ON THE cANARY-CoLoRED CAR.

After he had been riding for about
ten minutes on the street car the man
with the gloomy face pulled pencil and
paper from his pocket and wrote.
Can you tell me where Jackson street
is?" He tore off the leaf and handed
it to the man who had been looking
off in vacancy and sucking his lips.
The latter read the words and turned
the paper over And wrote: "Sorry to
say / can't" Then No. 1 sat for a
while with added gloom on his brow,
and finally said aloud:

Ditto" replied No. 2.
And then both telescoped themselves
and stared at the advertising signs
and seemed utterly unconscious of the
presence of other people on earth.

A TRAMP'S SOFT SNAP.

I was up in Vermont, near the Ca

farmer offered to let me work for my
board during the winter. AS he had

after | had engaged with him there
came a snow storm. The farmer spoke
of 1t as furry but there was a fall
of eighteen inches. He pointed 20 a
snow shovel and told me to go to work.
l dug paths to the barn, the we'll, the
hencoop and the pigpen, and had just
got through moving about hundred
tons of snow when another furry

My back was still aching when there

homily. THAT is, what we call the
best part while we are still young"
We had first-class carriage to our
selves, and could speak freely. The
girl looked up at me from under her
long lashes with light of expectant
interest in her eyes, Evidently she d.
yined that l meant to follow up my first
sentence with something more partic-
ular than had passed between us be-
fore.
What do we call the best part?" she
lured me on.

body should find out that you had been
maligned; that you were really inno-
cent of-everything, would the lady
you cared for be sorry, do you think,
that she had been unjust and hard?"
1t was on the tip of my tongue to
blurt out that, even if she should re-
pent, after such unbelief, l would not
desire that things should be as of old
between us, since to me Marjorie Tes-
sett could never again be quite the

point, answering merely that in such
an event she might possibly regret her
attitude, though the circumstances

chance, come to pass.

sister; and then the station of Creeslay
came in sight, with Tom Wynyard s
thin, mild face looking wistfully UP at
the train from the platform as our car
riage went slowly past.

to Wynyard by mentioning that
would bring a companion. The fewer
details of the story recorded in black

sons, l had thought; and now | had to
explain the beautiful little being who
hung back a step or two as l greeted
him.

DOAN'S KIDNEY PILLS.
What 1t Means.

That Tired Feeling.
Don't know what it means.
Keeps you awake at night
Destroos daily comfort.
Wearies the body.
You would shake it off
You would be healthful and strong.
SO you can,
If you go at it right.
First learn what it means.
Some say it's bad blood.
Others say it's lazy liver.
They re all wrong.
Tired feeling means tired kidneys.
Just as Lame Back Means Lame Kidneys
And Backache means Kidney Ache.

Because DOANS KIDNEY PILLS cure il.
And they are for Kidneys only.
How can we prove it
Because Wheeling people say SO.
