A Mind Reader,

Pat had got hurt-not much more
than a scratch, 1t is true. but his en-
ployer had visions of being compelled
to keep him for life. and had adopted
the wise course of sending him at once
to the hospital. After the house sur
geon had examined him carefully, he
said to the nurse:
las subcutaneous abrasion is not OBJ
servable. l do not think there is any
reason to apprehend tegumental cica-
trization of the wound"
Then. turning TO the patient. ne
asked. quizzically:
What do you think. Pat?"
Sure. sir" said Pat. you're a won

NEURALGIA

The real meaning of the word Neu-
ralgia is nerve-pain. and any one who
has suffered with the malady will not
be 20 anxious to know of its nature
as to hear of its ant!dote. Though
scarcely recognized by the profession
and people half a century ago, 1t is
now one of the most common and pain
full ailments which afiiict humanity.
As now generally understood the word
signifies an affection of the nervous
system. with pain in the course of the
principal nerves.
The two great causes OF Neuralgia
are. Impoverishment of the Blood
and Deficiency Of Nerve Force; and
the treatment of II is not SO obscure
as many would be led to suppose. The
first thing is to relieve the pain,
which is done more quickly and salts
factorily by ST. JACOBS OIL than by
any other remedy known; the second
object is to remove the cause, which
is accomplished by the abundant use
OF nourishing food. of a nature to
strengthen and give tone to both the
muscular and nervous systems.

CONSCIENCE HAD SLEPT LONG.
purloiner Of Cake Of Soap Makes
Restitution After Twenty Years.

Imagine a conscience that would
span 20 years and drive a man to re-
member a theft of cake of soap.
That there is such conscience, how
ever, is proved by the receipt a few
weeks ago of two cakes of soap by a
storekeeper in little town in Mime
sofa. Twenty years ago this man,
Edward Hamilton, had small store
In st. Paul. In front of his establish
ment he had showcase in which he
displayed several large cakes of soap
OF special make. One morning he
found the glass broken open and one
of the cakes of soap missing. The
theft was SO small that the matter was
never reported. and Hamilton had for
gotten it. till he received letter from
the thief. which read:
Dear Sir: l send you two cakes
Of soap in payment for one took from
your showcase in ST. Paul many years
ago. I recently saw your advertise
ment in country paper and learned
OF the change of your place OF busi-
ness. / regret deeply having taken the
soap. and trust that this which ] send
will satisfactorily take its place.

When One Spends Money.

One would think that money would
be saved in prosperous times when
there is plenty of 1t about. But no.
that is not the time when IL is saved.
II is then that IL is spent. says Apple
tons. Everybody spends it-govern-
ments. railroads. corporations. capital
lists. housekeepers. house builders. COL
lectors. People expand their wants In
such times. and satisfy some OF them.
and then is when II is most of all i'm
possible to live on anything n year.
But after all the money has been spent
. few times over and has begun to be
scarce. and borrowing has come to be
a serious matter. and folks have much
less to spend and no expectations
then everybody groans and begins to
save. not only trying desperately to
squeeze back inside OF the bounds of
income. but 10 pay back what was
spent In expectation OF n time when
saving would have become convenient.
To most of us that time never comes.
And yet there are things for which We
<pend more than we can AFFORD. that
that after the money has been spent
and We are pinchcd for the lack OF II.
We would still rather have what II
bought than have the money back.

Strive 10 BE Cheerful.

Most persons are OF the opinion that
n . man is not favored by nature with
a cheerful spirit, he cannot pretend to
be cheerful. Yet this is not really the
case. and there is many man who is
at present weary burden to his rela-
tives, miserable through the carkinS
care OF some bodily ailment. perhaps.
or some worldly misfortune. who, if he
had grown up into the idea that to be
cheerful under all circumstances was
one of the first duties of life, might
still see a pleasant enough world
around him. The discontented worries
of a morose and grumbling person
may very likely shorten his days and
the general justice OF natures arrange
ment provides that his early departure
should entail no long regrets, says
New York Weekly. On the other
hand. the man who can laugh keeps
his health. and his friends are glad to
keep him. To person perfectly
healthy laughter comes often. Too
commonly. though, AS childhood is left
behind. the habit fails. and 4 halt,
smile is the best that visits the
thought-lined mouth OF a modern man
or woman. People become more and
more burdened with the accumuia-
tons OF knowledge and with the
weighing responsibilities OF life. but
they should still spare time to laugh.
