Her Great Need.

Every woman ought to pay reason
able degree of attention to her person.
and especially to having her hair neatly
and becomingly dressed.
Two days after a great fire had dew
asted north country village worthy
philanthropist Of the place was serving
out clay pipes and tobacco as relief for
the poor homeless men when young
woman presented herself before him.
The line, of course, had been made up
Of men, and the donor asked the girl,
who was extremely pretty and refined in
appearance, what she wanted with a
pipe. She blushed and repeated her re-
quest.
"Why, you do not smokep said the
worthy philanthropist.

''If You will tell me what you are 60
ing to do with it, IN give you one 4"
The girl hesitated, and then, raising
her hand to the fringe of her hair that
hung limp over her forehead, she said:
II want to curl my fringe F"
She got the stem of the broken pipe
and went away laughing. She had beer

hours before and was then almost OF

A certain man who owns q row Of
dwelling houses over in the northwest
quarter of the town has learned wisdom
by bitter experience. A friend Of mine
went to him not long ago to rent one of
the houses.
s'Do you lease it by the month or by
the year," she inquired.
"That depends on what you are going
to have ON your floors, answered the
landlord ''Are you going to have car
pets?"
NO." answered my friend; eve

You'll have to sign years lease
them" the landlord made reply, smil-
ing craftily IF you bought carpets and
had them fitted to the floors, / know
you'd stay in the house as long as You
could, but these rugs are too easily ad-
justed to any sized room. You'll have
to sign years lease if You have rugs.
There are seven houses in my row, and
six of them haven { kept q tenant longer
than two years at time for the last five
years. The seventh honeywell, the
people in it had carpets made and laid

1t Was Play For Him.

The train ran off the track and plung-
ed down steep embankment.
Engine, baggage car, coaches and
sleepers were jumbled in one awful
mass.
The groans of the injured passengers
rent the air.
1t was frightful.
Jones, the world renowned half back,
partially awoke.
Three passenger cars were piled on
top of him.
A piece of pipe was coiled around his
neck.
The rim OF enc of the great driving
wheels of the engine rested on his face.
His legs were pinned down by a
heavy beam.
A pillow had been forced against his
mouth and nose, making it impossible
for him to breathe.
His arms were pressed against his
sides, and he tried in vain to move.
But willing hands were at work 1pon
the wreck, and at last Jones, the world
renowned half back, was dragged out.
Looking around, in a dazed sort OF
way, at his rescuers, he asked:
"How many yards did we gain ON
that down, boys?'-Cleveland Leader

It was at the busiest hour of the bust
est day the store had seen in long
time, and the busiest place in all the
store was the lace department.. Four
women, four frantically eager women,
were waiting. The fifth woman had the
only saleswoman at that end of the
counter and was looking at lace, real
lace. / think she must have examined a
dozen pieces. The four women seemed
ON the verge of apoplexy.
Haven't you something wider!'
asked the fifth woman.
Certainly, answered the tired sales
woman, dragging out another box.
"This is $l5 yard.
The eyes of the fifth woman glistened.
EYES," she said to her companion,
"that's like mine. ] just wanted to
know what he paid for 1t. That's all. !"

Scratehes In Horses.

In rainy weather, when there Is plen-
ty Of mud, unless care is taken TO clean
it Of and wipe the feet dry the horses
are liable TO be attacked with scratches
or grease heel. II the legs get muddy
and the animal gets heated and then is
put into cold stable without cleaning
of to get cold and shiver, conditions
arc supplied that are favorable for the
development of this disease. Allowing
the horses to get fat and to stand in the
stables with no exercise and upon pile
Of heating is also favorable TO this dis
ease. Prevention is much easier than
cure. A proper regard for comfort and
cleanliness will readily prevent this die
ease.
When the horses come In at night, IL
the legs are wet or muddy they should
be carefully washed off in tepid water
and then wiped dry with a cloth. If
the scratches appear, as soon as the fact
Is ascertained wash the feet with tepid
water and CASTLE soap and then wipe
dry. II there is inflammation, make a
hot poultice and sprinkle finely pow
dered charcoal over it, applying one in
the morning and renewing 1t at night
until the inflammation subsidies Then
apply = lotion made of one ounce OF sug-
ar Of lead dissolved in pint of water
When it begins to heal, use veterinary
vaseline. Continue the treatment until
thoroughly cured. Keep the horse quiet
and supply sufficient bedding to keep
the feet clean. II taken in hand at the
first stages, washing clean with warm
water and CASTLE soap, wiping dry and
applying veterinary vaseline will effect
q cure In three or four days. In severe
cases in addition to the treatment given
1t may be necessary to give good ca.

