Too Bad!

The makers of Pride of Japan tree tea)
have advertised that Thos. Price, analytical
chemist of San Francisco, and Prof. 7. T.
Kingsbury of the University of Utah, have
given them certificates that the above brand
of tea is perfectly pure.
The deduction drawn from this ANALYSIS is.
that the Pride of Japan tea which you buy in
the stores is perfectly pure
While it is quite possible to buy pure tea
like SchizAngs Best) and pack it in Pride of
Japan packages, and submit it to chemists for
analysis; still we assert that the Pride of lap:
tea sold in this market is artihcially colored

We don't know how these endorsements
were secured; but it is pity that the names
OF such eminent authorities should be used to
back up statements made in the advertisements
of Pride of Japan.
Schiling's BeH tea is not only guaranteed
pure, but it is such tea as you would drink
yourself if you knew all about it.
Besides it is money-back, and that is backing

THE RISE OF PEGGY.
The Romance of q Little Girl Who
Bugged Potatoes.
BY EMMA NJ. WISE

Peggy knew. when she saw her
father hurrying up the path, that he
was coming to get her to bug potatoes.
This knowledge caused her heart to
swell in fierce rebellion. If there was
any one thing Peggy disliked more
than another it was bugging potatoes.
She sighed ard began to tread with IN
tense interest. where she had left off
a moment before:
Lady Alfreda's beautiful golden hair
was crowned with a tiara of sparkling
diamonds. Her slender white wrists

Peggy, do you hear?" called her
father again.
Peggy gave one more regretful glance
at the paper. with its half-paSe illus
tration. then arose and stalked out into
the yard with sullen slowness. Mr.. Hib-
bard went around behind the smoke
house, whence he presently returned
with two old tin pals and two narrow
wooden paddles, which he set down at
her feet.
II guess you'll have to help me a
little while again today. Peggy" he
said; but it won't be very hard on you.

Peggy looked disconsolately at the

so. Still, even though she might have
made q mistake. she felt that she had
put it pretty strong. And she certainly
had. At least, so it seemed to Mr.. Hib-
bard.
He hurried forward and laid his hand
tremblingly on her shoulder.

afeard you're a losin' your wits, amt

Had not Peggy's heart been steeled
to an extraordinary degree, it would
have been melted by the tender solicit

was. she drew back unresponsive and
regarded him coldly.
No she said, II am not at all sick,
father, and I'm ready to help you
Come on
She gathered up the paddle and pail
allotted to her. and led the way TO the
nearby corner lot. where the hard
shelled black and yellow potato de-
stroyers were making a morning meal
off the tender. juicy leaves. Mr. Hib-
bard followed, as one in a trance
Neither Peggy. nor her father referred
to the momentous subject again that
day. Mr.. Hibbar6's heart and head
were flied with uneasy speculations on
the newly revealed side of his little
daughters nature. He was laboriously
revolving her words in his somewhat

dull mind. and striving to comprehend
their meaning. Until he arrived at a
solution of the problem he would have
nothing to say.
AS for Peggy, she was too busy with
day dreams 10 talk. She felt confident
she was in reality the child of wealthy
parents and that her time was near at
hand when she should come into pos
session of her rightful property. That
was what had happened to Lady Alfre-
da and other lovely heroines of whom
she had read in the weekly illustrated
papers, and it was but natural conc u
sion that she was destined to enjoy the
same good fortune. To be sure. there
were many striking differences between
herself and Lady Alfredo. For instance,
it would require a lively stretch of the
imagination TO transform Peggy's scant,
ragged locks into the luxuriant trsss IS
of which Lady Alfredo boosted, and the
fancy that could see in Peggy's red,

more elastic.
Peggy unceremoniously dropped her
pail. much 10 the discontinue of the
Gagged colony of potato bugs, when she
realized this, and stuck her unprepos-
sessinghands behind her back for very
shame.

The next morning they anchored
about 10 o'clock opposite the campong
of the rajah. 1t was a good deal larger
than any that they had passed on the
way up, but the houses were mere
huts. with the exception of a large
wooden structure, which they at once

She was not quite sure whether these

used when declaring to her captors her

to be her relatives, she would repeat
