Dread of such treatment ® ) kept thousands of modest women silent about their • suffering. Thein- troduction of ? Wine of Cardui has now demon strated that nine-tenths of all the cases of menstrual disorders do not require a physician's attention at all. The simple, pure Wine®ni taken in the privacy of a woman’s own home insures quick relief and speedy cure. Women need not hesitate now. Wine of Cardui re- * quires no humiliating examina tions for its adoption. It cures any disease that comes under the head of “female troubles” —disordered menses, falling of the womb, “whites,” change of life. It makes women beautiful by making them well. It keeps them young by keeping them healthy. SI.OO at the drug store.

But here is the true In 185? I was traveling in the with Jere Mabie’s big show. I i loing a tumbling and acrobatic ’ jn the ring and bad not yet be j l .to aspire to the cap and bells. One afternoon, just before the doors Vqere opened, Mabie came to me in great distress and told me that the ‘jumped the show.’ Acir efis without a clown would be a se rious affair anywhere, but in Texas i M those days it meant destruction to i ©ur property and possibly bodily hArm to ourselves. You see, those Texans didn’t have much else to do, and so they found time to study the trills carefully. They insisted upon getting their full money’s worth and wanted everything promised on the bills. Some of our best printing couldn't be put up in Texas at all, because, you know, there are things on circus posters which are beyond * the possibility of fulfillment. We showmen look upon those pictures ■ With the artist’s eye, and we got to I feeling sorry to think what the Tex- Bre missing. 11, to come to the point, I went e ring as clown and made a kept it up for a couple of doing my other act as well, for one salary. 5 morning J went to the man id told him that I would have e some extra sequins if he I me to play clown any more, iswered that I was getting a and if I wasn’t satisfied I t. ara quit. He thought he had me fdr Texas was not the kind of country a man would enjoy being ijKt in. But I was a youngster then Jl € didn’t mind taking chances. Be- K $B,l had saved about s4o,and I felt 1 I show right off, » a couple of mules and an old wagon and had just enough gKartaric acid and one lemon. Talk ut good friends I Why, that one Sion etuck to me to the end. I fol- Kred the circus with my wagon and l»ir, and every time the tents were pitched I would mount a box and sing out: "Here’s yonr ice cold lemonade, Made in the shade By an old maid I Stick your finger in tho glass. It'll freeze tight fast. The deeper you dip The sweeter it grows. Just like honey from a roso. So good, bo sweet, so sour. It'll give you joy for half an hour! "The lemonade sold splendidly, and I couldn’t wait on the negroes fast enough. jDne day, while I was mob scrambling for the liquid refreshment, I noticed suddenly that my water supply had about run out. There were no wells or springs in sight, so I rushed into the big tent to get some water. The elephants had just been fed and watered, and all the tanks were empty. In the excitement of the mo ment I invaded the dressing tents. Fannie Jamieson, the old time queen of bareback equestrianism, was standing in front of a tub, wringing qut a pair of pink tights that she Wad been washing. The aniline dye ■ I id stained the water a deep pink. I 8 < 3n’t stop to ask any questions, but I fbbed the tub and ran. As I tinted the box I threw in some L, i and the property lemon and Ifo led out to the customers to come V quickly and buy some fine ‘ straw & rry lemonade.’ My sales were Rubied that day, and since then no ! well regulated circus is without pink femonade. IB “It’s not easy to get the better of ' | vmen, ” continued the old clown. » Zhey’re pretty well up to the tricks M? the average community and have p lew of their own. I was with the 11 .'st steamboat show that ever sailed flown the Mississippi, and it was al post swamped by the big licenses Demanded whenever we landed. Fi lially at Memphis the thing culmi nated. The merchants were up in arms againsc the show because they feaidwewould take too much money away from the city. We were noti fied that no license would be issued and that we would not be allowed to give our show at the wharf. So we steamed out into the middle of the river, started our calliope a-piping and had our little tug ply back and forth between the shore and the steamboat. The idea of a circus on board of a steamboat hit the Mem phis people hard. That night we were crowded to the guards, and we played three ‘midstream return dates’ in the neighborhood within a week.”—New York Commercial. Why Maud Blushed.

