Genuine Relief
"For five years" writes Mrs. L Fulenchek, Houston,
Texas, "I suffered with pains all over, especially in my back
and side, and was so weak I could hardly do my housework.
A friend told me of Cardui, Since taking itf I feel so much
better I Now 1 can d# alt my housework, and am not bothered
with pains at all. Cardui has been a wonderful help to me."
Cardui, the woman's tonic, has proven especially beneficial,
in cases of womanly ailments with pain as a principal symp
tom, whether the pains come from too much walking, standing,
stooping, or just as a symptom of general female weaknew.
Cardui Is a strength-building medicine. You need it If
your system Is out of order, or It you suffer from any of the
pains, to which women are peculiarly liable, ?
Women who need strength, should find it
in Cardui.
Fifty years of success have produced a con
fidence in Cardui, that cannot be ignored. Dur
ing this time, Cardui has benefited a million
women. Why not you, now?
All druggists keep Cardui in stock, all the
time.
Get a bottle and try it, to-day.

A Monnonlte Custom.
When a young man reaches the
marriageable ago and shows those
well-known symptoms the elders of
the ohurch hold a meeting. They
decide If be Is honest and reliable
to buy him a farm, usually an eighty.
Into the farm he puts his savings, and
then members . or the congregation
raise the rest of the funds to pay for
the land.
This amount the young man must
pay back with a small rate of inter
est. Thus *y example and material
assistance they bind him by the
strongest bonds, that of debtor to the
church. They know full well thnt
nothing can be lost, for the land Is
always worth what it will cost: After
the young people are located on their,
farm tne elders assist with advice
and help. Do'you wonder that this
thrifty people are gradually ? buying
the best of nil Kansas land and the
best part of the nicest little city

state??Seneca Tribune.
When Publicity Is Desired.
"X Y. Z, this office," was the way
the woman usually wound up the nu
merous lost article advertisements ne
cessitated by her absent-mindedness.
The other day sho tired of anonymity
and returned In about ten minutes with
the request that her name bo substi
tuted for the initials.
"I attended to that In tho first place,
madkme," said the clerk.
"You did?" sho exclalmod. "How
did you know 1 wanted to use my own
name?"
He pointed to tho words "Metropoli
tan opera house" in hor advertisement.
"Decauso that Ih where you loBt your
bracelet," he said. "I never yet met a
person who wished to keep his Identi
ty secret when advertising for any
thing lost at tho opera house. People
who lose things any place else In New
York often resort to initials when ad
vertising, but If It happened at" the
opera houso tho nioro publicity they
can get the better."
An Awful Warning.
To those students of English litera
ture who like to write of le dernier

and generally to pepper their pages
with tags of Latin and French, the fol
lowing authentic composition Is pre
sented as an "awful warning,*' says
the University Correspondent. It Is
the letter of an Indian suBpostmaster
who 1h anxious to be promoted: "Sir:

December 1 appears from old calen

sary for Cambro-Brltlsh worthies
about whom we know little beyond
their names. It lit the Feast of Bt.
IJelnlol, an Interesting personage to
all Liberals because he la the "patron"
of Hawarden and gave his name to the
library which Mr. Gladstone estab
lished there. This date Is alto the
"memorial" of the 'salnte of the Isle

A shamo to Spend the Money.
"Pianissimo, pianissimo," said the
vocal teacher to the student, "your
voice is too loud- I^earn to shade your
tones."
And the student worked hard to
carry out instructions. ?
When she went to her next lesson
the teacher Bald: "Better?but still
too loud. Try again?you will get It
after a while."
Again the student returned to her
room and tried for a softer tone. Again
the teacher told her it was still too
lond.
Now William, the, colored butler,
without whom the house would nevor
have gone on properly, had heard and
wondered at this gradual dlipiQlshing
of lono. It did seem a shame to spend
the money. Ho would interview the
lady who occupied the room below
that of the vocal pupil.
"What does you think about de
voice above?" he askod, pointing to
the colling. "Hit strikes me hlt'a
growln' weakah ev'y day."
?* Hypnotizing Lobsters,'
Here Is a curious and little known
experiment that can be made with
live lobsters. It Is quite Impossible
to stand a lobster up "on end" unless
It Is first put to sleep.
This Is" done by slowly stroking Its
tall -downward with the hand two or
three times, when the fish Is at once
thrown Into a state of coma, or deep
sleep, and remains In that position,
without a movement of any kind, for
about ten minutes. Even its eyes are
fixed, and it ?has every appearance of
being dead.
Another curious thing Is that when
one lobster wakes up the noise It
makes In falling down rouses all the
others; and the effect of one or more
waking up Is very strange.
Abolish Bdar Traps.
Wllllamsport sportsmen Intend to

the bear bo more fully protected
than under the present laws. It la
pointed out by those baok of the
movement that the catching of bears
In traps not only tends to exterminate
the species of game but la a cruel
practice, as the animals _frequently
free themselves by leaving parte of
their legs in the trap.?Philadelphia

8t. Erkenwald.
A church at Southend, England, has
been dedicated to St. Erkenwald?the
only one of Its kind In existence. Erk
enwald* who was bishop of Ixmdon
from 076 to 093 A. D., was at one time
a very popular-saint in his country, it
was he who built the first stone cathe
dral of 8t. Paul's. He, too, it was who
erected In the eastern portion of tho
city the gate which gave the name to
BlBhopsgate. This prelate Buffered from
gout during the later years of his life,
and had to be carried about on a litter.
After his death this llher was careful
ly preserved In Old St. Paul's, where
be was burled, and In courso of time
miraculous virtues were attributed to
It. It was held' to be a sovereign cure
for fever, and fever-stricken pilgrims
from *11 parts of the country would
flook to the shrine of St. Erkenwald.
Mixed on Hit Melody.
A well-known newspaper that boasts
the authority and the excellence of >>ts
dramatic and musloal criticism pub
lished recently a criticism of a certain
churmluK light opera. The dramaUo
editor wan lavish In his praise of songs

unmixed with censure, that the plot
was slightly unconvincing.
