WANTED MORE SNAKES.
As Means of Bringing Sinners to Re
pentance,, Minister Saw They
Were What He Needed.

In rural town in Michigan lived a
family named Beaver, noted for their
hardihood in all manner of naughti-
ness. They were the great torment
Of the minister's life. Finally, one
of the boys was bit by rattlesnake
and sent for him. He found the lad
greatly scared and very penitent.
After some conversation, the reverend
gentleman closed the interview by
prayer.
20. Lord" he began I'VE thank thee
for rattlesnakes. We thank thee that
rattlesnake has bit lin Send an
other, we pray thee, to bite Tom, and
one to bite Joe. And, o Lord, send
the biggest kind of a rattlesnake to
bite the old man; tor nothing less than
rattlesnakes will bring this Beaver
family to repentance. Metaphysical

Before I wrote to you, telling you how I
felt. had doctored for over two years steady
and spent lots of money on medicines besides,
but il all failed to help me. My monthly PEE
RODS had ceased and suffered much pain,
with fainting spells, headache, backache and
bearing-dowh pains, and / was so weak l
could hardly keep around. As last resort
decided to write you and try Lydia Z. Pink
hams Vegetable Compound, and l am SO
thankful that did, for after following your
instructions, which you sent me free OF all
charge, / became regular and in perfect
health. Had it not been for you would be
in my grave to-day.
"Isncerely trust that this letter may lead
every suffering woman in the country to
write you for help as did"
When women are troubled with ir-
regular or painful periods, weakness,
displacemento or liberation of an organ,
that bearing-down feeling, inflamma-
ton, backache, flatulence, general de-
bility, indigestion or nervous prostra-
ton, they should remember there is
one tried and true remedy. Lydia E.
Pinkham' Vegetable Compound at once
removes such troubles
No other female medicine inthe world
has received such widespread and un-
qualified endorsement. Refuse all sub
stitutes.
For 25 years Mrs Pinkham, daughter
in-law of Lydia f. Piukham, has under
her direction, and since her decease,
been advising sick women free OF

NEED TALENTED WOMAN
GIVE UP CAREER FOR
HOME AND HUSBAND ?
Mrs Ethel Watts MumfOrd Thought Not and Broke Marital
Chains That Bound Her Too Tightly.
ROOM IN HEART FOR BOTH LOVE AND WORK
Now She Has Found a and Who Promises Devotion
and Freedom TO Pursue Her Literary Duties
TO Any Extent She May Desire.

One after another the things came
into being, only to be striven for by
the publishers. But prose and poetry
did not comprise all the brilliant girls
talents. She would write a play and
she did-"The Scenario''-and the tai.
ented Annie Russell presented it. 1t
was story of Mexico and Paris-note
how the young wife kept close to the
scenes she had visited before her mar
riage.
And all the time she wrote and
wrote. Things were finished, only to
be torn up and rewritten. Other eff
forts were destroyed, never to be seen
by anyone. And all the time, too, the
boy was growing bigger and bigger,
and needing more and more his moth
er's care.
Who shall say who began the trou.
BILE?
If a vital household dispute arises,
either wife or husband must make the
sacrifice. 1t is for the outside world,
knowing nothing of what transpires
around the hearthstone, to say who
shall yield?
Mrs. Mumford wanted to write. Mr.
Mumford didn't want her to write.
There was the problem. He wanted
his wife to entertain, to go out with
him. to give him all her spare time, to
spend her energies within her home
and not between the covers of the
magazines.
Mrs. Mumford said moi" She in
sisted that she could be a good wife
and good mother, and still give rein
to her literary ambitions. Neither
side would yield. There were quar-
rels. So, after five years of married
life, in 1899, Mrs. Mumford took her
boy and left her husband alone in his
New York home. AS for her, she went
to California and acquired a legal resi-
dence there. Then suit for divorce
on the ground of desertion was
brought by the young wife; the proper
papers were served on Mr.. MumfOrd
He appeared by an attorney, but put
in no defense. In 1901 Justice Heb
bard, in the superior court, San Fran
cisco, granted the decree, and the
young wife, free now to write all she
pleased, went back to New York with
her little son, whose custody the court
allowed her.
But even in California, when the
lawyers were busy untying the knot
tied so few years before, Mrs. Mum
ford's pen was not idle. She brought

To love, cherish-and obey!


Is this a promise to be kept to the
last letter? Does it mean even the
sacrificing of talent under dictation
Must the woman give up the natural
gift at the bidding of the man, though
it may not prevent her from loving
and from cherishing?

ford, one of New York's most talented
and successful woman writer's.
Can woman who writes be, at the
same time, a good wife and a good
mother? Can woman devote herself
to art and her home at one and the
same time?
Certainly" declared Peter Geddes
Grant, broker and lover.
Mrs. Mumford agreed with him very
decidedly. So now the marriage of
Mr.. Grant and Mrs. Mumford follows
celebrated divorce case of Mumford
VS. Mumford.
Ethel Dickinson Watts was one of
the most talented daughters of the
south when she met George Dana
Mumford. Born in New York herself,
she was still the high type of south
ern girl that her mother, Mrs, d. G,
Watts, meant her to be. She was
tall, athletic, witty, vivacious, beauti-
full, clever.
Her mother, a woman of wealth,
saw that the daughters natural gifts
were not neglected. She had a fine
education, and then was sent to Paris
to finish. She studied painting I'M
der Benjamin Constant; she spent a
year travelling in Europe and the
orient. There was another year in
Japan, a long stay in the South seas,
journeys to the south and west in the
United States, and visits in Mexico
and Central America.
When Miss Watts got back to New
York, says the World of that city,
she was bubbling over with ideas
which she lOnged to put down in black
and white. And so there blossomed
out another successful woman writer.
Then came Mr. Mumford. He was
rich, good looking, a graduate of Co
lumbia, '89, and Harvard, 81, mem
Der of half a dozen smart clubs, and
well known socially in New York and
in Tuxedo. He fell head over heels

in love with the talented girl, and
she thought she loved him.
This was in 1894, when both were
very young. 1t was a quick, ardent
courtship and a beautiful wedding.
Then a delightful honeymoon abroad
and a return to beautiful home. A
little boy was born two years later
the apple of his fathers eye. 1t looked
like most happy union-this mar
riage of the brilliant southern girl and
the polished varsity man.
But here the Muses. took hand and
upset all these pretty little plans OF
Dan Cupid. The young wife's literary
bent, temporarily laid aside during
the courtship and honeymoon, again
asserted itself. Tales of adventure,
poems of the seas. romances of far
away lands-all were seething in her
brain.
And so she took up her pen again
and wrote.

with her literary work and never
wearied of praising it to his friends
so different from Mr.. Mumford, whom
it bored quite thoroughly.
Mr.. Grant frankly told his friends
he believed there were plenty of clever
women who could follow their talents
and at the same time be good wives
and mothers. He held that there
could be no incompatibility between
the art of a woman and the helpful
comeraderie of the home.
Finally the time came when he felt
that he coulG say this same thing to
Mrs Mumford. He did. His answer
was a whispered Yes" just as the
young college man, Mumford, had re-
ceived it II years before. But this
time it was a more qualified one.

OH the necessity of making a good
