Don't be so cruel; it isn't like you"
"Eh? What?" Col. Hamilton was
slightly startled by her sudden attack
He had thought his idea rather a good
one. If Baverstock had earned the ut.

only fit that every additional effect
should be given to it. II said he should

dreadfully!"
Her father looked at her with a
quaint helplessness.
Did anybody ever hear the like?'
he demanded. Am commanding this
battalion in the absence of my superior
officer, or am not? Will anybody tell
me?"
"Your one commanding officer is
shooting big game in Travancore," said
his daughter, charmingly. But the
other one is here, and she insists that
you obey her"
There was a faint clap and applause
from the subalterns.

with mock indignation, ''1'll tell Ath'

better hand the regiment over to you
You seem to have taken the head OF

''The mischief is in a girl when she
wants her own way and means to have
it," groaned the colonel.

Where Looks Don't Count.

II visited Miss Marie Corelli when I
was in Stratford," said young wom-
an. "She lives in quaint house OF
dull red brick. She is very pretty and
very rich and she likes Americans.
Miss Corelli was full OF fun. She
talked about woman's over-regard for
appearances. She said that she her
SELF was too prone to think that, if ap-
pearances were all right, everything
was right.
Once, in her childhood, Miss Cor
ELI said she was yachting on the Eng.
fish coast.
LAS the yacht sped along there was a
sudden swerve. and the helmsman
said:
"'By Jove, I believe she's broken
her rudder.'
"'Oh, WE'LL said the young girl,
what does it matter? It's under wa
ter, and I'm sure nobody will notice
it,"
He sprinted down the pier, his eyes
fixed on the ferryhoat only two OF
three feet out from the pier. He
paused but an instant, and then cheer
ed on by the amused crowd, made Z
flying leap across the Intervening
stretch of water and landed safely on
the deck
A fat man happened to be standing
on the spot where the other landed
and they both went down together.
When the newcomer had sufficiently
recovered his breath he apologized tt
the fat man. Il hope I didn't hurt
you," he said. II am very sorry. But
anyway, caught the ferry!"

Wouldn't That Jar Your,

A little girl living at Rochester, ILL.,,
had been taught to say her prayers
down on her knees before her bed ev-
cry night before retiring. She always
wound up by saying God bless nam
ma God bless papa" and SO on
down, enumerating each member in
the family.
One night her mother was sewing in
the room while the little tone was pre-
pairing for bed. She said her prayers
as usual, and got into bed. She had
been in bed only a few minutes when
out she jumped, kneeled in front OF
her bed and said:
"Oh, Lord, I forgot grandma;
wouldn't that jar you?"

Women suffering from any form of
female weakness are invited to promptly
communicate with Mrs. Pinkham, 1t
Lynn, Mass. All letters are received,
opened, read and answered by women
only. A woman can freely talk Of her
private illness to woman; thus has
been established the eternal confidence
between Mrs. Pinkham and the women
of America which has never been
broken. Out of the vast volume Of
experience which she has to draw from,
it is more than possible that she has
gained the very knowledge that will
help your case. She asks nothing in
return except your goodwill, and her
advice has relieved thousands. Surely
any woman, rich or poor, is very foolish
If she does not take advantage of this
