Centuries of Custom Have De creed That She Should Not Tact Leads the Way. If? Js Every little while the lime-worn question "Should woman pro pjse?" takes a new lease of life, and the war of wits wages merrily for a time. It is always taken as a huge joke, not to be considered seriously for a moment. Of course women should not propose, and she never will, in the strictest sense of the word. But f we only knew the true inward ness of many a case, I wonder how many women do indirectly pro pose. They do not say, in so many words, "Will you marry me?" but they attend to all the settings and give the leading man his cue, and before he realizes what he is doing he finds himself an engaged man. Perhaps he never really knows just how much assistance he has had. Some men actually need this prodding to bring them to the pro posal point. They hang around the girl tor ages, never getting their courage up to do the asking, and all the time keeping other eli gible men away from her. Who can blame the girl or call her unmaidenly if she helps such a tardy wooer along a bit? She does not propose to him ; she simply makes it easy for him to propose to her. There are some girls, alas! who practically ask a man his intentions before he knows them himself. They are the girls who are not willing to accept mere friendship from a man with them it is love making or nothing. That they frequently end by being old maids does not seem to be a warning to others of their kind. A girl cannot expect a man to propose to her unless sne gives him some encouragement, but there is a happy medium in love making as in all other things. If a man is attentive to a girl and she likes him, there is no harm in her showing her liking in a mod est, dignified way. bhe need not run after him, but she can let him see that she likes to be with him and that his coming is always wel come. If she rushes nervously into con versation every time there comes a significant pause in their conver sation, she can defer the proposal indefinitely unless the young man is a determined wooer. Centuries ot custom have de creed that woman should not pro- Dose to man. It is an unwritten law, but a very stringent one, The mere fact of a woman seeking him would be enough to send the ordinary man cantering gayly in the opposite direction. But many a man is gently pro pelled in a given direction without being aware of the fact. As long as he thinks he is doing exactly what he wants to be is perfectly happy. It is a very tactful woman who can lead without showing her hand. Some day, perhaps, when wo man has made so muck of a place for herself in the world that she is financially on a plane with man, she can propose with the best of them, but until then she had better be content with her womanly priv ilege of being sought. It is more of an honor to be sought than to sue. Help things along if you can; do so modestly and tactfullv, butdon'i force the situation, ancrnever for get your womanliness, Children Cry FOR FLETCHER'S CASTORI A Praise Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound Women from the Atlantic to the Pacific, from all sections of this great country, no city so large, no village so small but that some woman has written words of thanks for health restored by Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Com pound. No woman who is suffering from the ills peculiar to her sex should rest until she has given this famous remedy a trial. Is it not reasonable to believe that what it did for these women it will do for any sick woman ? Wonderful Case of Mrs. Crusen, of Bushnell, 111. Bushnell, III. "I think all the trouble I have had since my marriage was caused by exposure when a young girl. My work has been housework of all kinds, and I have done milking in the cold and snow when I was too young to realize that it would hurt me. I have suffered very much with bearing down pains in my back and such miserable pains across me, and was very nervous and generally run down in health, but since I have taken Lydia E. Pinkhani's Vegetable Compound my back never hurts me, my nerves are Rtronger, and I am gaining in health every day. I thank you for the great help I have received from your medicine, and if my letter will benefit suf fering women I will be glad for you to print it." Mrs. James Crusen, Bushnell, Illinois. A Grateful Atlantic Coast Woman. FIoDonoN, Mr. "I feel it a duty I owe to all suffering women to tell what Lydia E. Tuikham's Vegetable Compound did for me. One year ago I found myself a terrible sufferer. I had pains in both sides and such a soreness I could scarcely straighten up at times. My back ached. I had no appetite and was so nervous I could not sleep, then I would be so tired mornings that I could scarcely get around. It seemed almost impossible to move or do a bit of work and I thought I never would be any letter until I submitted to an opera tion. I commenced takuig Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound and soon felt like a new woman. I had no pains, slept well, had good appetite and was fat and could do almost all my own work for a fam ily of four. I shall always feel that I owe my good health to your medicine." Mrs. IIaywakd Sowmts, Hodgdon, Maine. For SO rears Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound has been the standard remedy for fe male ills. No one sick with woman's ailments does justice to herself if she docs not try this fa mous medicine made from roots and herbs, it has restored so many sufferingwoiuentohealth.

