"Castoria is the best remedy for children of

far distant when mothers will consider the real

agents down their throats thereby sending
them to premature graves"

A Connecticut Poet.

There Is movement in Connecticut to
erect a monument to the memory Of the
poet, James Gates Percival He was q
peculiar man and had all Of the poets
idiosyncrasies. On one occasion he was
invited to meet q number Of gentlemen
in New Haven, who were in their turn
notified that they were to have the pleas
ure of meeting the poet. He was to be,
In fact, the honored guest OF the even
ing. They were all on hand, but Per-
cival did not put in an appearance. Al
lowance was made for his utter indiffer-
ence to the passing Of time. and up to
midnight he was expected.
At last, as morning drew near, deem
ing 1t certain that the poet had forgot.
ten the invitation, the guests went home
and the host put up the bars and went
to bed. At about 2 o'clock In the morn
ing he heard some one at his front door,
went down, asked the object Of the call
and found that it was Percival. The as
tonished host let the poet in, and the lat
ter blandly said that he had inferred
from what had been said that there were
to be others present. The host told him
that the others had all gone home. The
poet expressed regret and settled him
self down for good smoke and talk,
which kept up, to his hosts embarrass
ment, till the sun ose--Boston Tran

People Who Taxe uren.e Ea,lly.


In this world there are certain class
tf individuals who roam about with q
chip on their shoulders, daring others to
knock it off just for the luxury of in.
dulging in first class quarrel. To the
gentle hammered, sweet dispositioned
ones this seems very questionable sort
of enjoyment, yet to some wordy war
or full fedged feud constitutes the
chief excitement of their lives.
These people always have quarrel on
hand. If it isn't family affair, then
outsiders must suffer. They are quick
to take offense, both in public and
private, and have no scruples about e1-
pressing themselves on paper when they
haven'ta chance to do so verbally. 1t ia
this penchant for writing letters that
helps to keep them continually in hot
water, as the black and white characters
are decided evidence against them even
after their anger has had time to cool.
Now, If there were any sense in this
sort Of conduct, there would be some ex-
cuse for it, but there isn't, and, more
over, it makes you doubly unhappy to be
always on the outs with some one. You
may pretend not to care, but you do just
the same, and though pride and temper
keep your spirits up for time in your
secret heart you wish you had not been
quite SO ready to quarrel. New York
Commercial Advertiser.

The laws Of common courtesy hold In
the use Of words as we'll as dishes. As
unconsciously as you turn the handle Of
the pitcher In passing 1t should you turn
the handle Of your sentence and present
your thought right side up. You would
not toss the book you are asked for across
the floor and leave your brother to pick
it up. Why toss your answer in similar
hit or miss rudeness?
It is not -udeness Of manner to which
refer, but the rudeness Of not making
your sentence at least neat. The most
admirable and sffectionate of persons
will fill your ears with thousand need,
less words that do but conceal their
meaning, or make some noncommittal
reply which forces you to repeat your

THE TOAD IN THE MOON.

The red men who inhabit the
whole western continent between
the Rocky mountains and the
Cascade range believe that the
spots on Lunas face represent the
form of gigantic toad, and tell the
following story to substantiate their
queer ideas:
In time long past little wolf, be-
ing desperately in love with a toad,
went a-wooing one night and pray
ed that the moon might shine bright
ly on his adventure. His prayer
was granted, and by the clear light
of the moon ne was pursuing the
toad and had almost caught her
when, as a last chance, she made a
desperate spring for the face Of the
moon (which appeared much nearer
than common) and succeeded in
reaching that luminary. where she
sets until this day in plain view OF
all the wolves of the world, which
nightly howl in their agony when
ever they think of how the toad out
witted their ancestor.-[St. Louis
Republic.
