One of them had a real football
head of hair while the other wore a
carnation in his button hole and could
with difficulty see over his own collar.
And the girl who sat Immediately
back of them on the grip heard what
they were saying.
You didn't seem to get on very well
with that college girl at the dinner
last night, said the youth in the sweat
err. Did she want somebody else to
take her in?
She seemed well enough pleased at
first, said he of the collar gloomily.
Then how did you happen to fall
down?
Well, she said she despised people
who pretend to be what they are not.
And you agreed with her?
Well, saw no reason to disagree
with a girl whose father is worth 49,
100000 and who is good looking
enough for girl without a cent to
her name.
Good; old boy. What did she say
then?
Said she was glad to meet one per-
son who was willing to pass for what
he really was and not affect to know
more than he did. After that we got
on like house afire.
That must have been before caught
sight of you.
Perhaps it was. Then we got to
talking about book we had both
read and I made use of a French
phrase which seemed to describe it
better than anything else.
And wasn't she pleased with that?
I guess so, but was the end Of it.
Phaw, you're off your base. How
could that end it?
She said: Oh you speak French,
don't you? How nice! and began to
rattle it off like steam engine.
Well, but you
had said the only French phrase I
knew.

Olga Nethersole is beyond question the
greatest English speaking, emotional actress
of the present day. Everyone who witnesses
the tremendous expenditure of nervous energy
incident to her wonderful performances, re-
allies the excessive nervous strain and tension
incurred and the consequent loss of nerve
force and physical strength. No one, there
quickly restores and recuperates loss of nerv-
Gus energy and power than she, and no one is
more competent to advise those whose nerves
weak, who are ill, out of order or run
down in nerve or physical strength, just how
to be restored to health and vigor. She tells
everybody to use DR.. Greene's Nervura blood
and nerve remedy, for she knows that this
grand medicine is the best thing in the world
to make people well and strong.
Miss Nethersole says 81 have used DIR.

SOME SHORT SMILES.

Ehe young Methodist minister who
hal just been appointed to the Wolf
mountain circuit conceived the idea OF
establishing a mission in the Cornjuice
neighbOrhOod, and one Sunday rode
over the ridge to investigate the field.
Along in the afternoon he approached q
cabin with swayback roof and de-
crepit stick and dirt chimney, with
large. sooty holes in its sides, from
which the smoke escaped without the
trouble of ascending to the top. He
drew up in front of the cabin and
shouted:
"Hellof'
The door opened, and a redheaded
woman, with great snuff stick in her
mouth, appeared and answered:

ed in paper presented by Mrs. M.

Rev. I. P. Chase introduced the sub
ject of ''Monthly conservation meet
ings," and short discussion follow

worth Lacquer" In reply to this ques-
ton, Mrs. Drumming told of two pas
tors who helped league by being in
sympathy and working with them.
The subject, Chow can the League
help the PASTOR" was introduced.
Rev. o. E. Newton was asked to speak
and responded briefly. After other
brief remarks the afternoon session
closed.
In the evening Rev. Chase and
Rev. Johnson reported rallies held at
Newport and East Charleston. Rep
resentatives of the Leagues present

for them. Mr.. Brazelle has gone fur

discoveries by actual experiment which
overtuTn the entire science of chemis-

gravitation. \ company with a large
capital has commenced the erection of
a plant at Fair Lawn. st. Louis county

BY actual test Mr.. Brazelle has changed

has made-a mere nothing in compari-

The key to the secret of all the pheno-
