UNCLE M0SEL0ST NO TIME.
AllhouKh Old and Crippled With
Rheumatism, He Could Travel
Some When Bear Appeared.
Some Georgia buys were going
coon hunting and slopped ai the
cjbm of anoilier colored boy.
"Come 'long Saihbo; we's gwine
coon liuniin'."
"Ah caint. Ah has 10 siay wid
Unci'; Mose."
"dring him 'long, niggah."
Uncle Mose was very old and
ciippied with the theumaiisni, bui
he was finally persuaded to hobble
along and the pany sei off.
The dogs soon began barking
furiously al no great distance and
all hurried to the tree. Even Un
cle Mose seemed to regain some
thing of his youthful energy and
hobbled along at a surprising rate
The boys threw slicks and stones
into the tree and suddenly a large
animal sprang down among the
dogs with fierce growls and snarls.
The dogs scattered and ran. The
hoys, scared out ol their wits, yell
ed :
"Look out o' dat bea'," and
never stopped until completely out
of breath.
"Po' old Uncle Mose! Dat bea's
suah got him," said one.
"Suah, a good old man! But
dar ain't no use gwine back," said
another one.
"Dal bea' eai him all up by dis
time," said a third.
So they proceeded sadly to Sam
bo's cabin; but what was their as
tonishment when the door opened
and Uncle Mose himself stood be
fore them. Some of the more su
perstitious, believing it 10 be his
ghost, were inclined to run; but
old Uncle Mose quickly reassured
them by asking this question:
"Whe' you chilluns been all dis
time?"
"Fo' de lan's sake, Uncle Mose!
How you all git heah?"
Uncle Mose drew himself up
with a somewhat scornful haughty
demeanor and replied: Huh !
Dat's easy 'nuff, Ah kern wid de
dogs !" Country Gentleman.
EXCUSES POOR.
Johnny B- , who has seen
eight summers go by, not very
long ago developed a fondness for
playing hooky from school. After
two or three offenses of this kind
he was taken 10 task by his teacher.
'Jonny," she said, "the next
time you are absent I want you 10
bring me an excuse from your
father telling me why you were
not here."
"I don'i warn to bring an ex
cuse from my father," protested
the boy.
"Why not ? asked the teacher,
her suspicion plain.
" 'Cause father isn't any good
at making excuses."
WHY THEY BURIED HIM.
"It is a rule to which most good
lawyers adhere,' observed a well
known attorney, "never 10 tell
more than one knows. There was
an incident in a Western lown
where a lawyer carried the rule 10
the extreme.
"Counsel for one side objected
to a person, whose name was on
(he court's register for some pur
pose or other, on the ground thai
he was dead. The counsel on the
other side declined lo accept ihe
assurance and demanded conclu
sive testimony on the poini.
"Whereupon counsel for the
other side arose and gave corrobo
rative evidence as lo the deceas of
the man in question.
" 'But, sir, how do you know
the man's dead ?' demanded op
posing counsel.
" 'Well,' was the reply. 'I don'i
know. It's very difficult to prove.'
"'As I suspected. You don't
know whether he's dead or not.'
" 'No, Hut I know this thry
buried him about a month ago on
suspicion I' "
THE BEST PARABLE.
Parson Do yo know the para
bles, my child?
Johnnie Yes, sir.
Parson And which of the para
bles do you like best?
Johnnie I like the one where
somebody loafs and fishes.

Lydia E. Pinkham'a Vegetable Compound. I auf.
fered from a serious female trouble and the doctors
said I could not live one year without an operation.
My husband objected to the operation and bad me
try Lydia E. l'inkham's Veeetithle f 'nmnrmnrl I
8oon commenced to get better and am now well
and able to do my own housework. I can recom.

Another Operation Avoided.
Richmond, lnd. "For two years I was so sick and weak from
female troubles that when going up stairs I had to go very slowly
with my hands on the steps, then sit down at the top to rest. The
doctor said be thought I should have an ojieratlon, and my friend
thought I would not live to move into our new house. My daughter
asked me to try Lydia E. l'inkham's Vegetable Compound as she had
taken it with good results. I did so, my weakness disappeared, I
gained in strength, moved into our new home, do all kinds of garden
work, and raised hundreds of chickens and ducks. I cannot say
enough in praise of Lydia E. l'inkham's Vegetable Compound." Mrs,
M. 0. Johnston, lioute D, Box 190, Richmond, Ind.
Of course there are many serious cases that only a
surgical operation will relieve. We freely acknowledge
this, but the above letters, and many others like them,
amply prove that many operations are recommended when
medicine in many cases is all that is needed.

AN OLD-FASHIONED MAN.
When I am far away from town, as far as I can be,
There is a heap of lonesomeness thai goes around with me,
And nighttimes, when I know at home the prayers are being said,
And il is just about the lime (he children go to bed,
I slam my hai down on my head and I go out, and go
Through my town I am in, just walking 10 and fro
And seeing pictures of the kids all in their niglnies w hite,
And wishing daddy was al home to kiss them all goodnight.
The town thai I am in may be a city all alight,
And it may have a broad white way which makes day of night,
And every kind of show may be along ihat city's street,
But all the glare and blaze and noise don't coax my homesick feet :
I turn inlo a quiet street lhai wends away from town
When it's time my baby kneels and says her "Lay me down."
And I can see my children kneel, the soft light on their hair,
And I reach out my arms sometimes and wish that I was there.
And in the morning when ihe sun goes climbing up the sky,
And there's a baby bird outside just learning how to fly,
I stand there looking at the world not doing anything
Jusi thinking of my little ones: I hear their voices ring,
1 see their little hands held out, I see their glad eyes shine,
And with a laugh and run and jump they're in these arms of mine;
And always I get back to them the quickest way I can -
I guess I'm nothing much but just a plain old-fashioned man.
HIS FALL UNCHECKED.
Two insurance agents a Yankee
and an Englishman were brag
ging about their rival methods.
The Britisher was holding forth on
the system of prompt payment car
Tied out by hi people no trouble,
no fuss, no attempt to wriggle out
of settlement.
"If ihe man died tonight," he
continued, "his widow would re
ceive hr money by the first post
tomorrow morning."
"You don'i say ?" drawled the
Yankee. "See here, now, you
talk of prompt payment I Well,
our office is on the third floor of a
building forty-nine stories high.
One of our clients lived in that
forty-ninth story, he fell out of the
window. We handed him a check

Life
Was a
Misery
Mra. F. M. Jones, of
Palmer, Okla., wrilei:
" From Ihe time I en
tered into womanhood
... I looked with dread
from one month to the
next. I suffered with my
back and bearing-down
pain, until life to m was
a misery. I would think
I could not endure the
pain any longer, and I
gradually got worse. .
Nothing seemed to help
me until, one day, . .
I decided to
TAKE
The Woman's Tonic
" 1 took four bottles,"
Mn. Jonei goes on to
lay, "and was not only
greatly relieved, but can
truthiully uy that I have
not a pain. . .
" It hai now been two
yean since I tookCardui,
and I am still in good
health. , . I would ad
vise any woman or girl
to use Cardui who is a
sufferer from any female
trouble."
If you sutler pain caused
from womanly trouble, or
U you feel Ihe need of a
good strengthening tonic
to build up yourrun-down
aystem, lake the advice
ol Mrs. Jones. TryCar
dul. It helped her. We
believe it will help you.
