We want It as llttlo children when we stub our toes or fall In a reci tation. We yearn for It as life grows fuller and sweeter, and blest, Indeed, are wo when It comes to us like a dove of peace and nestles In our hearts at our own hcnrthsldes. Woful Is It when we fall to recognize Us soft beauty and go nbroad to seek It, some times amid the birds of prey In a piti less world. We like approbation, we long for praise, we want others to re joice with us that do rejoice and to weep with us when we weep particu larly to weep. They are usually ready to do It It wo tell enough of our heart secrets to mnke the story Interesting. It Is odd this Inherent desire we ntl RJive for sympathy with our wrongs. If we reel ourselves snubbed or slighted we have a strong Impulse to confide In somebody nnd enlist Interest In our woes. If we weakly yield to that Im pulse and rush out to get relief we are nearly certain to regret It. Of course, our friends listen to our tale and express tho most Intense sympa thy nnd we go away feeling that our Injuries wore greater even than wo supposed, but the next day we wish we hadn't done It. We feel humiliated at the rememnrance of all our confi dences and wonder after all If wo hadn't exaggerated our grievances. We know Just what they said after we left. "Poor thing! It was shabby of Mrs. So und So, but really Annlo makes too much of It" and then they will laugh a little and each ono will remember to tell other friends, who will ulso laugh a little, and the result Is that h'lf the town knows that wo havo been snubbed or slighted or In jured. Of course, It means a loss of dignity nnd, whether we know It or not, a loss, slight though It may be. In tho opinion held by our friends of our serene mental poise am! self con trol. It would be such a good thing If Immediately following a slight or nn Injury to our self esteem, whether fancied or otherwise, a blizzard should come along to keep us homo or a visi tation of speechlessness mould allllct us for a few hours until tho yearning to confide our woes to somebody has waned In me sunlight of sweeter thoughts or of actual blessings. Of course, there Is always Oie tele phone. Some of us are so exposed In our sensitiveness as to our feelings that unless positively dumb we would rush to call ut some friend and confide to her, and to the miles of listening ears that may hang along the line all the tragic story of being slighted b'y Mrs. A. or Ignored by Mrs. B. This Is tho time when the exchange girl could beforglven for not answering the slg nal. For there are always sympathetic friends, dear me, yes! If it were not for tho sympathetic friends there would be a falling off In the divorce lists, and a vast number of neighborhood and domestic quarrels would never be quar reled. If it were not for sympathetic friends there would be many move life long sweet nnd beautiful friendships, more lovely church fellowship, more sincere faith in the world. Half the domestic, difficulties which culminate In nn open break Is tho re sult of sympathetic friends and their active or tacit encouragement. It Is the most natural thing In the world to feel a throb of sympathy for the ftlend who comes to us and confesses the fancied or real distress, tho coldness, the deprivation or tho unkindncss she may bo obliged to undergo at home. Too often we may speak tho unguard ed woid which will enkindle the smold ering llaine of discontent and start a train of lire that will end' In a general contlagration Involving the happiness of many Innocent persons. Too often we do not counsel moderation, forbear ance and patience. It Is so easy to say' "Poor dear! I just wouldn't endure It another day. You're a dunce to bo so meek'," It Is so natural to say to tho friend who flatters us with her con fidence regarding a slight recently re ceived: "You're perfectly tight In re senting it. Don't you allow people to tread on you, etc., etc," when if wo had held our peace the vaguo little misunderstanding might havo adjusted Itself and two people eminently fitted to be companionable and friendly would not feel mutual bitterness for each oth er because of repeated remarks made by "sympathetic" friends. I know of a family todiy that is ut terly disrupted because of such Inter ference. The husband was a hand some, popular man who had a big bump of approb'.itiven".s n:id craved the kindly feeling md rogjrd of all whom he met. Ho would H'o far out of his way to do a favor lit tin acquaint ance, was genial and friendly, but above all loved his homo and delighted In the comforts there afforded his wife nnd little child. The best of his con sideration, his good humor, his sun shiny temperament went Into that home life. But perhaps the wife wai not too appreciative of her blessing In having a husband of clean morals exceptionally good habits, fine mentat abilities and domestic tastes. He was a very fastidious man and perhaps at times allowed these traits to nppear rather more prominent than they nerd, he wns jolly nnd companionable with his friends, nnd it may be thct his more reserved and silent mate felt some times Irritated thereby. How-py-r that might be. In nn evil mo- iwmmmmmmmmwmmmmwwmwmmmt "cA Perfect Food" "Preserves Health "ProhnnsLife" BAKER'S i BREAKFAST! COCOA "Known the world over. . . .