I do not know what future days are holding Of joy or pain to me, Beyond the veil of coming hours, enfolding I cannot look and see. Nor do I ask for prophet's sight revealing The future's hidden way; I ask but strength to meet what fate's concealing Beyond today's today. I do not pray for wealth or highest station Among my fellowmen, Nor would I measure life by year's duration Between the now and then. I do not long for pomp or might or power That rules by dint of fear; I only ask to lighter make some hour For those that I hold dear. I do not know when from my sleep awaking What that day holds in store; I may not see another morning breaking This side the other shore. Each coming hour is fraught with mystic meaning That only God can plan. My prayer is that I, on God's arm leaning, May meet them like a man. THE GATES OF DREAMING. They have broken the gates of dreaming until no more they swing To the song of the golden hinges and the lifted latches of spring. They have charged the world to awaken, They have ordered that man must do; But still by the gates of dreaming Stands love with her eyes of blue. They have built as a high road farther than the lanes could ever go, And the march of the mighty races is a thunder to and fro. They have cried to the vision makers To take up hammer and hoe, But over the gates of dreaming The lilac still leans low. Ah, give me the gates of dreaming, and over my head the star, If I never get beyond them, my visions may yet go far, And in a dream of building, While the world builds, rear my tower; But not in the trades of peoples, And not in the paths of power. They have broken the gates of dreaming and cast them down to rust, But we shall build them forever in the fragments of the dust. And the doers shall near us singing, And the strength they have will be From the spell of dreams we fashion Of the bloom and the melody.

Sullivan, unshaven and unkept, emerged from the bar of the Grand Hotel, at Broadway and Thirteenth street, stood for a momwt looking back at the door, and then walked uncertainly up town. It was 8 o'clock in the evening, and the ex-pugilist brushed shoulders with well groomed people hurrying to the theatres. He was the derelict of thesiream. On his face there was a half smile, but it wasn't a pleasant one. At the corner of Thirteenth street he met 'Morry" Cohen and newspaper man, wiih both of horn he was acquainted. He growled something incoherent in response to their greetings, and as apparently about to pass on. lui he r-iuscJ be.iiJe tluui and said : I've just been turned down n that barroom for a last drink. 1 wanted one drink more, and didn't ave the price- They didn't give t io me. I hey put me out. I hey idn't send the proprietor or man ager to put me out; they sent the porter. I've spent five thousand dollars over that bar, and they put me out because I wanted a drink nd couldn't pay for it. There's only one thing you can figure out of a proposition like that: Quit drinking. Tonight I quit. That's the true story of John L. Sullivan's last drink. Eight years have passed, and the John L. Sul- ivan, who was tottering then on the edge of the gutter, looks eight years younger today than he did that night. And he has an estate worth more than a hundred thous and dollars. Cincinnati Times- Star. CASTOR1A For Infants and Children In Use For Over 30 Years Always bears the Signature of OVER NIGHT. Take My Advice, John, Qo Home and Sleep On It To-Night. 'I can't seem to decide what to do in this matter," worried the young business man. He had gone to an older friend for advice. 'Must it he settled at once, to day?" the other asked. "Oh, no. The thing doesn't come up for settlement until next week. But I always like to clear my desk every day and this came out this morning." "It's ordinarily a good rule to clear the day's work up in the day," agreed the older man. "But such cases as this are exceptions. Take my advice, John, go home and 'sleep on it' tonight. That's a good old fashioned rule for both ersome things, you know. Some one Whitney; I think says: "It's good to put a bother away over night; it all straightens out in the morning.' He is right, too. There is divine magic in the silence and rest and darkness of the night and in the relaxing of tense brain and nerves in sleep. The knots in many a problem have untied them selves while the bothered brain and befogged judgment rested from the task. Take the question home with you, but not in a spirit of worry. Put it before the Lord in your prayer tonight it's a point He will help you to handle. Then leave it to Him while you rest, and I think you'll find that He who never slumbers and never sleeps will have the answer ready for you in the morning." It was a week later when they met again, and the older man ask ed how the matter had gone. "All right," the hearty response. "I did as you said and the very thought of God soothed and quiet ed and rested me. I reverently believe He took the responsibility and gave me the before unth ought solution that came in the morning.

But There are two very distinct classes of newspapers in this coun trytwo extremes and the public sets a different standard for each. Just why, no one knows but it does. Of the one it requires truthful ness, decency, and moderaiion. Of the other it requires noihing it just takes what is handed out, and looks for more. The great metropolitan daily gaihers up the news of the world and that news is read at the break fast table, or during the day, or after the evening meal. The reader seldom pauses to re member that reporters and editors have warped and colored much of that news up to satisfy the public craving for sensations. Ii may contain a few grains of truth and a few bushels of fake. The country paper gaihers up the news of the home community and sends it forth on press day. That news must be truth, or the Editor's reputation for veracity is ruined and his career of usefulness is at an end. Faults that are condoned or en tirely overlooked in the big daily are unanimously condemned in the humble weekly. The city daily often builds up a tremendous circulation by ponder ing to one of the worst elements in humanity the insatiable desire for scandal. ine country weekly builds up its circulation by catering to a higher plane of citizenship, by the dissemination ot tacts in its news columns, by a rigid adherance to truthfulness in its utterances. The world has apparently learned to expect about a certain amount of fakery, exaggeration, sensation alism and sensuality in the metro politan daily, though happily there are a few dailies that are dis appointing to their readers in this respect, they are decent. Of the country weekly it de mands the traversing of the straight and narrow path the elimination of suggestive and questionable matter the publication of a sheet which would not shock Christ if he came to earth.
