The May number of the Ladies'
World not only keeps up it's ex-
cellent reputation, but is, we
think, the best issue of the pub
lication that has yet appeared.
There are two contributions that
stand out above the others: one,
the impressions made by Slezak,
the famous Bohemian tenor, af-
ter a seven months stay in
America; and the other, the visit
Of Frances Starr to the historic
town of Stratford on Avon. The
fiction also is remarkably good.
DR.. Margaret A. Cleaves contin-
ues her series on The Prevention
of Disease, and Laura A. Smith
tells women a great deal about
Government positions, what they
consist of, and how they are to
be obtained. The household de-
partment is full of practical in
formation that will be generally
helpful at this season, and there
are besides several pages of
fashions and dressmaking, the
usual articles on up to-date nee
dlework, health, good looks, the
children, etiquette. etc. On the
whole. a great deal of entertain
ment for a very moderate sum.

ELEGANCES OF THE PAST.

The language they are passing round
Like 'stung' and oh. you kid!'
Seems not 10 ring with sense profound
AS old time phrases did.
The ''Tah-rah' people seem to like
The racket which they raise
But modern dictum does not strike
The peace of other days.
wish that they might hear the way,
When some one stood aloof
And proud. some friend in accents CAV
would cry. Come off the roofr'
And when some lad appeared with fuzy
Upon his lip we'd shout
With real wit, Say. sonny. does
Your mother know you're out?"
The cry Whoa, Emma.' is unhear6:
Likewise Pull down your vest!'
No weary soul by anguish stirred
ExclRims, Give us a rest"
The rapid times through which We yhIz
Compel us to agree
The art OF conversation is
Not what II used to be.

Pain in


"For two years I had pain in
my heart, back and left side.
Could not draw deep breath
or lie on left side, and any little
exertion would cause palpita-
ton. Under advice l took
DR.. Miles Heart Remedy and
Nervine. ! took about thirteen
bottles, am in better health than
l ever was, and have gained IL
pounds"
MRS. LILLE THOMAS,
Upper Sandusky, Ohio
For many years DR.. Miles
Heart Remedy has been very
successful in the treatment of
heart troubles, because of it's
tonic effect upon the heart
nerves and muscles. Even in
severe cases of long standing it
has frequently prolonged life for
many years after doctors had
given up all hope, as proven by
thousands of letters we have re-
ceived from grateful people.
Dr.. Miles Heart Remedy Is sold by all
druggists. II the first bottle fails to
benefit, your druggist will return your
money.

heavy and the letters indistinct. Tie
began to have difficulty in grasping the
meaning of the words.
That which befalleth the sons of men
befaleth beasts, even one thing befalleth
them; as the one dieth. SO dieth the other;
yea, they have all one BREATH so that a
man hath no pre-eminence above beast
All is vanity.
All go unto one place; all are of the
dust and all turn to dust again.
Who knoWeth the spirit Of man that
goeth upward and the spirit of the beast
that goeth downward to the earth?
A knock at the door reused him from
his somnolence, and he looked up with
bleared. bloodshot eyes.
He staggered to his feet, smiling va
cantly, and his cropping hand )urched
toward the revolver. There was the
crash of report. The apartment
house manager who had seen the light
in the window, apprising him of the
tenants presence, and had knocked to
inquire about the overdue rent, ran
shouting for help.
When they forced the door they
found Brooks sprawling across the ia
BILE beside the overturned liquor bottle
He was dead, with bullet in his
brain.
