With a sunbonnet over my eye.

But what do I care about that?
I'd rather chase flies on my four little

And be just plain fur-dressed cat.

To give me that saucer of cream,
But these horrid old bonnet strings

And dragged off the milk in a
stream.

If sunDonnets are call the CO."
I'd rather just chase my tail once in

Than to be all dressed up here for

Till I'd gotten quite rid of this horrible
dress,
And the bonnet I'd give big scare.

DID A WORLD OF GOOD
Or. Williams Pink Pills Cure Heart
Pains Dizzy Spells and
Weakness.

Easy to get. hard to get rid of: that is
what most sufferers think of dyspepsia
They are astonished when their stomach
begins TO trouble them seriously.
They had been eating hurriedly and
irregularly for long time, to be sure,
but they supposed their stomachs quite
used to that.
Some people know that the strength
which the weak stomach needs, and FOR
the lack of which the whole body is suf-
fering, can be found surely and quickly
in DIR. Williams Pink Pills. In hum
dreds OF instances these pills have sue
ceeded where other remedies failed
"My indigestion" said Mr.. j r. Mil
Ter, of Dayton, Va, "came in the first
place from the fact that few years ago
l worked a great deal at night, and ate
at any odd hour whenever the chance
came, and always very hurriedly. One
day found myself victim of terrible
dyspepsia. 1t kept me miserable all the
time for several years
$ always had great deal Of distress
after eating, and when | got up from my
sleep my stomach would be so weak that
1t would hardly take any food. | had
very uncomfortable feelings about my
heart, and was dizzy and, whenever
stopped over and then Strengthened up,
my eyes would be badly blurred.

sons who had got rid of obstinate stom-
ach troubles by using DR.. Williams
Pink Pills. l bought some and they
did me world of good They acted
promptly and did just what was claimed
for them. l have no more distress af-
ter meals; the bad feeling has gone from
the region of my heart; the alarming

AN ASPHALT LAKE.

There are blue lakes and silver
lakes but an asphalt lake is the best
of all'' said a contractor.
81 visited the famous asphalt lake
of Trinidad. 1t looks like a great
black swamp surrounded with a
fringe of cocoanut palms. A little
railway runs across it, and men stand
in it working, some on asphalt firm
enough to support them, some on
asphalt in which they keep sinking
down an inch or two minute, some
on asphalt so soft it is like quick
sand.
THE stuff looks like cross be-
tween black mud and pitch. The
lake is 10 acres in size, and its
depth is tremendous. The thick as
phalt, mixed with water, moves a lit.
tie, and now and then an old tree
comes slowly up from the depths.
The men work with pickaxes, digging
out the asphalt in Jumps the size of
pumpkins.
"An asphalt lake is the rarest AMI
most valuable kind to own. woul l
rather own one than either Como,
or Maggiore, or Geneva, or Lucerne."

why He OPPOSES co.eaueation.

An objection to co-educational col.
leges which has not been much heard
of in public is stated by a professor
in one of them. He has taught there
q dozen years and at first was a
strong advocate of the. system. Now
he says he would like to see women
banished from the university or would
like to receive a call to a mans uni
versity. And the reason he gives is
what he calls the American woman's
passion for turning everything into a
social affair. This professor describes
in detail the social functions of the
women's side of the college, the de-
velopment of the taste for formal
society, the dress parade, as he re-
CARDS it, and closes with the declar-
alton that the few who can take high
rank as students viii before long go
abroad, where women students really
apply themselves to study and DO not
think about society at the same time.

