His Savings. ' .
Chicago Newt.
"I'm going to quit saving,"
announced . tho bill : clerk.
"There's nothing in it. I've just
about made up ray mind to squan
der iny $15 per week on fine rai
ment and riotous living.,"
"I dislike to hear a naturally
thrifty man like you talk in that
way," said the cashier, gravely,
" You want to bear in mind that
the sun of prosperity does not
ever shine and that youth passes
away. Lay up a decent provi
sion for your old age and a rainy
day, at .least."
"What's the use ?" questioned
the bill clerk. ' 'Where will I lay
it up ? It's no cinch that the mau
behind the magazine gun won't
stick me up on the street corner
before I get home with it, and if
I put it in the bank I may get de
prived of it with equal abruptness.-'
"Go west to Lonesomehurst,
buy acre property, and grow up
with tho suburb," suggested the
cashier.
"I think I see myself," said
tho bill clerk. '-Where would J
be when they began to pave the
boulevard and put in a sewer
system ? Not lor little Willie.
I'd sooner go east and try to as
tonish Wall street."
"Have you any Ike insurance 'i
asked the cashier.
"That's a worse gamble yjt."
said the bill clerk. "Insurance
is a gamble from start to finish.
You talk about graft in the man
agement of insuranco companies
as if it was something surprising
If you don't most everybody else
does. What is there surprising
about it ? Did you ever know
the house to be satisfied with a
fair percentage of its rake off ?
They say they play a fair game
at Monte Carlo and don't grab
more than 70 or 80 per cent, of
the money that's played, but
they've got to show me."
"How do you make cut insur
ance is a gambled" askbd the
cashier.
"That's easy," replLd the bill
clerk. The ring gives you odds
of $1, 000 to $15 that you won't
croak after they've got a doctor
to give 'em a tip that makes it
? radically a lead-pipe cinch,
bu've got to die to wake a win.
If you're lucky you may catch a
case of Lake Michigan typhoid
and be the center of attraction
and recipient within forty-eight
hours after you've paid your pre
mium, but usually you am t
lucky. You boil your water and
go on paying your bet every six
months until you're eighty or
ninety years old, and all your
friends and relatives have pass
ed on before you. Ain't that
right V"
"You know I never argue with
you," said the cashier.
"There's no telling about gov
ernment bonds," pursued the
bill clerk. "I've heard people
say that our government isn't
going to last twenty years at the
rate we, re going to the dogs.
The trusts won't do a thing but
repudiate."
"Have you got much saved
now ?" inquired the cashier.
"Quite a bunch," replied the
bill clerk "but banks are too
shaky. I'm going down tomor
row to draw out the whole $8 50
and buy me an outing suit."

THE IDEAL WIFE
Shapes the Destiny of Men The I nfluence of a
Healthy Woman Cannot Be Overestimated.
Seven-eiphths ; of the ' ..-- aMfjtflJM
men in this world marry
a woman because she is
beautiful iu their eyes
because she has the quali
ties which inspire admira
tion, respect and love.
There is a beauty in
health which is more at
tractive to men than mere
regularity of feature.
The influence of women
glorious in the possession
of perfect physical health
upon men and upon the
civilization of the world
could never be measured,
liecause of them men have
attained the very heights
of ambition ; because of
them even thrones have
been established and de
Btroyed.
What a disappointment,
then, to see the fair young
wife's beauty fading away
before a year passes over
her head! A sickly, half-dead-and-alivo
woman,
especially when she is
the mother of a family,
is a damper to all joyous
ness in the home, and a
drag upon her husband.
The cost of a wife's con
stant illness is a seriotis
drain upon the funds of a
household, and too often all the doc
toring does no good.
If a woman finds her energies are
flagging, and that everything tires her,
dark shadows appear under her eyes,
ber sleep is disturbed by horrible
dreams ; if sho has backache, head
aches, bearing-down pains, nervous
ness, whites, irregularities, or despon
dency, she should take means to build
her system up at once by a tonic with
specific powers, such as Lydia E. I'ink
hain's Vegetable Compound.
This great remedy for women has
done more in the way of restoring
health to the women of America than
all other medicines put together. It is
the safeguard of woman's health.
Following we publish, by request, a
letter from a young wife.
' Mrs. Bessie Ainsley of 611 South 10th
Street, Tacoma, Wash., writes:
Dear Mrs. rinkham:
" Ever since my child was bom I have suf
fered, aa I hope few women ever have, with
inflammation, female weakness, bearing-down
pains, backache and wretched headaches. It
affected my stomach so that I could not en
joy my meals, and half my time T?as spent
m lied.
Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound Succeeds Where Others Fail.
-iminr""
"Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable fomiound
made me a well woman, and I feel so tfrate
ful that I am glad to write and tell vou of
my marvelous recovery. It brought me
health, uew life and vitality."
What Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable
Compound did for Mrs. Ainsley it will
do for every woman who is in poor
health and ailing.
Its benefits begin when it s use begins.
It gives strength and vigor from the
start, and surely makes sick women
well and robust.
Remember Lydia E. rinkham's Vege
table Compound holds the record for
the greatest number of actual cures of
woman's ills. This fact is attested to
by the thousands of letters from grate
ful women which are on tile in the
l'inkham laboratory. Merit alone can
produce such results.
Women should remember that a cure
for all female diseases actually exists,
and that cure is Lydia E. l'inkham's
Vegetable Compound. Take no substi
tute. If you have symptoms you don't
understand write to Mrs. l'inkham,
Lynn, Mass., for special advice it is
free and alwavs helpful.
