A boy scholar in One of the down
town grammar schools has set his
teacher wondering whether he is one
of the unsophisticated students of the
age or a real humorist. At a recent
monthly examination one of the Ques-
tions in physiology the pupils were
called upon to answer was: What is
the patella or knee PAM" The answer
of Young Innocent or joker was this:
THE patellas or knee pants is trousers
which extend from the waste to the
knee, and We're worn by grown up men
during george Washington's Admins
tratiOn. They are not worn by men
in the present Time except bicycle rid
ers and men who play golf, but are
only worn by small Boys. Evry Boy
is glad when he is old enough to take
off his p~atellas OF knee pants and go
into long pants which extend from the
waste to the Observation-Disclosures

CATARRH
PANAcEA FOR PovERrY's ILLe
Sure Cure for Mandicnncy Discovered hy
Charity Agent

ChArity hEon6
One of the agents Of Chicago's great
est charitable organization has found
a specific remedy for the starvation
and tho suffering of the poor in winter.
The directing heads Of the organiza-
ton have such a keen sense of the
humorous hal they have forwarded
the report Of their agent, in which his
remedy was set forth, to the people
who had requested that a certain case
be Investigated. Some North Side wo-
men became interested in the case Of
a man who, in the face Of i'll health
and with the handicap of a large and
growing family of children, was strug-
Cling to make a livelihood. The wo-
men put their hands to their purses
and aided in that way. but that wa
not what the man wanted. He wanted
work indoors SO that he could keep his
health and not be laid up every week
or two as the result of exposure. He
was a %peddler, and by toiling from
the rising to the setting Of the sun he
managed to earn a few cents profit.
There was never on any day of the
year enough of a margin to give the
family three satisfying meals. The
children's clothes were ragged and
there was scant covering at night, not
withstanding the constant toiling Of
the father. The interested women ap-
pealed to the charitable organizations
to try to secure inside work for the
worthy man that would pay enough to
give adequate food and shelter to his
family. An agent was dispatched to
look up the case. His report was turn
ed in and was sent last week to the
charitable North Side women. 1t con-
tanned this comment and this recipe
for the removal of the poverty ills of
the peddler. 81 have seen Mr.. O'Hooli-
han. He is honest, hard working and
worthy. AS a way out of his troubles
! would suggest that he saw enough
in summer to carry his family through
the winter. "-Chicago Tribune.

LIFE GRADUALLY UENGTHENING.

Recent statistics prove hat the aver
age health and length of life of human
beings have grown stronger and long
er with the years. In the fifteenth CEN
fury, there was not to be found a man
or woman oyer sixty years Of age. 1t
is clearly demonstrated that the change
for the better has been brought about
by modern ideas and methods. One
of the agents which has been most in
strumental in preserving life is Hos
letters Stomach Bitters. Thousands
have died from stomach and digestive
disorders, who might have survived
had they resorted to the Bitters. 1t is
the greatest of known tones for stom-
ach and digestive organs. 1t cures dys-
pepsia, indigestion and constipation,
and has done so for the past fifty years.
There is nothing to equal It.

SMALL BOY WAS CAREFUL.
Did Not Want to Violate the Law by
SmnshInK tho Truck.

Smashing tho Truck.
The narrow strip Of asphalt which
the city laid in Michigan avenue from
Randolph to River streets for the ben
eft of cyclists is a constant zone OF
contention. All of the traffic in tho
dictrict is of the heaviest kind, the
great trucks Of the wholesale houses
constantly passing and repassing, and
most of the drivers sho wing a decided
preference for running the wheels on
one side of their trucks on the asphalt
strip. A battered tandem on which
two small boys were mounted wound
its sinuous way among the trucks the
other day, in momentary danger Of be-
ing wiped off tho map by a three
horse team. The lads tried to stick to
the asphalt track as long as possible,
but a heavily loaded truck held the
right of way in front Of them. Hey,
there" yelled the steersman of the
tandem. The driver turned slowly
around and looked over the heavy load
to see what was the matter. Pull
out, will your" yelled the lad In a
shrill treble. The driver smiled and
turned to his three horses again. Say,
pull out Of there" demanded the lad.
