We never say anything that men don't like but we soon hear of it and everybody tells us about it. If, how­ ever, we happen to say a good thing we never bear ot that--nobody seems to notice it. We may pay some man a hun dred compliments and give him a dozen puffs, and he takes it as a tribute to his greatness--never thinks it does him any good.

It is the twenty-first verse of the seventh chapter of Ezra and reads: "And I, even I, Ar- taxerxes the King, do make a decree, to all the treasurers which are beyond the river, that whatsoever Ezra the priest, the scribe of the law of the God of heaven shall require of you, it be done speedily."

THE Richmond Gazette says: "The re­ mains of C. Fred Tryon were brought to Richmond last Saturday on the 10 o'clock train from Chicago, where be died Jan. 9, in one of the hospitals. The body was conveyed to the Tryon's Grove school house, where brief funeral services were held, conducted by Rev. E. J. Rose, pastor of the Richmond M. E. thurcb. Interment was at the Stewart cemetery, just west of tbe corners. The deceased was about 40 years of age and bad been a resident of this section nearly all his life. For a few years past he had made his home in Chicago, being employed at different times on the cable cars and ele­ vated road. Lately be has had no steady employment and had spent con­ siderable time at Woodstock with rela­ tives. He was sick but a few days, dur­ ing'which time he had tbe very best of care. PEOPLE who cannot refrain from recit­ ing some tale owoe when they go to visit a sick friend would best remain away. Fancy yourself lying ill in bed, and having some friend (?) call and tell you of somepne who died from an ail­ ment from which you are apparently suffering, or tell you of what caused tbe death of all his or her (we are sorry to say that it is very apt to be her) rela­ tives and friends died of, how they died, what their last words were, and a lot of other harrowing things. Do you imag­ ine it would make you feel encouraged? Certainly not. If you can't put on a cheerful demeanor, or do something to make a sick person feel cherful, bfr aU means never enter a sick room. v,'fv;, ON Wednesday evening of last week, Jan. 15, occurred the installation of officers of McHenry Chapter No. 222, Order of the Eastern Star, at which time the following officers were installed: Worthy Matron, Mrs. Barbara Van Slyke; Worth Patron, W.

Dr. Parkhurst has coined a new word, and its aptness and clever construction are quite likely to raa*e it famous. The eminent reformer's word is " Androma- ini»," and of it he says: \ "There is an element' in the feminine world that is suffering from what I shall 1 enture to call4 Andromania.' The word i J not an English one. for the reason, I cuppose, that the English language i aakers never supposed that we should i ieed such a term. It is constructed on 1 he same principle as the word ' Anglo- i nania,' which means a passionate aping of everything that is English. 'Andro- iaania' means similarly, a passionate I iping of everything that is mannish." Dr. Parkhurst makes his new word terveas the title for bis first article in he next issue of The Ladies' Home Journal, and uses it for a vigorous treat- neut of the type of women for whom he nvented it. , enjoyable manner.

Keep straight on in your course and let their backbiting die tbe death of neglect. What is the use qf lying awake nights brooding over the re­ marks of some false friend that ran through your brain. What's the use of getting into a worry and fretover gossip that has been set afloat to four disad­ vantage by some meddlesome fellow who has more time than character. These th'ngs cannot permanently injure you unless you take notice of them and give them character and standing. If what is said about you is true set yourself right at once If it is false let it go for what it will fetch. If a bee stings you would you go to the hive and destroy it? Would not a thousand come upon you? We are generally losers in the end if we stop to refute all the backbiting and «gossip-| ing we hear. They are annoying, it is- true, bnt not dangerous so long as we doJ not arato to expostulate and scold aboun them^|«t us always bear in mind that^ culfritn^ors may usually be trusted to the slow but steady ^ ?nion. • DO NOT WAIT. > *, I iu are troubled with constipation „ s, which are usually a result of this disorder, go at once to your druggist sndget. a 10 cent bottle of Dr. Caldwell's Syrup Pepsin.
