1t Did Contain A Bill.

II had never been supposed that
Mr.. Oakley would experience a change
of heart sufficient to cause him to
enlarge his regular contribution of
twenty-five cents q month to the
church at Ransom's Corners, but one
Sunday Deacon Snow felt that the
wonder must have been accomplish
ed. The new minister had preached
fervent missionary sermon. beg
ging the people of Ransom's Corners
TO do their part toward sending the
light to those who dwell afar in
heathen darkness. Just before Dea-
con Snow reached Mr.. Oakey's pew
the old man drew from his pocket a
sealed envelope, and when the box
came along he dropped the envelope
into it with half-smile on his wrin-
kled face. Il want to thank you,
Mr.. Oakley, for your generous gift"
said the minister, hurrying after the
old man when service was over.
Deacon Snow has, of course. not
opened the envelope asyet, but he tells
me there is evidently bill in it,"
Yes sir, there is" said Mr.. Oakley,
dryly. 1T seemed to me twas about
time to drop in the bill for kerosene

Miss Mdfe/fsDonoIdl

More than likely you speak the same
words yourself, and no doubt you feel
far from we'll. The cause may be easily
traced to some arrangement of the fe-
male organs which manifests itself in
depression of spirits reluctance to go
anywhere or do anything backaehe,
bearing-down pains. flatulencv, nerv-
business, sleeplessness, or other fe-
male weakness
These symptoms are but warnings
that there is danger ahead. and unless
needed a life of suffering or serious
operation is the inevita BILE result
The never failing remedy forall these
symptoms is Lydia Z. Pinkham's Veg
etable Compound

Successful Men Who Were Not Rich.

We have fallen under universal
witchcraft, declares Francis Bellamy,
In Everybody's Magazine. A sense
OF the power and luxury in money,
beyond all the wonder tales. has
suddenly come TO us. 1t has turned
our fashionable society into mater
ialism which is no longer ashamed
OF It's poverty OF ideals. 1t is hard
and morciless OF heart; il is scep-
tical of unworthy motives; its smart
est relish Is for the strokes and ruses
of the manipulators of finance In
times like these, 1t Is good to re-
member Agassiz, who refused to lee
ture at $500 a night because he was
TOO busy to make money; Charles
Sumner, who leclinod to lecture at
any prise because, ho said, as senator,
all MS time belonged to Massachu-
sets; spurgeon, who refused to come
to America to deliver fifty lectures
at VI 900 night, saying he could
do better--he could stay in London
and try to save, fifty souls; and Emer-
son, who steadfastly declined to in
crease his income beyond $1,000 be-
cause he wanted his time TO think.
Such stories OF fine haughtiness did
not seem quixotic to the young men
In college thirty years ago. A gen
erous idealism was abroad, and 1t
was unashamed.

Wise Doctor Gives Postum TO Con-

A wise doctor tries to give nature
its best chance by saving the little

ergy with simple but powerful nour-

Five years ago. writes a doctor,

Precautionary Treatment.

The Dutch peasant lives with
canals all about him, and reaches
his cottage by way of a drawbridge.
Perhaps It is in the blood of the
Dutch child. says writer in M. A.
p, not to fall into a canal. At all
events, the Dutch mother never ap-
pears to anticipate such possibility.
One can imagine the average Eng
fish or American mother trying to
bring up q family in a house sur
rounded by canals. She would never
have q moments peace until the
children were in bed. But then the
mere sight of canal tn the English
child suggests the delights of sud
den and unexpected bath.
An Englishman inquired Of a
Dutch woman. Docs a Butch child
ever by any chance fall into canal?'
Yes" she replied, Cases have
been known"
Don't you do anything Tor it?"
continued the questioner.
"Oh, yes" she answered. 1--WE
haul them oGt again"
But what I mean is" explained
the Englshman, don't you do any
thing to prevent thei: falling in?
To save them from falling in again?"
Yes" she answered, "wc spank
