Mis- KofeMlonoId,

More than likely You speak the same
words yourself. and no doubt you feel
far from well The cause may be easily
traced to some arrangement of the fe-
male organs which msnifests itself in
depression of spirits. reluctance to go
anywhere or do anything. backache,
bearing-down pains, fiatulencv, nerv-
business. sleeplessness, or other fe-
male weakness.
These symptoms are but warnings
that there is danger ahead. and unless
needed q life of suffering or serious
operation is the inevitable result
The never failing remedy for all these
symptoms is Lydia Z. Pinkham's Veg
etablc Compound.
Miss Kate Mcdonald OF Woodbridge,
N. j., writes:
Dear Mrs. Pinkham:
90 Restored health has meant 80 much to me
that cannot help from telling about 1t for
the sake Of other suffering women.
"a For a long time | suffered untold agony
with a female trouble and irregularities,
which made me physical wreck. and no one
thought would recover but Lydia L. Pink
hams Vegetable Compound has entirely
cured me. and made the well and strcng. and
feel it my duty to tell other suffering women
what a splendid medicine 1t is
For twenty-five years Mrs. Pinkham,
dsughter-in-law of Lydia + PinkhAn.
has under her direction. and since her
decease. been advising sick wonsn free
of charge. Her advice is free and
always helpful. Address, Lynn, Mass.

THE LADIES AID SOCIETY
we'veFput some ane improvements on the
good old church at home,
It's Just the latest kilter, with gallery and
dome:
1t seats thousand peopie-hnest church In
all the town,
And when It was completed we Planked ten
thousand down:
That is. we paid Ave thoussnd-every deacon
did his best
And the Ladies' Aid society, it promised all
the rest.
We've got an organ in the ehurch-very finest
in the land,
IT'S got thousand pipes or more, tie melody
is grand;
And when we sit on cushioned pevs and hear
the master play,
IT carries US to realms of bliss unnumbered
miles away,
1t cost a cool three thousand, and its stood
the hardest test;
Wen pay thousand on 1.-THE Ladies Aid
the rest.
They'll give hundred soeiables, eautatas,
too, and teas;
They'll bake a thousand angel cakes, and tons
of cream They'll freeze;
They'll beg and scraPe and toll and sweat for
seven years Of more,
And then they'll start all over for carpet for
the floor,
No, il isn't just like digging out the money
from your vest,
when the Ladies' Aid gets busy and says.
wen pay the rest"
OF course, we're proud OF cur big church.
from pulpit mp to spire;
1t is the darling Of cur eyes, the crown of our
desire,
But when see the sisters work to raise the
cash that lacks,
somehow feel the church is built on
women's tired backs.
And sometimes can't help thinking, when
We reach the regions hlest,
That men win get the toll and sweat and the
Ladies'i Aid "the rest.

~ REV. s. II. DOYLE.
Topic.-A strong WIN; how TO get II and
use It for TEN perance.-I Pet Nv. ILL
Chrlstierlty demands that we be
temperate in all things. and temper
nnce In many Instances should mean
abstinence. The apostle Paul was
constantly urging the gentle Chris
tians, who had been accustomed to
live sinful and wicked lives, to give
up sin. lie did not suggest that they
indulge in 1t moderately. but that they
abstain absolutely from ii. And In
the reference before US the apostle
Peter follows the same line. He
teaches us that we should cease from
sin, tnat we should not live in the flesh
TO the Iasts of men and that we should
be sober Perfect sobrIety demands
total abstinence.
In order to meet the high demands
made rpon us by Christianity as in-
terpreted by the apostle it is necessary
for us to have strong wills, a control
over ourselves such as will make 1t
possible for us TO do or not do as we
may elect. There are few things sad
der in life than weak willed men; men
who can easily be led astray; men who
have little power TO resist temptation;
men who are like clay to the potter in
the hands of those who would lead
them to ruination and destruction. \
clean life demands a strong will A
strong viii is necessary to the person
who has never fallen into sinful habits.
He needs to be strong to withstand
temptation. Temptations come 10 all.
To what young person has not the
tempter come, denouncing virtue and
painting the path Of vice in glowing
colors: And If the unspotted are to
keep themselves unspotted from the
world, they must have sufficient power
of will 10 say no 10 every siren voice
of temptation and to stand by that po-
aition. Men reformed from evil habits
also need strong wills. Satan never
easily gives up his victims. Every re-
source at his command will be used 10
replace the shackles of vice that have
been broken. Intensest cravings for
Che habits Of the past will be excited
8uu ne VINO Nout1 slauu I4lsA luuGtu
be strong.
Under such necessity for strong wills
u Is most fortunate that we need not
depend entirely upon ourselves. God is
able and willing to strengthen us. His
will can replace our wills, and then no
power ON earth or in he'll can lead us
into temptation. How foolish and vain
Cor us to depend upon ourselves alone
when we have divine power at our
eommand. The strongest human will
nlone is weaker than the weakest hu-
man viii supplemented by the will
and power Of God. Let us not, there
fore, stand in our own strength. but
IN the strength of God: and. in His
strength. let US ''be sober and watch
unto prayer"

A TRANSPARENT Fiction.

The late Clarence H. Clark OF Phil
adelphia had one of the finest private
libraries in the world. Mr.. Clark was
an authority on incunabula and on
first editions.
A Philadelphia auctioneer once sub
mitted to Mr.. Clark copy Of Dickens
Little Dorrit." The auctioneer said
that the owner of the book claimed
that it was a first edition, and he
wished to know if the man spoke the
truth.
Mr. Clark examined the work. Then
with a smile he said:
THE owner spoke the truth to the
same extent as friend of mine once
did on his honeymoon.
Starting with his bride on the hon.
eymoon my friend entered a railway
Office and, as always in the past
bought only one ticket
'The bride noticed the oversight at
once.
Why, you only bought one ticket,
dear she said
"'By Jove!' the fellow answered.
I forgot all about myself"

Resume Of the Weeks

Tuesday,.

Washington, May 80. - The after
math OF Mondays filibustering, ending
in the arrest and haling before the
house of a number of members in or
der to complete quorum, came in the
house of representatives yesterday on
the approval of the journal. A num-
Der of the members who were arrest
ed by the sergeant-at-arms during the
call of the house last night were still
in a savage mood yesterday when the
house convened and they had personal
reasons to assign why they were alb
sent on roll call.
When his right to direct the issu-
ance of the writ of arrest was attacked,
the speaker, following an exposition OF
the rules, terminated further argument
by asserting that "the gentlemen had
been legally arrested"
The senate yesterday passed the
postOffice appropriation bill carrying
an appropriation of $192,4S5, 900, and
Immediately afterward adjourned over
Memorial day until Thursday. The
entire day was devoted to the consid-
Grafton of the bill as a whole lad to
special features of the bill.
