The dainty wee feather
All helping together
To make it the cunningeSt hat ever seen.

or those bouny eyes pceping out from the crown
The h3xeu hair curling
The flowing and WIRING
With crumpled old ribbons forlorn hanging

FALSE MOOESTY.
A Fruitful Cause of Di.e... and Death

Fruitful Cause OF Disease and Death.
If we were to be asked what Is the great
obstacle to the physical welfare of the race.
we should say, "False modesty." Who
does not know or guess of many cases
where the sufferer has allowed his health
to run down and has become enfeebled in
body and mind. transmitting diseased body
and mind to posterityto the curse of those
that come after him, when, by throwing
aside false modesty in time and consulting
a competent physician. the disease might
have been checked? OF course, for the pa
tient TO repose confidence in the physician,
1t is necessary that the physician should be
worthy of confidence, and all doctors are
not so honorable and gentlemanly as is DR..
Albert, of the Cleveland Medical Institute.
He is physician of wonderful skill and
wide experience In the treatment of OBJ
scure and complicated diseases, and false
modesty should keep no one from consult
ing him.

Wednesday, March 81, at the ST. James

Proud OF Muddy Trousers.

A citizen stood at the corner Of Fifth
and Main streets yesterday afternoon, and
his trousers We're spattered with mud.
He looked down at them lovingly and his
face beamed with joy. His smile was so
broad it was almost audible, and many
passers by stopped to remark on the
blamed idiot who enjoyed getting his
trousers covered with mud. But the
smile never left the citizens face.
''Why don't you get n bootblack to
clean thems' the Gossiper asked.
Clean them? Not for the world. I
shall always keep these trousers just as
they are 1 shall cherish them as a
precious relic to be shown TO my children
and grandchildren. That mud, see, was
splashed on my trousers by a messenger
boy who dashed by me on a run. -
