"Milligan had heard all about Kan

but, like every other man, he wondered
if he would be able to get drink pro-

which he didn't, as I've said
"Well, he was riding on the train,
and they'd been in Kansas about half an
hour when the train reached Coulter
junction. 1t had to stop there to change
engines, and Milligan got out and walk
ed up and down the platform, sizing up
the town. 1t was the first prohibition
town he'd ever seen.
"A fellow with suit of overalls was
standing on the platform. Milligan
went up to him and said, This is Kan

Right you are, this fellow says.

No. but just wondered if could

Milligan up to the end of the platform
where they could see along the main

FOB LITTLE FOLKS.
THE THREE GOATS.

They Got Into Turnip Patch, and Only
the Busy Little Bee Got Them Out.
There was once boy who had three
goats. All day they leaped and pranced
and skipped and climbed up on the
rocky hill, but at night the boy drove
them home. One night when he went
to meet them the frisky things leaped
into a turnip field and he could not get
them out. Then the boy sat down on
the hillside and cried.
As he sat there a hare came along
"Why do you cry?" asked the hare
81 cry because can't get the goats
out of the feld,'' answered the boy.
''I'n do it, said the hare. So he
tried, but the goats would not come.
Then the hare, too, sat down and cried.
Along came a fox. "Why do you
cry?' asked the fox.
''I am crying because the boy cries.
said the bare, land the boy is crying
because he cannot get the goats out of
the turnip field
"I'll do it, :" said the fox.
So the fox tried, but the goats would
not come. Then the fox also sat down
and cried.
Soon after a wolf came along. "Why
do you cry?" asked the wolf.
81 am crying because the hare cries.
said the fox. land the hare cries be-
cause the boy cries, and the boy cries
because he can't get the goats out of the
turnip field. -
''I'll do it," said the wolf. He tried,
but the goats would not leave the field.
So he sat down beside the others and
began to cry too.
After little bee few over the hill
and saw them all sitting there crying
''Why do you cry?" said the bee to the
wolf
81 am crying because the fox cries,
and the fox cries because the hare cries,
and the hare cries because the boy cries,
and the boy cries because he can't get
the goats out of the turnip field.''
''I'll do it" said the bee. Then the
big animals and the boy all stopped
crying a moment, to laugh at the tiny
bee. He do it, indeed, when they could

GIRLS DRESS.

in Paris A gentleman, having discharged
cook for excellent reasons, was applied
to by letter for information with regard to
her character. He replied, also by letter,
that she was wasteful, impertinent and in
clined to drink. The cook brought imme-
diate suit against him, and he had to pay
damages. Now, it was imprudent of him
to tell the truth about the girl; but, on
the other hand, is it right to give a bad serv-
ant good character and so insure her ad-
mission to families where she may con-
tinue her undesirable proceedingsP The
question is complicated one, and persons
who can avoid it altogether by dispensing
with hired personal service are well off.
The sketch given today shows girls
costume having q skirt of pearl gray crepon
trimmed with narrow dark blue velvet,
the upper band forming scallops and choux.
The bodice of blue velvet has puffed plas-
tron of white mousseline de sole gathered
under blue velvet bands. The close sleeves
of gray crepon are trimmed with bands of
blue velvet at the wrists and have ruff1ed
sleeve caps similarly adorned. With this
gown is worn a hat of blue straw trimmed
with blue satin and cowslips.

Gave Back
My, Health.

There is noreason for being despondent
and considering diseases of the blood
incurable, simply because the treatment
of physicians and many so-ca11ed blood
remedies fail to effect a cure. Though
it is naturally disheartening to the suf-
ferer who faithfully takes the prescribed
treatment of the physicians, often at the
expense of hundreds of dollars, to find
himself. no better as time goes
by, still cure will result from the right
remedy, S.S.S., no matter what other
treatment has failed.
The reason that S.S.S. (Swift's Spe-
cihc) has so successfully cured even the
worst cases after other treatment had
been tried in vain is that it is the only
remedy which forces the poison from
the blood and permanently eliminates
it from the system, which is the only
correct principle of curing the disease.
Mercuria1 remedies bottle up the poison
and tear down the system, while S.S.S.
forces out the poison and builds up and
adds strength and vigor to the entire
system. 1t is natures remedy, and con-
tains no harmful ingredient.

