“Gfaen Up
to die sevenil times, yet I am spared
tell how i was saved,” writes Mrs.
A. Stowe, 237 N. 4lh St., San
‘Jose, Cal. “I had valvular heart
trouble so severe that I was pro
nounced ‘gone’ two different times.
The valves of my heart failed to
work properly, and circulation was
so sluggish that the slightest exertic«i
produced fainting. ‘There is to
nope’ said my physician, so 1 decided
to try pr. Miles’ Heart Cure and the
result I consider miraculous. I art
satisfied it saved my life.”

Vulcss tbo voice sounds cordiality
words are powerless; unless the voice
attests self coulhh nee protestations do
not convince; unless the voice speaks
sincerity the apology is useless. It Is
necessary that we should control the
voice to a collection of that phase of
mind and mood which we desire to
present. When we would convince
people of our olilcioney, we must not
permit a v ; eak kneed voice to stagger
under the words. When our heart
goes out in warmth and affection, it
cannot get far in a brass lined, iron
liotinil voice. Conciliation is vain
when t!ie voice rings defiance.
Imagine yourself at a telephone
when the Instrument whirs and
wheezes. The most impassioned ap
peal to John to come home to dinner
and meet Cousin Mary is likely to
prove Ineffectual. A message to “that
brute of a dressmaker man” who
wants ids money may he divided Into
the receiver with all dignity of tone
atul choice of word, but the wabbled
reproduction at the other end does upt
go. You may use all your mo. t dulcet
tones and most expressive words when
you are talking through the possessed
wire to the business manager, but if
the possessed wire is in a creaky fit
the business manager does not get the
right Idea at all.
The truth is that most of us are al
ways talking through a telephone. The
honest will, the courteous Intent, the
high heart of courage, speaks clear and
sweet and strong, but the mufiled,
wheezy, creaky, thin, unnatural, color,
less result at our lips misrepresents
us. and John doesn't, the dressmaker
man Insists, and the business man-
i ngp!' gives the other fellow the Job.
j What can we do about it? The dllli-
! eully Is almost always first a voice
I habit—a color the voice has taken on
' from some prevailing tint in our life,
i This is so witl) almost every one. This
stain of the natural voice color is not
voice individuality; it is a modifying
of voice individuality, an obscuring of
it. It is a habit, not a characteristic.
It must be got rid of.
Only just what you want must go
Into your voice. Think of that a lit
tle. When you eail to the child who
stamis on the edge of a fall, shall your
paid** go into your voice or just the re-
assuring'note of gentle authority that
you know will bring the child to you
instead of startling it over the dread
ful edge? When you interview the in
subordinate cook, shall your sense
tiiat site very well deserves to he
thrown out of your back door and her
trunk on top of her prevail in your
voice or your earnest desire to keep
her in hand till after the impending
dinner? When you face just the per
sonality in your world who holds at the
minute your fortunes in his gift, shall
your sick sense that lie does not know
anil may not believe In your fitness for
what you are going to ask color your
voice, or shall your firm belief that you
can 11 li the place characterize it? That
is the whole question. Shall your
voice vibrato to such quality of your
mood as you choose, or shall it bo at
the mercy of just what will do you in
justice in the mind of those who hear?

There are at the present moment
seven full regiments of Irishmen in
the British tinny—the Enniskillen
fttsileers. the Connaught rangers, the
Koynl Dublin fuslleers, the Royal Irish
fukOeem, tho Royal Mnusler fuslleers,
the Royal Irish regiment nnd the Royal
Irish lilies. And these Irish regiments
are freer from any admixture of for
eign or non-Irish blood than probably
any other seven regiments in her maj
esty’s army.
Not only are these Irish regiments
composed of Irishmen, but the mixture
of Irishmen in the English and Scottish
regiments Is very material. Of the
202,000 troops in the British army in
ISOS, 1 r»S,.j(iO were of English, 20,1170 of
Irish nnd 10,*180 of Scottish birth.—

