There is nothing more charming than a happy and healthy mother of children, and indeed child-birth under the right conditions need be no hazard to health or beauty. The unexplainable thing is that, with all the evidence of shattered serves and broken health resulting from aa unprepared condition, and witn am ple time in which to prepare, women will persist in going blindly to the trial Every woman at this time should rely upon Lydia E.

He stroked his black Vandyke with his long, lean white fingers, and he smiled a suave smile as Mrs. Waters, tying the money in a corner of her apron, pointed to the bundle of pants in the corner; then she moved the narrow washstand from in front of a door and Inserted a key in the lock. She threw open the door, closed it again and gave the key to Gilhert Blye. Gilbert Bl3*e slipped the key in his pocket and drew forth a tiny gold ' watch. Mrs. Waters, standing beside j him, saw in the lid the portrait of love ly June Warner. She looked up at the dark, handsome fellow and smiled sig- j nlflcantly and touched the ring finger of her left hand and nodded her head In keen self approbation. Then she patted the little wad which was knot ted In the corner of her apron. Gilbert Blye smiled his suave smile and went into the hall, where he telephoned to a vivacious brunette in her ornately dec orated rooms and then to a man with thick lidded eyes and a round head, on which the short hair bristled. In the office of Elizabeth Sawyer the tall, good looking man sat down, with j a smile. Neither he nor his wife no- , ticed or thought of the quiet little fig- j ure in the corner. "Well, Betty, what can I do for you?" asked Sawyer cordially. "Loan me some money, Harry." "I'd rather give it to you," he said. "I couldn't think of It." Mrs. Sawyer reached in her desk for a block of note blanks. "I shall need $5,000 if you can spare it." "Certainly." They both wrote at once, sitting side by side at the desk, he a check to his wife and she a thirty day note to her husband. "You will get in trouble once in awhile, won't you, Betty?" laughed the man. She looked at him reproachfully. 'Tou know why." "Yes." He nodded sympathetically and, patting the hand which lay on the edge of the desk, picked up the photo- i graph. "The babies. Betty, you're a ' wonder. What man's business could I stand such interruptions?" She smiled fondly at the photograph i and then at him, then from her desk j drew a small blank book.

The boy, a fine, hearty I little fellow, came stomping in and I grinned pleasantly at his father and ; mother, standing with his sturdy legs i ontstretched and his fists Jammed In his pockets. "What did the doctor say?" asked Mrs. Sawyer anxiously, and the father leaned forward to listen. "There's nothing the matter with | him," reported the nurse, with a toss j of her head and she glared vindictively jat the boy. She was a person with ! wispy hair, an upturned nose and small j gray eyes and thin lips, and the lips j had a sharp downward droop at the corners. "The doctor says it's temper." "Temperl" Mrs. Sawyer half raised in her seat, and her eyes flashed with indignation, but the father laughed. "That's a matter of training," he ob served. "Harry, come away from there, dear!" called the mother. "Aw, go on!" grinned the boy. "Harry!" The boy grinned engagingly. "Harry!" The nurse's voice. It rasped like a saw file, and every one, j even the quiet little figure over near | the window, winced. "Didn't you hear | your father and mother tell you to come away from there?" she scream- I ed. and the boy kicked at her. his face | turning scarlet, his lips pouting in an j ugly square, his brows lowering vi ciously. The curly haired little girl rose j out of the corner, where she had been I contentedly playing with a discarded typewriter ribbon, and, toddling over ! to the nurse, kicked at her with all , her small might; then, her duty per ! formed, she toddled back to her cor ner. "Mary," expostulated Mrs. Sawyer in distress, "you should not jerk the child that way. It only enrages him." "He won't mind any other way, Mrs. Sawyer," retorted the nurse, her eyes flashing angrily. "You never see the children or you'd know how bad they are!" "Betsy I" ■ • "Great Scott!"

In a certain State, a county official who had served several terms In office had given one surety com pany aa aurety for his flrst two terms) had then given personal surety ship for a term| and had followed this by corporate suretyship In another company for one or two terms. Then he was found to he a defaulter, and the SURETIES for all his past terms were called upon to MAKE GOOD to an aggregate total of some $185,000. In Illinois, In 1012, the Supreme Court affirmed a Judgment against the sureties on two bonds of the State Treasurer dated, respectively. In January, 187T, and January. 1881. (Peo ple v.

"When I was young." continued the South African millionaire, "I was so dosed with cold mutton and I hated it so cordially that 1 resolved to grow rich in order to put it on one side for the rest of my life. Yes. madam, cold mutton was at the root of my success. Noble sentiments had nothing to do with it." DRINKING WATER It is surprising how many people drink little or no water. There is no greater purifying agent than plenty of water internally. An abundance of it not only flushes the entire syßtem. but improves thp action of the skin; henre the complexion. Care should be taken that the water drunk is free from germs. If there is any doubt boil It. Do not confine yourself exclusively to either cold or hot water and do not take either at extreme temperatures.
