Wally, and Glass suddenly smote Ms

"I forgot the rug!"
“ We don't want no arg'ment after

fate?" Still Bill glared at the facet
ringed about him.
"W e do If Skinner says so.”
"Twice around the corral," agreed
Skinner. "Hut no accidents, under

For the first time, then, Skinner ad

"Then the loser gets the ribbon!”
Gallagher announced loudly, and made
one end fast to the corral. "Which I

General Booth thus epitomized hie
career: "When I started my work I
gave up the friendship of the people
of the better class. I gave up tho
hope of wealth and I abandoned am
bltion. Now I have found all that 1
gave up. Had I wished It 1 could be
wealthy My publications have brought
me thousands of pounds, but every
cent of it has gone back as It cams,
for the betterment jf the conditions
of humanity, for making people happy.
Similarly, I have the best friends In
all classes, and, so far as ambition ts
concerned, if 1 am not the best known
man In the world, I am prayed for tbe
most.’’

Shamrock, Mo.— “ I feel It m y duty
to tell the public the condition o f my
health before using
your medicine. I had

pains in both aides,
backaches and bear

short o f memory,
nervous, impatient,
passed a 1 e e p I e a a

neither strength nor
energy. There w as always a fe a r and
dread In my mind, I had cold, nervous,
weak spells, hot flashes over my body.
1 had a place in my right aide that was
so sore that I could hardly bear the
weight o f my clothes. I tried medicines
end doctors, but they did me little good,
snd I never expected to get out again.
I got Lydia E. Pinkham’s V egetable
Compound and Blood Purifier, and I cer
tainly would have been In grave or in an
asylum if your medicines had not saved
me. But now I can work all day, sleep
well at night, eat anything I want, have
no hot flashes or weak, nervous spells.
A ll pains, aches, fears and dreads are
gone, my house, children snd husband
are no longer neglected, as I am almost
entirely free o f the bad symptoms I had
before taking your remedies, snd all is
pleasure and happiness In my home.
