THE BRIGHT SIDE

to the majority of us that we
do not get quite the amount of
happiness we are entitled to.
Among the countless things
which tend to make us more OF
less miserable i'll health takes
the first place. No doubt a
crippled liver with the result
ing impure blood, is the cause of
more mental gloom than any
other single thing. And who
can reckon up the fearful aggre-
gate of pain, loss and fear a
rising from the many diseases
which are familiar to mankind;
like vast cloud it hangs over
a multitude no one can number.
You can see these people every
where. For them life can scarce
ly be said to have any bright
side" at all. Hence the eager
ness with which they search for
relief and cure. Remedies like
WANIPOLE's PREPARATION
have not attained their high po-
sition in the confidence of the
people by bald assertions and
Boosting advertisements. They
are obliged to win it by doing
actually what is claimed for them.
That this remedy deserves its
reputation is conceded. It is
palatable as honey and contains
all the curative properties &C
pure Cod Liver Oil, combined
with the Compound Syrup of
Hypophosphites and the Extracts
OF Malt and Wild Cherry. No
thing has such record of sue
cess in Scrofula, Influenza,
Throat and Lung Troubles, and
emaciating complaints and DIS
orders that tend to undermine
the four cations of strength and
Vigour. its use helps to show
life's brighter side. Professor
Reddy, of Canada, says: Il have
much pleasure in stating that i
Fave used it in cases of debility
and found it to be very valu-
able remedy as well as pleasing
to take" You cannot be disap

don't care much for them funcshuns,

AN | tole Bunch then and there l
thought 1t plum disgraceful to have
statutes of young wimmen standing
round 'thout no raiment, though 1t
was a sin an shame that tn hired
girl had been so careless bout breakin'
off tn arm
Bunch, who's been studyin' all
about art since he's tried to butt into
society, whispered that tn arm hadn't
ben broke by no hired girl, but that
the statute was a replicky-I think he
said-of one made by some famous old
feller and tn arm was broke-likely
bein hit by a spade when they dug
her up hundreds O. years ago. Said she
was the Shelf Doover of this old stat

Doover means somethin' he didn't
want to say right out, cause you
can't never tell what them French'll

They was picture of another lady

looked { me more like midsummer,
for she didn't have a stitch more
on her than tn Shef Dooverin' woman
did.

One BeIted Earl

The Earl of Leicester, who died re-
Gently, was known as the first farmer
of England" On the great estates
which he inherited from his father
were first introduced methods of
scientific farming that have greatly
benefited English agriculture. They
include the. four-course rotation in
crops-turnips, barley, clover, wheat
and the live stock shows. The earl
was interesting not only as a farmer,
but as an example of longevity in a
long-lived family. No less than 157
years separated the birth of the father
and the death of the son, and the son
married his second wife 100 years
after the father married his first. The
father Of the earl, who has just died,
headed a deputation from Norfolk to
urge George III to acknowledge the In
dependence of the American colonies.
He died at the age of 80, the son at
the age of 87.-Youth's Companion.

Jack got the money, anyway.
He was returning from tour OF

He Was Under Oath.

The late Prof. Rowland Of Johns
Hopkins university was the most emf
nent physicist since the days of 10
seph Henry. Among his notable
achievements in the realm Of pure
science was the calculation of thf
mechanical equivalent of heat and thc
use of gratings in spectrum analysis
for which purpose he devised ma
chine that could cut 10000 lines to tn,
inch on plate of polished metal. II
the practical application of his know
edge he was noted as the inventor o.
the multiplex telegraph apparatus.
Some years ago, testifying in a case
involving the Cararact Power Com
pany, in answer to a question on cross
examination as to who, in his opinion
was the greatest American scientist
he replied: Il am
After leaving the courtroom one OF
the lawyers ventured to criticise this
answer for its effect upon the jury
whereupon Rowland exclaimed:
"Well, what else could say? Wasn't
I under oath?"

Anonymous Letters.

