Miss Maria Ducharme, 182 St. Eliza- beth street, Montreal, Can., writes: “I am satisfied that thousands of women suffer because they do not real- ize how bad they really need treat- ment and feel a natural delicacy in consulting a physician. “I felt badly for years, had terrible pains, and at times was unable to at- tend to my daily duties. I tried to cure myself, but finally my attention was valled to an advertisement of Peruna in @ similar case to mine, and I decided to give it a trial. «(My improvement began as soon as i started to use Peruna and soon I was @ well woman. I feel that I owe my itfe and my health to your wonderful medicine and gratefully acknowledge this fact."’—Maria Ducharme.

Bride Was Thinking of Anything But . Mourning Garments. The pretty bride met so many ladies at the reception given by her hus- band’s cousin to introduce her that it was impossible to Keep up with them, and so when the hall boy telephoned up to know whether she was at home to Mrs. James or Miss Richards she always said she was, and took it for granted they were family friends. A Mrs. Martin was announced in this way, and little Mrs. Anderson re- ceived the stranger with a cordial gayety and began to chat to her of teas and matinees. Mrs. Martin was a dismal person in rusty black and did not seem to respond to merriment. The bride racked her brain for conver- sation and the guest eyed her with growing disfavor. Finally the out- burst came when Mrs. Anderson said: “IT met you at Mrs. Towne’s recep- tion, of course, didn’t I? I find it so hard to connect names with faces, but I hope—” The visitor rose and broke in: “No, you did not meet me at any re- ception, and I must say I am sur- prised to find you like this, I’ve been in the business off and on for twenty years, and I never saw one take it so light as you do. I answer your note to call and talk over mourning for your husband’s funeral, and you tell me about the theeayter last night.” When the bride had sufficiently re- covered from her shock she took the note the other held out. It was signed Mrs. Sanderson and was written from the apartment just overhead, where there had been a death the day be- before.—New York Press. Bishop Hall Gets a Tip. Bishop A. C. A. Hall of Vermont, whose name has been much in the newspapers recently because of his operation for appendicitis, is fond of telling an experience he had while making a visit to one of his parishes. During his visitation the bishop is generally entertained at the homes of some of the parishioners. On this oc- easion he arrived late at night and rather unexpectedly at the house of a well-to-do villager in Brandon. Like many another country family, this one did not have company often, and the guest room was neither warm nor otherwise prepared for oceupancy, but in due time the bishop was in- formed that his room was ready. In the morning the daughter of the house, a tot of five years, was allowed the privilege of announcing breakfast to the guest, still in his room. After the morning greetings and compliance with the mother’s instructions to in- quire if the bishop slept well, the child exclaimed: “Ma says she wishes that you would let us know next time that you are coming. She says we don’t keep no boarding house.” Preventive of Mosquitos. ‘ A Kentucky congressman tells of a Louisville man rather well-known throughout the state for his convivial qualities, who last summer visited a friend living in a town on the lower Mississippi. He took with him his servant, a faithful old negro of 70 years. The morning after the arrival of the Louisville man, his host, -who had risen a little earlier than usual, en- countered the colored man walking about the grounds. “[ hope your master wasn’t an- noyed by the mosquitos,” observed the head of the place. “I’m sorry to say they’re pretty bad just now.” “Oh, no, sah!” cheerfully responded the servant. “Las’ evenin’ Marse John when he went to bed was so intoxerecated he don’t mind de skeet- ers at all, an’ dis mornin’ de skeeters is so intoxercated dey don’t mind Marse John.”"—Sunday Magazine. Work Without Hope. All nature seems at work. Slugs have their lair— The bees are stirring—dirds are on the wing— And winter slumbering in the open air, Wears on his smiling face a dream of * spring! And I, the while, the sole unbusy thing, Nor Loney, make, nor pair, nor build, nor sing. Yet well I ken the banks where amar- anths blow, Have traced the fount whence streams of nectar flow. awa: With lips unbrightened, wreathless brow, I stroll; And would you learn the spells that drowse my soul? Work without hope draws nectar in a sieve, And hope without an object cannot live. — Coleridge. Looks After College Chums. Another of the class of ’78, Yale, has been taken care of by Secretary Taft. Paul Charleton, who was a member of the graduating class at Old Eli in that year, has been made law officer of the bureau of insular affairs of the war department at a salary of $4,500 a year, to succeed Judge Magoon, who is now a member of the Panama canal commission. “Nobody could be a mem- ber of the class of ’78 at Yale with- out being a better man for his experi- ence,” remarked Secretary Taft as he announced the appointment of Charle- ton. “What was your class at Yale, Mr. Secretary?” someone asked. “Sey- enty-eight,” proudly replied the rotund official. Long and Short of It. It was 2 a. m. when he tried to steal softly up the stairs. But his wife was awake. “When you went out after supper,” she said, reproachfully, “you said you would’nt be gone long.” “Well,” he answered wearily, as he rattled the keys in his pocket, “I came back short, anyway.”—Detroit Tribune.

