Pepsin preparations often fail to re
lieve indigestion because they can digest
only albuminous foods. There is one
preparation that digests all classes OF
food, and that is Kodol Dyspepsia Cure.
1t cures the worst cases of indigestion
and gives instant relief, for it digests
what YOU eat.

Lincoln Thompson, the young man
from Klickitat county who became
insane while here last week, was taken
to the Medical Lake asylum last Satur-
day by sheriff Tucker. c. f.. Thomp-
son, brother of the insane man, came
here last Friday and decided the best
thing to do was to take his brother
away for the present. Accordingly an
examination was made of the afflicted
by the proper officials and he was de-
clared insane by Judge Rudkin.

Uncle Jerry Ardhedd had two neigh

siaI turn. One was q man who con-
tended that nothing could be posi-
lively known that was not capable of
absolute proof or mathematical dem
onstration; the other was disposed to
dogmatize about everything.
They met at his house one evening,
and a long argument on things theo-
logical and otherwise ensued between
the two, with the customary result.
Neither of the disputants succeeded in
convincing the other.

the woman who is her own maid eXpe-
riences many an unhappy quarter Of
an hour. Even if the bodice is secured
| in front there are usually lacings or
fastenings at the side, and the collar
band is a thing by itself, for it closes
not in front with the rest of the gown,
but at the back with almost impossible
hooking. No more ingenious devices
for killing time could well be found
than the buttoning, hooking and pin
ming that go with a trinity turned out
ensemble.

and graceful, is the French gown of the

edged with chantilly lace.
The popularity Of foulard is unbound

utility and wearableness to it's beauty.
This costume illustrates, too, the dec
orative value of openWork herringbOn-

skirts of moderate length this tasteful
stitchery 1mparts a particular cachet.
There is no doubt, then, as to the crea-

"AH right That's two weeks pin
money. I'll call your hand"
Mr. Bowser laid down two big pairs
with sugary smile around his mouth
and was going to ask if she had ever
heard Of bluff when she showed
flush of hearts and held out her hand
for the money.
'How-how did you get any such
hand?' he demanded as his face grew
red and he regarded her with deep dis
trust.
''You dealt it to me. When [ stood
pat, you ought to have known that

''But how did 1 know that you knew
anything about pat hands? 1t was all
an accident, however, and it won't
happen again. Deal away"
This time Mr.. Bowser got a pair of
aces to draw to, and Mrs. Bowser got
only queen high. He got small pair
with his three cards, and she had the
luck to draw two more queens. He
was determined to crush her at
blow, and he said:
'"No baby business now. I'll bet SIC

said.
"But how can you" he shouted.

But Mrs. Bowsef maintained her
health. When he laid down two pairs,
she laid down threes, and his chin was
shaking as he exclaimed:
"There's skulduddery here some
where, but I shall soon get on to il!
No human being ever held two such
hands running. Give me the deal"
Wonderful luck attended Mrs. Bow
sers hands. On the third deal she got
a straight, while Mr. Bowser goI
threes. When she announced that she'd
stand pat again, he looked at her for q
minute and made up his mind that she
had heard of "bluffs" somewhere and
was trying it on him. He didn't better
his hand, but he thought threes good
enough to see her bet of S. and raise

The other day Margery, Bessie and

was a quiet child, a little younger than
the others, but Bessie and Polly were
trimming over with mischief. After
awhile, finding the game dull, Bessie
edged over to Polly and began to whis-

and Margery looked uncomfortable.
The giggliDg and the whispering con-
tinued until finally little Margery left
her toys and came over to see if she

ancient church Easter lasted for eight
days. After the eleventh century it
was changed to three days and later
to two days.
The courts of justice were closed and
aims given to the poor, who even
feasted in the churches, and as the peo-
pie went home the y gave themselves up
to enjoyment astle day was sometimes
called "Sunday of JOY"
In our time the people celebra it
in memory of the resurrection OF Jesus
from the grave. The churches are
trimmed with plants and lilies, being
token of purity and holiness. Prayer
meetings are held in the early dawn of
Easter'morning. The minister preach
es to his people about Christ and the
resurrection and songs of JOY and
praise are sung. Slaves were even
free on Easter so that they might go
to church and then they would listen
with pride because they were free from
the labor on this dear day.

and eat bread without yeast and they

Christmas hung on a cross to fer
for our sins, that we might be saved.
On each side of Christ hung two rob-
