day while talking to friend, ''are sell

''Isers?" exclaimed his companion.
"What on earth are isers?"
''To explain what they are, !" replied
the publisher, "let me tell you a story
of want ad. Once 4 man wished to
employ for his circus an acrobat who
could throw triple somersaults. So he
put want ad. in the paper. In reply
to the advertisement he received 90 let
ters. Together with a friend he read
them over. Some of the letters he put
in pile by themselves. They were the
ones that read something like this:
"DEAR S1R-You advertise for man who
can throw triple soInersault. used to throw
triple somersaults and think that after n little
practice could do il again I'd like trial.
1.-The other letters were put in anoth-
er pile and ran something like this:
"DEAR SIR-I am a good acrobat; but. while
never have thrown triple somersaults think
with little practice could do it. I'd like to
have trial.
.''Well, said the circus man, as he
shook his head sadly, there are 90 let
ters from 80 acrobats. twenty-five OF
them are "has beens,' 90 are going TO
bes,'' but there amt an "iser" in the
whole lot Now, I want 'isers, and so
does every other business man, but they
are all EN- mployed. New York Tribune.

Mistaken Kindness.

One of the first resolutions which are
formed by men and women who are
succeeding in life, that il, as measured
by tho only standard in use nowadays,
increasing their possessions far beyond
their actual needs. is that they will put
safeguards around their children; the
hardships which they themselves con-
tended against shall never, if they can
help it. be encountered by their of
spring. They not only coddle them
selves, indulge themselves with unac-
customed Injuries and spare themselves
all avoidable physical exertion, but they
believe this course to be the right way
to live, and that if it is good for them,
it is good for their children. They do
not understand that character is formed
under the pressure of the compulsory
hardships and self denials Of youth,
just as they forget that health is not a
gift or an accident, but the reward of
abstinence and Of hard work under nat
ural conditions, perhaps continued

TME BEST
SPRING MEDICINE

is SIMMONS LIVER REGULATOR-do don't
forget to take it. The Liver gets sluggish
during the Winter, just like all nature,
and the system becomes ehoked up by
the accumulated waste, which brings on
Malaria, Fever and Ague and Rheuma-
tism. You want to wake up your Liver
now, but be sure you take SIMMONS
LIVER REGULATOR to do it. 1t also
regulates the Liver-keeps il. properly at
work, when your system will be free from
poison and the whole body invigorated.
You get THE BEST BLOOD when
your system is in Al condition, and that
will only be when the Liver is kept active.
Try Liver Remedy once and note the
difference. But take only SIMMONS
LIVER REGULATOR-it is SIMMONS
LIVER REGULATOR which makes. the
difference. Take it in powder or in liquid
already prepared, or make a tea of the
powder; but take SIMMONS LIVER REGU-
LATOR. You'll find the RED L on every
package. Look for it.

GETTING PATENTS.
The DISCOVERIES Are Not Usually the Ones
to Reap the Reward.


If you look back ON the history of hui
man progress, you will find that none Of
the great epoch making inventions has
ever been patented. The man who lit
the first fire-whether Prometheus or
the party from whom he stole the idea
did not get patent for it, Neither
did the man who made the first wheel,
in every sense one of the most revo-
lutionary inventions in the history of
man. The same thing may be said of
the invention Of soap, candles, gun pow
der, umbrellas and the mariners COM
pass, or, to come down to our own day,
Of the steam engine and the electric tele-
graph.
Patents are mostly concerned with
small mechanical details and improve
ments-it may be in the application of
steam and electricity-and by means of
these patents enormous profits have been
secured to second rate inventors, but the
great ideas and discoveries which I'M
derlie these details have been given to
the world gratis.
There is general notion that if you
did not protect inventions by means of
patents inventors would cease to invent
and material progress would come to
standstill. But history does not bear this
out in the least. Men with great me-
ohanical gifts do not exercise them sole
ly with view to commercial profit any
more than astronomers search the heav-
ems for new worlds with an eye to regis
tering patents and floating companies
ON the results Of their discoveries. Lon

Mr.. and Mrs. Henry Z. Dixey, who
have been separated for the last six
years, are once more living together in
a fiat in New York.
Mr.. Dixey himself admitted the
truth. He and his wife and their little
boy, Harry, he said, were living very
happily together up town. He hoped
that this would be the end of all his
marital difficulties.
1t is understood that their affection
for their children-Harry, who is at
home, and Evangeline, who is at school
at the convent at Fort Lee-was what
drew Mr.. and Mrs. Dixey together again
and induced them to let bygones be by
cones.

on the stage as Ida Glover. She has
been living in retirement, however, for
some time. New York Herald.

A HUMAN BUTTERFLY.
Startling Costume In Which n San Fran
cisco Woman Appeared.

The recent announcement that Mrs
Frederick Castle, formerly Miss Ella
O'Brien Of Alameda, Cal. had deserted
her husband in Chicago and become
high priestess Of the Koreshan unity,
has revived interest in the career of that
fascinating and eccentric young woman.
The temperance Of Mrs. Castle, for
merly Miss o Brien, recalls to the men,
Dry Of her acquaintance an incident Of
her history which first brought her into
public attention. Miss O'Brien was re-
spected by the members of the school
department and its patrons for her clev-
erness in imparting knowledge. The
young people with whom she associated
were on pleasure bent, and stories were
circulated of midnight champagne sup
pers and select parties.
Once masquerade ball was held at
Harmony hall which was very swell
affair. Everybody was there, including
Miss o Brien and her set. There were
many daring innovations in the way of
costumes, some of which were conspic-
uous because Of the richness and guam
tity of the material of which they were
composed. Then there were costumes
which were mainly conspicuous by lack
of material. Miss O'Brien wore one of
these. Dame Fashion had Heretofore
controlled her attire, but upon this &C.
casion she burst forth in natural lowell
ness and appeared as butterfly. The
school authorities began an investiga-
ton. The fact was revealed that the
butterfly queen was the wife of Freder-
lex Castle. She had been married by
contract. She had gained unenviable
notoriety and soon after departed

cessfully employed as the decoration of
baby cots and baskets. Charming illus
trations are afforded in some nursery
fitments Of English manufacture, but so
simple any American mother can easily
duplicate them.
One of these models is q baby cot
standing on white enameled mounts.
The baby blue linen employed in drap-
ing it is embroidered with swallows in
white and blue flax, the blues merging
from deep indigo to pale ciel, and it is
further trimmed with blue and white
handmade pillow lace manufactured Of
flax thread. The curtains, the hounce
surrounding the hammock portion of
the cot and the little cover correspond
in style, and bows of blue ribbon give a
pretty finish to all. The hounce has q
couple of rows of lace just eased on.
Corresponding with the baby cot de-
scribed is dainty basket, also mounted
on white enamel standard and dedi-
Gated to the requirements Of the young
PERSONS toilet. Like the cot, this basket
is draped with "baby blue" linen, also
embroidered with swallows and trim
med with lace. Two inner corners are
fitted with pockets, the remaining two
with pincushions. The edge of the bas-
ket is prettily finished with a ruche of
linen fulled on, and the founce has, in
accordance with the style of the cot, a
couple of rows of lace. The linen cover
to lay on the top of the basket is en-
broidered with birds to match the gen
eral get up of the set.
When convenient to do so, both cot
and basket may be mounted on casters,
which render their being moved about
with greater ease. A baby's set in linen
is pleasing change from the ordinary
muslin and sateen arrangements. More
over, the linen is far more durable and