William Aubrey Thomas of Niles, : of It. Chicago in 1905 is the fourth city Ohio, congressman from the Nine-|in the world in point of population teenth district, says: the greatest Republican center in the United ‘States ,as the city of Niles is located.in thé Mahoning valley, a seo tion of Ohio famous for the fact that a Democrat was never elected to an office there. Niles is a pretty little town of 9,000 inhabitants, known chief- ly for the fact that it was the birth- place of William McKinley, the mar- tyr president. The former location of the old McKinley homestead is now the site of the Dollar Savings Bank, of which I am president, and we recently placed a bronze tablet on the front of the establishment which reads that McKinley first saw the light of day on this spot.”—Milwaukee Sentinel.

Thought She Couldn’t Live. Moravia, N. Y., June 5.—Mr. Benja- min Wilson, a highly respected resident of this place, came very near losing his wife, and now that she is cured and restored to good health his gratitude knows no bounds. He says: “My wife has suffered everything with Sugar Diabetes. She has been sick four years. She doctored with two good doctors but kept growing worse. The doctors said she could not live. She failed from 200 pounds down to 130 pounds. This was her weight when she began to use Dodd’s Kidney Pills, and now she weighs 190, is well and feeling stronger every day. “She used to have rheumatism so bad that it would raise great bumps aul over her body and this is all gone too. . Dodd's Kidney Pills are a God-sena to those who suffer as my wife dia. ‘They are all that saved her. We can't praise them enough.” TRIED IT ON RICHARD. If Pink Image Didn’t Kill Him Harold Would Eat One. Miss Estelle Reel, the general sup- erintendent of the government's In- dian schools, was talking about cruelty, “Cruelty,” she said, “is a lack of imagination. It isn’t true that only savages are cruel. All people without developed minds—capable of sympathy —are cruel. Chiidren, ti]] they bave learned to think, are cruel invariably. Miss Reel smiled. “Let me tell you about a little boy,” she said. “To this little boy there was given two images of plaster coated on the outside with pink sugar. He want. ed to eat the images, but he was warn- ed on no account to do so. “They are poison,’ he was told. ‘If you eat them, it will kill you.’ “However, the little boy was dubi- ous. He had been cheated before by grown up people. Day after day he asked is he might not eat the images. Final'y he bad a young friend, Richard Howe, to spend the ‘day with him, and that night it was discovered that one of the images had disappeared. “His mother, nearly frantic, rushed to him. “‘Harold,’ she said, ‘where is that pink image?” “Harold frowned, as be answered de fiantly: “‘T gave it to Richard Howe, and if he’s alive to-morrow I'm going to eat the other one myself.’”—._ FEED YOU MONEY. Feed Your Brain and It Will Feed You Money and Fame. “Ever since boyhood I have been especially fond .of meats, and I am convinced I ate too rapidly, and failed to masticate my food properiy. “The result was that I found my- self, a few years ago, afflicted with ailments of the stomach and kidneys, which interfered seriously with my business. “At last I took the advice of friends and began to eat Grape-Nuts instead of the heavy meats., etc., that had con- stituted my former diet. “I found that I was at once benefited by the change, that I was soon reifev- ed from the heart-burn and the indt gestion that used to follow my meals, that the pains in my back from my kidney affection had ceased, showing that those organs had been healed, and that my nerves, which used to be un- steady, and my brain, which was slow and lethargic from a keavy diet of “I come from | and wealth, says Leslie’s Weekly. The only towns which lead it are London, New York and Paris. Canton is some. times assigned a larger population. but this is estimated, for there has never been any census taken of its population. Berlin has just crossed the 2,000,000 mark in inhabitants, but it is safe to assume that Chicago is ahead of the German metropolis. It is like ly to keep ahead, notwithstanding the wonderful growth of that capital, un- exampled in Europe’s annals. Nearly all the world’s great cities —Paris, Berlin, St. Petersburg, Vien- na, Madrid and others—are far inland. Even London, the nearest to deep wa- ter of all Europe’s great capitals, is over sixty miles distant from the sea. New York is the only city of com- manding importance in any civilized country which is in sight of the ocean Chicago feels that it will some time have the same preminence im the United States that Berlin has in Ger many or St. Petersburg in Russia. Ii is growing faster than New York, has several suburbs which it expects tc absorb within the next five or ter years and figures that it will pass New York by 1950. Ten or fifteen years prior to that date New York will have passed London, so that if Chicago ever beats the metropolis on the Hudson she will be the greatest of the world’s cities, as she is al- ready the most marvelous of them in her sudden rise and swift expansion. Neighborly. Rey. R. H. Nelson, the new bishop coadjutor of Albany, wished to indi- cate in a recent address the spirit of friendlin and helpfulness that should exist between neighbors. “Too many neighbors,” he said, “are like a physician and a lawyer who used to live next door to each other in his- toric Germantown. The physician, one day, asked if he might borrow from the lawyer his edition of Florio’s ‘Montaigne.’ “You are welcome to read the work in my library,’ the lawyer an- swered, ‘but you can’t take it away with you. I am sorry to say, for I have lost so many books through lend- ipg them that I have sworn never to let another volume leave the house.’ “The physician thanked the lawyer, but of course he did not attempt to get through so ponderous a work as ‘Montaigne’ in the other’s library. A week passed, and the lawyer came and asked the physician to lend him his lawn mower. “J am only too glad to lend you my lawnmower, said the physician, ‘though it is my rule never to let it leave my lawn. There, however, you may use it all you please.’” Cure for Nervous Depression. The late Dr. Cyrus Edson of New York one day received a visitor wha complained of nervous depression. vised the physician. “Go to the the ater and witness the performance of some good comedian.” The patient was much interested and a little surprised. “Who is a good comedian?” he asked. “Francis Wilson.” “T have seen him. He would make me worse.” “Peter Dailey.” “Dailey would induce grave compli: cations. I am sure of it. I know a man who contracted chronic dyspep- sia watching Dailey on the stage.” “You are hard to please,” observed the doctor, thinking intensely. “I have it! See.Nat Goodwin.” The sufferer was disconsolate. “J am Nat Goodwin.”—The Sunday Mag. azine.