wabbied When He Came to Postum.


Old Uncle Claybrook is a very reli-
gious old darky and holds converse
with his Maker twenty times day or
oftener. His habit is to pray and then
turn off into what appears to be one
sided conversation with the Lord, but
it is evident that there is another party
to it as far as he is concerned. To hear
him reminds one very much of tele-
phone conversation.
The other day he was going through
his customary devotions, and when he
got TO the point of expressing thankful
ness for the many blessings of life he
broke off into recounting of them,
says Cicero T. Sutton of the Owens
boro Inquirer. "An den, OARS possum,
Lord-how'd you ever think of maxim
possum? Postum jes' beats all. You
jes' couldn't beat it eff you tried ag'in.
Postum, he, he Yes, dar's watahmil-
lion. l hadn't thought of dat. Hits ies'
great. You couldn't beat hit neither,
could you, Lord? Now. homes couldn'
you jes' fix it so dey bofe git ripe at
oncet? Eff You was to do dat, you mought
go out an shet de do. Dey wouldn't be
no mo- sin an no mo- sorrow an no mo-
tribelation. Jes' try hit oncet, Lord, an
jes' see whit diffunce hit would
make.
And then "old uncle" began to hum
q quaint negro camp meeting tune and
stopped to look at a piece of liver in a
butchers stall as the best substitute for
his loved possum or as best suited to
the small piece of money which repre-
sented his total movable wealth.

FRANkLIN's GRAVE.
Reasons Given For Allowing 10 tn Remain
In Its Present Condition.


Benjamin Franklin's grave is in
neglected condition. No appropriate
stone rises over it. the ground round
about il is uncared for, and the tomb of
the great scholar and statesman is as
obscure as that of man whose name
and fame were no part of the glory OF
his country.
His grave is destitute even of head
stone. II is covered by an old fashioned
marble slab which was placed there 100
years ago and is now worn and discol-
0red by age.
Nothing mas been done To IL since
Franklin was buried there, and even
the modest arrangements of the grave
are not kept in the perfect condition
that is expected of a great mans tomb.
The earth OH all sides is bare of grass,
the common matching Of the common
est grave, and an air of desolation is
about the whole place
The sexton said that the descendants
of Franklin would not do anything to
repair the grave; neither would they al
low anybody else to do anything. Ev
cry day he has received offers of sub
scriptions from visitors, who are dis
tressed by the forlorn appearance OF
Franklin's resting place and who would
| like TO SEQ it improved. In reply he
says, as he has been instructed. that
| Franklin wished it so, "being plain
man averse to display of any kind !"
| Not long ago, at his own expense. he
had the fading inscription recut, or else
even the only distinguishing mark, the
name, would be gone
| II he had not done so, the last rest
ing place of the greatest man, outside
| Of Washington, in American history
would have been forgotten and un-
known. Who is responsible for this con-
dition of affairs? Not the living rela.
tives of Franklin. The responsibility
rests with the American people, tc
whom the man belongs. They should
see to it in the future that what little IL
there to mark the grave is kept in bet
ter order than it has been in the past.
Before he died Franklin provided fol
his own gravestone and instructed 9
stonecutter of his acquaintance III every
detail, even to the inscription which
was to be placed upon it. He desired t.
be buried beside his wife, who hat
died some years before, and common
slab was to be placed over them both
The inscription arranged as he ordered

stomachs full and their minds cowed.
There never has been, and there never
will be, say some. an appeal made to
the lions intelligence, because the linn
