there is less
est than

the state
ment. It is
trying to te
on the feet
all day, to
be reaching and
stooping hour
after hour from
in o r n until
mirht. And that
is a very meager
outline of a Imsi-
ness woman's day. With many such
women the ordinary strain of labor is
intensified and aggravated hy a diseased
condition of the delicate organs, and
they become victims of that terrible
backache, or blinding headache, which
is so common among rusincss women.
If voi are waring this burden, war
it no longer. For the backache, head
ache, nervousness and weakness which
spring from a diseased condition of the
womanly organs there is a sure cure
in Dr. Pierce's Favorite Prescription.
Half a million women have been per
fectly and permanently cured by this
wonderful medicine.

BADGE OF CARD SHARPS.
In Olden Times Hoards Were
Looked Upon With Suspicion
In tho Mississippi Valley.
"Back in 185D," rcuiarked a New Or-
enm prufcpsiooal man, dulling about
old linn's, "a muslaclie via regarded
wit li (ircnl (impicinn all through the
Mi.Hisiipi valtt-y . It win aupposud to

buckler or a gaubler, and a gntleuiaD,
particularly if he wanted to go ioto so

ed upon as an unclean foreign affectation
nj 1 recall a curious incident based on
that prejudice.
"A charming young English gentle
man who was a near relative of a distin
guished man of science was visidng at
a river town noted for its aristocratic and
punctilious society. lie was a line spec
imen of physical manhood, and, f'ellow
ini' a fashiou which had just obtained a
foothold in London, he wore a heavy
blond mustache aod a set of luxuriant,
ourly whiskers, much after tho siyle of
our old friend Taffy in "Trilby." No'
a lays he wuuld he envied the possession
of such a superb ornament, but the good
l idies of the town were greatly perplexed
el, and after much consultation they
finally decided (hut they could not ooun
tenanee such a barbarous custom and
would have to decline to receive him un
les he shaved. The young Englishman
realized that he had to choose between
whUkcH and ostracism, and, being
iilucky chap, he packed his trunk and
went baek to London on the next boat.
"To revert to the mysterious connr o
tion between gamblers and mustaches, a
thatched upper lip eventually became
such a well rt'Coguiz 'd badge of lha trade
that card sharps who wanted to avoid
suspicion were forced to shave clean. One
ailed professional who worked the big
river boats looked a great deal like
sanctimonious deacon when his mustache
was removed, and he used to make
point of dressing in a long tailed, rusty
black coal, with a white cravat. Going
Up lo Vieksburg one night, I was silling

at first, but finally said he 'calculated he
wasn't too old to learn' aod took a hand
A coup'e of hours later be got off at

remarking casually that he would now
give his mustache a chance,
"On another occasion 1 was going u
to Louisville on some important busines
and had been warned especially to lool
out for gamblrs. We had the usual
crowd of sharpers on board, but they
were all shaved clean, and it chanced that
among our passengers were 1 101 or army
men fresh from the west, where mus
ache! were countenanced. Consequent
ly, wheo we reached Louisville aod
made some inquiries of friends, I w
chagrined to find that all the people
bad been fraternizing with were gamblers
and all those I had been snubbing an
avoiding were gentlemen." New Orleans

THE RIGHT SQRT OF WOMAN.
It is no good howling over spilled milk
and the right sort ot woman docs not
allow ibe frets and worries of everyday
life to disturb her serenity. Whether
the day be dark or bright, she preserves
her calm aod cheerful spirit and is
perfeel godsend In ihe nerve racked and
irritable folk around her.
Ii is she lii lainra the gouty old
uncle i I the fiaciioiis infant. To Ii
both old aol young alike mm io lb
troubles lo be cheered and coiuforti
Her kin lly sympathy and large bean
make her see the reason for other people
tins and liiiillles and lo extend lo liieui
the ri jil hand of fellowship. She might
not do well as a judge in a court ol law,
but she is a very pleasant and lovable
wo nao, and by her very charity and her
power of seeing the best in every one she
oalls forth their best even from society's
black sheep, inspiring them to strive to
riso ou stepping stones of their dead
selves to higher things. She never gives
a dog i bad name, and by not doing so
she saves many a one from earning it.
Aii Inference.
"I just know shi is ten years older
thin she admits," said the woman with
the sharp nose.
"How?" Sited the other half of the
duo.
"Why would the be letting that 16-
year-old kid make love to her if the were

A CHILD'S CONFIDENCE.

