Commercial Club Dance.

The Commercial club dance held at
the rooms Thursday evening takes
rank as one of the most enjoyable and
most largely attended in the history
of the organization. The Las Vegas
orchestra dispensed excellent music
until 1:30, and large proportion Of
the guests remained until the last
note had been played and even de-
parted with some reluctance. Re-
freshments Of sandwiches, cake and
coffee were served The advantage
Of fixing regular night for the club
functions is being proven by the in
creased attendance and the addi-
tional interest in the social affairs OF
the organization. A tendency, also, is
observable on the part of the enter
tainers to make no plans that will In
terfere with the club parties The
next regular club affair will be the
smoker the first Saturday in Febru-
ary, but the entertainment committee
Is preparing musicale. which will
probably be placed earlier than this.

Prophesicd Teddy's Greatness.

More entertaining, perhaps, and
equally interesting, are the anecdotes
which are told about our President by
the Minkwitz family. Frau Fischer
distinctly recollects that once she
]prophesied the future greatness OF
young Teddy. She says: zone day l
had a conversation with Mrs. Roose-
Welt, who said to me, 4 wonder what
is going 10 become of my Teddy? l
replied, You need not be anxious
about him. He will surely be one day
a great professor, or, who knows, he
may become even President OF the
United States Mrs. Roosevelt re-
buked me. She said such a thing was
impossible, and asked how l coudd
have struck upon such an absurdity.
But, perhaps IN account of my impul-
sive remark, l have since continually
watched Theodore Roosevelt's career,
and have always been glad when he
has made a step forward in the
world."-From "Roosevelt's German
Days. in Success Magazine.

A ~faultindinG, criticlsing habit is
fatal to all excellence. Nothing will
strangle growth quicker than u ten
dency to hunt for flaws, to rejoice IN
the nnlovely. like a hog which always
has his nose in the mud and rarely
looks up. The direction in which we
looks indicates the life aim, and people
who are always looking for something
to criticize, for the crooked and the
ugly, who are always suspicious, who
invariably .look Mt the worst side of
others, are but giving the world a pic
ture of themselves.
This disposition to see the worst In
stead Of the best grows on one very
rapidly, until it ultimately strangles
all that Is beautiful and brushes out all
that is good in himself. No matter
how many times your confidence has
been betrayed. do not allow yourself
to sour. do not lose your faith in peo-
pie. The bad are the exceptions; most
people are honest and + u and mean
to do what is right.-O. S. Marden in
Success Magazine.

At Lcast a Help.

"UEcle David" was an Oldtown
character, some of whose sayings
have been put into black and white
By Mr.. Norton in his sketches" Of
hal vicinity. David used to run RATS
of lumber down the Penobscot, and
was wont to boast that he always
sold to one man, and when he didn't
sell to him, he sold to somebody else"
One day Uncle David was standing
on the river bank when a stern-wheel
steamboat passed. He gazed long and
thoughtfully at the vessel, and then,
turning to a bystander, said, in a tone
of deep conviction:
THAT wheel is a great sarvice to
that boat"

continue to suffer rather than submit
TO examinations which SO many physi-
clans propose in order to intelligently
treat the disease; and this is h rea-
son why SO many physicians fail to
cure female disease.
This is also the reason why thousands
upon thousands of women are corre-
spending with Mrs. Pinkham, daughter
in-law of.Lydia E. Pinkham, at Lynn,
Mass. To her they can confde every
detail of their illness, and from her
great knowledge. obtained from years
Of experience in treating female ills,
Mrs. Pinkham can advise sick women
more wisely than the local physician.
Read how Mrs. Pinkham helped Mrs.
C. Willadsen of Manning Ia. She writes:
Dear Mrs. Pinkham:
81 can truly say that you have saved my
words. Before l wrote to you telling you
how I felt, I had doctored for over two years
steady, and spent lots of money in medicines
besides, but it all failed to do me any good. l
had female trouble and YOU dailyhave faint
ing spells, backache, bearing-down pains, and
my monthly periods were very irregular and
finally ceased. / wrote to you for your ad-
vice and received a letter full of instructions
Just what to do. and also commenced to take

and I nave been restored to perfect health.
Had it not been for you l would have been

NOBODY KNOWS.

Only a kiss on the baby's face,
Only a kiss with a mothers grace.
So simple a thing that the sunbeams
laughed,
And the bees ha-hahed from where they
quaffed.
Only a kiss, but the face was fair,
And nobody knew what love was there
Nobody knew-but mother.
Only a word to a mothers JOY,
Only a word to her parting boy.
And the changing lights on the window
shone
Az her boy went out in the world alone.
Only a word from a mother brave,
But nobody knew the love it gave
Nobody knows-but mother.
Only a sigh for a wayward son.
Only a sigh, but a hopeless one.
And the lights burned dimly and shone
with a blur
Could a mother condemn? IT'S human
to err.
Only a sigh as she took his part;
But nobody knew what it cost her
Nobody knew-but mother.
Only a sob as the tomb doors close,
Only n sob, but it upward rose.
And the lights in the window tiickered
and died,
And with them her hope, her joy, her
pride.
Only a sob as she turned away;
But nobody knew as she knelt to
pray
Nobody knew-but mother.

food eaten is digested and assimilated.
People can die of starvation who have
abundant food to eat, when the stomach
and its associate organs Of digestion and
nutrition do not perform their duty.
Thus the stomach is really the vital or
