Wonderfttl Man.
Decem—Ginks had the most
wonderful control of his features
of any man I ever knew.
Bvrr—I understand he was a
marvel.
Decem—He was. Why, I've
even seen that man look pleased
when he saw what his wife had
bought him for Christmas.
Bryan says he wants to see the!
day when no matter which way i
the election goesjthe people will
win. Does the man realy hope'
to run on both tickets at the same
time before he dies?
Detective Burns v/ill have all
the work he attend to in his reg
ular profession, with probably a
few magazine contracts on the
side.
The police officer who thinks
he can solve a murder mystery
by following a clew suggested by
a dream should be advised that
even Sherlock Holmes never
dreamed of such a thing.
It takes a bride with a vivid
imagination to keep on believing
it is still the honeymoon when
she is busy at the washtub.

Terrible Picture oi Suffering
Clinton, Ky.—Mrs. ^.1. C. Me
Elroy, in a letter from Clinton,
writes:" For six years, I was a
sufferer from female troubles. I
could not eat, and could not stand
on my feet, .without suffering
great pain. I had lost hope. After
using Cardui a week, I began to
imj^rove. Now I feel better than
in six years." Fifty years of
success in actual practice, is
positive proof, furnished by those
who have used it, that Cardui
can always be relied on for re
lieving female weakness and
di'^ease. Try Cardui, today, now!
