Pears

Skin blemishes, like
foul teeth, are the more
offensive because they
are mostly voluntary.
The pores are closed.
One cannot open them in
a minute; he may in a
month.
Try plenty Of soap,
give it plenty Of time,
and often; excess OF good
soap will do no harm.

Unrequited Affection.

however, was in noways abated by a
little thing like that One day the girl
fell off the dock into the lake, and the
young man being somewhat of an athlete
and swimmer jumped in and rescued
her without much difficulty
Now" he said, as she stood dripping
on the dock. IL have saved your life
and you must marry me-"
Marry your she repeated in be-
wilderment. Must r."
"It's as little as you could do" he
whispered, putting out his hands to her
She gave him one look as he stood
there all draggled and sloppy, and with
a smothered shrek she plunged into the
flood once more.
The next time she was rescued by a
boy in boat, and the young man was
