Don’t Neglect It It is a serious mistake to neglect a weak heart. It is such a short step to chronic heart s disease. When you notice irregularity of action, occasioning short breath, palpitation, fluttering, pain in chest or difficulty in lying on left side, your heart needs help—a strengthening tonic. There is no bet- : ter remedy than Dr. Miles’ Heart Cure. Its strengthening influence is felt almost at once. “I have used Id bottles of Dr. Miles' Heart Cure and can truthfully say It has done me more good than anything I have ever used, and I have tried nearly everything that I know of. The doctor who attended me asked me what I was taking and I told him Dr. Miles Heart Cure, he said it was not going to do me any good, but it did. I have not taken any for a year now, and while there Is occasionally a slight symptom of the old trouble, it is not enough for me to continue the use of the medicine. If I should get worse I would know what to do. Take Dr. Miles’ Heart Cure as I did before. I consider myself practically cured of my beart trouble. S. H. DUNNAM, Livingston, Texas. Dr. Mites' Heart Cure Is sold by your druggist, who will guarantee that the first bottle will benefit. If it falls he will refund your money. Miles Medical Co., Elkhart, Ind

Weak Women To weak and ailing women, there Is at least one Way to help. But with that wav, two treatments, must be combined. One is local, one is constitutional, but both are important, both essential. Dr. Shoop's Night Cure is the Local. Dr. Shoop’s Restorative, the Constitutional. The former—Dr. Shoop’s Night Cure—is a topical mucous membrane suppository remedy, while Dr. Shoop's Restorative is wholly an internal treatment. The Restorative reaches throughout ths entire system, seeking the repair of all nerve. All tissue, and all blood ailments. The “Night Cure”, as its name implies, does its work while you sleep. It soothes sore and inflamed mucous surfaces, heals local weaknesses and discharges, while the Restorative, eases nervous excitement, gives renewed vigor and ambition, builds up wasted tissues, bringing about renewed jtrength. vigor, and energy. Take Dr. Shoop’s Restorative—Tablets or Liquid—as a general tonic to the system. For positive local help, use as well * Dr. Shoop’s Night Cure A. F. LONG.

Nordine’s-Nurse

...By... Marshall Cromwell.

Helen Puget started through the open .door of the stateroom with Increasing wonder. The single occupant of the apartment lay with bis head back against the cushions, his face twisted into the most horrible grimaces. Occasionally be would move bis head weakly from side to side, only to return again to his facial contortions. At last she could stand it no longer, and, leaving her section, she crossed to the door of the stateroom. If the man was subject to such attacks his nurse should uot have left him alone, yet she had seen the attendant slip forward to where she knew the case caf to be. “Can I be of any service?” sbe called as she stood uncertainly in the doorway, The man looked up, with a wan smile.

“Please don’t laugh,” he said as she approached, ‘‘but there Is a fly on my nose, and I’ve been trying for the last ten minutes to dislodge it. I can’t use my hands, you see,” with a glance at his bandaged arms, “and I can’t wrinkle my nose enough to scare him off.” Gravely Helen drove off the offending Insect with the absurd little square of cambric that sbe called a handkerchief, and the man smiled gratefully into Her sympathetic eyes. “It must seem absurd,” he said, “but that fly was driving me crazy. I told my nurse that he could go forward an& have a suioke If he wanted to. I am just recovering from an accident,” “I thought you were having—a—fit,” she explained, with a delicious littl4 laugh. “I have the sectlou Just outside of the door, and I sat and watched you until I became afraid that something serious might happen.” “I should have been a gibbering Idiot In another minute,” he declared. “I never felt so helpless In my life.” "I can understand,” she said sympathetically. “It must be awful to be so helpless.” ”1 am very much obliged to you," he said warmly. “It was very good of you to come to my relief.” “l am glad to have been of service,” she said simply. “I 6hall keep an eye on you. If you need anything before your attendant gets back. Just call me.” She went back to her section and took up ber book again, but her thoughts were not on the printed page. She was thinking of the man in the stateroom. He was a man to appeal to women; a strong, mqnly fellow with

frank eyes and an honest mouth. His very suggestion of strength seemed to render his helplessness the more pitiful. The nurse seemed au inexcusable time returning, and once or twice she went to the door to ask if there was anything that she might do. The second time he asked that she seud forward for and she summoned the porter. - That functionary presently returned with a doleful face. “Ah doan’ fin’ him,” he reported. “He ain’t in the case car.” Nordine asked that search be continued, but at the next stop the mystery was solved. The nurse had been left behind at the last station when he stepped out for a breath of air. He wired that he would follow on the next train. Nordine looked dismayed. “I guess I shall have to wire ahead .for a nurse,” he said. “Titus won’t catch up with me until we reach Chicago, and in the meantime I shall be helpless.” “Will It delay your trip seriously?” asked Helen, noting the look of disappointment that came to his face. “My sister is to be married tomorrow night,” he explained. “Unless I can get a nurse by wire I shall not get there In time. I am In no shape to make train changes alone.” ( Helen picked up the message that the porter had written and glanced at It “Are you Albert Nordine?” she asked. The man nodded. “I am Helen Paget" She explained. “I am to be yonr sister’s maid of honor. I came from - London, and the l»at was late. I was afraid that I should not be able to get there In time.

