The book still stands, brilliant and
u~nassailable, and few On the same
subject can take their place beside 1t
for sheer logic and insight. The "Vin-
dication" was born out of suffering
and bitter experience. Mrs. Brown
ing says in Aurora Leigh" that life
blood is necessary to the making of a
great book, and, though the 'Vindi-
cation" holds its Importance as q
piece of reasoning, yet it is Mary's
very life blood that gives it's argu-
ments vitality. Born n.1759, her pity
her darling passion" as she calls
1t, was first claimed by her own
mother and the very dogs Of the
household, subjected to the caprice of
a brutal father. Then her difficult
struggles against poverty, her pitiful
attempts to earn a living by keeping
school, taught her something Of the
harshness of the outside world. In
dependence" she writes In her dedi-
cation to the "Vindication," 'inde-
pendence / have long considered as
the grand blessing of life, the basis
of every virtue, and Independence /
will ever secure by contracting my
wants, though / were to live on a bar
ren heath" How modern 1t all
sounds!

neglected, she left the fax soiled or
the spinning-wheel broken.
Once a year the goddess took out
her sacred car, and mounting II, went
along the Milky Way. AS she drove
over the lands, all the coldness of win
ter passed away and spring awoke In
all its gladness. The leafless trees
shook out their tiny buds; the flowers
raised their heads and smiled. Birds,
began to twitter on the boughs and
the rabbits began to run about. Then
too, little children came from their
homes and played in the sunshine, and
Easter, looking down, smiled to see
the earth glad with the same life that
filled her cave In the misty noun
tains.
One time the car of the White Lady
was damaged. She told q wheelwright
to repair 1t, and for payment said he
should keep the chips. The man was
indignant, not knowing who the god
dess was, and kept but a few pieces.
What was his amazement on the NOR
row, to find the waste wood turned to
gold. But the pieces that he had dis
carded he could not find. So he
learned wisdom from his folly, as per-
haps we all must learn.
AS long as the goddess was duly
honored she remained In her home,
blessing the people. But once, 1t Is
recorded. she left her cave, her infant
train dragging her pillow, and took up
her abode In a distant land. Then
sorrow. and mourning spread among
the people, and in pity. the goddess
returned and restored her past favor
and benefits. So the land was glad
dened once more.
In different countries this goddess
was known by different names, and
though her occupation was the same,
It's form was sometimes slightly al
tered. But in all lands, at her ap-
| proach, earth was giaddened, warriors
laid down their arms, and peace and
goodwill reigned on earth.
Is 1t any wonder, then, that, when
| Christianity was introduced amongst
| the people, though they discarded
their other gods they refused to en-
tirely give UP Easter? No! they held
the name, the symbols, and the kind
feelings, and grated them onto their
new faith, and today we celebrate
Easter, with the feeling Of Joy, as 6
old. at the new life, the resurrection
And It is. rs of old, a day for tbs

District Attorney J. f. Clarke OF
New York was talking about the re-
CEN kidnapping cases.
"Kidnapers," he said, "are apt to
disappear now. They have become
too unpopular. Why. a kidnaper is as
unpopular as a widower.
widows, now, are very attractive,
but about a widower there is always
something uncanny, something almost
clammy-I mean, of course, from the
matrimonial point of view.

of marrying again. He thought he'd
breach the matter d~elicately the other

said:
".Ah, my dear, how I did love your

But the little girl gave him a sus'
picious look and snapped:

Buckskin clothing was. in the early
days OF the Western country, almost
universal, among the frontiersmen at
least. When the railroad first went
through Idaho, an old trapper came
down out OF the mountains. and was
standing on the platform Of a little
station.
His buckskin trousers, soaked and
stretched by the rain and the melting
snow OF the winter, and then dried and
shrunk by the August sen, bagged
most wonderfully at the knees. A
"tenderfoot," who stood near by, OBJ
served him with interest for several
minutes. Then he walked over to him
and inquired.

don't you jump?"

a. trial package of Munyon's Paw Paw
Pills will be sent free 10 anyone on re-
quest. Address Professor Munyon, SD d
jefferson Sts., Philadelphia, Pa. If you ara
in need of medical advice, do not fail to
write Professor Munyon. Your communi-
cation will be treated in strict confidence,
and your case will be diagnosed as care
fully as though you had q personal inter
view.
Munyon's Paw Paw Pills are unlike
all other laxatives or cathartics. They
coax the liver into activity by gentle
methods. They do not scour, they do
not grippe, they do not weaken, but they
do start all the secretions Of the liver
and stomach in a way that soon puts
these organs in a healthy condition and
~corrects constipation. In my opinion
constipation is responsible for most all
ments. There are 20 feet of human
bowels, which is really a sewer pipe.
When this pipe becomes clogged the
whole system becomes poisoned, caus-
ing biliousness, indigestion and impure
blood, which often produce rheumatism
and kidney ailments. No woman who
suffers with constipation or any liver
ailment can expect to have a clear
complexion or enjoy good health. III
i had my way / would prohibit the sale
of nine-tenths Of the cathartics that are
now being sold for the reason that they
soon destroy the lining of the stomach,
setting up serious forms of Indigestion,
and so p~aralyze the bowels that they re-
fuse TO act unless forced by strong
purgatives.
Munyon's Paw Paw Pills are q tonic
to the stomach, liver and nerves. They
invigorate instead of weaken; they en-
rich the blood instead OF impoverish
It; they enable the stomach to get all
the nourishment from food that is put
into it.
These pills contain no calomel, no
dope; they are soothing, healing and
stimulating. They school the bowels
to act without physic.
