RUNNING BIRD CHASED BEE.
Movements Of Couple Resembles
Flashes of Lightning.

Here is a story as told by a gentle
man who spends the greater portion
of his time studying the habits OF
birds:
A humming bird with an angry dash
expressed its disapproval of the pres
ence of a big bumblebee in the same
tree. The usually pugnacious bee In
continently fed, but he did not leave
the tree. He darted back and forth
among the branches and white bios
SONS, the humming bird in close pur-
suit. Where will you find another pair
that could dodge and dart equal to
these? They we're like flashes Of
night, yet the pursuer followed the
track of the pursued, turning when
the bee turned.
In short, the bird and the bee con-
trolled the movements of their bodies
more quickly and more accurately
than he could control the movements
of his eyes. The chase was all over
in half the time it takes to tell IL,
but the excitement OF pack Of hounds
after a fox was no greater. The bee
escaped, the bird giving up the chase
and alighting on a twig. 1t couldn't
have been chasing the bee for food,
and there is no possible explanation
of it's unprovoked attack. except that
II wanted all the honey itself.

Reception Was Costly.

Mrs. Augustus Heaton. Of Washing
ton, some time ago changed from the
Episcopalean to the Roman Catholic
church and by way of celebrating
the event decided to give a reception
IN honor of the bishop Of her diocese.
She decided, however, that her already
famous drawing-roOm was not suffi-
GENTLY resplendent to serve as a place
of reception for the bishop who was to
come and congratulate her. There
was yet time in which to make the
room more attractive and Nine. Hea-
ton, with true artistic taste, had
everything taken out of the room ex-
cept the old furniture and few art
objects. The walls before had been
covered with tapestry, but that was
not enough for a reception for the
bishop. After much thought she
finally decided on drab silk wall COW
ering. What with this and other ex-
tensive changes in the room without
the purchase of furniture Mrs. Hea-
ton got rid of $4,000.

Records Of Waqers.

Betting is neither so general nor SO
promiscuous as it was $50 years ago,
when books for recording wagers were
always kept on the tables in the much
frequented coffee houses of London.
Some of these books are still to be
found among collections of antiques,
and they make interesting reading.
All manner of bets are entered there,
on marriages, births and deaths. on
the duration of ministry, on the
length of the lives of prominent per.

A mother should come to her child's
aid at this critical time and remember
that Lydia L. Pinkham's Vegetable
Compound will prepare the system for
the coming change and start this try
ing period in young girls life without
pain or irregularities.
Miss Emma Cole of Tullahoma, Tenn.
writes:
Dear Mrs. Pinkham:
az want to tell you that am enjoying bet
ter health than 1 have for years, and owe
it all to Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Com
pound.
When fourteen years of age suffered al
most constant pain, and for two or three
years / had soreness and pain in my side,
headaches and was dizzy and nervous, and
doctors all failed to help me.
Lydia +. Pinkhams Vegetable Compound
was recommended, and after taking il my
health began to improve rapidly, and think
it saved my life. sincerely hope my expert
ence will be a help to other girls who are pass
ing from girlhood to womanhood, for / know
your Compound will do as much for them"
If you know of any young girl who is
sick and needs motherly advice ask her
to write Mrs. Pinkham, Lynn, Mass,
and she will receive free advice which
will put her on the right road to
strong. healthy and happy womanhood.

RHEUMATISM STAYS CURED
Mrs. Gotta, Confined TO Bed and In
Constant Pain, Cured by Or.
Williams Pink Pills.

Rheumatism can be inherited and that
fact proves it to be disease of the blood.
1t is necessary, therefore, to treat it
through the blood if permanent cure
is expected. External applications may
give temporary relief from pain but as
long as the poisonous acid is i'll the blood
the pain will return, perhaps in new
place, but it will surely return. DIR. Viii.
liams' Pink Pills cure rheumatism be-
cause they go directly to the seat of the
disorder, purifying and enriching the
blood.
Mrs. Henry Gotta, of West Cheshire,
Conn.,, is the wife Of the village ma
chinist. Several years ago." she says,
"I was laid up with rheumatism in my
feet, ankles and knees. I was in con-
slant pain and sometimes the affected
parts would swell so badly that could
not get about at all to attend to my
household duties. There was one period
of three weeks during which 1 was con-
fined to the bed. My sufferings were
awful and the doctor medicine did not
help me.
Zone day a neighbor told me about
DIR. Williams Pink Pills and decided to
try them. After had taken them a
short time was decidedly better and a
few more boxes cured me. What is
better, the cure was permanent"
Remember DIR. Williams Pink Pills do
not act on the bowels. They make new
blood and restore shattered nerves. They
tone mp the stomach and restore impaired
digestion, bring healthful, refreshing
sleep, give strength to the weak and make
miserable, complaining people strong,
hungry and energetic. They are sold by
all druggists, or will be sent postpaid, on
