and say "Mamma" to the only daugbt<

Bright Eyes did not deign to noti<
poor Dorothy when she remarked th:

gust. At the next corner the driv
removed the ark. with Its noisy at

put her painted face close to the ear
Bright Eyes and whispered: "You a
prettier than I cm. I know; but eai

derstand what they said. How i

little painted face of Dorothy Ja
with evident amusement.
"You don't pretend to call yoursc
a Christmas present. I hope?" she sai
"You must have been put together

"I believe that I am happier than y<

Dorothy Jane knew nothing aliou

Bright Eyes that she had missed en

two buggies and one twe-horse wagon.

robbed of the jewelry and individual '
packages will feel it severely.

of Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable

" Dkar Mr3. PiXKHan:?A while
ago my health began to fail because of
female troubles. The doctor did noi
help me. I remembered tnai my moinsr
had used Lyrtia E. Pinkham'ft
Vegetable Compound on many occasions
for irregularities and uterine ' '
troubles, and I felt sure that it could
not harm me at any rate to give it ft
trial.
" I was certainly glad to find that
within a week 1 felt much better, the
terrible pains in the back and side
were beginning to cease, and at thft
time of menstruation I did not hare
nearly as serious a time as heretofore,
so I continued its use for two months,
snd at the end of that time I was-like
a new woman. I really have'never
felt better in my life, hare not had ft'
sick headache since, and weigh 26
pounds more than I ever did, so I unhesitatingly
recommend your medicine."?
