It Paid to Be Cheerful,

A manufacturer of Kensington tells this true tale: “Fifteen years ago I was very rich, but ten years ago there came a time when it seemed that I’d surely fall. One day when a smash appeared a certaiaty I walked down Chestnut street toward the wool ware- houses, blue, blue as indigo, but I braced up and put on a cheerful air. Just then a man I knew came ip and said:

“ ‘Say, Bill, what makes you alway look so cheerful? Don’t you ever have any trouble at ail?

“‘Oh, yes,’ said I, joilying a little; ‘but to look blue doesn’t co any good,’ etc.

“*Well,’ this fellow said, ‘I tell you what I’m going to do. I’ve got $25,000 lying idle, and I’m going to get you to invest it for me. You're so well off, so lucky in Dusiness always, and so blamed cheerful, I’m sure nothing ever fails with you, and I want you to In- vest this money any way you please, and I won’t even ask you how you did tnvest it.’

“Well, I took this man’s money. It was just the amount my tottering bus!- ness needed. A year later times and prices were vastly better, and I paid the $25,000 back with interest at—what do you think?—9 per cent.”-~Philadel- phia Record.

A Heartiess Maiden.

There is a girl ix town who, being both bright and pretty, has a good many admirers, but the most ardent of all happens to be a pudgy old grass widower, witb two grandchildren and a red nose.

Naturally she has to stand a good deal of guying on his aceount and skips him as much as possible. So much, in fact. that the. poor man had no chance to plead his c/use in private and alone and so was at last driven to the use of pen and paper.

A Story of Jadge Mattacks.

Henry Keyes of Vermont was a Hfe- long Democrat. Governor Mattacks— or Judge Mattacks—was for a brief period a Democrat also. After he got to be a judge he soon became a Whig. While holding court at St. Johnsbury he occupied a room at the leading ho tel, which, as was usual during court time, was dull. Late at night Mr. Keyes arrived and wanted a bed. The

CHAKLUTTETUOWN, JAUNARY 2.1960

Ohe that was occupied Dy Judge Max- tacks,

“Go up and tell him Keyes wants to sleep with him.”

The landlord went up, rapped at the judge’s door, and told him his errand.

“Henry Keyes,” said the judge half asleep; “Henry Keyes of Newbury? Democrat? Oh, yes, I’ve had it once. Let him in.”—San Francisco Argonaut.

His Experience.

“Woman’s work is never done,” quoted the sympathetic citizen.

“That’s right,” answered Mr. Meek- ton earnestly. “I have observed it in Henrietta’s case. Woman’s work is never done. There is always enougk

busy from the time he gets through his dinner till he’s so tired he has to go to bed.”—Washington Star. Progression.

“Mary Prim doesn’t distribute tracts any more.”

“No. I met her the other day, and she smeNed dreadfully of peppermint.”

“From tracts or extracts, eh?’— Cleveland Plain Dealer.

The driest of all fishes is, perhaps, the river eel, yet, according to an anal- ysis by a German chemist 60 per cent of its substance is water. Salmon comes next, with 61.4 per cent. Lob- asters and oysters are four-fifths water.

The Danger of ©

PILES

Too frequently overlooked, Dr. Chase’s Ointment a Prompt and Positive Cure.

The suffering caused by the Intense itchin and burning sensations of piles is only one o the horrors of this disease, for there is always great danger of piles developing into fistula, one Of the most disgusting discases imaginable.

Even the great danger and expense of an operation are preferable to running the risk of contracting this most loathsome of diseases.

But there is no necessity for a surgical opera- tion for piles. Dr. Chase’s Ointment is guaran eed to cure any Case of piles, no matter of how long standing, or how aggravated the case may be, so long as piles have not become fistula,

It is only by rare chance that internal treat- ment will cure piles. But it matters not from what cause they arise, Dr. Chase's Ointment will at once stop the itching and burning, and sovn effect a perfect cure.

You can use Dr. Chase's Ointment with fullest assurance that what has cured scores of thousands of cases of piles will cure you. For sale by all dealers, or Kdmanson, Bates & Ca,, Toronto,
