AFRAID OF AN EMPTY STOMACH.

Extract From a Letter by DR.. j. II. kel-
iogs, of the Battle Creek Sanitarium.
There are a good many people who
seem TO think that it is dangerous to
let the stomach get empty, and SO, in
addition to their regular meals, they
take lunch at bed time so as to keep
their poor stomach busy all night. The
all-gone feeling which they complain
of is not due to hunger but to diseased
state of the stomach. A person whose
appetite and food are normal, does not
suffer from hunger, even if he chances
to miss meal. Some have cultivated
an appetite SO depraved that they have
to get up in the night to eat l knew
one man who used to make his wife
get up and cook him hot meal in the
middle of the night regularly. He was
naturally a strong@ hearty, vigorous
man and should have lived to a good
old age but through constantly gorg-
ing his stomach, he died prematurely.
The idea that people must have
something good" which generally
means something bad, seems to be quite
prevalent. l once heard of a gentle
man who was very fond OF pie ana CAKE
and similar good" things, and who
always helped himself to them just be-
fore going to bed. One night he came
home about ten o'clock, and on going
to the pantry, did not find any pie; SO
he called out to his wife:
"Mary, where's the pie?"
Mary replied: Samuel, I'm very sorry
to say that there is no pie"
The man hunted a little longer and
then called out again:
MARY. where's the cake?"
The tired housekeeper reused up
enough to express her regret that there
was no cake baked either, whereupon
her liege lord exclaimed in Mortified
tones:
"Why, Mary, what would you do if
anybody should be sick here tonight"

HE BEAT THE RECORD.

How a Denver Man Was Engaged to a
Girl Before He Proposed to Her.
Five or six of the hotel guests were
seated out under the trees one evening,
talking about the folly of long engage
ments.
81 will tell you what" spoke up
young man, pulling his hat over his eyes,
as he lazily swung in the hammock. Il
was only engaged to my wife two
months, and we were married three
months after we met"
s'My sister," returned a pretty girl,
,'only knew her husband three weeks
and they were only engaged two
weeks"
as she happy?" asked someone.
ooh, perfectly? The young man met
her on the street one day and declared
that she was the very girl for him. Oh,
it was so romantic"
''This only helps to prove my theory"
said an old maid of the party with a
reminiscent look. sit is mistake to
wait too long"
''one of my friends" chimed in
sprightful voice, answered a personal
in New York paper, and three days
later the couple met by appointments
Would you believe it, they were mar
ried the next day."
81 know a true story that beats thai"
spoke up western girl, who evidently
wished to keep up the reputation of her
state in the story line. "a man whom
knew well was going from Austin,
Tex, to a town about forty miles dis
tant. In front of him sat pretty girl,
with whom he struck up an acquaint-
ance The girl intended to change cars
at the station which was the young
mans destination. But just think Of
it, When they reached that town they
stepped off the train as lively as you
please, got a license and the knot was
tied in jiffy-less than an hour after
the couple met"
A blonde young man in labor-saving
attitude, who had been listening with
considerable interest, drawled:
81 know of case that in its way is
quite as interesting. 1t started out
well. / never heard how it ended" ;
''Do tell it," spoke up several at once,
as the young man seemed about to re-
lapse into thoughfulness again.
"a girl ! know was engaged to fell
low an hour before he YVES engaged to
her"
Impossible exclaimed several
Show did it happen?"
"Well, he lived in Denver, she in Bos-
ton, and she answered Yes by tele-
graph"
The blonde young man looked reflect
lively at the crowd. They looked mourn
fully at him, and one by one they stole
back into the hoteL-N. Y. Herald.

PURITAN SMALL BOYS.
Rigid Discipline Prscticed in the Ear
New England Churches.


