On the route to camp views of every

For getting a man out of hard place
a joke is better than a gun. A Yankee
drummer boy was out on littlo forag-
ing expedition all by himself one evening
during the late war, and had scaIei a
bristling picket fence to get Mt a tree full
of tempting, rosy apples. He had filled
his haversack and his pockets when he
was suddenly startled by stentoriap
voice calling OUT
Drop them apples, and git, boy, OF
yer dead Yank!"
the owner of the apples, rifle in hand.
The boy ran for dear life, but clung to
as many of the apples rs he could, On
reaching the fence he grasped a post and
tried to climb over; but the picIe,s
seemed to have gained foot in height
and many degrees in sharpness since he
entered the orchard, and, as lie Scram-
bled over, one of them managed to insert
itself Just between the small of his back
and his leather belt in such way as to
ho.d him suspended at the mercy of his
oncoming foe.
"Git, l tell ye! Git, er I'll shoot"
roared the confederate.
The boy looked over his shoulder, and
despite the ugly rifle levellcd at his head
called out good humoredly,-
"Oh, see here, now, don't shoot. Don't
you see I'm on picket and can't leave my
post?"
The man lowered his gun, broad
smile came over his face, and he an.
swered,-
"All right, sonny; stick to your post "
Then he turned and went away in the
direction whence he had come, leaving
the Yankes boy to get out of his predica.
ment as best he could, which he finally
did by cutting his belt with his pocket
knife.

There are as many ways of finding

as necessary to the experiment as clown

Then, after you have caught your cake,
take an ordinary square envelope and
seal up bit of the cake in it. Cut lit

not slip or be read.
The owner now receives it, and on
penalty of never marrying in this
world, must not take one until the al

one night, and then take out one name.
She does this with each card, and the

may sigh little over some one pulled
out among the three goners, but it can't
be helped.

are specially allotted to the presiding
genius of fire. 1t was consecrated about
IL centuries ago by the ancestors of the

the voyage they had made in their emil

vowed to institute the fire in the event of
their ships landing them in safety on In

Ready for tho Emergency.

In times of danger, though fifty sug-
%estions may be made by as many pco-
pie, comparatively y few of them are Of
practical use. Recently girl, while
crossing railroad track, caught the heel
of her shoe between the side of one of the
tracks and the pavement. She was ter
riii"d at the situation, and in her frantic
efforts to release herimprisoned foot only
succeeded in plnionlng 1T the more.
There was no danger of her being run
over by the trains, for she was caught on
the track used for freight cars, and the
yardmaster and the signal man We're
promptly at hand to flag the locomotive
il necessary. She did not realize this,
how ever, and her cries of alarm soon at
trac ed large crowd. ."Pry up the
stone" said one. "Yes, run. Get q
crowbar,n exclaimed another bysiandcr.
Cut the heel of the shoe, intcrjected u
third, but the entire shoe WAS caught by
this time and the men could not reach to
cut the heel. 50 it continued for fifteen
or twenty minutes, each one offering
n suggestion and extending sympathy to
the now half frantic girl, who saw no
chance of speedy escape from her predic-
ament. At last an Irish laborer came up
and elbowed his way through the crowd.
He at once grasped the situation. "Why,
men," he said, "why don't you unlace
the shoe, and let the lady draw her foot
out?" At once the problem was solved.
The woman was released, and her shoe,
somewhat the worse for the effort of the
men, was pried from the track and re-
placed upon the foot. The men who had
been 50 prolific of suggestions looked at
one another, somewhat foolishly, and at
the laborer with admiration. Then they
dispersed in various directions and the
episode was over.

Scotch shrewdness is occasionally over
matched by Irish wit. The handful Of
people who inhabit Tory Island, ii little
spot in the Atlantic, off the Irish coast,
enjoy so much health and so little wealth
that there is no doctor on the Island. IN
rare cases of emergency physician IS
brought in boat from the nearest vii
lage on the mainland. On one occasion,
some islanders " no were obliged to sum
mon the doctor found that lie had gone
to Dublin ON business. As the case was
urgent, they invoked the services of the
only other practitioner within score of
miles. This gentleman WAS Scotch
man, with the proverbial "cannlness" Of
his race, and he declined to uudrrta.,h
the voyage unless he receive his fee--;t
golden suycrrgu-in advance. There
WAS no help for it, and the money WAS
paid. The physician went to Tory Island,
and attended to the case. But WHOM he
inquired for boat to take him away, he
found that not a boatman.on the island
woul! ferry him back again for any less
consideration than two pounds, paid in
advance. The doctor had to part with
the two sovereigns, and to admit that he
had been beaten at his own game.

ed boys. Life is an interrogation
point. "What is it for!" we con-
tinually cry from the cradle to the
grave. So with this little introduc-
tory sermon we turn and ask: What
is AUGUST FLOWER FOR ?" As easily
answered as asked: 1t is for Dys-

the Stomach and Liver. Nothing
more than this; but this brimful.
We believe August Flower cures
Dyspepsia. We know it will. We
have reasons for knowing it. Twenty
years ago it started ina small country
town. To-day it has an honored
place in every city and country store,
possesses one of the largest manu-
featuring plants in the country at and
sells everywhere. Whyi is thlst The
reason is as simple as a child's
