in mental tactics, so that it will
be strong, vigorous and alert, ready
to act in an emergency with the maxi
mum efficiency of which it is capable.
What condition for sea fight would
our navy be in If we, for five years,
dropped all gun practice and allowed
all the naval officers and sailors to do
as they pleased and have good
time.
Your mind is your personal navy.
Your faculties are your ships and
men; and If you are not ready for
life's great battle, ready for an emer-
gency, how can you expect to con-
ouer when the crisis comes success.

He was kind and indulgent husband

with the preponderance constantly

Vitality of the Ant.

Ants have a wonderful power OF ex-
listing long periods after losing I'M
portant parts Of their bodies which
are not reproduced. They have been
known to live two weeks without the
abdomen, which is so bulky in proper
ton to the rest CT the insect. Under
the most favorable circumstances an
ant may live more than month after
its head had been cut off. One case
is recorded in which the rest OF the
ant moved about forty-one days after
decapitation. Ants also revive after
being submerged in water for many
days, although they seem to be dead
a few minutes after they are Inn
mersed.
