GIFT NOT ALL A GIFT.
Generosity That Wae Purely the R«
ault of Accident.
A missionary bishop tohl this story
about F. Minion Crawford, tho famous
novelist:
"Mr. Crawford wont to aohool," ho
aald, "In ('uncord, and one day he was
taken to call at a Concord clergy-
man's.
"Tho clergyman had a mlBslonury
box on bin drawing room table, and,
tlmo hanging heavily on tho boy's
hands. he amused himself with try-
ing whether a sliver dollar—It wus
all the money ho had In tho world,
and he had converted It Into that gl-
frantic coin for Hafcty—would go Into
the Hilt In the box's top.
"It was a clone til. but unfortunate-
ly It did go, and tho coin slipped out
of tho embryo author'a lingers. There
was a terrible crush of allver falling
among tho coppers and then the boy,
us the novelists aay, 'knew no more.'
"When be came to himself he found
tho clergy man and his family in rap-
tures over his generosity."

sician for an obstinate cane of eczema,
1 resorted to the Cuticura Remedies,
ami was so well pleased with tho al-
most Instantaneous relief afforded that
«o discarded the physlt ian's prescrip-
tion and relied entirely on the Cuti-
cura Soap. Cuticura Ointment, and Cu-
ticura l'lils. When we commenced
with the Cuticura Remedies her feet
and limbs were covered with running
sores. In about, .six weeks we had her
completely well, and there has been
no recurrence of the trouble.
"In July of this year a little boy In
our family poisonud his hands and
arms with poison oak, and in twenty-
four hours his bands and arms were ft
mass of torturl'ig sores. Wo used
only the Cuticura Remedies, and In
about three wn i s his bands and arms
healed up. Mrs. Lizzie Vincent Thomas,

For Womanly
To Obtain Relief
from the pains, that assail women, try Wine of Cardui,
the well-known, successful remedy,'for womanly ills.
Everybody knows that Cardui is a pure, harmless,
vegetable extract, containing ingredients of special
curative powers over the womanly organs.
In popular use, for over 50 years, it has benefited
over a million sick women, and has proven itself
indeed "Woman's Relief."
Mrs. Minnie Lambe, of Lebanon Junction, Ky.,
writes: "Cardui has done me more good than all the
doctors' medicines ever did for me. I had pains in
my head, shoulders, arms, sides, back, joints, bad

cramping spells in my stomach, and bearing-down
pains, at my periods, till 1 just almost died.
"I wrote you for advice, although I thought
there was no medicine that could help me. On your
advice I beg;:n to take Cardui, and it has
done wonders for me. Now all those
"Wu pains are relieved and I am much better.

Evil of Tipping System.

evident they are on a rapid increaae.
The manager of a large r<si,iurant
says the system of having servants
depend almost entirely upon patrons
for tlu ir pay lowers their moral stan-

they nre supposed to servo as their
