Tired nerves, with that "no ambi tion" feeling that is commonly felt in* spring or early summer, can be easily and quickly; altered by taking what is known to druggists every where as Dr. Shoop's Restorative. One will absolutely note a changed feeling within 48 hours after beginning to take the Restorative. The boweis get sluggish In the winter-time, the cir culation often slows up, the Kidneys ere inactive, and even the Heart in many cases grows decidedly weaker. Dr. Shoop's Restorative is recognized everywhere as a genuine tonic to these vital organs. It builds up and strengthens th* worn-cut weakened nerves; it sharpens the failing appe tite, and universally aids digestion. It always quickly brings renewed strength, life, vigor, and ambition Try it and be convinced. Sold by Dir.' J. G. Wanuarnaker Mfg. Co.

A very large mastiff at one end of a leash end a very small girl at the other end formed a combination which attracted the attention of a casual pedestarian in a quiet side street. i The little girl doubtless thought that she was taking the dog out for an airing, but the big animal himself appeared to have the impression that he was the leader of the expedition, and, beyond question, the balance of power was entirely on his side. He dragged the .girl along1, despite her seolding and expostulation, at a pace which kept her breathless. Suddenly, either from a whim of his own or because somebody bad been in the habit of taking him there, he darted through the swing ing doors of a corner saloon. The little girl looked horrified, but, cling ing determinedly to her end of the leash, she followed her charge, and as the doors swung shut behind her the casual pedestarian heard this ex asperated remonstrance: "Oh, darnfound it! Don't yo? know ladies don't go there? It's only a place for mans!" Her Idea of a Setter. Mr. Fatbush?"I have just bought a Gordon setter." Mrs. Flatbush?"Well, I hope to gracious it will set better than our other hens!"?Yonkers Statesman. Pays For Stolen Apples. Horace Richardson, for many years a leading grocer, but now re tired, is In receipt ot a letter mailed In this city, from an unknown writer, reading: "Mr. Richardson?When I was a girl, a few years ago, I was in your store, with other glrlb i took, some apples unknown to you, which we ate. I didn't know It was wrong, but I have learned since I grew older, and I inclose 25 cents in stamps, wtrlch will fully repay you for all loss by my act" No name is signed to the letter, but the writer adds: "You do not know who I am but If we both go to heaven then you will know."?In dianapolis News. Unkind. "It was simply wonderful what '.hat thought-reader did," giggled ihe elderly spinster. "He divined everything by just looking Into my face." "H'm. He probably read between the lines," purred her dearest friend. Silly Idea. "Among the Quakers," said Miss Wise, "I believe the men wear their hats in church." "How ridiculous!" exclaimed Miss Gidilay. "As if any one could pos sibly be interested in men's hats." ?Philadelphia Press. The Burden. "The late Senator Pettus," said a 3elraa man, "came to view with a little alarm, in his latter years the Immense and unrestricted immigra tion to oar shores. "Walking one evening with him, 1 ;iolnted to a foreigner marching ilong at the bead of his family. The aan was tall, erect, robust, a superb y handsome fellow. " 'There,' I said 'Is a fine figure of in immigrant. See how hj carries aimseif.' "Senator Pettus laughed bitterly. " 'Yes,' he said, 'and see how he lets his wife carry everything else.' " Too Strenuous. "My son tells me you've dis charged him," said the office boy's nothcr, "and I ?hink that's strange: vou advertised for a strong boy, and he's certainly?"

From the time he is two months to two years old baby should have at least from twelve to fourteen hours sleep in the twenty-four, the amount of course decreasing as he grows older From two years until four he should have two hours sleep during the day, besides what he has at night To keep-an Infant or young child up late at nlgvit is abominable, for the nervous habits he develops in the stimulation of lights and being among people at the time he should be quiet may never be overcome. Baby should be asleep for the night by siven o'clock, and not later, if he is to have the rest necessary. It is not well to rock him to sleep, for the motion is bad, in spite of what our grandmothers thought and did, says The New York Evening Telegram. It may bring on cerebral congestion, as a result of the enlarged condition of the brain vessels, and the best way of j fixing him for the night is to put him in his crib on cool sheets and let him go to sleep alone. It may take some time and trouble at first to train him to this, but it can and should be done, both for his sake and that of his parents. Lingerie Is Simple, But Fine. The vogue for figured materials has Invaded the province of lingerie, and although white holds its place of prominence In the best models, delicate tints such as pink, blue and lavender are also favored by sman women. A negligee of white dimitj is illustrated and expresses the las work in fine underwear. / It has a Bquare collar and yoke, borderee with a wide fold of hand embroid ery and the short, loose sleeves an ^trimmed In the r.ame way. Where they are divided they are caugb. with bows of daiaty wash ribbon. A genuine high necked gown ii rare these days, and some of th< best Lingerie designers add. ugly but a compromise Is often effect el by giving a model a high back and i semi-decolette front. Of these the square cut models are decidedly th moBt becoming as is shown in th< model. i Don't Cross Your Legs. A most injurious habit, comrooL alike to men and women, is thai o. sitttng with one leg swung over .hi knee of the other. Headaches, col feet, varicose veins, ulcers and many other discomforts attendant on ai imperfect circulation of the b1ob< are directly traceable to this habli When the right leg is swung over the left knee the whole weight 1 sustained by thid knee, placing ai. the pressure against the under pan of the right leg between the calf am: the knee-cap. At this very pla e ar a great number of large vein , ar terles and nerves; the pressure oi them crowds all the tissues togeihe, and materially Interferes with flu circulation of the blood, and thi disturbance of nature's p ocessvi manifests itself in many bodily evil, and inconveniences. Many wh< would not be guilty of crossing tin legs in public often surrender to th temporary comfort of the position U the seclusion of their own rouir.s I is wrong and injurious, says th. Delineator, because it defies natun; whose laws are more Imperative thai these of society. Offenders, Beware!

