KEEP TROUBLES TO YOURSELF
The World, a. General Thing, Has
Little Use for the Man Ad-
dicted to SeIf-Pity.

The trouble with the man in little
trouble Is that he is inclined to pity
himself and imagine that he is the
only man who ever had a trouble.
All he can see in the moment of his
irritation is his own burden. 1t seems
not to occur to him that at the very
moment he is wrestling with his diff
Guilty thousands of people around him
are fighting against far greater odds
and 10 much gfeater danger.
Trouble, anyhow, is a part of the
game of life. Nobody ever went any
where or did anything worth while
without meeting it in one form or an
other. Let others pity you if they
will, but don't waste any time plying
yourself. The chances are that your
next door neighbOr would be tickled
to death if such troubles as you have
were all he had to worry about.-Ex-

besides joey, but l couldn't have been
called anything else but a chimpanzee.
That would have been impossible.
Quite impossible"
"All things are possible" said Ellen
in cranky tone.
Now Ellen" said Joey, that sounds
all right, but it hasn't always got
sense TO 1t. In this case it hasn't.
You see l was born a chimpanzee and
a chimpanZee / am. Then the keeper
wanted to give me name, so he called
me Joey. Therefore l am Chimpanzee
joey. Chimpanzee comes first"
"Oh, very Well" said Ellen.
You see couldn't be anything else
but a chimpanzee any more than a
boy could be anything else but boy.
And yet boy might have almost any
name such as John or Jack or Peter
or Bernard.

"Ah, yes" said joey. you're cross.
And you're not always cross. You've
got good disposition, as a rule. But
today you have lost your good dis
position and have taken a cross one
in its place."
"I've not lost it." said Ellen.

Chenille Curtains.

In most attics may be found one or
more pairs of chenille curtains so pop
ular some years ago. These may be
transformed into pretty and service
able rugs. If the curtains are faded
dive them TO harmonic with the room
in which they are to be used. As a
foundation for the rugs use old worn
Brussels carpet cut to the desired
length. Arrange the curtain material
smoothly on these carpet foundations,
turning over several inches of the ma
terial on the wrong side. Sew down
firmly on the wrong side and you will
have transformed a worn piece Of out
of-date carpet into a soft, textbook
ing rug.

" IMONOS were appropriated from

are indulging in other dress borrowed
from the Orient. Sometimes they take
It as they find it, and Oftener they
adapt it to their own taste in colors
and fabrics. This masquerading in
the clothes of women of far countries
proves exhilaratng and the great shops
make ii easy to indulge in it-they
have brought the far East near, and
they help to widen our vision and in
crease our respect for the art OF
other peoples.
The handsome costume of black
satin. embellished with gold en-
broidered ribbon, pictured above, Is
literal translation from the original
Chinese, done in American fabrics.
Those who have had experience with
this kind of dress say ii never grows
tiresome and that it is comfortable
and convenient-all these are lasting
qualities and it is worth while TO EN-
body them in good black satin. 1t is
modest and fascinating dress, and
may prove a rival of the kimono.
"The flower of the harem-Rose-in-

the pretty American who has emulated
something of her dress, as shown in

If You Need a Medicine
 You Should Have the Best

Have you ever stopped to reason why it is that so many products .hat are extensively advertised, all at once drop out of sight and are soon forgotten? The reason is plain the article did not fulfill the promises of the manufacturer. This applies more particularly to medi- cine. A medicinal preparation that has real curative value almost sells itself. as like an endless chain sys- tenn the remedy is recommended by many of my customers testify. No those who have been benefited, to those who are in need of it.
 A prominent druggist says: "Take for example, pr. Kilmer's Swamp Root, a preparation I havesold for many years and never hesitate to recommend. for in almost every case it shows excellent results, as other kidney remedy has so large a sale"
 According to sworn statements and verified testimony of thousands who have used the preparation, the success of Dr. Kilmer's Swamp-Root is due to the fact, so many people claim, that it fulfills almost every wish in overcoming kidney, liver and bladder ailments, corrects ur- mary troubles and neutralizes the uric acid which causes rheumatism
 You may have sample size bot tie of this always reli&ble prepara- tion by parctl post, also pamphlet telling about it. Address pr. Xii mer & Co.,, Biughamton, N. Y, and enclose ten cents. also mention the Alaska Daily Empire, Juneau. Alas ka. Advertisement.
