i The iiiiiiisitr sal in his study !
i wditint; for l-llijbeth Conrow. He j
j wjs an old minister, and lie had i
spent nearly a life-lime in the ker- j
j vice of one parish, l ie knew the j
children and grandchildren (if his j
first parishioners, and for years he j
had had a custom ol summoning
to him each young man or woman
of his church lor a talk over what
he thought the critical point of the
young life -going to college, or
entering business, marriage, or
the opening of some new oppor
tunity. It was lilizebeth Conrow's
turn now. It seemed only yester
day thai she was a little starry-
eyed child showing him her new
toys. His eyes shadowed a little
gs he thought. He was old fash
ioned perhaps, but he shrank from
the idea of seeing women in cer
tain places and Mliaheih had al
ways been one of the children of
his heart. How would she meet
the tests of her chosen work?
There was a knock at the door;
he opened ii quickly, and liliza
beih, still like the little starry eyed
child, smiled up al him.
"I've conic I'm my sermon,"
she said.
For a time ihe old minister talk
ed about the years that lay behind
happy memories, merry ones,
now and then a sad one. Then
he asked of the future, and Eliza
beth talked eagerly of her hopes
and ambitions. Finally she check
ed herself. But you haven't given
nie my sermon," she said.
The old minister was sileni fur a
moment; then he looked down into
the girl's eyes.
"The sermon isn't mine," he
answered. "A teacher gave it to
me through something I read the
other day a teacher who has a
school down in the sad part of the
city, where no child can escape the
sight and know ledge of evil. One
day she told her pupils to bring
the next day a picture illustrating
light. One little fellow, to her dis
may, brought a terrible picture,
ind waved it iriumphanily before
her. Her heart sank at the sight
of it, and the boy's quick eyes
read that soiiieihinc was wrong.
He grew excited. 'Don't you
see?' he cried. 'Don't you see5' "
"The teacher shook her head
sadly.
'"Don't you see there?' he
pointed, fairly quivering w ith ex
citement.
"And there, shining through
the window in the picture, was a
crescent moon the one pure
thought in all. And the child, look
ing for light, had seen nothing of
the evil only the purity and beauty.
"Elizabeth, child, you have chos
en a diihcuit lire tt maKes my
heart tremble to think of what you
will have to face. There is one
safe way and only one. Look for
God everywhere and you will find
Him; and looking for Him, the
evil cannot touch your soul."

For years we have been stating in the newspapers of the
country that a great many women have escaped serious op
erations by taking Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Com
pound, and it is true.
We are permitted to publish in this announcement
extracts from the letters of five women. All have been
recently received unsolicited. Could any evidence be
more convincing?
IIIouoiiON', Me. "I had pains in both sides and Rueh a soreness
I eoulil .scarcely straighten up at times. 5Iy bark ached and I
was so nervous I could not sleep, anil I thought 1 never would be
any lietter until I submitted to an oie ration, but I commenced taking
Lydia K. Pinkliam'.s Vegetable Compound and soon felt like a new
Woman." Mrs. IIaywaud $ovehs, llodgdon, Me.
2SiiEi,iiYvii.i.K, Kv. "I suffered from a severe female trouble.
My right side hurt me badly it was finally decided that I
must lie ojierated upon. When my husband learned this he got a
bottle of I.ydia E. J'iukham's Vegetable C'oinjK)Uii(l for me, and after
taking it a fiv days I got better and continued to improve uutil I
urn now well." Mrs. Mollie Smith, K.F.D., Ishelby-ville, Ky.
3Hanhvkk, Pa. "The doi tor advised a severe operation, but my
husband got me I.ydia E. I'inkham's Vegetable Compound and I
experienced great relief in a short time. Now I feel like a new person
and can do a hard day's work and not mind it." Mrs. Ada Wilt,

eians said I would have to be taken to the hospital for an oper
ation as I had something growing in my left side. I refused to iiib
mit to the npratiou and took Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Com
poundand it worked a miracle in my ease, and I tell other women
what it has done for me." Mrs. Lauka A. Giuswold, 2437 East

