It !s earnestly hoped that everybody

lay aside captious fault finding, and

Severe strains un the vital organs,
like strains on machinery, cause
break-downs. You can't over-tax
stomach, liver, kidneys, bowels or
nerves without serious danger to
yourself. If you are weak or rundown,
or under strain of any kind,
'.ake Electric Bitters, the matchless,
tonic medicine, Mrs J E Van de
Sande of Kirkland, 111, writes: "That
I did not break down, while enduring
a most severe strain, for three
months,is due wholly to Electric Bitters."
Use them and enjoy health
and strength. Satisfaction positively
guaranteed. 50c at M L Allen's.

Tke Timid Young Bride Coached by
Her Husband.
A young bride who belonged to a
charity club aud sometimes bed to go
out alone after dark was very much
afraid of being stopped and rebbed.
Her husband disliked to provide her
with a revolver, bur he bought a
punching bag and showed her bow to
use her fists and where to place the
most telling: blow In case of tnolestatlOD.
"Below the belt, mind you." he adjured
ber?"below the belt. Such a
blow if properly planted will make a
man sorry quicker than anything. If
any one steps our in front of you your
course will brt ea?y. If he comes up
behind you swing round suddenly and
strike out hard. The robber will repent
of his evil ways in a hurry."
That night was the bride's late evening.
and she happened to he comincr up
the street just in front of her busbar 1
when iio ?aw her. and the spirit of mischief
took possession of him.
"Wonder if she'd really do as I told
her or If her little fists would hurt
any one?" he pondered.
Two seconds later he found out.
Walking up behind his wife, lie laid a
heavy hand upon her shoulder. He
had no time in which to say anything,
and she made no effort in that direction.
She simply obeyed his instructions
to the letter, swinging round
with a suddenness which completely
disconcerted hltn. and delivered a blow
that made all the rest of his predictions
come true.
Then she tied home with the speed
and energy of a frightened deer, not
even waiting to cast a single glance at
the discomfited man who had. as she
supposed, endeavored to rob her. She
passed the remainder of the evening In
alternately weeping out her nervousness
npon her husband's sbouldef* and
wondering why be looked so pale.
A Fellow Named Marty.
John Stetson, the famous old theatrical
manager of Boston, was a -man
of great native ability, but his ea?lr
education had been somewhat neglected.
and the go-as-you-please fashion
In which he handled the king's English
was continually horrifying his
punctilious fellow townsmen, un one
occasion he was interested In the organization
of a light opera company
and was disappointed to hear that a
certain popular prima donna whom tn
hoped to secure was about to start
south.
"I've signed a contract for Mard!
Gras." she said, "to sing In New Orleans."
"Huh!" grunted Mr. Stetson. "Hope
you get your money." 1-ater od he reported
the matter to his partner.
"Well, we can't get her." he said.
"She's gone and joined a fake Grac
opera company."
"Which Grau Is running the show?"
asked the other.
"A fellow named Marty," replied Mr.
Stetson. "You know Maurice (jras
has about 200 second cousins, and tbls
mast be one that's jost gone Into the
business."
Happiness.
No mockery in this world erer sounds
to me so hollow as that of being told
to cultivate happiness. What does
such advice mean? Happiness is not
a potato In mold and tilled with manure.
Happiness Is a glory shining
far down upon us ont of heaven. She
is a divine dew which the soul on certain
of Its summer mornings feels
dropping upon it from the amaranth
bloom and golden fruitage of paradise.?Charlotte
Bronte.