Why can't I be your none, Mr, Nor* dine? Hie porter will help. It will be better than getting some unknown' person, even If you are able to arrange the matter by wire.” ' Nordlne looked at her gratefully. “I wish you could see how much like an angel from heaven yon look to me,” he said earnestly. Helen glanced In the mirror and ianghed. “I hope I’m not growing wings,” she said. “It would entirely spoil the fit of my dress, and Bertha and I should both be disconsolate. I think I’d rather be Just a plain mortal.” ‘"You could not be a plain mortal,” he said with an emphasis on the adjective as he glanced into the pretty face. She colored at the compliment and assumed a professional air to cover her embarrassment. “You must not flirt with your nurse,” she ordered. She sank into the seat beside him that he might not see the pity In her eyes. She, knew now the reason for the bandages, for she had read the story of how be had rescued a tiny nephew from the blazing summer home on the Hudson. To Nordlne the world had suddenly grown bright again. He was not able to read and he had been utterly miserable in the solitude *f the stateroom, shut off from his fellow travelers In thd Pullman. Now, with Helen to talk to, he even forgot the smart of his wounds. He was a capital talker, and lon 'icfore the call for dinner came they were fast friends. \ He had the meal brought Into the stateroom and she fed him with pretty solicitude for his comfort. He wondered If such meals of nectar and ambrosia were ever served upon Olympus, and he was sorry when the waiter at last came to take the tray. He was still more regretful when the porter came to put him to bed, byt sleep came quickly to his contented mind, and In his dreams Helen was with him again. She came to him In the morning as soon as the stateroom had been made up, and the day passed all too rapidly. He was sorry when at last the long strings of freight cars announced their approach to Chicago, and she left him to get her things together. His brother-in-law to be met him at one of the suburban stations and rode into the city with them. With bis help the transfer to a carriage was easily accomplished. His sister was delighted at the story they told, and that evening as she stood In her bridal finery she whispered to Helen her wish that the girl would be the next of their acquaintances to wear the veil and orange blossoms. Helen blushed and declared the Impossibility of such an occurrence, but later In the evening as she stood on the steps watching the departure of the bridal pair Nordlne came up to her. “You’ll have to throw my Share of the rice, t8o,” be said, with a smile. “Do you suppose, Nell, that some day you could learn to care so much for me that we can drive off together with the rice and the old shoes and the good wishes following in our wake?” “Perhaps I might learn,” she said as her eyes were veiled behind the long lashes to hide how much she already cared. “I think I had my first lesson on the train.” Other guests came near them, and she made a gesture of warning. “Do you know,” he said, trying to make his tones careless, “I am going to give Titus doubje pay because he got lost.” “I think he deserved it,” she agreed, with a smile so illuminating Nordine could scarcely refrain from kissing her in the presence of them all, for in the soft brown eyes he read the message and knew that Nell had already learned. •

Vanished Animals.

In the latter part of the mesozolc age there was a great inland ocean, spreading over a large part of the present continent. The lands then above water were covered with a flora peculiar to the times and were Inhabited by some of the animals which later distinguished the cenozoic age. In the seas were reptiles, fishes and turtles of gigantic proportions, armed for offense or defense. There were also oysterlike bivalves, with enormous shells, three or four feet in diameter, the meat of which would have fed many people. In time this great ocean, swarming with vigorous life, disappeared. Mountain ranges and plains gradually arose, casting forth the waters and leaving the monsters to die and bleach in tertiary suns. As the waters remaining divided into smaller tracts they gradually' lost their saline stability. The stronger monsters gorged on the weaker tribes until they, too, stranded on rising sand bars, lost vitality and perished as the waters freshened. In imagination we can picture the strongest, bereft of their food supply, at last floundering in the shallow pools nntil all remaining mired or starved.

Looking After Number One.

