in the doorway. her blue eyes wide

In all his carefully laid plans he
had failed TO take into consideration
this youngest child of the family; but
he knew that she must be entirely
alone, and he felt quite at ease again.
At length she recovered herself
suffi GENTLY to speak to the intruder.
What are you doing here?" she
demanded.

In her anger at his audacity and
chatting it had not occurred to her to
be frightened; resentment alone fill

asked wonderingly.
We'll, miss, it's a sort Of old time

see, just at the prospect of meeting

Silently she led the way down the
hall until she came to a large closet
with heavy oaken door now standing
ajar.

in her voice, as the thought came to
her, that though she had been left
home to look after things, she was

Suddenly an inspiration came to

Woman in Proverbs.

The treatment that womankind
receives In the proverbs Of various
people forms the subject of an article
by L. P. Flobert in the Paris Gaulois.
On the whole, the array Is far from
complimentary.
Among the Spanish maxims one of
the gentlest is "Women and mules
obey better when coerced." Another
Is THE man wins much who loses
his wife" Here are few more:
Man Is tow; woman is fire and the
devil blows the bellows.
The tears of woman are worth
much, though they cost little.
The fox is cunning, but the woman
who loves knows far more than he.
The proverbs of the Arabs, place a
very low value on women. Here are
some samples:
The beauty of man Is In his spirit;
the spirit of woman is In her beauty.
The Hindus are not much more re-
spectful than the Arabs. They say:
The coquette is like your shadow;
chase her and she fees from you, fee
from her and she chases you.
DO you wan TO TEST tne QnenoSS OF
gold? Use acid. The strength of an
OK? Beat it. The nature of a man?
Let him talk. The thoughts of a
woman? There's no way.
Next comes the cynical Chinaman
with cutting maxim.
The tongue of woman is a dagger
and she never let's 1t grow rusty. The
spirit of woman is of quicksilver
and her heart Is of wax.

4 CONDITION
THAT CALLS
FOR A TONIC
When Run Down and Debilitated
Try DR.. Williams Pink Pills,
a Tonic That Is Also q
Specific for Many Dis
orders of the Blood
and Nerves.

When the health is run down from
overwork, overstudy, or from whatever
cause, good tonic is needed.
But sometimes what is mistaken for
simple debility is a symptom of a more
serious disorder, anBmia perhaps, or q
breaking down of the nervous system.
By taking tonic that Is also specific
for many disorders of the blood and
nerves the threatening disease may be
prevented.s That is what was done in
the case Of Mrs. Ora Ford Of 1908 Wash
ington Boulevard, Chicago, H., who
was undoubtedly in the early stages of
an@mia before DR.. Williams Pink Pills
cured her. She says:
II was completely run down in health
for about year My blood was thin
and poor and l had great deal of
trouble with my stomach and kidneys.
MY appetite was poor and had no
desire for food. What l ate distressed

Indians from Old Town, who have

busy collecting sweet grass which
grows there In abundance. They are
also making daily trips In their ca
noes to Georgetown and to Winnie
gance, several miles from there to Sc =
cure the grass, which they are care
fully drying. Great care has to be ex-
ercised in drying the grass or it turns
black and for this reason the Indians
have been greatly bothered for the
past two weeks, as the rainy weather
Is not suitable for drying it. The
grass when properly dried is worth
so cents a pound, and each Indian
plans to carry away at least 1875
pounds. They go from here to the
Rangeley lake region, where they cut
their brown ash, which is used for the
splint work in making baskets, and
this they tie up In rolls and allow to
season for several weeks, then they
return to their homes and make up
