JULES KELLER.
Crippled Youth Who Has Become

Crippled Youth Who Has Become a
Famous Gy,nnast.
jules Keller is the name of famous
gymnast who makes use of his arms
for the purposes most people use their
legs. With his hands he does all sorts
of difficult things-walks. jumps. slides,
perhaps dances and skates as well. His
hands are not calloused, but smooth,
firm and supple.
Jules Keller is about twenty-six
years old. He was born of poor parents
in Prussia. When a lad he was ap-
prenticed to a trapeze performer. At
that time Jules had the use of good
strong pair of legs. and used them to
advantage. When he was about twelve
years of age, he was performing in st.
Petersburg with his master. who used
to catch him as he swung off a trapcze.
One night his master failed to catch
poor Jules, who fell fifty feet, striking
upon his legs and back. They carried
him home to his mother. and everyone
thought he was going to die.
But instead of dying. Jules recovered.
He got back little of the sense of feel
ing in his legs and feet, though he
never would be able to walk upon them
again. The strength which was crushed
out of them found its way into his arms
and hands.
He lay in bed three years. Then, to
help himself, he began practicing walk
ing and moving about on his hands,
with his helpless legs balanced in the
air. He practiced until he was sure
that his body would follow unerring!y
the order of his fingers.
Then he resolved to utilize his new
ability. He was able to run up and
downstairs on his hands, and also slide
down a baluster. He sought and found
a public engagement to exhibit thi Q
..baluster feat OF all the feats which
this young man has since learned, this
remains the most popular.
Perhaps he never would have thought
of doing these odd things if his cruel
misfortune had not forced him to find
some way to help himself. But the
same thing has happened to others he
sides Jules Keller-that what seemed
at first the hardest thing in their lives
becomes the cause of their final sue
cess.-Harper's Young People.

ExTRAvAGANCE AND ECONOMY.

hut 1t Takes Just Such Contradictions to
Make q Woman Most womanly.
The most recklessly eNtravagant
woman has a vein of economy some
where in her composition. Economy is
born in a woman 1t may be devel-
oped in a manner to prove either bene-
fetal to herself or husband Yet there
will be always some point at which she
will retrench, will look well to the
pennies and think and calculate with
the ablest 6nancier. She may be
willing to pay one hundred dollars for
a gown, but she viii shop all over town
to save ten cents yard on the lining.
She may spend five dollars for a ride in
the park. but she will begrudge five
cents for car fare when out shopping.
She may stint the table at one time and
be w idely extravagant at another.
She may ruin a whole garment by the
desire to finish it cheaply, which desire
has remorsefully seized her at the last
moment. but there is one thing in
which she never economies When
she loves she loves with her whole
heart There is no stint-only a giving
of all the wealth of her affection. There
fore do not laugh at her little econo-
mics; simply remember that a woman
TO be womanly must be made up of
those contradictions that seem so ridic-
ulous to the average masculine mind

THE BEST PLAN FOR OLD AGE.
Is Securing Helpful Circle of Good
Erientis Now.

Friends Now.
When Il man is planning for the com
fort of his mature and declining years
there are some things that he arranges
for as matters of course. But
there are one or two comforts that he
may miss by rot approaching their
value until it Is too late to provide for
them. a particular luxury of this sort,
for which a timely arrangement must
be made if man is to have it at all. is
a periodical meeting with the men who
We're young when ne was.
In order to secure this enjoyment
it IS necessary, in the first place. to be
young with a considerable number of
persons associated in the pursuit of
some common interest, and to form
more or less intimate relations with
them They must be the right sort of
people, too: people whom it is not only
edifying to know while they are young.
but who promise a development which
will make fair proportion of them
good company in their maturity. Having
formed such an acquaintance betimes,
the habit of renewing it periodically
should be started early and carefully
nurse0, the periods growing gradually
less until they become annual.
The simplest way 10 accomplish all
this is doubtless to go early in life to a
good college and return yearly to its
commandments. But where that has
not been feasible, the same end is often
otherwise Accomplished as by being a
veteran of the war, and meeting ones
fellow veterans annually at a grand
army encampment, or by being an earn
est politician and getting sent pretty
regularly to conventions. The points
that require attention are that you
must meet old friends who were Young,
or comparatively young. in your COM
pany, and from whom you are Ordinari-
" separated. The old friends whom
You meet every day won't do. You
talk to them when you see them about
what happened yesterday and was in
the morning paper. The sight of them
does not annihilate time for you: your
intercourse with them has been too
constantly contempOraneOus fcr that.
But the old acquaintance whom you
only see once Il year carry you back
every time to the years when you first
knew them.--Scribner

Then You May Talk.

Oh. talk to me not OF her beauty,
Her grace, or her smiles, or her eyes:
Oh, tell me no tales of her sweetness,
Nor think that you've captured q prize;
Oh, do not assert that she's stylish,
Or cultured, or Queenly. or sweet;
Oh, never enthuse DER her dimples,
Or pirate of her fairy-like feet;
Neer mention her sadness romantic,
Nor say she's an angel on earth:
Don't speak of her innocent gladness,
Nor yet OF her bright, artless mirth;
Say naught Of her lips rosy redness,
And naught of her delicate chin;
Go, silence your swaggerly boastings
Till all the returns have come In;
care not to know that you've studied
Her features in every mood
You still cannot judge Of her rightly,
Not judge her as judge her you should,

Have You a Cold ?

Perhaps you think because you do not
cough, on that account you are not af-
flicted with sold. A cold does not always
settle on the lungs or in the throat. A
cold caught in summer frequently does not.
1t settles upon the kidneys and produces
pneumonia or rheumatism besides good
many other things, and is fully as danger
Gus there as it is when it fastens upon the
lungs. When you catch cold get bottle
of REDS GERMAN COUGH AND
KIDNEY CURE and take it freely. If
your cold is obstinate and you feel out of
sorts and feverish, take it in small doses
frequently every fifteen minutes, and it
will certainly cure you. This is the sea-
son of the year when catarrhal complaints
prevail. People suffer greatly from asthma
this month and from hay fever. If they
will take REID'S GERMAN COUGH
AND KIDNEY CURE they will be cured.
It will give them relief at once, but as
these are obstinate maladies, persons thus
afflicted must persist in taking the reme-
DIV. The result is in all cases beneficial.
Ask your druggist for it and do not take
anything else.
