In the mountains of Fyrut, wbere I spend my summer vacation every year, stands an old rum, known to everybody as "the castle," and 'hough ifc has no roof to speak of, a? d every wall full of cracks, it is ioh&b ted bv old Mother Kobes and her soa. A | striking figure is this old womaD, with a face which would delithc any artist: the lips are oDiy two fcbiD, bluish strips, UDable to conceal her two lonely teeth, and her shia looks j like a ploughed field; but her g?eat steel grey eyes are as clear as those of a baby, but iu spite of her 102 years she is able to read without glasses, and her bick is still straight, and she scorns the use of a cane. She performs her daily work in house aDd field, as she has doDe for more than eighty jears, never for a minute considering that she is no longer as strong as when she wa3 a girl of twenty. Beside her son is working. The "boy," as 6be calls him, can hardly lay claim to that name any longer, as he is more than seventy years old. But to her he is always the young boj: She cooks for him, mends bis clothes and makes bis bed tvery day, though she must admit that she is no longer able to catoh as many fleas, which infest the "castle " She keeps him on the straight and narrow path, as far as possible, and often trots a ' * ' ^ . . * jl long distance to toe waysiae inn to draw him away from bad companions. But hers bad been a bard task. No amount of care bas been able to prevent him from becoming a con* firmed drunkard, and anyone wbo sees bis bloated face, with the dull, expressionless eyes and bluish red nose, can for a minute doubt that be loves the bottle much more than be loves work. During tbe last fifty year the poor mother bas probably half carried, half led bim borne from the inn more than two thousand times, and every time be has promised that be will leave liquor alone. People laugh at her, but she still believes in bis good intentions when be swears that be will never touch a drop, and ib firm in tbe belief that ber seventy-year-old boy will eome time become a man wbo will be able to earn bis own living. In the evening, when tbe clock bas struck nine on the village steeple and her son bas not yet returned, tbe old woman jumps out of ber bed, puts ! on ber old coat and starts out toj wards tbe inn. Many a night I have been sitting . there, watching her as she came by, | her eld eyes looking for her wayward boy all over the room, which is filled with the smoke of cheap tobacco and reeking with the stench of bad liquor. And when she has caught sight of him her thin lips grow still thinner, an expression of determination settles on her old, wrinkled face, ^nd slowly she walks over towards the table at which he is sitting. When she has come within two paces of him she stops, nods her head and commences staring at him for minutes without saying a word. The "Boy" at first tries to make believe that he does not see, but when he sees that this has no effect he commences to fumble through all his pockets for the change witn which to pay for his drinks. The eyes of his old mother, piercing, as it were, his every soul, seem to cause him physical pain. "Yes, yes mother, I am coming. I was just getting ready to go when you came io. I only wish you would itop scoldiDg me when there are so many people around." And all the time the woman has never said a word. But she never removes her eyes from him, and this is more than her son can stand. In a few seconds he haa found the n A # -VI money, ana gets up irom me laDie. The moment he stands up the old woman pounces upon him like a chicken hawk, catches him by the nape of the neck, and commences pushing him towards the door. "Don't pinch me so, mother. I am ready to go as soon as I can find my hat." "You miserable, good-for-nothing, your hat is on your head," and with this she gives him a push in the back that makes him tumble out of the door. Outside I hear her talking to him I in her quiet, motherly manner. | "My Doy, you make me spend many ! nights on the dusty roads when I I ought to be sound asleep, but I do j not complain of that. But if you do I not stop drinking while you are still j young you'll never be able to stop it I later when you grow old as I am, | and you will end in the poor house." ; "But, mother, I am really improvi ing all the time, and if you will only i give me a little time I shall soon | slop it altogether, but it can't all ! come at once." j Her faithful grey eyes cheer up at | bis words. "My boy, will you proml ise me to start a new life from toj morrow ?" | "Yes, mother," the son replies in a voice wmcn ne is narajy aoie 10 con- i ! trol any longer. "I promise you j | that I will never touch the stuff | again and I shall never put my feet j in the inn any more.'1 He has made this promise every i night for almost, fifty years, eve-y night he has cursed ibe liquor which tie C'iDOofc leave aloDe and he i* known to everybody as a coofiraed drunkard, but when he promises once more the same b*ppy light shines in his mother's eyes. Once more ebe hopes that the bey as he grows older Bball get more firmness of character, and at last turn out a useful member of society. For is it not true what the boy just said, ' Ooe must give him timr; it cannot all cotue at once,'' and ebeer; ed up by this thought she trots I along quite happily alongside her boy and when the old vagabor d i comes near falling hie mother holds ber arms around fcim and holds him i up aDd Dever lets go until sbe sees him safely home Sbe can never forget that be is her only son and ber only bope.

Nervous exhaustion invite3 disease. This statement is the positive truth. When everything" becomes a burden and you cannot walk a few blocks without excessive fatigue, and you break out into perspiration easily, and your face flushes, and you grow excited and shaky at the least provocation, and you cannot bear to be crossed in anything, you are in danger; your nerves have given out; you need building up at once ! To build up woman's nervous system and during the period of change of life we know of no better medicine than Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound. Here is an illustration. Mrs. Mary L. Koehne, 371 Garfield Avenue, Chicago, 111., writes: " I have used LydiaE. Pinkham's Vegetable i uompouuu lur veaxs iu mv i.u,iuuy tuiu jli< never disappoints : so when I felt that I was nearing'tbe "diange of life I commenced treatment with it. I took in all about six bottles and it did me a great deal of good. It stopped my dizey spells, pains in my back ana the headaches with which I had suffered for months before taking the Compound. I feel that if it had not been for this great medicine for women that I should not nave l>een alive to-day. It is splendid for women, old or young, and will surely cure all female disorders.'' Mrs. Pinkham, of Lynn, Mass., invites all sick and ailing women to write her for advice. Her great experience is at their service, free of cost.