A doc tor in Texas told me—confound his pic ture—that I had valvular heart disease, and if I wanted to stay on earth I must avoid everv species of excitement. I did my best to follow his advice, but that miserable specter was at my elbow day and night and embittered my whole existence. I don’t believe lam a cow ard, but the thought preyed on me un til I began to fear for my sanity. “At last, after all these years of in finite precaution, I went, to a first class specialist to find out how much longer I’d last and was assured that I hadn’t one single symptom of the malady. Talk about removing a mountain from a man I That assurance knocked off an en tire range. It changed the color of the universe in a twinkling, and I was so happy I wanted to just throw up my hat and yell. “That was a couple of years ago, and I have enjoyed myself tiptop ever since up to one day last week, when I hap pened to be chatting with the specialist and remarked that I’d like to murder that sawbones in Texas. ‘I don’t blame you, ’he said. ‘That man had no right to tell you that you had heart disease If I had found you right at death’s door, I certainly would never have let you know it.’ Now, by Jove, I don’t know who or what to believe and am drifting I back to the old state of uncertainty. I wish I lived in a cannibal island and had never heard of doctors.”—New Or leans Times-Democrat. Milk and Mathematics. When Thomas drove up to deliver the usual quart of white mixture, the gentleman of the house kindly inquired, “Thomas, how many quarts of milk do you deliver daily to your customers?’’ “Ninety-one, sir.” “And how many cows have you?” “Nine, sir.” The gentleman made some remarks about an early winter and the state of the roads, and then asked, “Thomas, how much milk per day do your cows average?” “Seven quarts, sir.” “Ah, um!” said the gentleman, as he moved off. Thomas looked after him, scratched his head, and all at once grew pale as he pulled out a short pencil and began to figure on the wagon cover: “Nine cows is nine, and I set down seven quarts under the cows and multiply. That’s 63 quarts of milk. I told him I sold 91 quarts per day. Sixty-three from 91 leaves 28 and none to carry. Now, where do I get the rest of the milk? I’ll be hanged if I haven’t given myself away to one of my best custom ers by leaving a big cavity in these fig ures to be filled with water!”—London Sketch. Italy In London. Many Londoners have visited the Italian district, which lies in the neigh borhood of Theobald’s road and Hatton Garden, and some with inquiring minds have strolled up Leather lane and watched the Italian ice cream venders and fortune telling women with pretty love birds, intermingled with the dirty, noisy, street hawkers, common to all London slums. It is amazing to learn how these Italians crowd together in the poky little houses of the courts and alleys. Generally a house is hired by an old padrone, who sublets to as many of his countrymen as he can respectably squeeze in. The cellars are utilized as sleeping apartments, and in the morn ing as many as 20, even 30, men will emerge from the bowels of the earth, blinking and winking in the daylight after a night spent in the cellars under one small dwelling house. A whole family, consisting of a husband and wife and eight or nine fanciulli of vari ous ages, often sleep in one small gar ret or cellar. —Ludgate Magazine. A Crusher. Legge, bishop of Oxford, who bad not youth as bis excuse for his vanity, asked his friend Canning to come and hear his first episcopal sermon. They dined together afterward, and from the ! politician’s silence the other ought to have known better than to push him, but being rather nettled he exclaimed, “Canning, you have said nothing to me about my sermon.” “Well, it was short.” “Oh,” said the bishop, “it is better to be short than tedious.” “But,” replied Canning, “you were that too. ” Athletic Missionaries. Two English home missionary work ers were recently introduced by the Rev. A. J. Robinson to a Birmingham audience in these words: “Yon Birmingham chaps have a lot of athletics, and quite right too.

He could jump as high as his head.” —Liv- erpool Mercury.

The California Woodpecker Pack* Its Food Away Safely. Fred A. Ober, who has been a great traveler, recounts some of the strange scenes he has witnessed for St. Nicholas. He contributes a pa per entitled “A Bird’s Storehouse; or, The Carpenter Bird.” Mr. Ober Bays: He is a handsome bird, and if there were not so many of his species he would attract a great deal of atten tion. He has a bright red head, black and white body and a needle pointed tail. The tail supports him in a perpendicular 'position on the side of a tree while he is hammer ing, or rather chiseling, a hole in its bark. Now, all woodpeckers, having sharp pointed beaks and very strong muscles in their necks and heads, can drive a deep hole into the side of a tree or stump, but this Califor nia woodpecker is said to surpass them all as a hole digger, and he not only digs the hole, but he fills it up with a nut or an acorn. This is the strangest part of his performance, for, while a great many other birds have the hole dig ging instinct, there are very few of them that possess the hole filling in stinct. The blue jays and the squir rels have a habit of accumulating supplies in the shape of nuts and acorns, and you may see them al most any day in autumn snatching the acorns from twigs and branches. The same instinct prompts this woodpecker to lay in his stores of acorns. Some people say, however, that he never resorts to these sup plies again, but just lays them up without a thought as to the future at all. But this is not the way with nature. She does not work blindly, but always with some wise purpose in view. At any rate, this bird can drill a hole in the very hardest wood, and at this business he is employed al most all the time. The holes are usually made in rows, at regular dis tances apart, each about the size of an acorn. He is never discouraged' and never gives up a task, even though it may seem most formid able. He has been known to sur round a giant redwood tree, over 20 feet in circumference, with rings of holes, one above another, from the root to the topmost limb, for over 200 feet. I say “he” did it, but I mean, of course, generation after generation of them, for many, many years. After he has got the hole or holes to his liking he flies off to the near est oak tree and secures an acorn, which he brings to the storehouse tree and places in the little “safety deposit” he has made for it. It fits exactly, and so, inserting it sharp end first, he hits it repeatedly with his beak and drives it in to stay till needed. So long as the woodpecker con fines his harvesting to the acorns no one except the Indians, who fre quently store them up for winter food, will have anything to say, but this he does not do. It is said that he likes nuts as well, and a story is told of a family of woodpeckers that completely stripped a small grove of almond trees. The owner of the grove thought he must have a good crop, and when the time came to gather it he went to do so, and, 10, there was not a nut on any tree! But one of his boys, in foraging about, found an immense old oak which was partly decayed and rid dled with holes from top to bottom, and in each hole was an almond! So the tree was cut down, and the man secured several bushels of almonds after all; but the woodpeckers scold ed him loudly.

