TAUGHT HIM NEEDED LESSON
Value of Peraeverance Impreeaed on
Bpanlah Boy In Manner That
Made Right Impreealon.
There in a medieval legend of a
Spanish boy who wan dull at school
and who wan no much discouraged
by tho severity of his teachers that
he ran away from home. After he
bad wandered a long way lie wan
tired and sat down to rent on the
margin of a well. An he sat there
bin eya fell upon the stone w f ell curb
and he began to wonder how it hap
pened that there was a deep groove
across the stone. Ife asked an ex
planation of a girl who came to
draw wotcr, and was amazed to learn
that the groove had not been rut in
the stone by men, but had been worn
there by the constant rubbing of the
rope which held the water bucket.
The little circumstance sank deep
into his mind. He argued that if
a soft rope by daily use could force
its way through a hard stone, then
there was nothing that could not be
accomplished by perseverance, and
he learned bis first lesson in the
meaning and value of mental disci
pline. He returned to his father’s
house and to the school from which
ho had fled, and proved the same
truth in his owm case, for he riot
only passed through the school with
credit, but became a great teacher
and preacher.
Some of us are quicker than oth
ers, but not always is mere quidtnesa
a sign of superiority. Slow, plodding
■perseverance will often outdo quick
ness that is easily disco ranged.

TAKING CARE OF THERMOMETER.
A philanthropic doctor in a min
ing town gave new thermometers to
a number of families, with the ur
gent advice to keep their houses at
n proper temperature. When ho waa
making his rounds oue day he saw
one of the thermometers hanging up.
Ho asked the woman of the house if
she remembered his instructions.
“Indeed, sir, 1 do!” was the response.
“I hang the thing up there, and I
watch it carefully to see it does not
got too high." “Good!” exclaimed
tho doctor. “And what do you do
when the temperature rises abovo
70 degrees ?” “Why, sir,” answered
the woman, with the air of one faith
ful to a trust, “when it gets too high
I take it down and put it outside
until it cools!”
THOSE USELESS QUESTIONS
“What are the passengers looking
out of the window for?” asked a
nervous lady passenger on the train
ns the conductor came through.
“We ran over a cat, madam,” said
the conductor.
“Was Uie cat on the track?” she
next asked.
“Oh, no, ma’am,” assured the con
ductor. “Tire locomotive chased her
up an alley.”
VERY MUCH SO.
“I wonder if there will be an ice
famine this season?"
“Now wouldn't that be a queer
business to be a freeze-out ?”
A COMMON TROUBLE.
“On what grounds did he base his
domestic discontent ?”
“I think some of them were the
coffee grounds."
FISHY.
“What is that fish story he is teD
ing about ?'
“'From what I heard, it is about
th 9< Barit”
PARADOXICAL PREDICAMENT.
“This report says that Huerta is
losing ground.”
“That’s odd when he seems to be
completely at sea.”
WON HIS WAY WITH FISTS
Australian ‘‘Fighting Parson” Correct
ly Gauged Men to Whom He
Desired to Minister.
The novel spectacle of preceding
church service with boxing bouts
was witnessed recently in Australia.
The pugilistic parson was the llev.
11. Linton of St. James, Wilcunnia,
S. S. W., and a correspondent gives
the following account of the en
counter :
‘•Mr. Linton struck a (shearing)
shed in full swing, and being anx
ious to get into close touch with the
men made inquiries as to the pros
pects of holding a service. An old
hand who was consulted gave it ns
his opinion, if he made the attempt
he would probably meet with a
mixed reception. However, nothing
daunted, he soon made his plan of
campaign, and lost no time in put
ting it into execution.
“He put in an appearance at the
mess one evening, and after a few
fraternal remarks introduced a set
of boxing gloves. This was a bold
frontal attack, and risky. The shed
champion was thunderstruck. He
from the start of shearing freely had
offered to fight run or jump with
any man in the crowd, with no re
sult, and here was a simple parson
storming Ins stronghold. Prelimi
naries were soon settled and a willing
go was entered upon, which soon
left the one-time champion deeply
thinking.
“After several other bouts the first
part of the entertainment closed
and the more serious one was entered
upon—a religious service. All hands,
full of admiration for the parson,
rolled up and a hearty exercise was
the result, the first ever held there.
We would not be surprised if he were
elected chaplain to the West Dar
ling shearers.”

TREE BEARS HANDS.
A curious tree is growing in Los
Angeles, Cal., the seed of which was
brought from Mexico. In gene nil ap
pearance it resembles an English
walnut. The leaves are much like
those of a buttonwood, but very
much larger. The most marked pe
culiarity of the tree is its blossoms,
from which it has been named the
“hand tree.” The flower is an inch
and a half in diameter, with short
russet sepals and long reddish-lined
petals. The fat scarlet pistils pro
truded an inch beyond. They are so
joined to resemble a hand, with fin
gernails like the claws of a Chinese
grandee. The resemblance to a hand
is striking.

It Always Helps
says Mrs. Sylvania Woods, of Clifton Mills, Ky., in
writing of her experience with Cardui, the woman’s
tonic. She says further: “Before 1 began to use
Cardui, my back and head would hurt so bad, 1
thought the pain would kill me. 1 was hardly able
to do any of my housework. After faking three bottles
of Cardui, I began to feel like anew woman. I soon
gained 35 pounds, and now, I do all my housework,
as well as run a big water mill.
1 wish every suffering woman would give
CARDUI
The Woman’s Tonic
a trial. I still use Cardui when I feel a little bad,
and it always does me good.”
Headache, backache, side ache, nervousness,
tired, worn-out feelings, etc., are sure signs of woman
ly trouble. Signs that you need Cardui, the woman’s
tonic. You cannot make a mistake in trying Cardui
for your trouble. It has been helping weak, ailing
