GIVING HIM A TIP.
But the Boarder Had Mistaken Man He
Was Talking To.
When the new boarder went into
the dining-room and tat down there
was only one oilier person at the table.
The new boarder had a kind heart
and thought he would be affable.
“I s'pose you've boarded here for
some time?'' he said to the other mar.
“Yes.”
“Ilow is it?” Any good?”
“Yes, pretty fair. I have no com
plaint to make.”
“Landlady treat you decent?”
“Well, perhaps I ought to—” and
then he hesitated.
“Oh, never mind, old man,” said
the new boarder. “That’s all right.
I'm on. But say, mebbe you never
tried chucking her under the chin
once in awhile? That’s the way to get
on with ’em. I never had a landlady
that didn’t treat me Al yet. It’s all
in the wray you handle ’em. Call ’em
'sister’ and give ’em soft, sweet, cozy
talk about their looks. That’s the
way to fetch ’em. I’ll bet I can live
here for a month right now without

TOO SUCCESSFUL.
The Lesson an American Learned it
Paris About Advertising.
“Wanted—A young French wom
an to give lessons to an American gen
tleman. Apply Hotel -, ten
o'clock Friday.”
The foregoing advertisement, print
ed in a Paris paper, almost caused a
riot at the hotel at the hour named.
The American gentleman was G.
Webster Jones, of San Francisco
Mr. Jones lefborders that he would re
ceive applicants in a room at the ho
tel. and they might be admitted to the
corridor pending his arrival. When
he got there he found a line that
reached out into the street and ex
tended all the way to the Place Yen
dome. Five hundred dashing Parisian
women were clamoring for a sight oi
the “American gentleman.” They
were unanimously resolved to give
him lessons.
Jones was paralyzed at the sight,
and fled, leaving the hotel people to
get out of the scrape as best ■ they
might. The manager and clerks
argued in vain. The women would
not be pacified. They clamored for a
sight of the evasive American. The
police were called. The womeiuvere
put out, but more women kept com
ing all day. The hotel was under po
lice protection for 24 hours. Jones
fled to another hotel, a wiser, and per
haps a better man. He is now con
vinced that people read advertise
ments, hut he has retired from the
business.—Paris Messenger.
A SIMPLE RULE.
No Time Like the Right Tims for Do
ing Things.
If you have an appointment, at a
certain hour, to take a railroad train,
or to meet a friend, or to do a speci
fied work, there is no hour in the
world that will do as well as just that
hour for that specified thing. It will
not do to be only 12 hours later. Not
even six hours earlier will answer the
purpose. Neither a little before the
time, nor a little after, but the very
time named, is the only time to be
depended on. That is a truth to be
borne in mind in doing what we have
to do. or in meeting any special ap
pointment. In all right use of our
time, there is no time like the right
time. We cannot improve on what is
just right.—S. S. Times.
Don't Lend.
Some people are good friends till
they owe you, and then they get mad.

In That Critical Time When a Girl
Becomes a Woman.
Miss Bessie Kellog, President of th
Young Woman’s Club, of Valley Cit’
North Dakota, writes the followin'
from First street, South, Valley Cit;
North Dakota:
“ Ever since 1 matured l suffered wit
severe monthly pains. The doctor di
not seem to understand what th
trouble was and the medicine he prc
sunoca irom time to time aid not heI
me. He finally suggested that I hay
an operation. One of my friends wh
had been cured of a similar afflictio
through the use of Peruna, advised m
to give it a trial first, and so I used 1
for three weeks faithfully. My pain
diminished very soon and within tw
months i had none at all.
“ This is six months ago, and dui
ing that time I have not had an ach
nor pain. I give highest praise to Pe
runa. Every woman ought to use ii
and I feeI sure that it would bring pet
feet health. BESSIE KELLOQ.
The experience of Miss Bessie Ke

by every girl in the land. It is a crit

Is.
What concerns you
chiefly is what a medi

of to day feel that they
should know what sort
of drugs they are tak
ing. This you are
plainly told on every7
package of Yucatan
Chill Tonic. It is
neither a bitter nor a
sweet tonic. It is an
honest medicine and
made right. No shak
ing of the bottle re
quired. You get more
curative properties in
a dose of Yucatan than
in six doses of the so
called tasteless tonics.
All tasteless tonics are
unreliable as the dose
is uncertain and conse
quently more or less
dangerous, and sweet
Tonics or Medicines do
do not agree with the

Does.
Yucatan Chill Tonic
not only cures all Ma

Fever, Ague—but also
prevents them if taken
before the season for
these diseases begins.
One bottle has cured in
many cases when six
to eight bottles of
“tasteless” tonics have
been used without
effect. No other tonic or
medicine ever made will
so quickly7 and com
pletely drive out all of
the effects of malaria
after an attack as will
Yucatan Chill Tonic.
As a general tonic for
every member of the

the year it has no
