LIFE.

An infant lies in her cradle bed;
The fingers Of sleep on her eYelids fall
The moments pass with noiseless tread.
And the clock on the mantel counts them all
The infant wakes with wailing cry;
But she does not know how her life drifts by.
A child is sporting in careless play;
She rivals the birds with her merry song
The clock. unheeded. ticks away
And counts the moments that drift along.
But the child is chasing the butterfly,
ARd she does not heed how her life drifts by.
maiden stands at her lovers side
In the tender light of the setting sun.
Onward and onward the moments glide,
And the old clock counts them, one by one.
But the maidens bridal is drawing nigh,
And she does not heed how her life drifts by.
A song of her youth the matron sings.
And she dreameth dream and her eye is wet.
And backward and forward the pendulum swings
In the clock that never has rested yet
And the matron smothers half drawn sigh
As she thinks how her life is drifting by.
An old dame sits in an easy chair;
Her head is bent on her aged breast
The old clock ticks on the mantel there
The clock that is longing now for rest
And the old dame smiles as the moments fly
And thinks how her life is drifting by.

A waiting grave in the sodden ground.
The moments pass with a noiseless tread.

The lives of the two have flown for aye,
And they do not know how the time drifts by.

THREE FACTS
For Sick Women
To Consider

FRsT.-That almost every operation
in our hospitals performed upon women
becomes necessary through neglect of
such symptoms as backache, irregular
and painful periods, displacements
of the female organs, pain in the side,
burning sensation in the stomach,
bearing pains, nervousness, dig
ziness and sleeplessness.
SEooND.-The medicine that holds
the record for the largest number of
absolute cures of female ills is Lydia
e. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound.
1t regulates, strengthens and cures
diseases of the female organism as
nothing else can.
For thirty years 1t has been helping
women to be strong, curing backache,
nervousness, kidney troubles, inflam-
nation of the female organs. weak
ness and displacements, regulating
the periods perfectly and overcoming
their pains. 1t has also proved itself
invaluable in preparing women for
childbirth and the change of life.
THIRD.-The great volume of unso-
licited and grateful testimonials on file
at the Pinkham Laboratory at Lynn,
Mass, many of which are from time to
time published by permission, give alb
solute evidence Of the value of Lydia
e. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound and
Mrs. Pinkham's advice.
Mrs. Pinkham's Standing Invitation
toWomen.--Women suffering from any
form of female weakness are invited to
promptly communicate with Mrs. Pink
ham, at Lynn, Mass. All letters are
received, opened, read and answered
by women only. From symptoms given,
your trouble may be located and the
quickest and surest way of recovery
advised. Mrs. Pinkham is daughter.
in-law of Lydia E. Pinkham and for
twenty-five years under her direction
and since her decease she has been ad-
vising sick women free Of charge. Outof
the vast volume of experience in treat
ing female Ills Mrs Pinkham probably
has the very knowledge that will help
your ease. Surely, any woman, rich or
poor, is very foolish II she doesnot take
advantage of this generous offer Of
assistance.

REFLECTIONS Of a BACHELOR

A man would have all the money in
the world to feel he could afford to send
his poor relations birthday presents.
When woman hasn't written letter
20 somebody any day in the week she
feels as uncomfortable as a man who
has note coming due.
Somebody could make great fortune
inyentinR clock that ulan could turn
back three hours when he comes home
at night, and that would give the right
time in the morning.
A man has mean disposition to give
up coffee because he can't get it ft to
drink.
When woman isn't afraid to mem
tion stays before man 1t is because he
IL too old.
Hardly any girl is ever so lucky as to
be rich and have curly hair At the same
time,
Burglary is more risky business than
politics because sometimes the burglar
lands in Jail,
Nothing more Is needed to prove the
deceit Of woman than the way she can
pretend she ID having good time at a
reception.
Fibbing is very easy way not to
hurt peoples feelings.
A rich woman hardly ever gets her
moneys worth out Of the man she mar
ries.
The more taxes a man pays the mad
der he would be II he didn't have the
things to pay them on.
Ifa woman always agrees with you
she has no individuality, and II she
doesn't she is contrary minded.
A man could do lot OF good to peo.
Pile by stopping trying to do them harm.
It's mighty extravagant for man to
have two necktiee when his three boys
have only nine apiece.
There is hardly any way a woman can
have such q good time sworrying about
a thing she doesn't know whether she
needs to or not.
The best compliment you can pay to a
woman's cooking is to eat it, hut she
can forgive you for not touching it II you
tell her how nice 1t is.
No man ever won enough in a poker
game to make him stop regretting the
time he put $5 gold piece in the col

THANKS FOR FOOD,

pretty table observance in Danish
families is for children. even little ones
who can scarcely toddle, TO go gravely
after dinner to salute their parents and
say, TAX for mad"-thanks for the
meal. Even visitors shake hands with
their host and hostess and go through
the same formality. In German families
that hold TO tradition the same custom
prevails. When the evening meal is end
ed the party stands up around the table
and each shakes hands with the neigh
