He Will Be an Innocent Thing,

The sun beat hOtly upon the parehed
earth.
"Oh, see" he exclaimed, joyously.
THAT woman who throws the ball is
trying to hit the woman with the bat.
Oh, dear, why doesn't she run the
other way? Are those women out yon-
der the bases? How stupid in me. You
told me that before, didn't you? Is our
side going out without run? Isn't that
lovely, after the other side had to run
so much.n
Thus the pretty young man with the
blue veil prattled on and on, seemingly
oblivious that the tall lady in the
checked suit sat silent and preoccupied
beside him.-DetrOn Tribune.

General Gordon's Story.

He was dying and begged me to send
a message to the Union lines. His
wife had decided to share with him
the fortunes of war and was at the Of
ficers' quarters i'm the Federal army.

him Us comfortable rs possible. Then
| sent some men with a flag of truce to
the Union lines with the message
from the dying officer to his wife.
Late that night the party returned,
and the meeting of the dying husband

YOUR MoTHER-TN-LAW.
Why She is Entitled to Your Love and Ten
der Regard.

You wish your wife to love your moth
er. Then YOU must show the same kind
ly feelings 10 hers, writes Ruth Ashmore,
in Ladies' Home Journal. Think it all
out and realize how close girl is to her
mother, how she represents consolation
and wisdom 10 her, how she goes to her
with her grief and her happiness, and re-
member that you have not 10 he only
husband, but mother, for You must be so
tender TO her that with her head on your
breast and her arms about you she will
tell her troubles and her worries, her joys
and her pleasures, and not only look for
but receive sympathy from you. And
then when her mother is there be gentle
and considerate of her. She has given
you her companion and her little helper,
and be sure that there has been many a
lonely hour for her since that gay we'd
ding day. SO remember that you owe
her thanks that must express themselves
i'm pleasant manner and in courteous
speech. None Of US can love people at
once. but making up our minds to care
for them will make affection come, and,
best of all, stay.

Catarrh starts in the nasal passages,
affecting eyes, ears and throat and is

catarrh viii follow, such a. bad breath,
severe pain across forehead and about

Important Medical Discovery.


From Germany comes the first official
news of great American discovery said
to cure the most dreaded of diseases
consumption and cancer. Consul General
DeKay. Of Berlin, in report 20 the state
department says the discovery. which
was announced late in March in the mos:
serious and trustworthy medical weekly
in Germany, is likely to receive consider
able attention at the coming medical
congress in Munich.
The discovery was male by DIR. Louis
Waldstein, of New York, a brother of the
famous archeologist, DIR. Charles Wald-
stein. The new treatment, which has
been perfected by studies abroad, consists
of injecting minute doses of pilocarpine
until the lymphatic system is stimulated
and the white corpuscles of the blood
overcome the poisonous particles which
produce disease. DIR. Waldstein's
researches have gone TO the fountain
whence the healthful white corpuscles
spring and enlivening its action and pro-
ductiveness restores tbs condition of the
blood destroying poisonous germs.
The importance of the discovery is
thought 10 be far beyond those of Pasteur,
Koch and others.
