Health Rules for Women.

There are three things that give a
woman perfect form, movement and
disposition. Resolved into rules, thew
are as follows: Don't fret, keep clean,
and, finally, keep supple. To keep sup
pie a woman must begin by breathing
right; then she must walk with her
muscles instead of her bones, and. last
ly, she must exercise regularly. The
best way to keep clean is to rub a nj ice,
soft cream into your skin before taking
a bath, and then take that bath lust as
hot as possible. The cream feeds the
skin and the hot water cleanses and
softens it. The way to keep from fret
ting is to put your thoughts upon some-
thing else than yourself, and, above all,
to have an interest or object in life.
No woman need fear old age if She has
lived up to these Yules,--Chicago Her

| There were but two of the road
agents. While one of them relieved
the Passen gers of their weapons and

the front boot of the stage securing
the treasure box.
When the first robber came opposite
to Jim, he drew back in surprise, ex-
claiming: ''Well, I'll be darned-'
For second only he was off his
guard, but that brief space of time was
fatal one. A pistol cracked and he
fell shot through the head.
''Isang, crack" went two more shots.
Both took effect; the second road
agent reeled and fell from the boot OF
the stage and Jim was lying beside the
first robber. 1t was the big six shooter
of the man on the stage that had an

crack of a derringer that had termi-

young doctor in the party stanched

taken from his h olster by one of the
bandits, after which a careful search
had been made to see that he had no
other weapon, but when we picked him

to conceal them and bring
them into action at such an opportune
time? The mystery was solved when

the end of six hours Ji1n's earthly pos
sessions consisted of the suit of clothes
he was wearing; everything else he
had owned in the world had passed
into the hands Of the skillful and
scientific gentleman from Texas.
The Fairplay gambler arose from the
table and relieved himself of some
choice profanity, most of which was
directed against himself. He declared
that he was ''better qualified to drive a
stage than to pose as a gentleman of
fortune" The superintendent of the
stage line, who was present, loosely
offered Jim job, and the penniless
gambler in a spirit of bravado accepted
it, and declared then and there that he
would never touch the ''pasteboards''
again as long as he lived.
The gentleman from Texas took his
departure unostentat iously as he
had come, but leaving behind him in

exhibited it declared they had never
