Indianapolis, Indiana.— M I was in a
wary nervous and run-down condition
while
nursing my
baby, and hearing
some talk of Lydia
E. Pinkham’s Vege-
table Compound, I
began taking it.
From the second
bottle I noticed a big
improvement, and I
am still taking it. I
am not a bit nervous
now, and feel like a
different person. It
is a great medicine
for.aqy one in a nervous, run-down con-

<iition and I would be glad to give any
one advice about taking it. I think
there is no better medicine and give
you permission to publish this letter.” '

I'll run 4n- Just rs soon’s you get your
apple boxes moved. I'll want to see
how you’re gettin’ on. And-say, Mis’
Penfield, even if your stock goeS'Tip,
you won't never forget what close
neighbors, we been, will you?’’
“No, Mrs. Wopple, never,” promised
Mrs. Penfield warmly.. , „
Amusedly she admitted to herself
that Mrs. Wopple had not been far
wrong about the ‘ apple boxes, which
had served <he family for multifarious
purposes during the months that were
past. It was different now—or would
be tomorrow. Mrs. Penfield had de
cided to purchase a few pieces of fur
niture, to be paid for In Installments
and to form the nucleus of a real
home, real in appearance as well as
In spirit.
She was about to set forth on this
errand when a man in livery, turned
the,crank in the erstwhile barn-door
at' Number 47 and delivered a letter
to Mrs.' Penfield. She opened-ttre-
letter wonderingly and read it twice
before she could compreheud its mean
ing. It was written on heavy white
paper, with Mrs. Weatherstone’s ad
dress engraved. 1 ~
. “Dear Mrs. Penfield:” It fan. “Will
you do me the honor to accept a few
articles which I have gathered up
around the house In the course of our
refurnishing and shall send to you to
morrow? Think of them, please, as
the co-operation of one mother with
another for those who have no mother.
If at any time you should hear of any
one else who is doing for forlorn chil
dren a sendee similar to your own)
will you kindly let me know?
“Sincerely yours,
“ANNETTE WEATHERSTONE."
Mrs. Penfield dropped the letter and
sat for a long time, thinking. “Mrs.
Weath’stone’s got real feelings,” was
the thought uppermost in her mind.
“She knows I wouldn’t accept any
thing for myself, and she knows I can’t
refuse things for children that ain't
my own. Between the two, I don’t
see’s I can do anything—except to
thank her best I know how.” •
Mrs. Penfield> would never forget
the lean days between Christmas and
New Year’s. As never before she had
realized by how frail a shield she was
protecting three children from want
and suffering. A slight disturtmnce.in
the established routine could reduce
them to Immediate distress, and as
rapidly as feasible she must accumu
late an emergency fund which would
make a recurrence of those days^lm-
posslble. —- . . '•

First Race of True Men:
So far tis it is possible to estimate
the first race of true men (Homo
sapiens) appeared in Europe some
where between 40,000 and 25,000 year*
ago. Their predecessors, the Neander
thal race, a sub-human type, are be
lieved to have lived as.-a race for some
200,000 years of - time before the ap
pearance of true men. Mankind, was
a gradual development, ' apparently,
froth sub-human and lower “types?, and
In. that sense it is not possible to
visualize the “first 'man” and “first
woman.’’- But mankind, then, ns now,
was born, lived and finally died, as
mankind does today. The “first men
and women” therefore met the fate of
all animal life; they were killed or
