The Dollar Social.
The Dollar Social given by the
W. H. M. Society at the hospita-
ble home of Mrs. S. 6. Callahan
Friday afternoon was the most
successful affair ever arranged by
the society. The hostess met each
guest at the door and ushered
them to the dining room where
they were refreshed with cold,
delicious punch, and ia her own
genial good way threw open hgr
house as well aa her heart and
made each one glad to be there.
From 3 to 5 hearts were made
happy with amusements of var-
ious kinds, contests and so on in-
terapearsed with music and laugh-
ter. The pretty home was beauti-
ful with its sweet fresh appearance
and great masses of rosea every-
where.
Mrs. Callahan was helped by
her daughter Mrs. Oscar Simpson.
The program was aa follows:
Song—“Blest be the Tie that
Binds.”
Prayer—Mrs. Alderson.
Roll call-'-Verses of scripture.
Song—Lillian Callahan.
Reading—Mrs. J. C. Brown.
Reading—Mrs. Abe Kuykendall.
Collection with verses.
Reading—Mrs. Alfred Gowdy.
Refreshments.
Lord’s prayer in concert.
Each item on the program was
Well rendered, especially the re-
freshments, and received with de-
light. The verses telling how the

We, H. C. Shonafelt as president,
With fingers weary and worn,
With eyelids heavy and red
A woman sat in her home alone,
Plying her noede and thread.
Stitch, stitch, stitch.
Flies needle thimble and yarn,
And still with a vain dolorious
pitch
She crossly says darn darn! darn!
Darn! darn! darn!
While the cock is crowing aloft.
Darn? darn! darn!
Till the sun shines on the roof.
It’s Ob! to be alon*» Along with the
. barbarous Turk.
Where woman has never a soul to
save
This ia chriatin work.
But hollow, hollow, hollow
I have that darndd dollar!
The society will pardon me 1 trust,
If in my excitement I’ve almost
cussed.

BAD OPENING.
Now since a,dollar 1 must earn,
Some scheme to get it I must learn,
So after thinking hard and fast,
I hit upon a plan at last.
And to my task at once I went
And to the work my back I bent,
Up and down with quite a splutter,
I churned the cream and made
some butter.
For this butter there was demand
Even more ready than I Lad plan-
ned.'
The task was not light ’tis quite
true,
But harp ia the dollar I bought to
you*
Impecunious Suitor (endeavoring
to make himself agreeable to Miss
Angela’s papa)—What a charming
place you have here, Mr. Oldman!
Does it go all the way to that grove
over there?
Unsympathetic Papa—It does.
I. S.—-Anti all the way to that
stone wall in the distance on the
hill?
U. P.—It does 1 And it goes all
the way to the creek on the south,
and all the way to the state road oa
the north; but, Mr. Youngman, it
does not go with my daughter An-
gela!
Are You Nervous?
What makes you nervous? It is the weakness of your
womanly constitution, which cannot stand the strain of the
hard work you do. As a result, you break down, and ruin
your entire nervous system. Don’t keep this up! Take
Cardui, the woman’s tonic. Cardui is made from purely
vegetable ingredients. It acts gently on the womanly organs,
and helps them to do their proper work. It relieves pain
and restores health, in a natural manner, by going to the
source of the trouble and building up the bodily strength.
CARDU I Woman’s Tonic
I
Mrs. Grace Fortner, of Man, W. Va., took Cardui.
This is what she says about it: “I was so weak and
nervous, I could not bear to have anyone near me. I had
fainting spells, and I lost flesh every day. The first dose
of Cardui helped me. Now, I am entirely cured of the
fainting spells, and I cannot say enough for Xardui, for I
| know it saved my life.” It is the best tonic for women.
Do you suffer from any of the pains peculiar to women?
Take Cardui. It will help you. Ask your druggist.
