If there is any one thing that a woman dreads more than another it is a surgical* operation. We can state without fear of a contradiction that there are hun dreds, yes, thousands, of operations performed upon women in our hos pitals which are entirely unneces sary and many have been avoided by LYDIA EPIlf?HANTS VEGETABLE COMPOUND For proof of this statement read the following letters. Mrs. Barbara Base, of Kingman, Kansas, writes to Mrs. Pinkham: " For eight j-ears I suffered from the most severe form of female troubles and was, told that an operation was my only hope of recovery. I wrote Mrs. Pinkham for advice, and took Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound, and it has saved my life and made me a well woman." Mrs. Arthur R, House, of Church Road, Moorestown. K. J., writes : "I feel it is my duty to let people know what Lydia E. Pinkham's Vege table Compound has done for me. I suffered from female troubles, and last March my physician decided that an operation was "necessary. My husbnnd objected, and urged me to try Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound, and to-dav I am well and strong." FACTS FOR SICK WOMEN. For thirty years Lydia E. Pink ham's Vegetable Compound, made from roots and herbs, has been the standard remedy for female ills, and h as positively cured thousands of women who ha ve l>een troubled with displacements, inflammation, ulcera tion, fibroid tumors, irregularities, periodic pains, and backache.

Orangeburg Hardware & Furniture Co. He tossed a collar box with Bar prising accuracy from the chest of drawers into the capacious gladstone that lay on the bed and whistled "Why Do They Call Me a Gibson Girl?" The collar box was foUowel by va rious other useful articles, and the Gibson Girl shaded off almost imper ceptibly into the National Anthem. ? Mr. Seamore frowned. "I'm sick ! of frock coats and top nats,' he said; ! "I'm sick of London drawing rooms and pretending to be a tremendous swell on ?200 a year; I'm sick of ar tificiality and humbug; 1 want to live and"? "And what's the name of the girl?" interrupted his friend. Mr. Sea more put his foot thougntfully upon a pile of shirts in order to press them down. "Isn't it rather a* pity to talk rot?" he said. It was the same afternoon. Hon orable Charles Duguid had left his chum to finish packing, and arrayed in all the panoply suitable for an af ternoon call was taking tea at the residence of Sir Philip Farebrother, the most celebrated of the present engineers. Lady Farebrother was out and he was bejng entertained by Phyllis. Phyllis was seated at the piano playing odds and ends of things as they came Into her head. Charles Duguid called to mind that Robert Seamore had been whistling tunes out of a popular piece all the morning, and the notion set him thinking. "Strange thing that Seamore should suddenly take it into his head to cut off to India, isn't it?" he said, care lessly. "What did you say?" asked the girl, stopping the music and swing ing around on the music Btool. There was surprise In her voice and some thing more than surprise. "He's going to turn tea-planter." "So many people go to India, don't they?" "Heaps of people." "I do hope he'll be successful." "So do I." "Let me see, do you take sugar?" she asked, balancing a lump aloft in the silver tongs, with a charming smile. "No, thanks." She put the lump In his cup and then another, and he bore It uncom plainingly "Is your tea quite as you like It?" 3he asked. * ? * "You here?" said the man. "Yes, l m?I'm here," said the girl tremulously. The place was Victoria Station, the bour was ten minutes short of eight o'clock in the morning, and the boa: train was almost ready to Btart. "You came to see me off?" he asked. She nodded. "It was unkind of >ou not to"? He looked at her wlstfull>, eager ly, as if he was trying to real her In nermost thoughts. *'I thought it was best to go," he said under his breath. "And without saying a word of good-by!" ohe whispered in a voice that was so near choking that he clutched at the little gloved h.snd and pressed it. Did she really care for him after all? "There's Mr. Duguid," she said. "He's looking for you?" "l'ou must get in, sir," said the guard. "Right you are, guard," said Bob bie Seamore almost cheerfully. "So-you came out to see me off at this 'inearthly hour," he added, tak ing the girl's two hands. "Yes, 1 wasn't in bed till 8 o'clock." It waB amazingly 3asy to talk light- | ly now. Even separation is. a small thing when one understands. Officious porters were banging car riage doors. "I have signed a contract for a year,' he said in a crisp, decided way. "At the end of that time 1 shall come back to you. Will you wait?" "Yes," she said, clearly, and with out hesitation,?"I shall wait for you to come back." ^ Tho train gave a jerk and he sprang in. "You must stand away, now, miss," said the guard kindly. He had gone. She stood on the pntform waving a handkerchief until the train had turned the bend and she eouid no longer see him. Then she turned away. Charles Duguid was standing there with a lock of quizzical amusement on his good-natured face. ? But he didn't tease her. He had too much tact. And she understood that he had kept away from the plat form designedly. "Shall I see you homo?" he asked. "No, thank you. I should like to be quite alone," she replied. . And again he understood. "May I congratulate you?" She looked at him with glowing ?yes. "Yes, you may congratulate me. and I must thank yo.i, ' she said. "Listen." \ battalion of guards setting out on i route maroh. was passing the st,- on and the drjmo and fifes were playing "The Girl I Left Behind Me." "Isn't is a lovely old tune?