Ab guess Ah’ll Iet her go, boss.”’—New York Sun. Choate on Texas Justice. One of Ambassador Choate’s lega) stories told at a gathering of lawyers on his last visit to this country related to a Texas judge before whom a pris. oner was brought charged with horse stealing. The judge promptly sen- teneed the prisoner to be hanged, but his lawyer interrupted. “You can’t hang this prisoner ac. cording to law, your honor,” he said. “Guess you're right,” said the judge. “Well, I'll discharge him and I guess it’s up to the boys to hang him accord- meats and greasy foods, had, not in ajing to the regular custom.’—New moment, but gradually, end none the less surely, been restored to normal efficiency.

There may be discrimination in freight rates which is just, reasonable and impera- tively required by the complex com- mercial and geographical conditions with which expert rate makers have to deal. To abolish such open and honest discrimination might paralyze the industries of cities, states and whole sections of our national terri- tory. This distinction between just and unjust discrimination is clearly recog- nized in the conclusions of the Inter- national Railway Congress, published yesterday: “Tariffs should be based on commer- cial principles, taking into account the special conditions which bear upon the commercial value of the services rén- Gered. With the reservation that rates shall be charged without arbitrary dis- crimination to all shippers alike under Mke conditions, the making of rates should as far as possible have all the elastitity necessary to permit the devel- opment of the traffic and to produce the greatest results to the public and to the ‘railroads themselves.” The present proposal is, as Mr. Walker D. Hines of Louisville showed in bis remarkable testimony the other day before the Senate Committee at Washington, to crystallize fiexible and justly discriminatory rates into fixed government rates which cannot be changed except by the intervention of some government tribunal, and by this very process to increase “the tempta- tion to depart from the published rate and the lawful rate in order to meet some overpowering and urgent com- mercial condition.”—New Vork Sun.
