and a white dress, with rutfles and q

In the summer she went to see her
grandfather She had been there be-
fore. but it was year ago, and che
didn't remember anything about it. ex-
cept that they had q squatty dog, which
sat up and said: Wrought" when he
wanted something to eat. And cat
that scratched her when she patted It.
And that the bedrooms smelled Of dried
rose leaves. And that grandfather al.
ways had nuts in his pockets, and q
watch that snapped very loud.
For she was now only four years old.
and most people find it hard, you know.
to remember things that happened Z
whole quarter Of their lives ago!
She was little afraid of grandfather
at first but he was 90 kind and pleasant
that she was soon sitting on his knee,
playing with his long white beard. Their
she began to look very hard at his head.
She thought it looked very strange in

Lulie felt very much concerned about
it She stood up on his lap, and
peeped over bis head to see how far biz
forehead went back. 1t went back
very far indeed, and Lulie softly stroked
the few white hairs on his temple with
q feeling that something ought to be
done about il.
Her own hair covered her head and
hung down in long curls. It seemed
to her that she had great deal more
than her share.

But mamma said, run away and
play now, dear" and grandpa slipped
some nuts in her pocket and set he'
down.
But Lulie went very soberly up to hel
mammals room. Halt an hour after
wards she came back with . face al
smiles and dimples.
Here's GUS s'are. ganpa!" sha
cried, running up TO him. Her shor'
dress was held up in both hands-ful
Of bright hair!
Everybody stared in dismsy.
What woeful havoc mamma's scissors
had played with the sunshiny curls!
On one side they waved - before
but on the other they were unevenll

Mamma looked as II she hardly knew
whether to laugh or cry. But graudps

1t may be the duty of metropolitan
newspapers, which have such a
variety of readers, to cater to the
tastes of all classes; and in chroni-
cling the sporting news to give the
detail of prize fights; but we doubt
the propriety of the custom. Re-
garding these prize fights as brutal
and demOralizing to society, we
never mention them except to con-
denim; because we think to give de.
tails of them is to encourage them
to certain extent, while it has the
tendency to lead the naturally vic
ious youth to aspire ~ to the ques-
tionable distinction of a slugger.-

come to the conclusion that they are real ben
efactors. Ills certified to that only one dose
of their Satanic will cure the chllls. Those
afflicted with this tormenting malarial trouble
should come "runnin'" to our druggists for
the medicine. As far as we are concerned, we
hope their medicine will replace all others OF
their kind, because the money this home firm

Satdmt0 Medicine Co, Little Rock. Ark..:
Gentlemen have used your Satanic in my
family tor over year. Ihave given it to my
little ones, as well as the grown people, and
have never given but one dose in each case to
cure the chiils and fever permanently. 1t is
de harmless as water, and DIS sure to cure with
one dose as the summer sun is to melt ice, and
if the people of the United States were aware
of such a remedy being in Little Rock, Ark, it
would be sent out in train loads. 1t is certainly
the greatest remedy for chills OH earth.
