Tortoise Surprised the Cook.

The tortoise is a great sleeper. One
was a domestic pet in an English
house, and when his time for hiber-
mating came he selected a corner Of
the dim coal cellar for his winter
quarters. A new cook was engaged
soon after who knew nothing of tor
toises. In a few months the tortoise
woke up and sailed forth. Screams
soon broke the kitchens calm. On
entering that department, the lady of
the house found the cook gazing in
awestruck wonder, and exclaiming
with unsteady hand she pointed to
the tortoise: my conscience! Look
at the stone which I've broken the
coal wi a winter"

A young fellow had called upon a
girl with whose charms he was some
what smitten, and was waiting in the
parlor when her small brother come
in, weeping bitterly. From either a
sense of polite precaution or natural
kindness of heart, the young man had
been kind to the little fellow on sew

his lap and asked the cause OF the
trouble.
"Sis-sister is mean to me-" the little
fellow sobbed
"Oh, guess she didn't intend to be;
maybe you worried her when she was
busy" the youth said consolingly.
What was she doing?"
she was playin', an wouldn't let
me play, too" Bobby said.

-MrJ. EHes/erIurry

A nervous, irritable mother, often on
the verge of Mysteries, is unfit to care
for children; it ruins child's DISPOSE
ton and reacts upon herself. The
trouble between children and their
mothers too often is due to the fact
that the mother has some female weak
ness, and she is entirely unfit to bear
the strain upon her nerves that govern
ing children involves; it is impossible
for her to do anything calmly.
The ills of women act like a firebrand
upon the nerves, consequently nine
tenths of the nervous prostration, ner-
vous dependency, " the blues" sleep
lessness, and nervous irritability of
women arise from some arrangement
of the female organism.
Do you experience fits of depression
with restlessness, alternating with
extreme irritability? Are your spirits
easily affected, so that one minute you
laugh, and the next minute you feel
like crying?
Do you feel something like ball ris-
ing in your throat and threatening to
choke you; all the senses perverted,
morbidly sensitive 10 light and sound /;
pain in the abdominal region, and
between the shoulders; bearing down
pains; nervous dyspepsia and almost
continually cross and snappy?
If so, your nerves are in a shattered
condition, and you are threatened with
nervous prostration.
Proof is monumental that nothing in
the world is better for nervous prostra-
ton than Lydia f. Pinkham's Vege-
table Compound; thousands and thou
sands of women can testify to this fact.

The New State
of Oklahoma

Bigger than Missouri; as big as Ohio and
Indiana combined, with a soil teeming with
all the crops that any State raises,
OKLAHOMA-the new State-is destined
to occupy first rank in few short years.
Here at the present time over a million
people are duplicating the life which is
going on in Illinois and Indiana. Their
houses, their towns and their schools are
newer but in nothing else do their sur.
roundings differ from those in our States.
Their cities and towns are growing and ex'
banding with the impetus of fertile soil,
and a pushing, wide-awake citizenship.
Her settlers mainly from the older States,
see the virtue of encouraging enterprises ct
every kind and the needfulness of getting
more and better facilities; of getting moro
hands to develop the country.
In brief, conditions to-day are simply
these: OKLAHOMA is in need of nothing
save people. More men are needed in tho
cities and towns; more farmers for the vast
areas of unimproved land not now yielding
crops of which it is capable, There are
openings of all sorts, for farmers and
artisans, for mills and manufacturing
plants, for small stores of all kinds.