THE SUM" OF THE DISCOUNTS. When They. Were All Figured Out the House was in His Debt. "Mark Twain is the most interest ing character in American literature to-day and has made more money out of it than any other author," said a representative of one of the great publishing houses. He was telling me that recently he went Into the sales department of our house, and being attracted by a particular book, asked the price. "Four dollars," said the clerk. " 'Well, now,' said Mr. Clemens, 'I am a newspaper writer. Don't I get a discount for that? ' " 'Certainly,' replied the obliging clerk. " 'I am also a magazine writer. Do I get something off for that?' " 'Yes,' said the clerk, 'you get a discount for that.' " 'I am also an author. Don't I come in on the author's discount?' " 'Yes, sir, you get the author's discount.' " 'In addition,' said Mr. Clemens, 'I am a stockholder in this house. Does that entitle me to something off?" " 'Yes, sir,' the clerk returned. " 'Now, continued Mr. Clemens, 'I would like to state that I am Samuel Clemens. Does that fact entitle me to another rake-off?' " 'It does, said the clerk after a moment's hesitation. " 'That's good," replied the au thor; now how much do I owe you?" " 'We owe you 80 cents,' said the clerk..'?Washington Post. NATURAL INFERENCE. "Pa, are you going to let the baby take this bottle with him In the car. riage?" "Certainly, Willie, why not?" "Folks will think this a hose cart." At the Flood.

Henry Clews, the banker and au thor, was talkin at the Union Club In New York, about a certain finan cier. "No wonder the man is so success ful," said Mr. Clews. "He is the most careful, the most suspicious fellow I ever heard of. In fact, he reminds me of a Staffordshire far mer, my father used to tell of. "It was said of this ,farmer that, whenever he bought a herd of sheep, he examined each sheep closely to make sure that It bai not cotton in It."?Washington Star. Mike's Good Reason. One of the adest and best known surgeor i of western New York, on undoing a bandage on day found to hi? surprise that he had securely fastened it to- the patient's skin. "Well, Mike," said he.

A farmer who brought some grain to the mill got into a discussion regarding the advances in prices, when the miller exclaimed: "In old times a barrel of wheat flour was $1 cheaper than now and a barrel of rye 75 cents cheaper. Wheat flour was then worth twice as much as rye, while today eleven barrels of wheat are worth twenty of rye." The puzzle is to tell the prices of rye and wheat in the days of yore. . 244.?Hidden Proverb. A well known proverb is hidden in the following seven sentences, each sentence containing one word of the proverb and the words appearing in their rightful order: Where there is a will there is a way. There are always people to see your faults, but few to see yonr virtues. It is an ill wind that blows no good to any one. You may hide your fire in a hollow place, but the smoke will ascend sky ward. There is always darkness before the dawn. (The sixth word of the proverb is the same as the third.) The fire of genius ,burns more bright ly in youth. No. 245.?A Diamond. I fly about, but never play.
