I " r1111 The greatest protection for women is Dr. David Kennedy’s Favorite Remedy. No woman can be weak very long after she takes it. when the FAVORITE REMEDY attacks it. , There is no female weakness or irregularity which it will not relieve and cure. peculiar to women which it will not drive away. Mrs. D. Ackerly, 262 Varick St. ,Jersey City, says: “Oh, how I wishI speak personally with every woman who 15 in anyway troubled with illness ’ ' common to our sex, for I would advise them to use at once Dr. David Kennedy’s Favorite Remedy and be cured, for my case was abandoned by the physicians.” Disease must yield There is no pain or ache Icould At all Drug Stores. #1. 00 A BOTTLE. ‘1 "1‘ "’ Disdfiminatlng Man. “It is capable of proof,” he said in his egotistic way, “that man is much more discriminating than woman.” "I would be glad to have you prove it,” she returned," coldly. ‘ “With pleasure,” he replied. “Wo- man will kiss men, women and babies, while man, with finer sense of discrim- ination, bars the men and the babies.” ~Ghicago Post.

A rhougnm‘n'fiime Girl. All Boston children are thoughtful.- It was a dear, thoughtful little Boston girl who, when. told by her mother 'of the death of a grandmother she great- ly loved, sat silent a while, and then, looking up, said: “Mamma, what time did grandma die?” “At 4 o’clock in the afternoon, the answer. Again the little girl lapsed into mournful silence, until, as though a ray .of sunshine had broken through the gloomy cloud, she d-evoutly ex- claimed: “Then I’m so thankful ‘she had dinner first!”—Bufialo Commer- cial. n \Y 21 S , Skates With Bone Runners.

Then the coflin is shot off the bamboo erection on to the funeral pyre, and as the red sun sinks the whole thing is set alight. A Diplomatic Reply. A certain Prince was one day loitei ing on the banks of the Isar, in the. English garden at Munich, by the side of a beautiful woman, the object of his admiring devotion. While speaking tr her of his mother, for whom he had ever shown the strongest filial love, the lady suddenly said to him, ‘Princ'e if your mother and myself should both fall into this river, which one woulc you save first?’ ‘My mother,’ he in- stantly replied. ‘To save you first would be as if I were to save myseli first!” .
