It is not n home in the full meimiiitf of the term. To make n coinplctc home you need it complete: set of hu man relations, as per the ful lowinK list prepared by Nature und indorsed by the best tradi tions: Husband and father. Wife nml mother. Children, including babies and adolescents; Sisters and brothers, Grandfather, Grandmother. Guests, And a dash of Neighbors and Friends. If you lack any one of these items you miss something, the home is not perfect. If there is one of these rela tionships you have neverknown your life is by so much mffim ed. It is the fashion to speak dis paragingly of relatives, but they are a part of the environ ment of Nature, and if you get nothing but annoyance from them, something ails you. Volt might as well curse the sun and stars as hate relatives. There be hot loves and way ward loves, anil they have their place; but blessed is the man, and thrice blessed the woman, that love the people that ought to be loved. There are grandmother and grandfather, for instance. The child that has them not has missed one of the sweetest ele ments that makes memory hap py. They understand children better than parents, for they have learned that so many things that worry are not much matter. And plenty of brothers and sisters, A solitary child in a house is a lame soul. Ho can never get that sound view of the world that comes to the member of a full family. As for babies, it's only a sort of imitation family where there are none. The very best ingre dients of our character come from dealing with babies. And I love a houseful of young folks, courting uge. The only wholesome, delightful, and cheering disease in or out of i the medicine books is lovesick- ness. When we grow past its agonizing stages we still ought to see it in others around us. ! Most cranks and dried up ' folks and pessimists and dis l agreeble people are victims of small families. They have been deprived of that wholesome I flow of the humanities that comes from a full set of rela ' (ions. 1 want to go back to Arthur j lixon's und eat at table where there are thirteen children and I a small army of grandchildren, ; and all about and everewhere love.

'My When a woman suffering from some form of feminine disorder is told that an operation is necessary, it of course frightens her. The very thought of the hospital operating table and the surgeon's knife strikes terror to her heart, and no wonder. It is quite true that some of these troubles may reach a stage where an operation is the only resource, but thousands of women have avoided the necessity of an operation by taking Lvdia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound. This fact is attested by the grateful letters they write to us after their health has been restored. These Two Women Prove Our Claim. Cary, Maine. " I feel it a duty I owe to all Kufferinir women to tell what Lydia 14. Pinlthara'a Vegetable Compound did for roe. One year ago I found myself a terrible sufferer. I had pains in both sides and such a soreness 1 could scarcely staigliten up at times. My back ached, 1 had no appetite and was so nervous 1 could not sleep, then I would be so tired mornings that I could scarcely get around. It seemed almost im possible to move or do a bit of work and I thought 1 never would be any better until I submitted to an opera tion. 1 commenced taking Lydia R Pinkham's Vegetable Compound and soon felt like a new woman. 1 had no pains, slept well, had good appe tite and was fat and could do almost Now answer this question if man submit to a surgical operation without first giving Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound a trial ? You know that it has saved many others why should it fail in your case? For SO years Lydia K.

In- opened, read and answered i by u v. :. . :.ild In strict FELLOW WHO'LL TAKE WIY PLACE, Mere's a toast that I want to think to a fellow I'll never know To the fellow who's going to take my place when it's time for nie to go. I've wondered what kind of a chap he'll be and wished 1 could lake his hand, Just to whisper "I wish you well, I'll like to give him the warm handclasp when never a friend seemed near, I've learned my knowledge by sheer hard work, and 1 wish I could pass it on To the fellow who'll take my place some day when 1 am gone. Will he see all the sad mistakes I've made and note the battles lost? Will he ever guess the tears they caused or the heartaches they'd cosi? Will he gaze through the failures and fruitless toil to the underlying plan, And catch a glimpse of the real intent and the heart of the vanquished man? 1 dare to hope lie may pause some day, when he toils as I have wrought, And gain some strength for his weary task from the battles I have fought, But I've only the task itself to leave wiih cares for him to face, And never a cheering word may speak to the fellow who'll take my place. Then here's to your healih, old chap; drink as a bridegroom to his bride; I leave and unfinished task to you, but God knows how I tried. I've dreamed my dreams as all men do, but never a one came true, And my prayer today is that all the dreams may be realized by you. And we'll meet some day in the great Unknown out in the realm of space; You'll know my clasp as I take your hand and gaze in your tired face. Then all our failure will be success in the light of the new-found dawn So here's "how" and health to the chap who'll take my place when 1 am gone. Sug Worrom. THE RECORD KEPT. It was only a cup of waier, with a gentle grace bestowed, But it cheered a lonely traveler upon the dusty road; For the way was long and dreary, and the resting-places few, And the sun had dried ihe streamlets and drunk up the sparkling dew; None noticed the cup of water as a beautiful act of love, Save the angels keeping the record, away in the land above; But ihe record shall never perish, ihe trifling deed shall live, For Heaven demands but little from those who have least to give ! It was only a kind word spoken to a weeping little child; But the thread of its grief was broken, and the little one sweetly smiled; And nobody stayed to notice so liny an act of love, Save the angels keeping the record in the wonderful book of above. And she who had spoken kindly went on in her quiet way, Nor dreamed such a simple action should count in the last great day. But ihe piiying words of comfort were heard a song of joy, And the listening angels blessed her from their beautiful home on high. h isn't the world-praised wonders that are best in our Father's sight, Nor the wreaths of fading laurels that garnish fame's dizzy height, But the piiying love and kindness, the work of the warm caress, The beauiiful hope and patience and self-forgetfulness; The trifle in secret given, the prayer in the quiet night, And the little unnoticed nothings are good in our Father's sight.