The seedy actor shuffled his feet and looked into his hat apologetically. He laughed conscientiously at the joke the manager made, but it was a hollow laugh. In fact Mr. Perkins, otherwise Claude Cremorne, juvenile lead, felt hollow generally, particularly in the part which Bhould have contained his dinner. “A sovereign on account of my salary would be of Inestimable service, to me just now,” he murmured to the •manager. “You can deduct It at the end of the week, you know.” “Ah, yes, dear old darling fellow,” said the manager beulgnantly, “that’s all very well, don’t you know. But the difficulty comes In berA Most likely I shan’t be able to pay any salaries at all at the end of the week, and if I give you a sovereign now whore should I be then? No, be sensible, dear boy.” —London Answers. >

SCHOOL DAYS.

It’» lonesome ia the stable-yard and where the chlckena “peep,” It’a dull end etupld 'round thehouee.the kittens fast asleep; Old Towser, noelu* everywhere end huntin' 'round the place, Comes back to Whine and paw my knee and look up in my face: And mother. lu the kitshen there, amongst the pen* and thing*, Is busy, but I haven’t heard the song she always sing*; There’* something minin', somethin' wrong, that *pil*a the work and play— And don’t I know it? Well, I guest! He’s gone to school today! I try to work and not to think, but, tryln' all I can, I stop, and wonder why it’s still-no drummin' on the pan, Mo rustlin’ ip the apple tree, no splashln’ by the pump. And no one hid behind the post to “Boo!” and make me jump. ' And in the house its all so prim—no scattered book or blook, Mo laugh or shout, no nothin’ but the tickin’ 1 of the clock. > I look at ma and she at me; no need for us to say What alls us both; we know too well—he’s gone to school today. He startad out at half past eight, all rigged up in his best, And with tbe slate beneath his arm, the booki and all the rest; And mother fixed his tie once more, and did her best to smile, And I stood by and praised him up and laughed about his “style,” But when he marched off down theroad, and stopped to wave good-bp, ‘Twas kind of chocky in my throat and misty in my eve. Proud of him? Well. I rather guess! and happy, too, but say! It's mighty lonesome round the place—he's gone to school today. But 'tisn’t the lonesomeness alone that ails us, don’t you know; It isn't jest because he's gone till four o'clock or so; It’s like the little worsted socks that's in '.the bureau there, It’s like the little dreeses, too, that once he used to wear. The thought that somethin’s past and gone, outgrown and put away— That brings to mother’s heart and mine the bitter-eweet today; It’s jest another forward step In Time's unchangin’ rule— Our baby's left us now for good; our boy has gone to school. —Saturday Evening Post.

ON A STREET CAR.

Stout Woman Who Tried the Patience _ of » Conductor. • ■ The stout woman signaled the conductor, and the conductor signaled the tnotorman, and the car came to a stop. “What street Is this?" the stout woman called. * “It’s the street where you get off, Isn’t it ma’am?” “It looks something like it. Is that t new house on the corner?” “I’ll have a copy of the building permit ready for you the next time you drop around, ma’am.” “I don’t feel quite sure about the street,” said the stout lady. ‘‘Step lively, please, ma'am.” “Eh! I haven’t any lively steps. Do yon take me for a ballet dancer?” “Not at your age, ma’am.” “What do you mean by that?” “I mean that you are not old enough for a ballet dancer, ma’am. Will you step lively, please?” The stout lady balanced herself on the running board. “I want to get off the right way,” she said, “The quickest way is the right way, ma’am.” , • “Don’t you dare to start the car before I’m off.” “Certainly not, ma’am. We’ll cheerfully wait all night if it's necessary.” “You face to the front, don’t you?” “Yes, sna'am. But you can face both ways if you like.” “Then you let yourself down with your left hand, don’t you?” “Yes, ma’am." The motor man looked around. “Wake me up, Charlie, when the ark is unloaded,” he called back to the conductor. “Tell that man to look the other way,” cried the stout woman. Then she lowered herself carefully to the ground, and the conductor seized the bell rope. “Mercy, this isn’t the right street, after all!” the stout lady cried and nimbly clambered aboard again. Then the conductor broke the rope with the yank he gave It.—Cleveland Flain Dealer.

Where Ignorance Is Bliss.

An old German farmer who resided in one of the rural districts of the state of lowa was the father of a half witted boy whose lack of intellect was tiie cause of ho little anxiety and solicitude on the part of his paternal parent. “Dot poy Shou,” he was heard to remark In the course of a conversation with a neighbor of like Teutonic, origin, “he iss not ferry bright, aber I _ton’t vant you to tell him, because I ton’t vant him to know it.” Meantime the young hopeful was driving through the barnyard w’ith a load of hay. which, In attempting to turn a sharp corner, he unfortunately upset The old man immediately became highly indignant. “Shon,” he bellowed in a voice of thunder, “you iss a plame fool, you always vass a fool, you always, vlll pe a fool,. you not know nodding^.”—Judge’s Library.
