I X hen Abraham Lincoln was a young man lie ran lor the legisla ture in Illinois, and was badly swamped. He next entered busi ness, tailed, and spent seventeen years of his lile paying tip the debts of a worthless partner. He was in love wnli a hratililtil young woman to whom he became engageil then lie died. Later he married a wo man who was a constant burden ro him. lintcring poluier again, he ran lor congress, and again- was badly defeaied. He then tried to get an apptnitnvnt to the United Stairs land olfice, but failed. He became a candidate for the United Slates senate, and was badly de feated. In I S5G he became a can didate for ilie vice-presidency and was once more defeated. In KS5H he was deleaied by Douglas. One failure alter another bad failures great setbacks. In the face of all thi-, he eventually became one of the greatest men of America, whose memory is honored and loved throughout the world. When you contemplate the effect of a series of setbacks like this, doesn't it make you feel kind of .small to be come discouraged, lust because you think you are having a hard time in life'-" Children Cry FOR FLETCHER'S CASTOR I A soi'sds suspicious. Johnson had been one of the most diligent church workers in his town. ; hen the war came he enlisted and came back a wiser, if not a sadder, man. It- was the first Sunday, and Johnson had attended church from force of habit. It had been a long and tedious sermon, but at the close, the minister, seeing his old parishioner with eyes closed as if rapt in meditation, said : "We will close the services "with prayer. Mr. Johnson, will you lead?" Johnson snapped into it with a start: "The devil 1 will," he snorted. "I just dealt." SHEI-K ACCIDENT. "The bride and groom met by accident." "Very interesting. How come?" "She got a speck of dust in her eye and he thought she was wink ing at hnii." ORDERS ARE ORDERS. On a 191 S troop train these two orders were pasted on the wall: Divisional: No liquor i per mitted aboard troop trams. Regimental: Don't throw bot tles out of the windows, IDEAL. Mrs. North; "My In.sbaud spends all hiseveningsatthe club," Mrs. West: "What a happy home life you must have!"

CARDIil HELPED REGAIN STRENGTH Alabama Lady Wai Sick For Three Years, Suffering Pain, Nervous and Depreiied Read Her Owa Story of Recovery. Taint Rock, Ala. Mm. C. M. Rtell, Of near here, recently related the Col lowing Interesting account of her re covery: "I was in a weakened con dition. I was sick three years In bed. luffert-g'a great deal of pain, weak, nerrout) depressed. I was bo weak, I couldn't walk across the floor; Just had to lay and my little ones do the work. I was almost dead. I tried every thing I heard of, and a number ot doctors. Still I didn't get any relief. I couldn't eat, and slept poorly. 1 believe if I hadn't heard of and taken Cardul I would have died. I bought Ix bottles, after a neighbor told me what It did tor ber. "I began to eat and sleep, began to gain my strencth nnd am now well and strong. I huveu't hud any trou ble since ... I ra can testify to the good that Cardul did me. I don't think there Is a better tonic made and I believe It saved my life." For over 40 years, thousands of wo men have used Cardul successfully, in the treatment of many womanly ailments. If you suffer as these women, did, take Cardul. It may help you, too. At all druggists. 85 PEACE. 15 Y I I 11 N R Y W . I. 0 N G 1; L L I. 0 W . Were half the power that fiils the world with terror, Were half the wealth bestowed on camps and courts, Given to redeem the human mind from error, There were no need of arsenals or forts. The warrior's name would be a name abhorred! And every nation that should lift again Its hand against a brother, on its lorehcad Would wear foreverinore the curse of Cain! Down the dark future, through long generations, The echoing sounds grow fainter and then cease; And like a bell, with solemn, sweet vibrations, I hear once more the voice of Christ say, Peace' Peace ! and no longer from its braen portals The blast of War's great organ shakes the skies! But beautiful as'songs of the immortals, The holy melodies of love arise. SUNSET, Sunset and quiet; and the crimson glow Of Twilight's halo on the western hill! Over the fields Dusk walk and curtsies low, And sprinkle incense on the grass; the rills, In muffled measures, croon a cradle song; Rocked by the winds, the weary saplings nod; Tu the leafy tents the beetles trudge along; Day-burdened birds fly just above the sod, Seeking their nests; the drowsy wild beasts yawn; From downy clouds the stars spring into sight; liarth seems with Heaven to meet out on the lawn: And Rest comes tripping to the notes of Night. Sunset and quiet; and the call of home! And as the echo sounds throughout the glen An age-worn heart looks upward from the loam, And still, undaunted, dares to dream again! PRESSING DAD PRETTY CLOSE. Youth's Last Question Certainly Might Have Keen Called Poin ted and Personal. A most promising youth recent ly sought information from Ids father touching family affairs : "Dad," said he, "do you like mother?" "W.iy, what a question ! Of course I do !" "And she likes you?" "I am certain she does." "Did she ever say so?" "Thousands of limes, my son." "Did she marry you because she loved you?" Whereupon dad became angry, and said : "See here, young man, you're getting entirely too personal. Kut I don't mind telling you that slie did." The boy scrutinized his parent closely, and after a pause added : "Tell me this, dad; Was ma as near-sighted then as she is now?" THE CATCH. A New Fngland spinier was very much enamored of a neighboring farmer, but the affection was not returned. One day, starting on one of his weekly visits jo town, the maiden came rushing out, cry ing: "Yoo-hoo, Mr. Simpkins, do you mind taking me with you?" The farmer considered wanly and finally allowed her to climb in. In vain theladv tried every topic of conversation without eliciting response and finally in desperation fell hack on ihe passing bits of scenery. Going by the minister's house, she cried: "Oh, Mr. Simp kins, what a beautiful hitching post Pastor Watkins has." "Gol durn," cried the other, cracking his whip. "1 knowed there was a hitch in it somewhere. Dobbin. Biddan. Ma'm, that's fer hosses only." l-'OR THE WORLD'S TITLE. Patrons of a Boston restaurant noticed lacked on the wall a sheet of paper on w Inch was printed in bold characters: "The umbrella in the stand be low belongs to the champion heavy- u.-1'iobi Kublrr of the world. He is coming right back." Five minutes later umbrella and naner had disappeared. I" dieir place was another notice: "I I ni tiii 1 1 1 is now in possession of the champion Marathon runner of the world. He is not coming back."

The car had broken down, and the pair of legs protruding front beneath seemed to indicate repairs were being made. "Had a bust up?" inquired a passerby. "Oh, no; only playing hide and seek with the works!'' came in muffed tones from the voice be longing to the legs. But the questioner was not easi ly daunted. "What power car is it?" "Forty-horse." "What's wrong with it, any way?" "Well, as far as I can see," an swered the car's owner, "thirty nine of the horses haye bolted. and tho remaining one it too upset to answer questions." TO MAKE IT EVEN. In a front line trench, not manv yards from the German lines, a dusky doughboy with a mighty grievance and two African field pieces was just starting to reach a distant point in the shortest length of time when hauled back by his sergeant. "You aims to suicide, bov?" in quired the latter. "Whan you all gwine wid dem shavin' regalia?" Leave me be, sergeant," re torted the doughboy. "All's gwine back to find dat big Gummun what hit me in de haid wid a iron potato, and Ah's gwine to cut him down to mah sie den bus' him in de motif dat's all." THE WACiES OF SIN.

"Yas, pahson, admitted one par ishioner sadly, an' b'lieve me, Ah's payin' fo' mah sins. MISTAKEN IDENTITY. Mister, w hined the beggar, w ill you give a poor nun something for a drink?