Mr. Wtt Ting Fang, th** Chinese min

because of his genial humor and com
panionable ways. At a little dinner
the other night he bad to answer tt
toast. He began with a complimentary
allusion to American ways, bnt said
there are a few tilings about oriental
civilization superior to our own. There
had been some beastly weather that
week, and lie turned to Willis Moore,
the weather bureau chief, who sat
close by. “Tor Instance,” lie* said
fieri ely, “we in China would lung ago

It dazed the company for a minute,
but they soon grasped the playful allu

R'-eeutly au Illinois congi'er.iinan,
while at home, received u letter t'foui
one of his constituents who hud sc*eur-
e*l a position In Washington. The writ
er was not nt all modert in his re
quest, but stnijily asked the congress-
man to go to the house of his constit
uent, get an oi l pair of shoes mid mall
them to him under the congressional
frank.
The member was startle*! at the au
dacity of Ids correspondent, and, it 1b
needless to say, he <tid nut comply with
the request. The same meml*er re
ceived a letter from one of his constit-
ii* sits asking him to secure the voter a
position as bartender in this city. As
this Is not in lint* with the work of a
congressman and as I’nclc Sam docs
not employ any one In this capacity,
this reque.-t was also turned down.
One niornh.g the same member was
amused by finding In his mail a letter
from one of bis constituents who Is In
love with a young woman residing in
the statesmans district. Tho writer
said he knew the member bad consid
erable Influence and modestly request
ed him to exert It to bring about a
marriage between the two persons in
question. He went on to explain Imw
much property the young woman own
ed, how charming and beautiful she
Is nnd the Intensity of tin* love be lutd
for her. While the congressman was
willing to favor Ids constituent, he did
not know Just how to go about It, na lie

The following extract from un ex
change tits our case so nicely Unit
we reprint it.uml hope that some sub
scribers will make a personal appli
cation “of tin* moral it Is designed to
convey.”
There was once si farmer, who hud
18<K) bushels of wheat, which be sold
noc to u single grain merchant, but to
1800 different persons, a bushel to
each. A few of them paid him cash
but by fur the great er port ton of tin m
said it was not convenient then but
would pay later. A few month? passed
And the man’s bunk account ran low.
“How’s this,” ho said, “my ISO*)
bushels of wheat t-houiJ have k< pi
me In ullluet.ce until unothi r crop Is
raised, but 1 have parted with th.)
grain and have instead only a vu.-t
number of accounts, so small and
scattered that I cannot get around
and collect thorn fast enough to pay
expenses.” Ho ho posted up a public
notice asking all those who owed him
to pay quickly, but few came. Tho
rest said “Mine is only a small matter,
and I will go and pay it one of t!)*.*-..*
days” forgetting that though each ac
count was small, they meant a large
sum to the man. Tilings went on
thus, i'he man got to feeling so badly
that he fell out of bod nnd awoke,
nnd running to bis granary found tiie
18U0 bushels of wheat still tin re. He
had only been dreaming; he had m.t
sold ins w heat at ail.
Moral: The mxt day the men
went to the puplisher of his paper
and saitl: “Here, sir, is the pay Lr
your paper,and when next year's sub
scription is due you can depend on me
to pay promptly. 1 stood in Die
position of an editor last night, and I
know how it feels to have one’s hon-
o.-tly earned money all over the coun
try in small accounts,”

Here is a fable for tho man who
doesn’t advertise. “A duck which
had laid several deze.'! eggs during the
season, complained that while in r
working record was more than tha'
of the hon’d, tho latter had bonks and
poems written in her honor while no
one had a word of praise fort lie- duck
A wise old rooster standing by said:
’’You lay an egg and then waddle off
wilhout saying a wmd, while thut
sister of mine rs one withon*
letting everyone in the neighborhood
know about it. If you want to cut
any ice around here you must
advertise.”
