ABOUT CRYING.
And now about crying: | don't care
how wonderful a disposition a girl is
heir to, there are times when it fraz-
zles and curdles and ravels at the ends
if any one article in the world can
do all three things, Anyway, even a
perfectly good disposition will go back
on the owner now and them And a
girl generally feels called upon to
keep herself above par, to smile how
ever she feels-to smile so earnestly
that her noble expression aches: to
smile until she wonders if she can ev-
er untangle her real feelings from
the expressiOn-garme she has put on
her poor, tired face.
Does that help her disposition and
character? IT DOES NOT. 1t curdIes
all the milk and honey sweetness in
her nature. l say-express your feel
lngs; If you are blue and don't know
why, or discouraged and do know why
go off by yourself where you can't an
noy the neighbors or worry your moth
er over what ails you, and just cry it
out. Cry it out once for all, and then
forget it. Cry 1t out and have il over
with Don't be sorry for yourself-no-
tice what a fine old world il is-how
ii lets you so off and have a little
April shower ocular demonstration.
and then how glad everything looks
when you look at it through a smile.

With a sort of triumph she waited for
the morning when she felt sure the
flowers she had ordered woul darrive.
And they did. When the long white
box was brought her, she opened it
with all the surprise and delight she
had planned. Under the tissue paper
was Warren's card, which she had di-
rected the florist to enclose, and the
roses were beautiful.

sitting room.
And every one who came in was
proudly told they were Helen's birth
day present from her husband, who
had telegraphed on to have them sent
from st. Louis.
And when Helen flushed slightly at
this statement, they thought it was

A Letter to Marv

A CERTAIN little girl whose fa-

lowing letter from him under her plate

SOME DOUBTS.
You know that he is good-looking,
is of pleasing manners, generous to
a fault with his money, and that you
love him. You will marry him and
go with him to a strange town, and
you do not know what his standing
in that town is.
You do not know If he is consid-
cred in his home town the kind of a
man a respectable girl cares TO go
with; you do not know If he is good
TO his mother; If his business pros
poets entitle him TO assume the sup
port of a wife.
You do not know what his habits

about the maid whose stay will not

Allow yourself two or three good cries
a year if you need them-and never
exceed your allowance, or forget that
the sun has to shine a little harder al
ways after a shower. So after you
have had your cry out all by yourself
remember that you owe yourself and
the world lot of smiles to make up
for those weak weeps!"
There is lot of philosophy in that
of you will think it over, and just ex-
actly follow directions-but following
directions means that you weep in pri-
vate and turn to the world and it's
people a smiling face. Can you do it ?

Helen read this letter over with
flushed cheeks. She had rewritten 1t
three times
At first she signed her full name,
and then the thought of the florist
wondering at woman sending flow
ers to herself made her change it to
only her initials which might mean
any member of her family.
She carefully enclosed the ten dol

velope and took it to the post office
herself.

box, she walkel home slowly, the col

there is not man, woman or child
who is not familiar with the name of
Judge Hardy, as he has been judge OF
Clark county for good many years
and Is man of strong personal char
acter. But the life of the farmer Is
not always one Of sunshine and roses.
It's working early and late, rain or
shine, snow or sleet, is not the best.
The daily exposure began to, tell on
Judge Hardy and he was attacked
with severe case OF stomach trou-
BILE. He suffered untold torture and
had doctored and used all kinds OF
medicines and had utterly given up,
as he could not get any relief. The
story of the cure of Judge Hardy by
the Medical Expert will be full of in
terest to those afflicted with stomach
trouble and Is better told in his own
words. This is what he says:
For the past years have been
having trouble with my stomach and

ferent kinds of medicines and none
seemed to do me any good. Your
medicine has done me more good,
