Sometimes the proofreader nods, and in this connection the late Lord Goschen told at a public dinner a story of a reader who worked for his (Lord Goscben'si grandfather and who, in answer to a denunciation from his cm ployer, cried: "Let some other man work at cor rectness of typography. I despair. My own thoughts often hinder me as they seize and hold the authors otherwise than they ought to do. It is quite pos sible that niggling about words and syllables may often go to the wall when my sold cannot tear itself loose from some thought or picture. Errors have been found in sheets which thought I had worked backward and forward with the greatest particular ity. I read always as it should be." It is when a reader Is in this soulful condition that the general public are permitted to read, as they did once in a morning paper not given to humor, that a celebrated politician, in a speech, described some one as "sittipg at the feet of the game bird of Bir mingham," instead of "Gamaliel." In the same journal, too. the following staTftling" announcement" appeared un der the heading of "Births:" NICHOLSON.-On the 12th Inst., at Bel- ton road, Sidcup, the son of Alfred Nich olson, of a daughter.

Women troubled with fainting spells, irregularities, nervous irrita bility, backache, the "blues," and those dreadful dragging sensations, cannot hope to be happy or popular, and advancement in either home, business or social life is impossible. The cause of these troubles, how ever, yields quickly to Lydia E. Pink ham's Vegetable Compound made from native roots and herbs It acts at once upon the organ afflicted and the nerve centers, dispelling effec tual! v all those distressing symp toms. No other medicine in the country has received such unqualified indorsement or has such a record of cures of female ills as has L dia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound Miss Emma Runtzler, of 631 State St., Schenectady, N. Y., writes: '"For a long time I was troubled with a weakness which seemed to drain all my strength away. I had dull headaches, was nervous, irritable, and all worn out. Chancing to read one of vour advertisements of a case similar to mine cured by Lydia E. Pmkham's Vegetable Compound, I decided to try it and I cannot express my gratitude for the benefit received. I am entirely well and feel like a new person." Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound is the most successful remedy for all forms of Female Complaints, Weak Back, Falling and n!Bnlftiomfinfo.

Gambling In Church. The mania for gambling will out, no matter how carefully hedged about by the law. Here is an illustration: "It took a conversation I overheard at the close of the church service last Sunday night to bring me to a realisa tion of the virulence of the betting fever," said a Harlem woman. "I ac tually heard two boys betting on the skill of the sexton in snuffing out the candles. One bet 25 -cents that ho would extinguish each candle at the first application of the snuffers, the other that he wouldn't.

Haffenberg, a Chi cago attorney representing the major ity of the creditors. This examination was cursory, but brought out that the company's properties are in good con dition, that its product had proved readily marketable and that for a young firm it had not, except in the point of management, experienced sd rious difficulties. In view of these facts the formation of a new company is regarded as a possible and profitable course. The good will which the de funct concern secured during its year of existence would in this way be con served. Saturday's creditors' meeting took place in the office of Referee i:i Bankruptcy Adair Pleasants in Rock Island. Six attorneys representing creditors and five creditors were pres ent. Benjamin S.

An estimate of the value of the company's assets mado Saturday places the figure at about $120,000. These assets arc largely In the form of real estate, buildings, ma chinery and unmarketed and uncom pleted product. Whether they would bring the full amount of $120,000 on forced sale cannot be told.
