TIPPING OFHHE AUDIENCE.
After No One Could Say He Did
Not Know What He Had to
Expect.
When Representative James
B. Aswcll, of Natchitoches, La.,
was superintendent of schools
for his state he mude a tour of
Arkansas for the purpose of
pursuadin the Arkansans to
submit to heavior local taxa
tion for the benefit of the pub
lic schools, Mr, Aswell lias
never been a dub in the art of
speaking, and on this trip he
fairly burned up the country
side with his eloquence, indu
cing the rural populace to part
with rea money..
One night he was to face an
audience far back in the coun
try, in a neighborhood that had
never been profaned by the
screech of a locomotive or the
soft rumbling of a spring wag
on. At the appointed hour the
farmer who was to introduce
him stepped to the front of the
platform, mopping his brow
with a bandanna and gasping
for breath. He then spoke as
follows, with all the labor nec
essary to overturn a house or
uproot an oak :
"Ladies and gentlemen, you
know I ain't used to makin' no
speeches. I ain't never per
tended to be no oraytor. Be
sides, it's a'hot night, a power
ful hot night, an' you wouldn't
expec' me nohow to wear you
out with a long speech. But
I'll now introduce a man who
will."-Mack's National Month

WE DO NOT CARE.
We do not care what the world may say
If those whom we love are true;
We do not mind the toil of (he day ,
If we know in the dusk and the dew
There waits some one who will welcome us
As we.come home to rest
Some friend who will say, "Dear heart, I know
That to-day you have done your best."
We do not mind if the ihorns are sharp,
Or the pathway is rough and sleep;
We do not mind if we plow and sow
For others to come and reap,
If we can but hear, when the twilight comes
And the red in the wesi grows gray,
Some dear voice whisper these words of cheer :
"You have fought a good fight to-day."
For the heart don't care what the world may say
If those whom it loves are true;
For 'twas ever and always the heart's own way
To long for the love and true.
You forget the gain, the loss and the pain
That tortures your pulsing breast,
If there's one who always in sweet blind faiih
Can say : "You have done your best I"
LEISURELY LANE.
Is there no road now to Leisurely land? We traveled ii long ago;
A place for the lagging of leisurely steps, sweet and shady and low,
With rims of restful hills beyond, and fieiis of dreamful wheal,
With shadows of clouds above them blown, and poppies asleep at our feet?
There lads and maids on a Sunday met, and strolled them iwo by two,
The leaves they wove in a roof o'erhead and only ihe sun peered through
And there was time to gather a rose and lime for the wild bird's call,
And plenty of time to sit by a stream and hearken its ripple and fall.
Is there no road now to Leisurely lane? God knows we have wandered
afar !
There was once a lamp through the brooding dusk, and over the tree
a star,
There was once a breath of the clover bloom sweet Heaven have we
hurried so long!
And there was a gate by a white rose clasped and out of the. dusk a
song. "
That song the echo is strange and sweet, the voice ii is weak and old,
It has no part with this fierce wild rush, and this hard mad fight of goldl
It has no part with the clamor and din, the jar of wheel and stone
O listen, my heart, and forget forget thai we reap the bread we have
sown!
Is there no road now 10 Lisurely lane? where, lingering, one by one.
The summoning bells of twilight-lime over the meadows blown
May find us, strolling our homeward way, glad of the evening star.
Is there no road to Leisurely lane ? God knows we have hurried afar.
"Don't Stop Work at 70, Do More I
of It," Says Authority.
London Correspondence of the New
York Hun.
"Don'i stop work at 70; do
more of it." remarked Sir Gilbert
Parker a few days ago, and Sir
James Critchton-Browne, an ac
knowledged authority on longevity '
agrees with Sir Gilbert thoroughly.
"If you want a feeble and miser
able old age, give up working,"
said Sir 'James, who, although
born as long ago as 1840, is one
of the busiest men in the kingdom
today. "The most vigorous pe
riod of human life in its entirety is
obviously between 25 and 40 years
of age," he added, "but lo say that
men above the latter age are com-1
paratively useless is to fly in the
face of the biographical dictionary.
Much of the best work of the world
has been done by men over 40,
and we should by no means stand
where we are, but be back in the
twilight ages, if bereft of what these
men accomplished.
"Musical expression, like speech,
reaches its acme in late middle life.
But higher in the cerebral hier
archy than speech or music cen
tres are others concerned in the
manifestation of purely intellectual
powers, such as reason and judg
ment, which come to perfection
late, and may long preserve their
integrity. A preponderance of the
work involving calm and powerful
reason is done by men from 55 to
70 years of age. Our judicial sys
tem in this country has been built
up mainly by judges from 55 to
85 years of age, and in almost all
countries the most momentous af-.
fairs of state have been reserved
for the decision of men at this lime
of life.
"The way to make old age pee
vish and repulsive is to rob it of
the hopes by which it is sustained
and tranquilized. Depend on it,
the best antiseptic against senile
decay is an active interest in hu
man affairs, and those keep young
longest who love most. It is a co
gent argument against celibacy and
the limitation of families' that they
deprive old age of those vernal in
fluences in which parents renew
their youth.
"We are justified in holding that
given favorable conditions and bar
ring accidents, 100 years is the
normal duration of man's life, the
goal which we should hold in view
and at which, if we guide our foot
steps aright, an ever-increasing
number of men and women should
arrive."

Reliable evidence Is abundant that women
are constantly being restored to health by
Lydla B. Plnkham's Vegetable Compound
The many testimonial letters that we arc continually pub
lishing in the newspapers; hundredsof them are all genu
ine, true and unsolicited expressions of heartfelt gratitude
for the freedom from suffering that has come to these
women solely through the use of l.ydia E. Plnkham's
Vegetable Compound.
Money could not buy nor any kind of influence obtain
such recommendations ; you may depend upon it that any
testimonial we publish is honest and true if you have any
doubt of this write to the women whose true names and
addresses are always given, and learn for yourself.
Read this one from Mrs. Waters:
Camden, N.J. "1 was sick for two years with nervous spells, and
my kidneys wore affected. I hud a doctor all the time and used a
galvanic battery, but nothing did me any good. I was not able to go
to bed, but mient my time on a couch ov in a sleeping-chair, and goon
became almost a skeleton. Finally my doctor went away for his
health, and my husband heard of l.ydia E. linkham's Vegetable
Compound and got me some. In two months I got relief and now I
am like a new woman and am at my usual weight. I recommend
your medicine to every one and so does my husband." Mrs. Tili.ii
Wateks, 1135 Knight St, Camden, N.J.
And this one from Mrs. Haddock:
Utica, Oki.a. "I was weak and nervois,not able to do my work
and scarcely able to be on my feet. I had backache, headache, palpi
tation of the heart, trouble with my towels, and inflammation. .Since
taking the Lydia K. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound I am better
than I have been for twenty years. I think it is a wonderful medi
cine and I have recommended it to others." Mrs. JLvky Ann Had
dock, Utica, Oklahoma.
Now answer this question if you can. Why should a
woman continue to suffer 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?