restore the family fortune. They
argued that the medicine which was
so good for their woman friends and
neighbors was equally good for the
women of the whole world.
The Pinkhams had no money, and
little credit. Their first laboratory
was the kitchen, where roots and
herbs We're stepped on the stove,
gradually filling gross of bottles.
Then came the question of selling
II, Tor always before they had given
| 1t away freely. They hired a job
printer to run off some pamphlets
setting forth the merits of the medi-
cine, now called Lydia e. Pinkham's
Vegetable Compound, and these were
distributed by the Pinkham sons in
Boston. New York, and Brooklyn.
The wonderful curative properties Of
the medicine were, to great extent,
self-advertising, for whoever used il
recommended it to others, and the de-
mand gradually increased
In 1877, by combined efforts the fam
lily had saved enough money to COM
mence newspaper advertising and from
that time the growth and success of
the enterprise were assured, until to-
day Lydia L, PinlSham and her vege-
table Compound have become house.
hold words everywhere, and nany
tons OF roots and herbs are used annu-
ally in its manufacture.
Lydia K. Pinkham herself did not
live to see the great success of this
work. She passed to her reward years
ago, but not till she had provided
means for continuing her work as
effectively as she could have done it
herself.
During her long and eventful expe-
rience she was ever methodical in her
work and she was always careful to pre-
serve record of every case that came to
her attention. The case of every sick
woman who applied to her for advice
and there were thousands-received
careful study, and the details, includ-
ing symptoms, treatment and results
were recorded for future reference, and
to-day these records, together with
hundreds of thousands made since, are
available to sick women the world
over, and represent a vast collabora-
ton Of information regarding the
treatment of woman's ills, which for
authenticity and accuracy can hardly
be equaled in any library in the
world.
With Lydia E. Pinkham worked her
daughter in law, the present Mrs.
Pinkham. She was carefully instructed
in all her hard-won Knowledge, and
for years she assisted her in her vast
correspondence.
To her hands naturally fell the
direction of the work when its origina-
tor passed away. For nearly twenty
five years she has continued it, and
nothing in the work shows when the
first Lydia e. Pinkham dropped her
pen, and the present Mrs. Pinkham,
now the mother of a large family, took
it up. With women assistants, some as
capable as herself, the present Mrs.
Pinkham continues this great work and
probably from the office of no other
person have so many women been ad-
vised how to regain health. Sick wo-
men, this advice is yours for Health"
freely given if you only write to ask
for It.
Such is the history of Lydia e. Pink
hams Vegetable Compound made
from simple roots and herbs; the one
great medicine for women's ailments,
and the fitting monument to the noble
woman whose name IL bears.

LEES SILENT WATCHES.

Out Of life's silent watches,
Out of the gloom of night,
Sorts that foresee the conflict
Send forth their words of might.
Heroes of art and science,
Wrestle alone for years,
Bringing at last some trophy
Worthy the whole worlds cheers.
Poets with brooding patience.
Toiling with courage strong,
Out of some lonely vigil,
Weave an immortal song.
Not through the whirl of pleasure,
Not from the din of strife,
But out of the silent watches
Come the great deeds of life.

THE CALL OF THE CANADIAN
WEST.

The Greatest Wheat Crop of the
Continent.
The year that has just closed har
done great deal towards showing the
possibilities of Western Canada from
an agricultural standpoint. The wheat
crop has run very near to the 100000
OOO-bushel limit that was looked upon
as too sanguine an estimate only a
short time ago, and the area that has
been broken to fall wheat for the COM
ing harvest will go a long way to-
wards enabling the farmers of the
West to overlap on the 1OO,O0O,OOO-
bushel estimate next year. And while
the spring and winter wheat have
been doing SO well during the past few
years the other cereals have been keep
ing up with the procession. Rye and
barley have made immense strides, and
peas and fax have been moving stead
lily along Dairying also has been sue
cessfully carried on in the new prov
inces, and in every stage the farmer
has been striking it rich" To such an
extent has the success of the West
taken hold of outsiders that the rush
OF Americans to Saskatchewan and
Alberta, which was looked upon as
marvellous last year, bids fair to be
largely exceeded in 1906, and as there
are still millions of acres of free home
steads available, which the building of
the new railways will render accessi-
BILE to the markets, new wheat lands
will be opened up ere long. Amongst
the first to avail himself of the oppor
tunity presented will be the American
settler. Ia large number of Ameri-
agents are located. who are able and
willing to give the latest and best in
formation in regard to the new dis
tricts which the railways will open up,
and there will be no abatement of the
rush to the Canadian prairies during
a poet in the columns of the Toronto
STAR had the following stirring lines,
which throb of the Western spirit:
There's stir in the air, there's thrill
through the land, there's
movement toward the Great
West;
And the eyes of all men for the mo-
ment are turned to the country
that we love the best;
For it's Canada's day in the worlds
calendar, and to this merry toast
let us sup:
"Here's to the land. the young giant of
the North,
Where the prairies are opening up"
They come from the East and they
come from the South-they
come DER the deep rolling sea-
They come for they know they will
dwell meath a flag that makes
all men equal and free
Then, once more the toast. and let
every man rise, and cheer ere
he sips from the cup:
"Here's to the land, the young giant
of the North.
Where the prairies are opening up..
