Letter from Tesas.
Oa this cloudy day, it makes m?feei
like I want to do or say something
to cheer and make others ra re
happy. We, as in the reign of Caesar
Augustus, when Corist was born,
have had a lone rest,
j Probably most of the younger
| people have been going to school
J ?nd some are yet going, and for tbic-?use
we ad should strive to m?k
J this year more pr..livable toourselve
j nod others tbao we have done before
Cue mam thing tor the young pen- t
pie to do 18 10 strive for an education
? 1 pract'C*! education; so tb^fc ?bH\
may be better fitted and quipped
to enter lifeV battle, whether it. be jo
bu-iness circles or iu the humble
w*lks of life
I' dov8 seem to me that if Abra
! ham LiucoId, aod other great men
besides, grew to the knowledge and
attitude they did in studying b\
burning the midnight oil under so
many difficulties, we certaiuiy oughi
to do better than we do considering
our opportunities. Of course, we
don't expect to reach the position
that those great men did, for we
could not all possibly get there, but
we can get an education if we trv
and apply ourselves Y >u remember
that Lincoln split rails and did other
laborious labor during the day aod
studied at nigbt. The fault with us
is we never put ourselves to any
trouble to leatn anything; especially
if it is anything that will be as beneficial
as an education. The mos>
we think about is getting wealthy,
or having some sweet girl smile in
us and have a nice time. But if we
rhink of ourselves we would at one*
desist from the latter. Of course
<he girls are all right, but we sbould
know something else We ought to
emulate the great Stonewall J-tcksou
when he was in the battle of Bui)
Bun. He was standing like a stone
wall, when B*e rushed up to him
and exclaimed: ''General, tbey a?e
beating us back!" Uumoved by tte
storm of bursting shells and whist
liDg bullets, he replied: "Sir, wh will
give them the bayoDei " Let us be
as firm and determined as Jackson
W8B aDd we will surely succeed.
Education is woat we most need
and must have; bo let us all press
forward to that end.
You will find as you look back
upon your life that the moments
that stand out?tbe moments when
you have really lived?are the moments
when you have done things in
a spirit of love. However good you
may be, you have faults; however
dull you may be, you can find out
what some of tbem are; and however
slight they may be, you had better
make some effort to get rid of them.
No mau or woman of tbe humblest
walks of life can really be strong,
pure and good without tbe world

somebody being helped aDd comforted
by the very existence of this
goodness. Do everything well?
make that the rule of your life, and
live up to it, and you will find it
most conductive to your own happiness
and to the happiness of those
with whom you are brought into
contact or communication.
The little things which you may
do for those about you will fall back
upon your heart as the summer dew
falls upon the vineyards. What if
it is nothing but a kind word to a
schoolboy crying in the street"? It
dries his tears, and the aching heart
grows light and glad again. Who
knows what a cloud of darkness a
kind word may dispel? Wear a
smile and make others happy. There
is no joy so great as that which
springs from a kind act or a pleasant
deed.
Send your little child to bed happy.
Whatever cares press, give her
a warm good aiffht kiss as she goes
to her pillow. The memory of this
in the Btormy years which may be in I
store for the little one, will be like j
Bethlehem's star to the bewildered j
shepherds. "My father, my mother,
I love me." Nothing can take away
that blessed heart balm. Lips parch- i
ed with the world's fever will be- !
come dewy again at the thrill of !
youthful memories.
You find yourself refreshed by the j
presence of cheerful people. Why !
not make earnest efforts to couple j
that pleasure to others? You will j
i find half the battle gained if you j
j never allow yourself to say anything j
1 gloomy.
| The key to success in any departj
ment of life is self denial. Idleness,
i laziness, wastefulness comes from
j lack of it; while industry, promptitude,
economy, thrift and a success- j
i ful career are the result of it. Don't 1
| object that your duties are insignifi- j
j cani; they are to be reckoned of j
j infinite significance, and alone irn- j

Lydia E. PinKham's Veg'e
cially Successful ii
Disease.
Of all the diseases known, with
which women are afflicted, kidney disease
is the most fatal. In fact, unless
early and correct treatment is applied,
the weary patient seldom survives.
Being- fully aware c^f this, Mrs. Pinkham
earl3" in her career, gave exhaust-;
ive study to the subject, and in producing
her great remedy for woman's
ills?Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable
Compound?was careful to see that it
contained the correct combination of
herbs which was sure to control that
fatal disease, woman's kidney troubles.
The Vegetable uompouna acts m u?rmony
with the laws that govern the
entire female system, and while there
are many so called remedies for kidney
troubles, Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable
Compound is the only one especially
prepared for women, and thousands
have been cured of serious kidney
derangements by it. Derangements of
the feminine organs quickly affect the
kidneys, and when a woman has such
symptoms as pain or weight in the
loins, backache, bearing down pains,
urine too frequent scanty or high colored,
producing scalding or burning,
or deposits like brick dust in it; unusual
thirst,, swellingof hands and feet,
swelling under the eyes or sharp pains
in the back running down the inside
of her groin, she may be sure her kidneys
are affected and should lose no
time in combating the disease with
Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound,
the woman's remedy for woman's
ills.
The following letters show how
marvelously successful it is.

For an Impaired Appetite.
Loss of appetite always results from
faulty digestion. All that is needed is
a few doses of Chamberlain's Stomach
and Liver Tablets. They will invigorate
the stomach, strengthen the digestion
and give you an appetite like a
wolf. These Tablets also act as a, gentle
laxative. For sale by The Kaufmann

Mrs. Samuel Frake, of Prospect
Plains, N. J., writes:
Dear Mrs. Pinkham:?
I cannot thank you enough for what Lvdia
E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound has done
forme. When I lirst wrote to you I had suffered
for years with what the doctor called
kidney trouble and congestion of the womb.
My back ached dreadfully all the time, and I
suffered so with that bearing-down feeling I
could hardly walk across the room. I did not
g-1 any better, so decided to stop doctoring
with my physician and take Lyaia E. Pinkham's
Vegetable Compound and I am thankful
to say it h as entirely cured me. I do all
my own work, have no more backache and
all the bad symptoms have disappeared.
I cannot praise your medicine enough, and
would advise all women suffering with kidney
trouble to try it.
Mrs. J. VV. Lang, of 626 Third Avenue,
New York, writes:
Dear Mrs. Pinkham:?
I have l>een a gi-eat sufferer with kidney
tron hlp. Mv hack ached all the time and I
was discouraged. I heard that I-vdia E.
Pinkbam's Vegetable Compound would cure
kidney disease, and I began to take it: and it
has cured me when everything else had failed.
I have recommended it" to lots of people and
they all praise it very highly.
Mrs. Pinkham's Standing Invitation.
Women suffering from kidney
trouble, or any form of female weakness
are invited to promptly communicate
with Mrs Pinkliam, at Lynn,
Mass. Out of the great volume of experience
which she has to draw from,
it is more than likely she has the very
knowledge that will help your case.
Her advice is free and alwaj-s helpful.
