CHEERFUL WOMAN.
Everybody Welcomes a
Smiling Face.
There are emergencies in
every household which call for the
display of a statesmen's skill. The
cheerful woman is pre-eminent on
such occasions. She conquers the
grim uncle or the dyspeptic cousin
wiih her infestive cheerfulness,
and her servants recognize her as
their friend and ally in all matters
that are essential to their welfare, j
The length of time she keeps her j
servants is a source ot wonder
ment to her less fortunate friends,
but the secret of it is her own win
some disposition. She sooihes the
tired worker with a word of kind
commendation where another
night make a querulous complaint.
When direction is needed she de
livers it in such a gentle albeit firm
manner that it has no sting or re
proof. This gentle, tactful woman is
not afflicted with work that is from
"sun tosun," or that is "never
done." She does not moralize
much, perhaps, but by some means
she manages to accomplish a great
deal of work and have plenty of
time at her command. It is by
means of that same cheerfulness of
disposition. There is less delay in
executing her commands, and she
possesses the gift of "timing her
turns," so that sometimes it seems
as if the "fairies did help her."
And the fairies of getle breeding
and of kind heart do help her.
Everybody welcomes a smiling
face. All doors are open to it; all
social circles welcome it. It is an
open sesame to heart and home.
By it burdens are lightened, cares
dispelled, sorrows banished, and
hope made to reign triumphant
where fear, doubt and desponden
cy held high carnival.
QUEER ENQLISH.
Hundreds of death certificates
are handled annually by the Wis
consin Suite Board of Health in
making its classification of disease.
Many as hlltd out by the local
physicians and mailed to the board,
contain unusual comment as to the
cause of death. Some of these
found in the reports of I.. W.
Hutchcroft, chief statistician, fol
low:
A mother "died in infancy."
"Went to bed feeling well, bui
woke up dead."
'Died suddenly at the age of
103. To this time he bid fair to
reach a fair old age."
'Do not know cause of death,
but paiient fully recovered from
last illness."
"Deceased has never been fa
tally sick."
"Died suddenly; nothing seri
ous.
'Pulmonary hemorrhage sud
den death." (Duration four years.)
"Decutsed died from blood pois
on, caused by a broken ankle,
which is remarkable, as the auto
mobile struck him between the
lamp and the radiator."
If marrumc is a failure Solo
mon's wisdom didn't count for
very much.
Girls, if vou are at a loss to
kiinw how to lake a man, let him
stay where he is.
The secret of overcoming igro-
rance is to know the necessity.

THE OLD
There's a mother, bent and wrinkled, in a home back 'mong the hills,
And a longing for a letter that mother's lone heart fills,
Just a line from son or daughter who for years has passed away;
But the letter's long in coming, none she gets, day after day.
No one knows how still and lonesome is that house where years ago
Mother rocked the old red cradle, gently, gently, to and fro;
Soothed away child griefs with kisses, bound up cuts and fingers sore,
And a-smiling watched the playing on the spotless kitchen floor !
Merry children round the table; quaint old dishes white and blue;
Now none come when dinner's ready; table's only set for two !
Often, when the light is waning, from the little parlor stand
Mother takes an old-time picture in her work worn trembling hand :
Gazes on the face intently (such love's 'mong earth's chiefest charms);
"1 was never half so happy as when you were in my arms !
1 was often tired and weary, filled with care, and oft perplexed;
Had so much to do I wondered what the task 1 should do next.
But I'd bear the burden gladly, surfer what 1 did, and more,
If those days now gone forever 1 could see again live o'er!"
Now her longing's for a letter, as she does her household chores,
Write and tell her how you love her, if that lonesome mother's yours.
COMPANY.
There's a body at the knocker from the morn till dark o' night
If it wasn't for the men folk they'd be here by candlelight,
Though it's "just half a minute for to pass the time 'o day,"
Once they're sittin' by the cradle, what a deal they find to say !
First the little maids that's on the
Come on tiptoe while I hold the covers back for them to see;
Then their crannies brine me good advice that no one needs at home,
And their mothers bring a fairy tale
And the luck that's round the corner for the children growin' up,
Though there's some that's put about to find tomorrow's bite and sup,
Each lad's to drive his coach and
But the future seems so strange-like
And the old wife from the Poor'us
Says the child that's in the cradle
And my eyes is full o tears for her ana them she s dreamin ol,
Yet I somehow can't abide her grief so nigh my little Love.
Oh, the time is best when all are gone, the neighbors and the kin,
And I'm sittin' here between the lights until my man conies in.
With my hand inside the cradle times I'll almost say out loud
'Love, the two of us is comp ny;
MEBBE HE DID.
There was a certain bishop who
had a pleasant habit of chatting
with anybody he might meet during
his country walks. One day he
came across a lad who was look
ing after some pigs by the road
side, and the bishop paused to ask
him what he was doing, that being
his usual way of opening a conver
sation. "Mindin' swoine," the lad re
plied stolidly.
"Mi is that so? he comment
ed. "And how much do you earn
a week?"
"Twoshillin'." was the reply.
"Only two shillings?" remarked
the bishop. Then he continued
oleasaniiv. "1. too. am a shepherd,
but I get more than two shillings."
The lad look at him suspiciously
for a minute. Then he said slow
ly :
"Mebbe you gets more swoine
than me to moind." New York

