Confused by the Orders.

In Amesbury many French Cana
dams are employed in the various car
riage factories and mills, and occas-
ionally in the lumber yards and farms
of the neighborhood, says a writer In
the Boston Herald The struggles with
the English language give rise to
many amusing anecdotes, and the fol-
lowing came to my notice not long
ago:
A Frenchman named Peter was en-
ployed by a farmer to help out on
chores. One morning he was seen
standing with an axe in his hand be.
side a tree he had Just cut down,
scratching his head and looking very
much perplexed.

erby called out.
Peter answered at once: "Mr.
Mason he tell me, cut this tree down;
now he tell me, cut it up. What kin

When the Sunshine Falls.

Preach that gladness is duty, preach
that doubling is a SIM
Preach that courage Is the only thing a
man may need to win;
Tell the one whose look is rueful that he
ought to cease to frown,
That he owes 1t to his Maker to put
doubt and sorrow down
But it's hard to scatter sunshine over
people when they know
That the dentists waiting for them and
they'll have to CO.
You may easily have courage when the
clouds are thick above,
You may still go bravely hoping when
you've lost the one you love!
You may feel that God will guard you
through the storm that sweeps the
seas,
Or at least appear courageous though the
strength has left your knees,
But you can't fool anybody with a glad
look when you know
That the dentists waiting for you and
you'll have to so.
Oh, the morning may be rosy and the
Zephyrs may be sweet
With the fragrance of the blossoms that
are blown around your feet;
There may be a thousand reasons why
your look should not be sad,
And you may, indeed, remember it's your
duty to be glad,
But let others scatter sunshine, II they
want to, when you know
That the dentists waiting for you and
you'll have to go.

and investigating mind, an earnest
seeker after knowledge, and above
all, possessed of wonderfully sympa-
thetic nature.
In 1s43 she married Isaac Pinkham,
builder and real estate operator, and
their early married life was marked by
four children, three sons and a
daughter.
In those good old fashioned days it
was common for mothers to make
their own home medicines from roots
and herbs, natures own remedies
calling in physician only in specially
urgent cases. BY tradition and eX-
perience many of them gained Won
derful knowledge of the curative prop
critics of various roots and herbs.
Mrs. Pinkham took great interest
in the study of roots and herbs, their
characteristics and power over disease.
She maintained that just as nature so
bountifully provides in the harvest
fields and orchards vegetable foods OF
all kinds; so, if we but take the pains
to find them, in the roots and herbs
of the field there are remedies ex-
pressly designed to cure the various
ills and weaknesses of the body, and
it was her pleasure to search these out,
and prepare simple and effective medi
cines for her own family and friends
Chief of these was a rare combina.

hams friends and neighbors learned
that her compound relieved and cured
and it became quite popular among
them.
All this so far was done freely, with
out money and without price, as q
labor of love.
But in 1873 the financial crisis struck
Lynn. Its length and severity were toe
much for the large real estate interests
of the Pinkham family, as this class
of business suffered most from
fearful depression, so when the Centen
NAL year dawned it found their prop
erty swept away. Some other source
of income had to be found.
At this point Lydia E. Pinkham''

HAD UNDEREsTIMATED HIS MAN.
One Occasion When Landlord Failed
To Reach Limit.

One Occasion When Landlord Failed
To Reach Limit.
Fifty years ago the landlord of the
hotel at Kingston Plains. N. H., was a
man by the name of Hoyt. He kept
an excellent house, but charged his
guests on a sliding scale, graduated
to their means or inclinations to pay;
or, as he phrased 1t, "got as near the
kicking limit as it was safe to-"
One afternoon prosperous looking
stranger, with fine equipage, drove
up and registered for the night. Hoyt
studied all night on what it would do
to charge him, and when he prepared
to depart, and asked for his bill, NAM
ed pretty stiff price.
The stranger paid the bill without
a murmur, complimented the landlord
on the excellence of his hostelry, ask
ed him If he had any good cigars, In
vited him to join him in smoke at
his expense, and remarked that when
he came that way again he should Ger
tainly stop with him.
AS he drove away, the landlord look
ed after him until he passed from
view, with face in which the emo.
lions of regret and chagrin were
strongly depicted, and gave audible ex-
preston to his thoughts as follows:
Cad, I guess he would have stood
another half a dollar"
