Health
About
Gone
Many thousands M
women suffering from
womanly trouble, have
been benefited bythejise
of Cardui, the woman’s
tonic, according to letters
we receive, similar to this
one from Mrs. Z. V. Spell,
ofHayne, N.C. “1 could
not stand on my feet, and
just suffered terribly,”
she says. "As my suf
fering was so great, and
he had tried other reme
dies, Dr. - had us
get Cardui. . * I began
improving, and It cured
me. I know, and my
doctor knows, what Car
dui did for me, for my
nerves and health were
about gone.”
TAKE
The Woman’s Tonic
She writes further: 4,I
am in splendid health . . .
can do my work. I feel I
owe it to Cardui, for I was
In dreadful condition.”
If you are nervous, run
down and weak, or suffer
from headache, backache,
etc., every month, try
Cardui. Thousands of
women praise this medi
cine for the good it has
done them, and many
physicians who have used
Cardui successfully with
their women patients, for
years, endorse this medi
cine. Think what it mean*
to be in splendid health,
like Mrs. Spell. Give
Cardui a trial.

How Humorists Were “Stung"’ in
Business Venture.
Anecdote James Whitcomb Riley Used
to Tell, Dealing With the Wiles
of the Publisher—All They
Got Was a Feed.
Among tfie many comical stories
toh! of James Whitcomb Utley's expe
riences with Nye was the history of a
book called “Nye and Utley’s Hallway
Guide,' which gave them a broad per
sonal and legal experience with pub
lishers. From their first tour in 188Q
their fancy ran riot with the idea of
a comic railway guide for just such
poor, ill-fated travelers a* they them
selves proved to be, for the man. os
they wrote in the introduction, “who
imu h car wmcn is
sidetracked und swept out and
scrubbed by people who take In cars
to scrub and laundry.”
“>>'ye and I,” Riley used to say,
"thought a little book made from our
readings might perhaps stanch a long
felt public want. In fact, we grew en
thusiastic as our eyes swept the pros
pect. Nye, Indeed, thought there was
money In It. I remember that, in* his
optimism, he wrote: ‘Let us make
some money, be gosh, and put it in our
inside pocket. It feels bully.’ Riley
always chuckled reminiscently at this
point in the story.
“Well, we went to Chicago to look
for a publisher, and there we found
one Ketchem & Skinnem who had a
sign on the door, ‘Drop MSS. Here.’
We dropped ours and went away feel
ing pretty good.”
Riley then told of a long wait, dur
ing which they wondered whether the
manuscript would be accepted; then
how glad they were to find the book
on sale at the news stands, and finally
how they paid a visit to the publishers
to inquire timidly into the matter of
royalties. The door was locked. Some
months Inter, in response to their let
ters, came an invitation to a banquet
given by the publishers in their honor.
Hopefully they presented themselves.
“As we filed in to dinner Nye whis
pered to me, ‘Think they’ll hand us
checks with the cigars?’ Well, when
the cigars were passed at length t he
publisher at the head of the table
pushed back his chair, put his finger
tips on the cloth, beamed on us, and
said:
“ ‘Gentlemen and publishers, we
have met to do honor to our two illus
trious humorists tonight in an un
usual way. We appreciate their hu
mor, especially that which has made
our book so successful. And in token
of our appreciation we now present to
them one hundred shares apiece In
our great company. Ahem—I believe
that is all!’
"It was all. Nye and I hoped at
first for the best, but neither of us
secretly could find any market for our
shares and the company never paid
any dividends before it went out of
business.”—Harper’s Magazine.
His Fortunate Investment.
Sosthene Galiais, former wholesale
oyster and ice cream dealer, who en
tered Into business In St. Louis ns a
scissors grinder, and who accumulated
a fortune estimated by Ills family at
$3,000,006, through Investment, several
years ago, of $30,000 in Oklahoma land,
on which oil later was found, died re
cently at his home In Tulsa, Okla.
Galiais’ rise to riches Is one of the
most interesting of the many oil ro
mances in Oklahoma. His original in
vestment hail lain dormant for years
and he did not know that oil had been
discovered on his land until he received
his first royalty. Since then Ids wealth
had increased by leaps and bounds
until it enabled him to become the
largest individual property owner in
Tulsa, caused him to erect a 10-story
office building there as a monument to
the city near which he found his
wealth and carried him into affluence.
The Kaiserin's Baggage.
The kaiserin seems to have been
more fortunate than some queens in
the matter of luggage in her flight to
Holland, since her luggage, though de
scribed ns rather shabby, was appar
ently plentiful. As a rule escaping
queens have been badly provided.
When Charles X and his entourage
were turned out of France one who
went down to see them remarked
that they had nothing in the way of
“furnishings.” though they had
money. Louis Philippe and his queen
crossing yie channel ns Mr. and Mrs.
Smith, were ill-provided, and there is
the case of the ex-Empress Eugenie,
whose message to a friend when she
reached England was “Come to me;
1 have nothing—not even a handker
chief I"
Decay of Mourning Wear.
Nothing is more remarkable in our
social life ut this time than the rar
ity of conventional mourning, says
London Dally Chronicle. There are
millions of bereaved people in these
islands, yet It is uncommon to en
counter anybody who wears the
“trappings and the suits of woe.” We
have found a juster way of showing
respect for the dead than by chang
ing the hue of our clothes. Only at
the two extremes, east and west, will
you now discover a woman wearing
widow’s “weeds.”
Crowns to the Discard.
Dentist—What seems to be the trou
ble today? Your face Is all swollen.
Patient—Why some of my teeth have
started a revolt and have picked on
the crown you put on my back tooth.
