WHY JOHNNIE HURRIED.

It was a proud day for Johnnie Green when his father told him that he might have the Muley Cow for his very own. The moment he heard the news Johnnie couldn't help interrupt ing his father with shout
 Not so fast" said Farmer Green, with what Johnnie knew was only a pretend" frown. Shes not yours yet. And when yon learn what youll have to do to win her, perhaps you won't want the old COW after all'
 Wont I?" cried Johnnie Green. 'TIl do anything you ask of mel"
 When you've learned to milk her, she'll be yours" his father said.
 II was noon on a summer day when all this happened. And Johnnie Green wanted to go 10 the pasture at once and drive the Muley Cow home 10 be mixed. But his father wouldn't let him do that. He said Johnnie must wait until milkinG-time came, that evening.
 Now, it had often happened, in the past, that Johnnie was late in driving the cows home. But on the day he started off for the pasture with old dog Spot q half hour earlier than usual. Any cows that fingered to snatch mouthful of tempting grass by the wayside found themselves rudely urged along toward the barn.
 There was some grumbllng among them. And the Muley Cow told her companions that if she had known Johnnie Green was going to be in such q hurry she would have jumped the fence into the back pasture and stayed there as long as she, pleaseo.
 They had not been in the barn great while before the Mulcy Cow had

 To do any kind of work, or to play for that matter, is next to impossible if you are suffering from some form of female trouble. It may cause your back or your legs to ache, it may make you nervous and irritable. You may be able to keep up and around, but you do not feel good.
 Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Con- pound is a medicine for women. It is especially adapted to relieve the cause of the trouble and then these annoying pains, aches and "no good" feelings disappear.
 It has done this for many, many wo- men: why not give it fair trial-now.