New England Churches.
In book in which Jonathan Trum-
bull recorded the minor cases he tried
as Justice of the peace is this entry:
His Majesties Tithing man entered
complain, against iona, and Susan
Smith, that on the Lords Day, during
Divine Service, they did smile" They
were found guilty, and each was fined
five shillings and costs But it was the
small boy" whose behavior in the
meeting house provoked the Puritan ell
ders to groan in chorus, 'Foolishness
is bound in the heart of child"
The boy behaved badly because he
was seated with other boys, instead of
with his father and mother in a family
pew. They were herded together on
the pulpit and gallery stairs, and tith-
ingmen and constables were appointed
TO watch over them, land see that they
behave themselves comelie, and use
such raps and blows as meet"
In one parish it was ordered in town
meeting that there be some sticks set
up in various places in the meeting
house, and fit parsons by them and to
use them"
In Miss Earle's book, "The Sabbath
in Puritan New England" story is
told of Doctor Dakin hearing a noise
while he was praying in a church in
Quincy. The minister opened his eyes
to discover the cause, and saw red
haired boy clutching the railing on the
front edge of the gallery. while q ven
cradle deacon clutched the boy. At last
the balustrade gave way, and boy and
deacon fell with q crash The deacon
then led the boy out of the meeting
house, and swishing sounds, accom-
panied by walls, were soon heard from
the region of the horse-sheds-

and calling the offender by name would
ask him TO call at the parsonage the

such tender and beautiful lessons were
taught the bad boys that they looked
upon Mr.. Chauncy as model Of Chris

A Yankee trait early showed itself,
for in 1929 the town of Medford passed

SHE HAD FORGOTTEN.
Her Right Had Held Something That
Was Missing.

Her Right Had Held Something That
Was Missing.
After she had made her purchases and
had informed the clerk as to the adj
dress to which they should be sent, she
picked up her purse with her left hand
and placed her parasol across her left
arm, gazing the while over the counter
and floor as if in search of something
else.
Excuse me, miss" ventured the
clerk; ''but have you mislaid any
thing?''
Il am sure don't know" she re-
piled; "but when entered the store
am positive that 1 carried something in
my right hand"
Ibid you not have your parasol or
purse in your right hand?"
''No; for I recollect very distinctly
that carried my purse in my left hand
and the parasol on my left arm, as you
see them now"
ut is very strange" remarked the
clerk with troubled expression on his
face, as he searched under the different
pieces of fabric strewn over the counter.
81 can not imagine what 1t was" she
remarked, musingly, as she placed a
small gloved hand to her chin and gazed
into space. 81 am positive it was some
thing, and feel lost without it.
81 am unable TO find any thing here, "
came the muffied voice of the clerk
from under the counter, whittier he had
drepped few seconds before with the
faint hope of being able to find the
missing he knew not what
''Oh, l know now what it was" she
gleefully exclaimed, as q pretty flush
overspread her face, 'It was this"
As the clerks head bobbed up from
behind the counter, like Jacl1-in-the-
box, she, with graceful sweep of her
shapely right arm, clutched handful
of her skirt in the back, and smilingly
cook her departure.-Harvey Brown,

pretty as can be, and are more bewitch-
ing in the water than anywhere else.
For long time folks chung to the dark
colors, mostly blue and black. Then
they discovered that white was a pretty
color for the blue waves, and then stripes
entered the field, and after awhile silks
and surahs were received with great
favor. So that now we spend as much
time and thought on our gowns for the
sea as we do on any others. There's
come to be a good deal of fitting and
draping in connection with these gowns,
and even here the ribson element, en-
tering so largely into summer toilets, is
prominent as well Ribbon looks very
pretty tying up the little shoulder puffs
that answer for sleeves, and very pretty
at the edge of short Turkish trousers.
Narragansett has some gay colors. A
dark girl of perfect figure, who swims
with perfect case, who dives and who
floats to the admiration of all the bath
ers, is clad in a dark red silk. She
wears silk stockings of the same shade.

Useful Rules.

Here is a truth useful to parents as
well as to the wardens of prisons.
There are in many homes men and
women who possess fixed opinions and
iron wills, and who subdue the other
mem bers of the family to a sort of
servitude- The daily habits, the topics
of frequent discussion, are of their
choosing; while their companions, Of
weaker wills but perhaps fine natures,
are forced to succumb. They try, like
transplanted trees. to grow In alien
soil, but only wither, fruitless- The
home thus becomes prison instead of
a nursery. Unselfish women are apt
foolishly to try to change their whole
natures into a feeble copy OF those
whom they love. Each man." says
German writer, ''1nust live his own life
if he would help his neighbor." do
not fence up your brothers path" says
another wise German, land keep your
own highway open" A useful rule in
all families is that each member shall,
if possible, have his room and portion
Of time to himself each day, with leave
to carry out favorite pursuit without
interference or ridicule. Youth's Com

shed was by his servant, to whom he
