pretty sateen, and these with her gray
cashmere for travelling, would do.
Then she needs new cape-her old
black shawl is rusty-and new bon
net, an umbrella, some gloves, shoes
and rubbers, and some nice crepe
lisse kerchiefs. o, we could fix her
up very presumably and pay her fare,
and still have some money left over.
Now what do you say, brother miner
Dave drew long breath.
"I am willing, if you are. Dolly.
It'll be a tough thing giving up our
trip this year, but then, dear old
Aunt Betseyl Won't she just beam
when she knows she is going to visit
her beloved crony, Nancy Ann"
And Aunt Betsey did "beam." Her
brown face was radiant with smiles
from morning till night. And her
joy wasn't lessened by any knowledge
that the twins had made sacrifice.
Her first demur at the expense OF
the trip was met by the assurance
from Dolly that she and Dave 'had
not borrowed or begged it," and
that it was meant to be spent in hav-
ing jolly time.
1t was long journey for the old
lady to take, but as it happened,
some acquaintance were going along
the same route, and they cheerfully
volunteered to see Aunt Betsey safe
at her destination. And when the
train moved away and the sight of
wrinkled hand wearing black silk
mitt and vigorously waving hand
kerchief in farewell was lost to view,
and Dave and Dolly turned home
ward, their faces were very sober for
usually so merry pair. But it was
caused less by their sacrifice than by
the parting from their old friend and
the realization of how lonely the
house would be without her. But,
as Dave turned woebegone look to-
ward the vine-covered porch in which
stood the empty rocking chair. his
eyes were dazzled by silvery CLEAN.
"Why-ee!" he exclaimed in as
constituent.
And then he and Dolly stared. For
there, leaning against the steps, were
two pneumatic tires and the network
of shining spokes-two new "Col-
umbiasp Each bicycle bore a card,
and as the twins rushed forward in
breathless amazement, they read:
"For Dave" and "For Dolly" Zone
good turn deserves another"
And while they "Ohed" and
"Ahed," and laughed and shouted
over these beautiful new gifts, the
lady boarder sat upstairs softly
smiling. She was happy and thank
full, too, for only few days before,

A BRAVE PROTECTOR.

AS we skinned down the sunny braes
and followed the road as it plunged in
to the dark shadows OF an overarching
wood, Sweetheart suddenly gave reins
to her imagination.
"There is bears and wolves here, I

per. "Yes. indeed, l see their noses and
some of their teeth! They are just
awaiting till we pass by, and then they
are going to jump on us. and grab US,
and eat us all up-yes, every little Bit"
Yet this most alarming prospect
seemed rather to delight Sweetheart
than otherwise,
Hush, father" she whispered, 1--WE

And so according to instructions we

HOW TO EARN PIN-MONEY

1t is pleasant for girl to earn money
and feel that it is her very own. EthePs
mother is paying Ethel for teaching her
little brother Eddie to play the piano,
and / have no doubt that Ethel earns
the money. for Eddie is perfect futter-
budget, and does not yet realize the
necessity for careful practice, and so he
must be called and seated and super
vised generally, every afternoon, by his
young music teacher, who, being only
SISTER" and not rigid disciplinarian
with severe face and stern manner, has
sometimes rather difficult time of it.
When young girl can assist her mother
in some way, as, for instance, by becom-
ing her private secretary, and looking
after her mothers social duties, answer
ing notes, taking care of an address list.
and in many ways tightening her moth
er's burden, she ought to have little
regular salary, in acknowledgement Of
her services, II her mother can afford to
give it to her. All daughters, am sure,
are happy to assist their mothers with
out payment, but when it can be given,
it is pleasant arrangement for both
sides.
In earning money by the exercise of
any art; as. for instance, painting on
china, embroidering on linen, or design
ing book.covers, girls ambition should
be to do the very best and finest work
she can. She must compete with skilled
workers, and she must not be satisfied
with slipshod work of her own. Then
whether she be rich or poor girl, she
must ask the price given by the best
houses, not underselling other people.
For instance, simply because a young
girl has a nice home and no expenses to
speak of. and is in want Of pin money.
she should not dispose Of dolly worth
ten dollers for five, even if the purchaser
be her Aunt May. She has no right
in any case to undersell another girl,
though she may give her work away
freely if she chooses.-Harper's Round
Table.

