will remember the time
NH when "Coxey' reached
the town. 1t was soon
after the army of va
- grants made its famous
march to Washington.
This incident was still
fresh in the minds of the local philoso-
piers who sat OH the dry goods boxes
at the company store, and so, when one
afternoon IL strange looking character
passed down Carbon street, and some
one asked. What will we call him.
the unanimous answer was: "CoXey"
Indeed the name did not seem un-
suited to the odd wanderer who passed
by with a gait that suggested familiar
ity with much foottravel. He was a
middle-aged man. thin and angular in
all his outlines. with an ef-like face,
and wonderful bushy Whiskers. His
long moustache, waNed with more pro-
fuseness than neatness. was only sur
passed by the matted bunch of hair on
his chin that terminated in "a point
drawn so sharply that it looked as If it
ought on occasion to be used as an

the bizarre appearance of the vagrant,
and carrying u banjo under his arm
at a "reverse arms position, he strut
ted along like a soldier on duty.
1t was not long before "CoXey" was
looked upon as one of the chara acters
of the town. Where he slept at night
nobody knew--some said he did not
sleep at all; but after awhile it became
generally known that he, among other
things, was Il painter. This was cor
roborated the following week by his
appearance. brush in hand on the stee-

him nothing short of marvellous.

lowering his husky, voice, lie hissed
mysteriously: .Mebbe I was a pirate.

funny, cracking, laugh when he heard
that Jim Marshall said he was Il re-
formed pirate.
But drunken and eccentric as he
was, there was Il gentle side to
CoXey's nature. The children did not
fear him for all his strange appear

is very Pretty invention. But the real
fairy god-notiier is tue natural mother
of the child. 1t is she who must endow
her child with health from which
springs all other endowments desirable
for humanity.
The way to have healthy children is
to be healthy. But how to be healthy
is the vexing question for women. Is

woman whose only failing is that she does
not know how to change her condition.
Yet wornan's health is practically in

weaken women, heals inflammation and
cures female weakness. It is the best

The Chan6elin6 Child.
The Scientific Explanation Of
the Change Formerly At
tributed to the Fairies.

In folk lore stories there is frequent
mention of changelings children who
were changed by fairy influence. Some
loving wife and proud husband found
their child weak of body, and some
times weak of mind. 1t grew up to
be fretful, sullen and perhaps spiteful.
1t seemed impossible that love could
bring such child into the world.
So the child was called fairy change
ling, child substituted by the fairies
for one whom in their envy for its lovli.
ness they had carried away.
We hear no more of fairy stories.
Stern science says that healthy and
lovely children must have healthy par
ents, and that when the mother in her
days of waiting and anticipation is