The anonymous letter-writer seems
to be one of the inevitable waste prod
ucts of an age Of discussion.
In day when the public schools
make almost universal the knowledge
of reading and writing when yellow
journalism supplies the vitriolic phrase
and the United States mail carries
any respectfully covered missive, then
does the cowardly soul find rare sport
in Ticking judges, editors, legislators
and other public men with irrespons-
ible taunts. The president of the
United States gets a basketful OF
anonymous letters daily. Judges who
are trying cases that bulk large in the
public eye find themselves the targets
for dire warnings and filthy abuse.
The evil is probably more wide
spread than the public appreciates.
There is no absolute remedy, though
the post Office inspectors sometimes
succeed in catching offenders and eff
fecting their punishment. The sheer
cowardice of the practice makes for
its increasing discredit, and this is
probably the only cure.-Chicago Post.

Autos with Doq Kennels.

pleasant remembrances of the time
when the horse was supreme. hut
horse and dog were both rudely dis
turbed by the advent of the automo-
bile.
Automobiles run too fast for a dog
to trot along beside and as there Is

One English automobile firm is now

avoid the beginning of quarrels."


avoid the beginning of quarrels."
No better advice could be given to
a newly welded couple. King Solo
mon, with all his wisdom, never spake
truer word than that "the beginning
of strife is like the letting out OF wa
ter; therefore leave of contention be-
fore 1t is meddled with" Most quar-
rels, conjugal or otherwise, begin with
trifes, and 10! Behold how great a
fire little matter kindleth!" Avoid
disputes. 1T is the first step which
counts" for which sound reason, do
not take it,
An old man, who, as a criminal law
yer of many years standing, had wide
and deep acquaintance with human ma
ture, used to tell his daughters: Make
up your minds to the fact that your
husbands are but men, although they
are gentlemen, and take heed how you
provoke them to anger 1t takes two
to make a quarrel; never be one OF
the two, and remember that your dig
nifty best is preserved by silence when
you are provoked
Never forget that you take your
husband for better, for worse, and If,
which heaven forbid, worse comes, at
least bear it like a Christian gentle
woman. You will find the recipe in
Matthew 5, beginning at verse 49,"
There is no bit of wisdom which
prospective brides and grooms more
profitably may take to heart than that
while quarrels between lovers who are
still accounting may successfully be
patched up as good even better than
new, provided always that neither OF
the lovers meant malice, and also that
both are affectionate and forgiving OF
disposition, the genuine matrimonial
family row rarely is followed by
kisses. unless there has been heart
burning which seers, and acrid bitter
ness of spirit which long endures I'M
der the sweet of reconciliation.
A tempest of tears and temper not
often is the forerunner of clear-shin-
ing after rain. On the contrary, 1t by
far is more likely to stir up lasting
dissension and anger.
How can it be possible that love of
any sort can be made more precious
by disputing and wrangling, by contra
diction and continual disagreeirg?
During the days of courtship it is pos.
sible that 1t may pass for playful teas
ing, when hearts are soft and heads
even softer; but after marriage there
is danger that each will be ready to
assert his or her rights, and each be
less willing to yield to the other.
Lovers quarrels usually are either
ebullitions of jealousy. mostly due to
selfshness, or else they come from
what somebody has called "the leak
age of bad temper" a most undesir-
able quality for either husband or
wife. If lovers cannot avoid quarrels
before. marriage there is small hope
that they will be able to eschew them
afterward.

Good Quality for statesman.

It is said of George B. CortelyoB
that he would stand on the rear Of
President McKinley's train when the
president was touring the country and
not only recognize the men of the
town who had during his time come to
Washington, but recall their names as
we'll
One time, II is said, the train
stopped at small station in the west.
Cortelyou with the other members OF
the presidents party alighted for a
few minutes to timber up. A man
came up to him and proceeded to in
troduce himself Cortelyou interrupt
ed him.
Il am glad to meet you, Mr.. Jones.
That matter about the claim is In the
hands of the treasury department
now, and you may expect to hear from
it almost any time"
The man had not seen Cortelyou in
eight months, and then for exactly five
minutes.