never worn until maturity, the foot would
be uncomfortable, it is true, and some
what injured, but having had it's natural
development before being exposed to un-
natural conditions, it would not be apt to
be ruined by conventional treatment. In
the first place, the wearing of leather
shoes, or even kid ones, should be post
poned as long as possible. The baby's
shoes should be first of worsted, then of
cloth, close enough not to slip, but con-
forming to the shape of the foot. The
cloth shoes should be kept on to the latest
age that they can be worn, and after that
soft kid should be adopted. The soles may
be as strong and thick as use demands,
but the rest of the shoe should be soft and
pljab]e. Short shoes deform the joints,
narrow ones produce corns, very loose ones
likewise cause corns and chafe the foot as
well as wear out the stocking. A we'll
made shoe, which fits the foot and does
not squeak, costs more than a common
one chosen at hazard, but it also wears
much longer and looks better while it
lasts. Those parts of the wardrobe which
affect the physical comfort and the shape
of the body are the parts which require the
most careful attention and are worthy of
the most pecuniary outlay where the ques-
tion of money has to be considered.
An illustration is given today which
shows a summer cape of black satin. 1t
is moderately full and is ornamented with
revers and double epaulets of heavy Isigny
guipure applied over red lining. A
ruche of black mousseline de sole trims
the front, the collar and Stimulates point
ed yoke at the back, descending in front
in accompaniment to the revers. The cape
is fastened by bows of black satin, held by
buckles of steel or jet. The crevelated COL
lar of red silk is covered with guipure, and
the lining is of white satin.

CHARMING COiORS.
Straw Color For Brunettes-Light Shade
For Pale People.

Straw Color For Brunettes-Light Shades
For Pale People.
Narrow bands of black velvet on straw
colored gauze or silk are very fashionable
and straw gowns or bodices thus trimmed
are charming in effect, both for brunettes
and red haired women. 1t used to be said
that the same color as that of the hair was
to be chosen for daylight wear and the
same color that of the eyes for evening.
This is rule which insures one against
mistakes and unbecoming tinJs, but it is
moro rigid than is necessary. If it were
implicitly followed, black eyed brunettes
would be entirely confined to black cloth
ing, which is becoming to them, but not
to be adopted without change. The chief
thing to be considered in choosing colors
is the complexion, except in the case of red
hair, which is so much the most obvious
note of personal color that it has to be al
lowed the principal weight in the matter.
Putting, therefore, red haired persons aside
as a special class to be separately consid
cred, the tone Of the skin Is the best guide
to the selection of tints for the wardrobe.
Some dark haired people are charming In
blues and lavenders, some light haired ones
In reds and yellows. Very pale shades Of
any color require a fair, smooth skin.
Light green, light violet and light yellow
have the effect of giving pale skin rosy

A Wonderful Clock.

Two years ago South Chicago jew
eler did some figuring. He calculated
that he would in all probability live 40
years. He knew that it takes at least
two minutes to wind the ordinary house
clock. At that rate he figured that he
would, during the rest of his life, spend
about go days of his valuable time
winding the clock, to say nothing of
the time and temper lost through for
getting it. Then he decided to make a
clock that would have to be wound but
once in 40 years.
He spent his odd minutes at the task
and has succeeded in producing won
derful piece of mechanism-the only
one of its kind, he claims, in the world.
This 40 year timepiece is 5 inches in
diameter and weighs 70 pounds. The
movement is geared so that the barrel
wheel containing the handspring re-
wolves once in az years.
When this wheel has made Sc revolu-
tions, somebody will have to give the
key II turns. The clock will then be
wound up for another 40 years. The
first wheel from the barrel wheel crowds
around at the rate Of one turn a year.
The dial plate is six inches in diameter
The making of the work took most

The movement is full jeweled. The

ed glass case, and it will work in vac

venting the oil from drying. ng.-Philadel
