"I'm glad to bear %" replied Mrs. Bowser. "But I stand ready to assist any , one else." "You'd better not fool away your time." "1 don't propose to. But for the awful temperature around the pole men oould easily overcome the other diffi/ culties. When the thermometer registers 100 degrees below zero the lifeblood of the strongest man congeals. He must either retreat or die." "Well, what of it?" she asked. "What of it?" he repeated with a chuckle. "If you overcome the cold you discover tbe pole, don't you?" "And you have found a way of overcoming the cold, 1 suppose. It is two weeks since you had a fad. and I was wondering what would come next If you are going to visit the north pole with a lot of hot water'bags strapped around your body to keep your temperature at summer beat let's hear about it" "Being as you are a woman and being as every woman is about half idiot. I can overlook your sarcasm. Tour way of encouraging a husband to seek for fame is to belittle every plan he originates. Had Columbus bad a wife "HE MUST EITHER RETREAT OB DIB." . like you this American continent would have continued to be a paradise for woodchucks. Expecting nothing but ridicule and sarcasm in reply, 1 will, x however, ask you a question or two. Suppose that a man going out in a temperature of 20 degrees below zero raises the temperature of his body 30 or 4U degrees r A New Plan. "That would offset the cold." replied Mrs. Bowser. "Your head is not filled with sawdust after all. Yes. it would work that way. and don't you see my plan? To meet the cold of the north pole we simply keep on raising the temperature. It's the simplest thing in the world, and yet nobody seems to bare thought of it Mrs. Bowser, consider the north pole as rediscovered. Consider it discovered by Mr. Bowser!" He stepped back and bowed before her, and the cat came out from under % the lounge and squinted at both and * wondered whether it was a question of \ science or mousetraps. "Yes, but bow are you going to raise the temperature of the body a hundred degrees or more?" queried Mrs. Bowser. * "Just as easy as lifting up your foot Do you see these lozenges? They con* - tain no less than six different red hot 9 ingredients, including cayenne pepper. S Two of them are warranted to make the blood fairly boil and cause the tera? perature around the pole to seem like flh ^August day in America. I shall at " ronce~ consult the government about sending out an expedition. Tne government provides the ship, and Bowser's lozenges do the rest" "But you haven't tried thein yet." "No, but I am glad to do so. 1 wonder if our cook wouldn't eat one and then sit on a snow bank in the back yard and see how it worked?" "Of course she wouldn't!" After a Subject. "Well, there are others. I'll find a j couple of tramps who'll sit out all night for a quarter apiece. I'll run a , pair of them in at once and get the exit periment under way." "You'd?you'd better wait!" she fal? tered as he started for the door. "Why wait?' he asked. "It's a cold J $ night, with snow and tramps at bapd. j H for experiment.

There were snow banks against the fence, and be selected position* and sat them down. It was a keen, cold right, one made to order for aoch an experiment "Now. then." said Mr. Bowser aa alt was ready. "I take it that yoa feel cold?" "W-e d-oP replied the men In chorus through their chattering teeth. "That is splendid. I estimate that there is a difference of at least 40 degrees between your temperature and that of the weather. Yon will now each of you take a lozenge In your mouth and let It slowly dissolye. Ib I two minutes your blood ought to be | the same temperature as the weather. ! In five yon ought to imagine that rob Ins are singing and daisies Dioommg around yon." The Experiment. j As Mr. Bowser wasn't experiment| Ing on himself, he discreetly retired to j I the warm atmosphere of the kitchen and took his stand at a window. He bad scarcely begun his observations when one of the tramps rolled over and began to kick like a horse tangled np in his harness, while the other sprang to bis feet and spat and spluttered and coughed and crammed his mouth full of snow. "What are you fellows up to?" shouted Mr. Bowser, as be rushed out. They gave him no heed. They seemed to he acrobats let loose, and they , went through more antics than as if they had picked up a dozen hot horseshoes. It .."as five minutes before either of them could speak, and then one cooled bis mouth with an icicle hanging to the clothesline and stut tered: "B-b-boss. what s-s-sort of a g-g-game is thisr "Yps. what- sort of a g-g-game?" add I ed the other as a snowball melted in his month. "It's no game at all. Ifs an ex \ periment as I told you. What hare j yon done with those lozenges?" "S-s-spit 'em out, dura ye!" "Yes: s-s-splt 'em out!" j "But you mustn't do it. These are j to raise the temperature of your blood I I until it equals the temperature of the \ [ atmosphere. If you'd kept on sacking j I the lozenges yon'd have been persplr- j Ing by this time Sit down and try It again." Bowser Is Bested. "Bill," said the first as he continued to eat snow and draw In long breaths of the frosty air, "does It look like a cold blooded attempt to burn up the vitals of two respectable gents?" "It do. Sam. it do!" "And by bnrain' op oar vitals take away our appetites?" "That's the gamer "If I was playing any game would I promise you a quarter apiece?" asked j Mr. Bowser. "It's my solemn opinyun that ye would."* "That's onr solemn opinyun!" Mr. Bowser was about to protest and Increase his cash offers when the two gentlemen with burned vitals fell upon him. The three went down together, and Mrs. Bowser, looking from a back window, and the cook and cat looking from a back door, could see nothing for the next two minutes for the cloud of snow in the air. Then the two tramps detached themselves from the circus and climbed the yard fence, and the household went out to look for Mr. Bowser. There were thousands of traces of him at hand, but it took three minutes to discover his actual presence and dig it out from under the snow. He had been thumped and kicked and choked, but life had not departed. He soon rallied and sat up, and after being helped to his feet he made his woozy way to the kitchen and thence upstairs. He did not ask what had happened, and Mrs. Bowser gave him a rest of fifteen minutes on the lounge before she said: "I suppose the government ought to be notified at once, and if you don't feel well I can do It myself." An ugly glare, followed by a gritting of his teeth, and it was ten minutes before she observed: "I've told the cook to heat some witch hazel to wash off the blood. Do you wish for 003* temperature?"

O. i EXPERIENCE OF MOTHERHOOD " * 1 Adnct to Expectant Mothers The experience of Motherhood is a try- 1 ing one to most women and marks distinctly an epoch in their lives. Not one ] woman in a hundred is prepared or un- ] derstands how to properly care for herself. Of course nearly every woman nowadays has medical treatment at such times, but many approach the experience with an organism unfitted for the trial of strength, and when it is over ] her system has received a shock from which it is hard to recover. Following right upon this comes the nervous strain ef caring for the child, and a distinct change in the mother results. There is nothing more charming than a happy and healthy mother of children, and indeed child-birth under the right conditions need be no hazard to health or beauty. The unexplainable thing is that, with all the evidence of shattered nerves and broken health resulting from an unprepared condition, and with ample time in which to prepare, women will persist in going blindly to the trial. Every woman at this time should rely upon Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound, a most valuable tonic and invigorator of the female organism. In m a n y homes once childless there are now children be- Wl sj <||||\vj cause of the fact 7/ that Lydia E. Pink- || lv* I) ham's Vegetable Jl vj"1 Jh /K Compound makes V\\ women normal, J] iC healthy and strong. If yon want special advice write to Lydia E. Pinkliam Medicine Co. (confidential) Lynn, Mass.