TIE BUSINESS MANS LUNCH.
Hard Work and Indigestion go
Hand in Hand.

Concentrated thought, continued in, robs
the stomach of necessary blood, and this is
also true of hard physical labor.
When a five horsepower engine is made
to do ten horsepower work something Is
going to break. Very often the hard
worked man coming from the field or the
Office will hbolt % his food in a few min
utes which will take hours to digest. Then
too, many foods are about as useful in the
stomach as a keg of nails would be in a
fire under boiler. The il1-used stomach
refuses to do its work without the proper
stimulus which it gets from the blood and
nerves The nerves are weak and ready
to break" " because they do not get the
nourishment they require from the blood,
finally the il1-used brain is rnorbidly wide
awake when the overworked man at
tempts to find rest in bed.
The application of common sense in the
treatment of the stomach and the whole
system brings to the busy man the full en-
jOyment of life and healthy digestion when

the stomach of all offending matters easily

for a short time to cure the biliousness,
constipation and slothfulness, or torpor, of
the liver; then the Medical Discovery"
should be taken in tcaspoonful doses to in
crease the blood and enrich it. 1t has a
peculiar effect upon the lining membranes
of the stomach and bowels, toning up and
strengthening them for all time. The

The end of the century isl brietling
with questions for settlement. Al
though complications elsewhere have
given Turkey breathing spell. her dis
solution is inevitable. The English, in
volved with Venezuela and courting
trouble in Africa, are raising momentous
issues. The Alaska boundary Is unset
tied, and is no mean affair. The end of
the Japanese Chinese war has not been
reached, and various difficulties may
arise over the division of the spoils.
Besides these there are minor troubles,
which are shadowed by greater compli-
cations. There is plenty to interest the
student of affaire, and the biographies of
the next decade will contain some rad
ical changes.

COST OF ENGLAND'S WAR.

Oal . IlO w dilft w dllEa OtAtCShAoh' IL
the wars of the present and of the pre-
vioas century England has expended
s., ,U00, ,O00, 900. Almost necessarily since
HOO England has been prosecuting war
and paying the cost of it, either in alli-
aEce with other European nations or
against barbarous or semi-ciyilized ma
tions singled handed.
The first of ne wars in which Eng
land engaged in the eighteenth century
was against the French, England hav-
ing as its. allies Holland, Prussia, Han
over and Portugal. It eliminated in
the treaty of Utrecht in 1713, after an
expenditure relatively much larger in
those days) of 5000, 100000.
The English war against the Canadian
colonists, who were favorable to the
French, but who were without adequate
resources to withstand the power of the
English, followed, at cost of 5000, ,000,
600, and then followed the war against
the American patriot colonists south of
the Canadian border line-the Revolu-
tionary wa-. The cost to England of
the Revolutionary war is given i'll the
OAuCldl uSuICS Ol--IIlO hdI OLuCC
at $6O0,000, 900.
The closing years of the eighteenth
century and the early years of the nine
teenth were years of strife and war in
which England took an active part, but
never single handed. Her first alliance
war with Russia, Prussia, Sardinia, Por-
tugal, Italy, and the minor German
states against France. That was in
1898. The next alliance, six years later,
included the same countries, with Tur-
key, Naples, the Barbary states and
Austria in addition as allies of England.
The combination OF European nations,
of which England was part in 1905. IN
cluded England, Russia, Austria, Swe-
den and Naples. In 1909 England and
Austria combined against France, and
in 1873 all the great powers OF Europe
and most of the minor ones, com bined
against Napoleon in what was known
afterwards as ..the seventh coalition"
While these wars were in progress in
Europe, England carried on other ware,
tthe war of 1922, and in India, and
during this period, beginning in 1893
and closing in 1915, the total sum ex-
pended by England for war and naval
purposes was $4,000, ,000, ,000. Such was
the debt of England-at the close of the
last war with the United States, but it
has been greatly reduced since. The
Crimean war, in which England engaged
against Russia, with France, Turkey
and Sardinia as its allies, cost England
$3.50, ,000, 900, and subsequent wars and
encounters in India, in Southern Africa,
where the Beers proved a sturdy foe, in
Egypt and elsewhere have entailed con-
siderable cost upon the English treas
ury, but very much less than the ex-
pense of fighting with civilized soldiers
in well.equipped armies. The present
debt of England, exclusive of the debt
of English dependencies, which is ST.
