YOUNG AT SIXTY. Serene comfort and happiness in ad vanced years are realized by compara tively few women. Their hard lives, their liability to se rious troubles on account of their pecu liar organism and their profound igno rance concerning l themselves, all com bine to shorten the period of usefulness and fill their later years with suffering. Mrs. Pinkham hasdone much to make women strong. She has given advice to many that has shown them how to guard against disease and retain vigor ous health in old age. From every cor ner of the earth there is constantly com ing the most convinciug statements from women, showing the efficacy of Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Com pound in overcoming female ills. Here is a letter from Mrs. J. C. Orms, of 220 Horner St., Johnstown, Pa., which is earnest and straight to the point: " DEAR MRS. PINKHAM:—I feel it my duty to tell all suffering women that I think your remedies are wonderful. 1 had trouble with my head, dizzy spells and hot flashes. Feet and hands were cold, was very nervous, could not sleep well, had kidney trouble, pain in ovaries and congestion of the womb. Since taking your remedies I am better every way My head trouble is all gone, have no pain in ovaries, and am cured of womb trouble. I can eat and sleep well and am gaining in flesh. I consider your medicine the best to be had for female troubles." The present Mrs. Pinkham's experi ence in treating female ills is unparal lelled, for years she worked side by side with Mrs. Lydia E. Pinkham, and I for sometime past has had sole charge of the correspondence department of her great business, treating by letter as many ns a hundred thousand ailing women diirinc a single year.

Tho fallibility of human judgment is a deplorable reality; but the trend of one's j decisions is largely a matter of habit. That | habit, with many people, is either to be , lined up among the pillars of optimism, or I else to he enrolled in letters of red on the books of the opposing party. The cast iron finality with which most people settle every thing from moral complications to coffee grounds would make a United States chief justice turn pale with awe. There are kindly souls whose heart strings are so sweetly tuned that nothing can strike a harsh chord from them, but in this world they are like sweet dreams born of a stormy night—and their judg ment is not very valuable for the exacting business of life. Then there are people who appear to be put upon a solid steel frame work. Their mentality is razor-edged, and j their hearts are hard; but the best judges are those who draw one premise from the head and one from the heart for their con clusions. However, there is nothing that so affects the courage of one's opinions as that fickle and elastic word "circum stances." Of all the subjects variously shot at, there is probably not oue that could collect a S more variegated and elaborate set of opin ions expressed about itself, than "the so ciety girl." By many people she is inva riably put down as a flimsy combination of late hours, gauzy gowns and gossip. But to judg? her singly, and to put her down in the concrete under such a head, is about as just as to say that because one .Smith was a pirate, therefore lock up your silver when anybody by the name of Smith happens in. Tli# society girl is as various as the figures on a government salary list, and, like it, includes most every kind of combination. However, in appearance, she is but a slightly individualized variation of a eon- I ventional pattern, ami it is because of this that errors in judgment regarding her so often occur. Miss Thornby was a veritable butterfly (so every one said),) with a fortune at the command of her own capricious fancy. Judson had never seen her, but he had heard of her, for the humble cottage that treasured all he had in the world belonged to her. The usual Kindly light had long since died out of Judson's eyes, and the only sparkle that ever came from them glanced from a silent tear. The winter was not yet over, but the poor commissioners' funds were exhausted. There was no work to be had; no one to look to for help; and three tiny babies and an invalid wife to care for. One of the children had just opened the ! stove door and had put something in. Jud | son looked away from it to his wife. Their j eyes met in silent converse. It was tho last stick of wood and they were both j thinking of it. j "Xever mind, John," said his wife, in a j faint, broken voice. "Perhaps something will come to us before the day is over." j Suddenly he got up from his chair and ! left the house —leaving no word as to where he was going. He waa frenzied with grief, ; and, laboring under excessive energy of j strained emotion, walked briskly and fast. Finally reached his destination—the Thorn ! by home—a magnificent stone structure at j the sides of which the splendid lawn stretched away for hundreds of feet. Judson's frenzy hardened into anger as he realized the unjust fate that had made her an heiress, and him, the guardian of t so many tender, innocent dependents, a pauper! "It is useless," he said to himself despair- i inglv, "to ask help here, but it is my last chance." lie even thought the echo of his footsteps mocked him as he mounted to the door, and as he pressed the bell he ' wished that it might be the knell that would summon her and all like her to another world. < It was..nine o'clock- Miss Thornby l^md CAMERON COUNTY PRESS, THURSDAY, AUGUST n, 1898 just finisr.cn arrnsir.f? for the Nlll when maid rapped at her door and said: "There s a workingtnan down in the hall ' ' that insists on seeing you, and (Ays he won't j 1 go away till he does." I "What in the world oan he want of me?" said she, and then added: "Well, if he j won't go away take him into the library i and I'll be there in a moment." Boon she came fluttering in, in a cloud I of tulle and ablaze with diamonds. Judson bad never seen such a vision arid he hated her more than ever. He wanted to strangle her and to wrench off her jewels to sell for bread to feed his starving family. He stood j near the door, with his cap in his hand, < and was looking half doggedly out from his j half bowed head when Miss Thornby I crossed to where he stood and said with the : airiest good nature: "Did you wish to ace me, sir?" Her tone confused him. Somehow he had ' expected to be ill treated, if not ordered j ! out. Collecting himself he said tremblingly: ■ ] "Yes, miss, I came to nsk if you would let jus stay a little longer in your house. I I am out of work and cannot pay the rent, J and your agent is going to turn us into the street to-morrow." | "My agent is going to put you out of I your house?" said she, excitedly. 1 "Out of your house,"he corrected. ! "Why, how perfectly horrible," she ex- j I claimed in amnzemeut. Judson caught et a ray of hope in her ! sympathetic manner and urged on by it he went on rapidly: "If you'll only let me stay in a little longer mebbe I can get work soon, and then, | miss, I'll pay you as fast as I can. It's hard enough to starve —" "To starve!" she echoed, dropping her hands and staring at the man, as though ; straining her mind to conceive the idea. "Yes, miss," said Judson, in a low, reae- I lute voice. "My wife, and the children and mc—we are starving." Miss Thornby looked at him with unac customed but sincere distress. Suddenly she crossed the room to the writing desk. "Here," said she, handing him a leaf from a check book, "I hope this will help you out. lam very sorry that it happened. I I didn't know that 1 had an agent who would be so cruel. I am very sorry for you." Judson was overwhelmed with grateful surprise. He did riot know how the check read, but he knew by Miss Thornby's gen erous manner that it was enough to help him out of his trouble. Miss Thornby was scarcely conscious of having conferred a favor, the effort had been so slight, until she saw the man's trembling hand as he took the paper from her, and listened to his tearful voice as he thanked her again and again. Judson went hurriedly down the street in the effort to reach the tirst electric light. There he stopped to read the number on the check. He read it once, and then looked closely and carefully at it again. His heart gave a sudden bound. There was no mistake—it read "one hundred dollars." Judson's angry thoughts of a few mo ments before flashed over him anil struck him to the heart. His eyes filled with tears. "God bless her," said he prayerfully; "she t has saved me from something worse than death —" and so she had, for Judson had made up his mind not to let his little ones live to suffer starvation. —Maxine Wray burn, in Detroit Free Press.
