CREDIT SHE DIDN'T SEEK.
Embarrassing POsftiOn of an Absent.
Minded Woman Who Had Made
q Mistake.

A lady who keeps a summer boarding
house at the seashore near Boston went
iown the other day to look the house over
md find out what must be renewed. She
found numerous umbrellas left by former
boarders, says the Boston Transcript, and
tying them together, she took the bundle
to Boston to have them repaired. She
stopped in at Hovey's and laid the bundle
on the floor at her feet at the counter.
When she had made her purchase, she for.
got her umbrellas, and absent mindedly
picked up an umbrella lying on the eoun-
ter, thinking it was hers, or not thinking
at all, and started off.
Them the owner of the umbrella, WON.
IN standing next her, seized her and said
very sharply: "You have taken my UNI
brella" Of course she apologized, feeling
much cut up about it, and went on forget
ting in her fuster her own bundle of UNI
brellas. The next day, on her way to Cam
bridge, she went to Hovey's and readily
recovered her lost package of umbrellas,
which had been kept for her. On the car
for Cambridge she noticed lady cycling her
very closely. Presently this lady leaned
forward and said to her, with elegant en-
phasis:
"You seem to have been more fortunate
to-day!"
1t was the lady whose umbrella she had
taken the day before.

FOR MALARIA,
cHILLS and fever.
The Best Prescription Is Groves
Tasteless Chill Tonic.
The Formula Is Plainly Printed on Every Bottle,
So That the People May Know Just
What They Are Taking.

Imitators do not advertise their formula
knowing that you would not buy their medi-
cine if you knew what it contained. Groves
contains Iron and Quinine put up in correct
proportions and is in Tasteless form. The
Iron acts as a tonic while the Quinine drives
the malaria out of the system. Any reliable
druggist will tell you that Groves is the
Original and that all other so-called "Taste-
less" chill tones are limitations An analysis
Of other chill tonics shows that Groves is
superior to all others in every respect. You are
not experimenting when you take Grove's-its
superiority and excellence having long been
established. Groves is the only Chill Cure sold
throughout the entire malarial sections of the
United States. No Cure, No Pay. Price, soc.

CHOATE AND THE BABY.
The American Ambasaad0r's Nail
Head Wit In an Address in "a
England.

Lately, at the opening of free library at
Acton, England, Hon. Joseph H. Choate,
the American ambassador to Great Britain,
delivered an address, and caused much
laughter by his impromptu references to a
baby who persisted in distracting the at
tention of the audience by making its voice
heard at the most inconvenient moments,
says the San Francisco Argonaut. The first
Interruption occurred early in the speech.
Mr.. Choate was saying: "There is spe-
cial provision for children in your library,
and I think when men come to make i
choice of residence in Acton they will
not forget that fact" Here the baby
screamed in such manner as-to drown the
words of the speaker. There was some dis
turbance, but Mr.. Choate said: Don't be
disturbed by the baby. Nobody knows bet
ter than my Lord Bishop. that out of the
mouths Of babes and sucklings cometh wis
DOM" Things went fairly well after this,
the baby appearing to be fattered by the
reference, until Mr.. Ghoate was saying:
'There is book with which all of you"
Here the baby walled loudly. Except, pos
sibly, the baby-are familiar" the ambassa.
dor went on; sit is Ecclesiastes, and it says
that of the making of books there is no end
