NOTHING DOING.

The dawn Of day was breaking fast
As through the street merchant passed:
He opened up his well-filled store.

Nothing Doing!"
He went within and told his clerk

To decorate the windows gay
For passers-by who CHANGED that way
Nothing Doingl"
He stood outside and smiled serene
On those who passed the lonely scene;
He laughed at them with CHEEKY eye,
And begged them step inside to buy J.
Nothing Doing!"
At noon he lured crowd inside
To see the goods that he supplied;
He showed them all without avail,
Nothing Doincl"
Throughout the afternoon he sat
And wondered just where he was at;
The people passed-repassed his door
But would not venture in the store :.
Nothing Doing!"
He stayed until the shades of night
Were falling on his business blight.
Untouched each counter, box and shelf;
Ile SOltiy IuullcTeQ 10 ullnSelI-
Nothing Doing!"
He told friend of his surprise.
You chump! why don't you advertiser"
The friend replied do that and see
That there will very quickly be
Something Doingl"
That very night he placed an adj.
Although the cost it made him SAD.
He went to bed and dreamed dream
1t was money-making scheme
Something Doing!"
Next morning he was up betimes,
For sloth with him was worst of crimes.
With trembling haste he sought his store
A dozen people round the door
Something Doing!"
He let them in Himself and clerk
Were busily detained at work
From then till noon, from noon till late,
The merchant was indeed elate-
Something Doing!"
The adj continued: so did trade
The merchant saw his greatest aid.
He realized-and he was glad
The consequence of every adj
Something Doing!"

MRS.NELlIE Markham

A nervous irritable woman. often on
the verge of Mysteries, Is a source OF
misery to everyone who comes under
her influence, and unhappy and mis-
cradle herself.
Such. women not only drive hus-
bands from home but are wholly unfit
to govern children.
The ills of women act like q fire
brand upon the nerves. consequently
seven-tenths of tho nervous prostra-
ton, nervous dependency, t h g
blues, sleeplessness. and nervous
irritability Of women arise from some
organic derangetpent.
Do you experience FITS ofdepression
with restlessness alternating with ex-
treme irritability ? Do you suffer
from pains in the abdominal region,
backache, bearing down pains.nervous
dyspepsia, sleeplessness, and almost
continually cross and snappy? If so,
your nerves are in a shattered con-
dition and you are threatened with
nervous prostration.
Proof is monumental that nothing
in the world Is better for nervous
troubles of women than Lydia E..
Pinkham's Vegetable Compound,
made from native roots and herbs.
Thousands and thousands of women
can testify to this fact.