Discovered and First Prescribed PAINE'S CELERY COMPOUND Prof. Phelps was born in Connecticut and graduated in medicine at Yale. His unusual talent soon brought him reputation and prominence among his professional brethren. First he was elected to the professor of anatomy and surgery in the Vermont University. Next he was appointed lecturer materia medica and medical botany in Dartmouth College. The next year he was chosen professor of the chair then vacated by Prof. Robby, and occupied the chair, the most important one in the country, at the time when he first formulated his most remarkable prescription. Prof. Phelps has gven to his profession in Paine's Celery Compound a positive cure for sleeplessness, wasting strength, dyspepsia, biliousness, liver complaint, neuralgia, rheuma tism, all nervous diseases and kidney troubles. It is the only specific recognized and pre scribed today by the best physicians for diseases arising from a debilitated nervous system. For such complaints Paine's Celery Compound succeeds again and again where everything else fails. No remedy was ever so highly recommended. Read our testimonials, because no other remedy ever accomplished so much. Paine's Celery Compound sustains vitality, keeps the body healthy and free from nervous exhaustion and pain. meat she conlidod a faintly bitter feel ing she treasured In her heart, to a most Indiscreet filend far below h2r In tho social scale. This person fanned the little spark of resentment that un assisted would have died of Itself In tho glow of her husband's merry loving smile. It became "the llttlo rift within tho lute," and too surely, too swiftly the by and by came that made all tho music mute. She would never have really cher ished a low thought In connection with his character had not the Injudicious friend suggested that he was entirely too pleasant to all tho young women of his acquaintance. It would never have occurred to her to complain of neglect or of being deprived of any desired pleasure hud not this same friend tilled her mind with the wretched Imaginings. The result was what might have been expected, Nag ging, suspicion, sulking, furious accu sations llnally wrought their work, and the husband became a changed man, as tho gentle, foolish little wife had become a harsh, forbidding, quar relsome woman. He grew to spend as little tlmo nt home as possible. Ills only pleasure seemed to bo in the com panionship of the little child who cluns to him, although that, too, had boon Inllucnced ngalnst his advances. Ho was too strong to do as many a man has done, turn to dissipation nnd viva to deaden the disappointment of a wrecked life, but he lost nil lovo for the wife who had been most dear lo him. There is no law which goes hand In hand with the marriage service to compel two people to love each other when nothing lovable lonvilns to draw forth that love. Too of tor. men and women presume on the force of the ceremony to hold affection which they are too negligent to guard. All this time tho friend, with others of her kind, had been Inciting the wife to continue her wearisome tactics, to at tempt to drive her husband to sub mission nnd to the acknowledgement of his mlst.'il:es. 1'rged on by their witless advice who had spread broadcast over the town the story of her wrongs. Of course, bIio found ready sympathizers. For many people listen with avidity to anything In the way of .domestic scandal, and sustained by their applause Hhe con tinued her maddening course. The open rupture came. There was a sep aration. Then tho fair weather friends began to look slightly alurmed. The easy going husband became a bitter Implacable man, seemingly caring for nothing but to bo free from the ex perience of the two years Just past. Then when the wife would havo called him back he had gone beyond the sound of her voice nnd she realized that noth ing could over be the satno again. The pretty home was broken up, and with Phelps, EVB. East Mountain Lithia Water Sold by All First-CItws Druggists. Highly Recom mended by Phys.cltms. FAMILY ORDERS PROMPTLY FILLED. JOSEPH ROSS.

Mie was proviuid tor as itncraav as the husband's circumstances permitted, but she has dlscoveud that little sym pathy Is now felt for her' In tho ! anomalous situation In which she tlnds herself, She realizes as the days go by all that sho threw away for the miserable mess of pottage In the en couragement of a few silly women who had nothing bettor to do than to bring discontentment into a happy horn '. Most of all she realizes the awful void which used to bo filled by a sunn presence, in her life by the constant thought and care, tho little attentions, tho llttlo tender, merry ways that used to nuiko up so much of her world und which now she so cruelly misses. Now sho has not even the poor comfort of the sympathizing friends, for they re gard her with marked coolness. What u fate! t.et us carry our sunshine Into tho world, let us tell of our happiness until 1 our friends grow weary of tho story. Let us cross over tho threshold with the smiles which yet linger on our lips from the loving communion at the home hoarthslde, but It tlui have been frowns for the dear ones or hasty words, or bitter thoughts, or memories of recriminations that never liould have been, lot us not boar them hence to our neighbors' door or to the eyes or the ears of "sympathizing friends."