Green was as quiet a neighbor as you could wish to have, and so was Gray, for that matter, but he had a barking dog that was the torment of Brown’s life. One day in his desperation be told Gray that if be would get rid of the dog he would give him $5. “All right,’’said Gray. “I’ll do it.” Meeting Gray down town that after noon Brown asked, “Have you done what you agreed to do and got rid of that dog?” Gray—Yes, I’ve got rid of him. Brown—Thank goodness! Now I shall sleep nights. By the way, what did you do with him? Gray—l sold him to Green. He gave me $3 for him. Not so bad, eh?—Bos ton Transcript. He Never Complained. “I never complained,” once said Sa’di, the poet, “of my condition but on a single occasion, when my feet were bare and I had not money to buy shoes, but I saw a man without feet and became instantly contented with my lot. ” Being asked from whom he learned his philosophy, Sa’di replied, “From the blind, because they never advance a step until they have tried the ground.” “They asked me," Sa’di writes in the Gulistan, “ ‘Of whom didst thou learn manners?’ I replied: ‘From the unmannerly. Whatever I saw them do which I disapproved of, that I abstain ed from doing. ’ ” Constipation of the bowels may be eas ily cured by a few doses of Dr. M. A. Simmons Liver Medicine. How Old Mrs. Smith Waa. In the family of a friend is em ployed an old colored servant whose blunders, though numerous, cause more amusement than vexation. An elderly lady, a neighbor, was sick, and they sent the servant over, in structing her to find out how old : Mrs. Smith was and could they be of service, etc. In due season she reported back, saying, “Mrs. Smith says she will be 60 next birthday j and don’t need nothing.”—New Or leans Times-Democrat. NUMBER 9. PROVERBIAL PHILOSOPHY.. Aa Exemplified In the General Customs at a West Virginia Hotel. “ ‘A burned child dreads the fire,’ ‘A soused child dreads water,’ ‘Once burned, twice shy’—these are three proverbial ways of saying that one finger is enough to lose in learning that a buzzsaw may be moving though it seems to be standing still. There are more ways than there are proverbs of exemplifying the inher ent truth of these proverbs, and each way is interesting, if not immediate ly, yet in the long run—and the run is not necessarily so long. “Down at H——, W. Va.,” said the man who knew about proverbs, “there is a hotel. This is not strange to you, but probably you haven’t been in H . I have been there. Byway of digression, let me remark that in all these small country towns of Virginia and its coparcener states it is astonishing how easy it is to arrive and how hard it is to depart. At whatever hour you may have ar rived, you are certain to take the train after midnight and before 6 o’clock. This arrangement effectual ly spoils the night for sleeping pur poses or for amusement; but, then, there is no amusement. “To resume, I reached H—— at some seasonable hour and put up at the hotel, did what I had to do and, as I had been up most of the preced ing night, turned in about 9 o’clock, leaving word at the office to be call ed at 1 o’clock, as the train left shortly before 2 o’clock. “In time I was called, so I dressed quickly, paid my bill, seized my bag and hurried to the ‘depot,’ about a block away. Half along the block I happened to look at the hotel and saw that every lamp in it was out and the house was as dark as pitch. “At the station I found a police man, who seemed pleased to see me. “ ‘How soon is the train duet’ I asked byway of opening a short conversation. “ ‘ ’Bout a houi - and a half,’ said he pleasantly. “ ‘What!’ I yelled. Then I looked at my watch. It was just 12:30. “The policeman watched with ju dicial amusement while I made cer tain remarks about the hotel people. , When I ended—l took my time—he said: ' “ ‘Well, now, things strike people ■ differently, don’t they? ’Bout a ’ month ago there was a feller down to the hotel—had two bags, a regular drummer.
