Paskola is nothing but natural food.
Consumption Is wasting away and los

eases we suffer from, caused by bad di-
gestion.
Bad digestion can be cured, the con-
sumptive can gain flesh and strength, and
this will help the doctor to cure the
disease.
The way to do it is for the consumptive
to take Paskola. Paskola will make any
one fat; even a consumptive.
Fatness, happiness and health They
all go together. How seldom do we see
a fat unhappy person!
On the other hand the unhappy thin

all be fat? They would look so different.

They could be fat if they tried" They

Uniform of Rags.

At the outbreak Of the war between
the states Capt. Reynolds raised COM
pany of Mississippians, and in the en-
thusiasm of the occasion made some
rash promises to the parents of the
boys. Among these was one to keep
his company well uniformey. Years
passed, and one of the anxious fathers
visiting the Army of Northern Virginia
was mortified to see his boy in rags He
upbraided the coptain for not keeping
his company in uniform. The captain
for a moment was stunned, but recov-
cred himself and cried out: 'Atten.
ton, company! About facet" And as
the unconfined rags futtered like so
many banners of poverty from each
'Pope's headquarters" Captain r
pointed to the company and said:
They are uniformed, sir."-Con. War

knew before Tom had finished per-
using his letter by the joyful ex-
preston on his face that Brooms had
not consented to the discontinuance of
their relations He sprang up. grasped
his crutch, babe me follow him, and
hobbled into a corner, where he read
me Brooms' letter
"Hain't she darlin'?" he asked,
carefully placing the message in his
pocket.
Our vessel was government cruiser.
and had put into this port for repairs.
When she was finally released from
the dry dock the Natalie set out for
New York, where in due course we
arrived. Tom and myself were honor
ably discharged from the service and
parted, he going to Philadelphia and
to Boston.
A few weeks later received an in
vitation to Toms wedding, and decid-
ed to attend it The occasion was al.
most pathetic. The beauty of Brooms,
upon which had heard Tom dilate SO
often, was undeniable. As she stood
up with him, her beryl-tinted eyes
flashed with the fire of a woman's love,
her cheeks suffused. her lips, like wet
coral, murmuring the responses tremu-
lousy, the white serge all about her
graceful throat, and the orange bios
SONS in her Titan hair, must confess
that for once the matter-of-fact Tom
Abercorn excited my envy. And when
it was all over and the guests presents
had been duly examined and admired,
Brooms' father, with redundant gra-
ciousness, handed her a deed to an
elegant brown-stone house. and told
the bride and groom it was to be their
future home. One of the guests in
formed me that Mr.. Grayling had set
tied upon his daughter an annuity,
and / came away fully convinced that
Ishould be willing to spare one of my
legs for such wife and such father
in-law.
Tom is at present slap-up official
in the Philadelphia navy yard. He
don't half earn his handsome salary,
the rascal. There is scarcely anything
for HIM to do. Tom is lazy, fear; but
then, he can afford to be; and Brooms,
who is sole heir to her recently de.
ceased fathers estate, is constantly
teasing him to resign, and let the old
navy yard go to grass.

knew her father would fume over it
and call me a rascal; but to tell the
truth, l couldn't help likin' her, and
thought to myself il she liked me well
enough to marry me 1t would not
make SO much difference what her
governor said, anyway"
These remarks were made by Tom
Abercorn on the deck Of an American
man-of-wa anchored in an eastern
port We spent many afternoons, as
old friends will, in reminiscent con-
versation. l had been cruising about
the world nearly three years before it
occurred to me that was tired of it
A mere romantic caprice, considerably
reinforced by Tom Abercorn's brusque
persuasion, had led me into the service
IN the first place, and now that the
glamor Of marine experience had worn

not be happier on land.
! There was some reason to believe
that Tom was also growing dissatis-
fed, though he seldom limited any
thing 10 that effect He was rough
and-ready fellow. and the life of the

CURED
But while Tom was physically
adapted to cope with ocean vicissi-
tudes, there was q magnet that ever
drew his thoughts ashore. He was
engaged to be married. The father of
his inamorata was large and wealthy
broom manufacturer in Philadelphia,
and Tom always spoke facetiously of
the young lady as Brooms In fact,
that was the nickname by which she
was called by the members Of her fam
lily and her most intimate friends
