I had been troubled, a
Mrs. L Fincher, in a letter
not taken down, until March,
to have a doctor. He did all he could for me, but I got no
better. I hurt all over, and 1 could not rest. At last, 1 tried
Cardul, and soon I began to improve. Now I am in very
good health, and able to do all my housework."
Cardui Woman'sTonic
You may wonder why Cardul Is so successful, after
other remedies have failed. The answer Is that Cardul Is
successful, because it is composed of scientific ingredients,
that act curatively on the womanly system. It is a medicine
for women, and for women only. It builds, strengthens, and
restores weak and ailing women, to health and happiness.
If you suffer like Mrs. Fincher did, take Cardui. It
will surely do for you, what it did for her. At all druggists.

SHOULD WOMEN PROPOSE?
Shyness and Diffidence are Not
Essentially Feminine Qualities,
But Simply the Result of Teach-inR.
Hero romps a Social Science
lecturer nml got-s further than
the itihocatos of suffrage for
women. (leorgu Willis Cooke,
of Boston, thinks they should
lie nllnwed to propose. Listen
to him:
"A girl liv all iih'iiiih," said
lie, 'should propose to a mail
if he is her ideal. Kroliomie
independence will (five them
this liherty. With the coming
of KiilTi,iie they will act for
tlii'in:-elves not. only politically
lint socially,
"li'llidence anil shyness of
girls in loveiiiiiking is a subter
fuge a part of the present so
cial teachings. When women
nre taught or learn to act nat
urally their present false mod
esty will fall away and they
will do the proposing, as they
ought.
"Shyness and dillidence are
not essentially feminine quali
ties, luit simply the result of
teaching. Among the Zuni
Indians these qualities are ex
actly changed. It is the boy
who is so called modest, diffi
dent and shy. This is plain,
for there ho leaves his own
home when married, just as
the girl does here.
"Another reason why women
should do the proposing is that
they are getting better educa
ted than the men, and there
fore will select more intelligent
ly and will be nioro cautious.
Marriages will be happier, and
in time it will be the women
who will do the courting."
I'rof Cooke will find many
women who favor suffrage for
the fair sex. but he ill not be
able to discover many who are
unwilling to allow th" men to
(''Utiffue to have a monopoly
of proposing.

Some Jiiy you will regret it,
The harsh word that you've said;
And then perhaps 'twillbe too late,
For the friend may be dead.
Some day you will regret it,
The sin you now commit;
'Twill be too late for God will ,
In judgment upon you sit.
Some day you will regret it,
The insult that you gave;
The wounded look will come to you,
As spectral as the grave.
Some day you will regret it,
The heart that you made sad;
And oh! if you could call it back,
The calling would make you glad.
Some day you will regret it,
The friendship that you broke;
When God shall cast you in the dark,
And you feel his vengeance stroke.
Some day" you will regret it,
The malice that you bore;
When God shall call vou to account,
When the limit of life is o'er.
Some day you will regret it,
The loving life you marred;
When you can see a glimpse of light,
Of heaven from which you are barred.
Some day you will regret it,
The evill tint! you did,
When, perhaps, the one you wounded.
Rests under the coffin lid.
In your deeds of every day,
See that no evil is let;
And live your life so there will be,
Nothing left to regret.

BEMOANING THE PAST.
Life Is Renlly Too Short For This
Sort of Thing.
It is not unusual to meet
people who are always bemoaning
the past. There are many such
who spend more energy in think
ing what they ought to have done,
and chiding themselves for not
having done it, than in thinking
what they ought to do and plann
ing how to doit.
Life is really too short for this
sort of thing; there is too much to
be achieved in the present and in
the future to justify continuous
dwelling on unimproved opportu
nities in the past. It is always in
order and in time to turn over a
new leaf to begin again, to make
steppingstones of the sins and er
rors and mistakes ot the past, re
membering them only so long as
to learn how to avoid and over
come (hem in the future.
"Oh, if I could live my life over
again," says one "how differently
I would act." But you cannot
live it over again. The only thing
vou can do is to live to-dav as well
as you can, to straighten your lines !
of action, and see that they all j
point upward, away from the '
wrong, toward the right. Time j
spent in mere idle regrets is worse
than wasted.
The atmosphere of regret is de
bilitating, enervating. It should
be avoided by us as we avoid ma
larial atmospheres and those satu
rated with infection. A great pur
pose will lift one out of regrets,
and failing a great purpose many
smaller ones will accomplish the
same end. In such a world as this
there is always enough affirmative
positive good to be done to occupy
all one's time and thought, all
one's capacity of doing and willing.

A MODEL LOVE STORY.
Her Bright Smi itaunted Him.
Would you like a "real for
sure" love story today ?
The prettiest one I know is
that of Arthur ForteHoue, neph
ew of tllrt Duke oi I'oi 'All
and OlgiiVoriiiliotr,ii Dukhoboi
maid of Canada.
A few years ago Forteocue,
a dashing, handsome graduate
of Oxford, with the wanderlust
in bin veitiH, went away to Can
ada to neek adventures.
In Quebec bo heard many
tales of those strnngo people,
the Iiukhoborn their queer re
ligiotm beliefs, their persecu
tion in Russia and their coming
to Uunada.
Which appealed to Fortes
cue. He determined to go on a
visit to the community, study
the people at first hand and
write a book about them.
The book was never written.
One day in his travels thru
the colony the young man met
a band of women dressed in
strange attire, drawing a plow
and chanting a minor keyed
song as they toiled at the ropes.
As they passed his eyes rested
for a moment on the sweet face
of a girl in her teens. She look
ed at him shyly, and he thought
her face the most winsome he
had ever seen.
The incident was forgotten.
But one day in a little cabin
the vision of the girl's face
flashed across his memory. He
could not forget it. Impulsive
ly be started to find her and
after a long journey succeeded.
He found the girl unaffected,
but surprisingly sweet and wo
manly. Alter weeks of hesitancy lie
took the little maid to his heart
tiid kissed her.
Friends, beariii lie was to
many the maid, tiied to ilis-j
made Mini. They said bis fan
c.v for the girl would fade
Nevertheless the nobleman and
the Dukhobor lass were wed
de 1.
The news went l ack to Eng
land, and Fortescue was disin
herited. But before he heard of
bis disinheritance-little recked
he was of the ways of aristoc
racybe bad adopted the sim
ple creed of the Dukhobors and
entered tbo communal life.
That was eight years ago.
Fortescue by reason of his
education has become a leader
among the pious folk and is
still very much in love with
his pretty, gentle hearted wife.
And thus endeth the true tale
of Robert Fortescue, nobleman,
and Olgn Yoriuhoff, Dukhobor
maid.