It U in fact, expressly designed for "mo toring" ladles who will not wcar the pin less hood, and whose more beau tiffing hats are not to be kept on by ordinary straight pins.

Best Healer in the World. Rev. F.

Don't try to quicken the appetite of men for righteousness by preach ing on rottenness. Poetry Worth Reading In the Adirondacks. I love this* dreamy solitude, While thus I swing In thoughtful mood And think on boyhood's sunny days. Far down, through mum'ry's misty haze. Afar across the dimplsd lako T see the threat'ning storm clouds break, The sun burst forth, and all the scene Crown sudden gay with gloriouB Bheen. The water, with its myriad eyes, Looks heavenward In pleased sur prise. The dancing wavelets cease their glee, As the light zephyrs tlm'rous flee; And, mirrorlike, 'the now still lake Blue tints from heaven seemB to take; While all adown the fringed line, Reflected, stand the birch and pine, j The lonely heron wings its way Athwart the shadows of Gi* bay. The squirrels chase from tree to tree In all their wild wood ecstasy. And so I swing, and dream, and , muse How little man may pick or ohoou, Or stay the mighty press of time, Which rolls eterne its way sublime. C. Leslie Adams. The Subject of Discussion. From the Washington Star. I heard de winds a-whisperin' in da clover field one day, About de lazies' critter dat had ever come dat way; Dey didn' know his reg'lar name, an* so in laughln' tones. Dey christened him delrse'fs an' call ed him "Mistuh Lazybones." He didn' gather honey like dat busy bee, Nor dress up. like de butterfly, foh every one to see; He'd stretch hisse'f out in de shade an' look up toward de sky, An' not pay no attention as the hours ?^went dfiftin' by. An' de bee it kep' a-hummin'. an' de yaller jacket buzz, An' de locust laughed an' hollered, like dn way he allus does; An' I got so intersted dat I staid de whole day through, A-listenin' to 'em teil how Mistuh Lazybones would do! An' when de sun was droppin' pas' de treetops in de wes' I stahted, sittin' up an' takin' notice mo' or less; An' den I couldn' stop myse'f f'um laughln', 'cause you see Dat Mistuh Lazybones dat dey waB talkln' 'bout was me! The Rescue. Oh, the night was still And the night was chill, As you sailed those Artie seas, When you with a sigh, Merely said good-by, And resigned yourself to freeze. On those snow cad plains Bound with icy chains No hope of relief was found, Vou felt more than fear That he end was near When you?Hark! What was thai sound? To your cry for help r Comes an answering yelp? A wrangle and jangle and jar With a beating heart From your place you start All dazed to find where you are. For it's only the knock Of the wake-up clock With Its daily gibe and scoff, And you're not aboard ship On an artic trip? Just abed with the covers off. ?Indianapolis Newa Sweet Vagrom Days of Life. I know a path that leads away Far from the busy haunts of men Where little children came to play And frolic in the shady glen, Ah! long ago I sung with thorn The songs their children sing to day. I know a brook that leaps along The meadow and the pastureland: In days ago its merry song Made music; and again I stand And listen to the meadow brook Make music?and my heart grows . strong. I roam a vag-om as before Beyond the valleys and the hills: While with the wanderers of yc e My heart renews the olden tnrills; I frolic In the shady glen And am a boy with boys once more. Horace Seymour Keller. The Sen of Peaks. From the Denver Republican. Billows that never break, Great waves that n.^ver roar, Firm strands that never shako?? Motionless sea and shore. Whitecaps of summer snow. Missing not in the breeze; Cloud ships that come and go, Wraithlike, o'er silent seas. Oean of crag and peak, When ends thy mystery? When shall thy breakers apeak. Startling eternity? The Lucky Quarter Is the one you pay for a box of Dr. King's New Life Pills. They bring you the health that's more precious than jewels. Try them for headache, biliousness, constipation and malaria. If they disappoint you the price will be cheerfully refunded at Dr. J. G. Wannamaker Mfg. Co., drug store.