Every pleasure is a possible
cause for a lot of pain.
The rule of love is usu.lly more
effective than the rule of might.
Its easy to be an optimist so long
as the right side only is visible.

"Enjoy your children all you can

sorrow may come when they are

to a young mother. "Take all the
sweetness that each day brings, and
live with it. Watch their growth;
enjoy theirexpressions of affection;
warm your heart with the glowing
love and unstinted admiration they
so freely bestow upou you; you
will never have a better lover than
your baby or girl. To them you
are the beautiful queen, the infal
lable one, the ruler of the house
hold and a very angel of joy and
mercy. They turn to you in glad
ness and sorrow, and find always
a present help. You are wise
enough to be all this to them now,
but when they are older they will
discover your limitations. They
will love you still, but with the
love of equality, not of adoration.

WHAT A GROUCH IS.
If You Have a Grouch
Get Rid of It, Shake It
Off, For it is About
Your Worst Enemy.
A grouch will turn the sweetest
disposiiion to vinegar.
It will set you against your fel
low man.
It will make you a nuisance to
other men.
It will impair your intellect, in
terfere wiih your appetite, cripple
your digestion, and make you an i
object of ridicule in the eyes of
other people. ,
It will reiard your work, drive j
your friends from you, cause yutir j
children to fear, and your relatives
to shun you.
It will turn the brightest tiny into 1
a murky fog, obscure the sun which
God gave you to rrj.iv. snl trans
form the sparkling waters nl purity
into the bitterness of gall. j
It will strip you of ambition, pull
you down to the depths, and wriie
"finals" to an otherwise brilliant
career.
It will chill the whinny of your
horse, kill the affections of your
faithful dog, and send your cat
scampering to cover.
It will rival the bellow of a bull,
put your fowls to flight, and make
music of the grunt of a pig.
It will make you a byword in the
community, an all around nuisance
to humanity, and an object of dis
gust to yourself.
It is full of peril and without a
single grace, for it is the hand of
the devil beconing you to hell.
Get rid of your grouch,
RETRIBUTION.
'Whatsoever a Man Soweth that
Shall He Also Reap."
Retribution, or the teaching that
we shall receive the punishment
that is due us in return for the sins
we commit, is not a very acceptable
doctrine in this age. But the Bible
still teaches it, the Church believes
it, and human experience bears
testimony to the fact that it never
fails. And here is a little story that
confirms our position on the sub
ject. If we persist in doing evil the
same return will be ours. A hunter
was one day shot dead in the for
est where he was seeking his fa
vorite game. In spite of every
effort to bring the murderer to
justice he nevertheless escaped
and his sin seemed to go unpunish
ed. But twenty years later the
murdered man's son who tookakn
at a stag in the same forest, missed
his mark and hit an unseen man.
The shot was fatal, and, as the man
lay dying, he said to the son of the
man whom he had so ruthlessly
murdered twenty years before, "I
am the man who shot your father,
right here, under this oak. The
very ground where I now lie was
dyed with his blood; and it has evi
dently been designed that you, son
of the murdered man, should on
this precise spot, without any
thought or intention of such a thing
avenge the act on me. God is
just!" And there he expired.
Ah! my friend, "be not deceived;
God is not mocked; for whatsoever
a man soweth, that shall he also
reap." Consider this well. Se
lected Philosophers and pretty women
are apt to be enamored of their
own reflections.

Is it possible there is a woman in this country who con
tinues to suffer without giving Lydia E. Pinkham's Vege
table Compound a trial after all the evidence that is con
tinually being published, which proves beyond contradic
tion that this grand old medicine has relieved more suffer
ing among women than any other one medicine in the world?
We have published in the newspapers of the United States
more genuine testimonial letters than have ever been pub
lished in the interest of any other medicine for women
and every year we publish many new testimonials, all gen
uine and true. Here are three never before published:
From Mrs. S. T. Richmond, Providence, R. I.

done I wish to state what Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound
has done for me. I did some heavy lifting and the doctor said ifc
caused a displacement. I have always been weak and I overworked
after my baby was bom and inflammation set in, then nervous pros
tration, from which I did not recover until I hatl taken Lydia E. Pink

when I hear of a woman with troubles like mine I try to induce her