THE BLIND MAN OF GUSHENDAl
The Blind Man of Cushendul lie walked along the street,
He sang when there was sunshine, he sang when there was sleet;
However chill the wind was, he never felt its smar
For spring was in his nauire and summer in his heart
The sharer of his cheerfulness a shape of mystery,
A gaunt dog led him by a string, a chum was he.
And so, in spite of sixty years, his wares abroad decried:
"Behold, w ho'll buy a statue now of Christ the Crucified ?
"God save you, little children all! The world is bright 10-day;
The sun is like a fireplace warm where all the angels play!"
The children on their way to school they answered him in kind,
And envied in the April mist the weather of the blind.
The Blind Man of Cushendal he had the larger sight,
There were no shadows in his world, but always glorious light;
He saw, beyond the autumn and the winter's chilling frown,
The endless June ot heaven, with the roses raining down.
INTERLUDE.
The days grow shorter, the nights longer;
The headstones thicken along the way;
And life grows sadder, but love grows stronger,
l-'or those who walk with us day by day.
The tear comes quicker, the laugh comes slower;
The courage is lesser to do and dare;
And the tide of joy in the heart falls lower
And seldom covers the reefs of care.
But all true things in the world seem truer
And the better things of earth seem best,
And friends are dearer as friends are few er,
And love is all as our sun dips west.
Then let us clasp hands as we walk together
And let us speak softly in love's sweetest tone;
For no man knows on the morrow whether
We two pass on or but one alone.
-lilla Wheeler Wilcox.
MIRANDY ON VOTES FOR WOMEN,
BY DOROTHY DIX, IN GOOD HOUSF.KF.F.PTNG.
The loneliness of age ! How few
think of this, and treat with ten
derness and consideration those
who have outlived their genera
tion, and whose early companions
and friends have been taken from
them ! Unable to engage in the
activities of life, they are no longer
brought into contact and sympathy
wiih those around them, and no
tie ol common interest and muiual
dependence binds them together.
They necessarily, to a great extent,
live in a world of their own with
which those around them are not
familiar.
The communings of their hearis
are with the scenes of the past
and the companions of other years
who have long ago passed away.
Lover and friends have been taken
from them, and their acquaintances
laid in darkness. The forms they
admired and loved are gone, the
eyes that looked into theirs with
the tenderest affection are sight
less, and the voices that cheered
and stirred their souls have long
since been silent. Their early
world of hope and joy has become
a desolation, and they sit in silence
contemplating the ruin that has
been wrought.

"Naw, Brer Jinkins," 1 goes on, "I don't take no stock in dis angel
sect business, which don't seem to wuk no whar in politics, for so fur
as I can see de onliest time that de female sect wears a halo is at de
polls. All de balance of de time we men an' women is a much of a
muchness, an' cut oft'de same bolt of cloth an' we's wrastlin' togedder
wid de same questions 'bout how we's gwine to pay de rent, an' keep
po'k chops in de skillet, an' give our chillun a little better chanst dan
we had. An' sometimes in a fambly hit's de husban' dat's got de
gumption, an' sometimes hit's de wife, an' we women has a finger in
ev'y pie, an' de men is glad an' proud to have our help. 'Ceptin' when
hit comes to votin', an' den dey diskivers dat we belongs to de angel
sect, an' is too good an' pure to mix up in politics. Dat's gittin' g
halo a little too sudden for my taste, besides which I don't lak de com
pany dat de angel sect has to keep in politics, for hit's only women, an'
idiots, an' criminals, an' de insane dat ain't got de right to vote.
"Now," I goes on, a-warmin' up to de subject, "1 ain't a-gwine to
dispute you dat hit's a almighty inconvenient tning to be a woman.
Dere ain't nothin' dat a woman is called on to do, from goin' upstairs
wid a lighted lamp in one hand an' a baby in de odder, an' holdin' her
frock betwixt her teeth to keep from steppin' on hit, tryin' to prove dat
she is a human being, dat hit ain't harder for her to do dan hit would
be for a man to, just becaze she is a woman. But whilst hit's a draw
back to have de female sect wisht on you in life, de good Lawd didn't
intend hit to be a disgrace, an' dat's whut you make hit when you
make bein' born a woman de line dat separates de sheep from de goats
in politics.

Let one who knows tell you
how.
Mrs. M. L. Hux, Third Street,

kidneys weak and I had pains in
my back and across my loins.
Mornings, I was so sore and stiff,
and tired so easily, that I could
not do my housework. 1 had
headaches and dizzy spells and
my sight was blurred. The kid
ney secretions were scanty, highly
colored and contained a brick dust
sediment. My ankles were swoll
