as Miss Patty Realized Wien
the Goat Was Through.

I Miss Patty Shepard of North Thir-
steenth street went to. the country with
a party Of friends on Memorial day:
They stopped at a farmhouse where
some of the party are well known.
Browsing about was an old goat.
When Miss Patty saw her the nanny
was placidly nibbling at asfew blades
of grass, and she innocently thought
that goats were strictly v~egetarians.
On the lawn in front Of the porch she
had put her handsome new peach
basket hat, trimmed with pretty ar
tificial roses, which she had got from
the store the night before. The goat
saw the hat and advanced joyfuny to-
ward it. Miss Patty laughed. 1.-The
old think thinks they're real roses"
She laughed. Wont she be fooled
when she smells them?"
" Everybody sat still to watch the
goat smell the artificial flowers and
walk away. But the goat fooled them.
, The next week Miss Patty bought
another hat.-Philadelphiaf Times.

The Difference.

Edward, having been refused an
other baked potato on the simple but
convincing ground that there were
nc more, according to the New York
Sun, made some uncomplimentary re-
mark about the INSURGENCY of his
dinner. "This isn't dinner" corrected
the aunt whom he was visiting. This
is luncheon. You don't eat dinner in
the middle of the day. You eat that
at night" The next day the aunt, be-
ing anxious to know if Edward had
assimilated' his lesson of the day be-
fore, said: Edward, can you tell
me now the difference between dinner
and luncheon?" You bet / can," said
Edward. very promptly. Lunch is
the meal where you don't get enough
to eat" 49,.

No other medicine for woman's ills
has received such widespread and un-
qualified endorsement. No other med
icine we know of has such a record
of cures of female ills as has Lydia e.
Pinkham's Vegetable Compound.
For more than 30 years it has been
curing female complaints such as
Inflammation, liberation, local weak
nesses, fbroid tumors, irregularities,
periodic pains, backache; indigestion
and nervous prostration, and it is
unequalled for carrying women safely

long before the Christian era. There Is
no indication of the place at which the
prayer was written. The earliest refer

words in their original form clearly re-

prayer was never distinctly recognized
as a canonical writing, though 1t was In

deservedly retained among the Apoc-
