There is no fault so hard to
overcome as a hasty temper. We
may make any number of good
resolutions, and then the first
time we have any provocation a-
way we go without an instant's
warning and before we realize
what we are doin^ the unkind
words have been spoken, and no
matter how much regret wj feel
they cannot be unsuid.
Children are very observant
and even the tiny little ones no-
tice tho difference belween tha
emile and the frown on the par-
ent's face. Year by year, as
children grow older, and the
souIf, minds and hearts begin to
expand under the influence of
the environments, t-eneitive child"
ren usually cultivate uncon-
sciously the mother's dispmlioi.
The child will be sad and melan-
choly if the mother sighs and
complains. If the child is indep-
endent and self-reliant often un-
der such circum -dances it will be-
come i-tubborn and defiant.
When the child leaves childhood
behi id and became* a young man
or woman then the evil effect of
the sad mother becomes still more
apparent.
It is in the home that woman
rises to her truest heights and
weilds her widest influence. Ev-
ery home is a miniature world
and the wife is a crowned queen.
The wife who makes society the
field of her accomplishments soon
finds her husband a devoted club
man. The woman who fills her
head with many of the idea? and
pleasures of much that is called
society, soon wants to entertain
her husband any evening she
may not have some other engage-
ment with cards. She plays just
as she did to win some prize at
progressive euchre or whist par-
ties. She cheats a little, and they
have a little spat over it,and then
ano'her, and another,and presen
j tly she fires somthing at his head
but misses it and hits the motto
over the door "God Bless Our
Heme." Their little boy says:
"Ma, you missed pa's head, but
you gave the motto hail Colum-
bia." Often the only question
to be decided in that home is,
"who shall have the boy?" God
pity the woman who has set her
heart on much that is in modern
society.
Th^re is a thousand pretty,
engaging little ways, which eve-
ry person may put on without
running the ri^k of being deem-
ed affected or foppish. The
sweet emilos, the cordial bow, the
earnest movement in addressing
a friend, the enquiring glance,
the graceful attention which is so
captivating when united with
self-possession—these will insure
us the good regards of even a
churl. Above all there is a cer-
tain softness of manner which
should be cultivated, and which,
in either man or woman, adds a
charm that almost entirely
compensates for lack of beauty,
and inestimably enhances the
latter where it does not exist.
Pale Faces I
Pale-faced, weak, and
Shaky women—who suffer
every day with womanly
weakness—need the help
of a gentle tonic, with
a building action on the
womanly system. If you are
weak—you need Cardui,
the woman's tonic, because
Cardui will act directly on
the cause of your trouble.
Cardui has a record of
more than 50 years of
success. It must be good.
.The Woman's Tonic_
Mrs. Effie Graham, of
Willard, Ky., says: "I
was so weak I could
hardly go. I suffered,
nearly every month, for 3
years. When I began to
take Cardui, my back hurt
awfully. I only weighed
99 pounds. Not long after,
I weighed 115. Now, I
do all my work, and am
in good health." Begin
taking Cardui, today.
Time was when woman was de-
scribed as the helpmeet of man
Was it only a phrase, and mean-
ingless? Possibly; but then,
words in the Bible mostly did
mean something. The time, too,
was and yet is in some quarters of
the world, when a woman was a
helpmeet and acceted and work-
ed up to her position as such.
She did not demand everything
and do nothing. Why is marriage
easy and universal in such a
country as Japan? Life there is
simple; two or three small rooms
a few dishes, a mat upon which
to sleep, one dress, a little rice,
and some fruit—these suffice for
all, rich and poor alike, in a great
city like, Yeddo, which has a
civilization as perfect and as old
as ours. And it is not a life of
stupidity of barbarism; all can
read and write; manners are
good: books and pictu-es are
plenty; theaters abound; proces-
sions and festival days enliven
life, it is easy to see therefore,
why marriage is not a fearful
thing in that far off-land; and by
constrast it is easy to understand
why few have the courage to
dare it h^re.
Let our homes be places of love,
joy and brightest sunshine, place
of enduring love that outlasts
the wedding day, and which
produces a life of long unbroken
honeymoon, the molding place of
character, a place where the
child breathes an atmosphere
perfumed by the choicest flowers
of heaven, where it finds the
greatest earthly security in moth-
er's loving, fostering care.
There is only villianous abom-
inations in the doctrine that leads
a creature called b y
courtesy a man, to announce
that a transfer of his affections
warrants a breach of loyalty and
desertions of one who has be-
come his wife and the mother of
his children. No guise of proph
ecy can cover so vile a principle;
no charm of poetry gild so hate-
ful a treason, and the breath of
predition is on the lips of all such
as advooate anything else than
loyalty to wifehood and man-
hood.
There are few things more
tantalizing to a man to go home
with something on his mind he
wants to scold about, and finds
company there, and be obliged
to act agreeably.
There is nothing more conven-
ient for the lonely dwellers of the
rural districts as well as for the
more citified inhabitants of a
town than the telephone. It is
really a most obedient and faith-
ful servant, ready to carry your
important or unimportant mes-
sages without a murmur. It
brings and keeps practically the
butcher, the baker, the candle-
stick maker as well as the doc-
tor, the preacher and the merch-
ant at your door.
In the "good old days" when
spelling schools were held in
every district at least once a year,
people were better spellers. The
spelling book had a human in-
terest about it, since every word
held in it possibilities of future
victory. But we have too much
else to think of now. Our heads
will hold only so much a day;
and when we have filled up on
nature studies, geography, arith-
metic, grammar, corn growing,
classics, drawing, history, and
other miscellaneous things we
haven't much room left for spell-
ing. The question isn't at this
particular moment which is the
most important thing. But it is
a fact that we are bacoming a na-
tion of poor spellers.

Men who are really great are
willing to leave the discovery to
others.
Man's character is what he
really is; his reputation is what
the public say of him.
Men's bad opinion of others
is often the reflection of their
own.
Another pretty safe indication
of a man's character is the com-
pany he keeps out of.

Get at the root of the trouble.
Rubbing' an aching back may re-

But it wont cure it.
You must reach the root of it—the
kidneys.
Doan's Kidney Pills go right at it;
Keaeh the cause; relieve the pain.
They cure, too, so Pilot Point peo-
ple say
\V. M. Reynolds, farmer, of Pilot
Point, says; "I was greatly benefit-
ted by Doan's kidney Pills so I give
this public testimonial willingly, I
do not hesitate one moment in saying
that they are the best Kidney remedy
I ever tried. I 'jad an acute at-
tack of lame back, accompan-
ied by an almost constant ache across
my kidneys. There was also a diffi-
culty with the kidney secretions and I
was weak and run down. When I
learned af Doan's Kidney Piils 1 pro-
cured a box from S. F. Gainer's drug
store and began using them. The
results were both surprising and grat-
ifying and it was not long before my
kidney trouble had become a thing of
the past."