one has implicit and boundless oorjfi-

and how hard wo try not to spoil that

hcther their children believe in them
or not!

she should be the confidant, the grown

The girl who cannot make a confidant of
her mother will find such a bosom friend

A TOUCHING SCENE.
THE OLD MAN'S CHILDREN.
It Is A Beautiful Sight To See
The Aged Loved By Their
Children And Grandchildren.
It is always charming to see children
manifest tcuder affection toward their
parents, and this is still more pleasing
when Ihc "children" are themselves men
and women.
Tb writer rcmcmbsrs beiig on a rail-
road train several years ago, warn direct-
ly in front of him sat a kindly looking,
snowy - haired old man, ovidenlly unac-
customed lo travelling, and as manifestly
io his "second childhood." He was vert
talkative, and he told me all about the
journey he was taking.
"I'm going out to Iowa to see my sob
Jimmy and my daughter Nellie. Just
think 1 I ain't seen cither o' them chil
dren for most six years, and if they ain't
tickled to see me I'll be mistaken. An'
this train seems to fairly drag. I get so
impatient ev'ry time it stops at a station 1
Wish it'd keep right on an' never stop
until we git to K ; that's where Jim-
my and Nellie live."
He began gathering up his few bclong-
ings when wc were still an hour's ride
from his destination
"I want to be all ready to git right off
when we stop," he said. "Jimmy and
Nellie'll both be at the depot to mtet
me, although they live nine miles out io
the country, aod there ain't need o' both
o' them comin'. But they'll be there
you see if they ain't.'
When we readied K the) excited
old man started to leave the car in eager
haste. But the train had not yet come
to a standstill when a great bearded giant
of a man, fully fifty yean of age, hurried
into the car.
"Jimmy I called out the old man,
eagerly. "Here I am, Jimmy I"
Father !" cried the son, and he took
the little old man right into bis arms and
hugged him, while tears stood in the eyes
of both.
A stout, plainly clad, middle-aged wo
man appeared at the car door, aod cried
out, "Father! 1 hen she turned and
called lo some one on the platlorm
"Here he is ! Here's father I"
"Nellie, my girl I" said the old man.
Ihe son and daughter btth had an
arm around the father as he left the car,
On tho platform were seven or eight
I'.randchildren of from five to tweuty
years of age.
Here's your gran'pa!'' said Nolliej
joyfully; and a great hugging aud kiss
ing time ensued.
Of courBo the passengers in the car
and the bystanders on the platform
smiled; but I think that most of them
agreed with a lady on the oar, who said :
It is a beautiful sight to see an old
man loved and reverenced by bis chil
dren and grandchildren, aid I only wish
that such exhibitions of affection were
more common."

There Isn't One Man In A Hun
dred Who Could Go On The
Witness Stand And Give The
Same Excuses For Not Going
To Church That Ho Gives To
His Family Every Sunday.
So you are not going to church this
morning r
Ah, yes; I see. "The music is not
good " That'i a pily. That's what you
go to church for, to hear the music we
demand.
"And the pews are not comfortable."
That's too bad the Sabbath is the day
of rest, and we go to church for repose.
The less we do through the week the
more rest we clamor fur on the Sabbath.
1 he church is so far away; it is too
far to walk, and I detest riding in a street
car, and they're always crowded on the
Sabbath." This is, iodeed, distressing.
Sometimes when I think how much far
ther away Heaven is than tho church,
and that thete are no conveyances on the
road of any description, I wonder how
some of us are going to get there.
"And the sermon is so long always."
All these things arc, indeed, to be re
gretted. I would regret them mora sin
cerely, ray boy, did I not know lhat you
will often squeeze into a stuffed street
car, with a hundred other men, breathing
an incense of whiskey, beer and tobacco,
hang to 1 strap by your eye lids for two
miles, lod then pay fifty cents for the
privilege of sitting oi a rough plank in
the hot sun for two hours longer,' while
in the intervals of the game i soraloh
band will blow discordant thunder out
of a dozeo misfit horns light into our
ears, aod come home to talk the rest of
the family into a state of aural paralysis
about the "dandiest game you ever saw
played on that ground."
Ah, my boy, you see what staying
away from church does. It develops a
habit of lying. There isn't one man in a
hundred who could go on the witness
stand and give, under oath, the same rea
sons for not going to church that he gives
to his family every Sunday morning. My
son, if you didn't think you ought to go,
you wouldn't make any excuses fur not
going. No man apologi7.es lor doing
right. Bob. Burdette to his son.
