"And you came cut Of foEd1e9 for
me-" murmured the plain girl, her voice
shaking with laughter that was almost
choking her. I muttered the biggest
lie l had ever parted with.
The hairy individual rested his gun

lifting his slouch hat to the plain girl,
said, For your sake, l PROMISE"
lifted my helmet to the beauty"
and said something similar. A few
minutes later, as l was buckling my
girth, heard him galloping off south

l swung up into the saddle, the plain
sister slipped away, and the beauty"
lifted her hand in farewell. AS our
hands met, she said, why did you

HIS FELLOW MAH

try to love my fellow man,
always DO the best l can,
E'en though he whistles night and X on
Some fercely eXccrable tune;
Zen though he be the motorman
WHO grins whene'er he balks my plan
To board his swiftly speeding car
Which | had heralded afar;
Though he be one of those who say
Just what the plot is at the play
And taps his foot against my chair
Until he drives me to despair:
Though he be up at early dawn
TO shovel snow or NOW the lawn,
l love him still. l do my best,
But, oh, it is fearful test!

DON'T FUSS AND FRET.

Il doesn't pay to fuss and fret when
anything goes wrong.
Instead of wailing when you lose, just
sing merry song.
It's always better while you work to
whistle than 10 whine,
And when luck fsils, it never pays to
sit down and repine.
The man who makes the best of things
shows sturdy common sense.
: The chances are that he will rise to
fame and eminence;
But if he doesn't. none the less he'll
make the most of life,
And women will envy and congratulate
his wife.

JUST A TRIFLE GAUDY.
The DAD Mans Opinion of the Circus
Wa&On-MistOOk 1t for
the Hearse.

''It's a hard hfe," declared the old
man, land 1 always say at the close
Of every season that l am through
with it. But there is something in
the life, the smell of the sawdust
ring, the glitter and noise, the chang
ing scene, that appeals to man who
has once been in the business, and it
is seldom that one leaves the life
until death steps in. There is good
deal of humor in the business, too,
as we are brought into contact with
all sorts and conditions of men.
Il am reminded of a funny thing
that happened to me a good many
years ago when such thing as NOV
ing a circus by rail was not thought
of. 1t was part of my work at that
time to drive our great $4,000 cahriot,
not only in the parade, but between
towns as well. What little sleep I
got / had to catch here and there on
my seat while we were on our way
to another town. One night my doze
turned into a sound sleep, and when
I awoke discovered that the team,
left without driver, had turned into
a farm yard and come to a stop be-
fore a haystack, where they were
quietly eating. While was rubbing
my eyes and trying to grasp the sit
uation the old man who owned the
hay came out where was and walked
around the chariot and looked it
over with critical eye.
"'Well,' said I, with a grin, what
do you think of it?'
"'Gosh,' said he, 'ain't hit trifle
bit gaudy?'
"'Well, what do you expect?' said
I, Indignantly, at this implied refec-
ton upon the great moral show that
I represented.
"'Well, I suppose it is all right,
answered the old man doubtfully, as
he looked it over once more. 1T
seems ter me that it is jes' bit loud
But 1 suppose I amt used to city
ways
SIT was now my turn to be sur
prised, and I was about to ask him
what he was driving at when he
duueu thdG might as wen uHHltCi
as the funeral wouldn't be until two
in the afternoon
: 'Then there were explanations all
around. 1t seems that the old mans
wife had died and he had sent to the
nearest city for funeral car, and
had mistaken our great $4,000 cha
riot for it. There had been a good
, deal of rivalry in the neighborhood
in regard to funerals, and the old man
had made up his mind to outshine
them all, and I think he was disap-
pointed in the end when he discov.
cred that he had been mistaken"

FACTS ABOUT MYALGIA.
A Muscular Affection That LIS Conn
monty Mistaken for Rheu-
matism.

This is a term used in very general
and indefinite way to denote muscular
pain, especially pain for which no evil
dent cause can be found in the muscles
themselves. There are no signs of in
Illumination, no redness or heat of the
skin, no swelling, and little or no local
tenderness on pressure over the painful
part. The trouble may be acute or
chronic. sudden in its invasion, or of
gradually increasing intensity. The
pain varies much in character also, be-
ing sometimes sharp, sometimes dull,
sometimes throbbing, sometimes
cramplike Usually there is a constant
dull ache, which increases in acute
pain when the affected muscle con-
tracts; but in some cases no trouble
is experienced while the muscle is at
rest, the sufferer being reminded of his
malady only when he makes motion
involving the painful part, says Youths
Companion.
Sometimes the myaigia is more or less
ditfused over certain region, as the
back or the chest; or it may be limited
to one special muscle, such as the del
told, which covers the shoulder joint.
In children the most common seat OF
myalgia seems to be the neck-"wry-
neck" in older persons the back is per-
haps the most commonly affected
''lumbago."
An acute stiff neck or lumbago or
other form of myalgia lasts usually for
two - thran DAVIS m xEaaly hl1f fh 10
chronic form may continue indefinite
ly, t constant dull pain being inter
rupted from time to time by acute suf-
fering.
Although myalgia is often called
muscular rheumatism, it has no symp-
toms of rheumatism except the pain.
In the causation, however, there seems
often to be rheumatic or equity ele-
ment, and measures which are useful
in preventing the formation or in pro-
noting the eXcretion of uric acid usual
ly act beneficially upon myalgia. The
affection is apt to be worse in cold or
damp, and better in hot, weather.
Heat applied locally by means of a
hot-water bag or a hot sand-bag, gen
tie rubbing over the affected muscles
with the dry hand or with camphorat-
ed oil, or tapping with small rubber
hammer may give relief. Sponging
the part with very hot water, then with
cold water, followed by brisk rub
bling, is often good form of local treat
ment. Electricity is sometimes of
great benefit.
If the general health permits, the suf-
ferer from chronic myalgia should be
much in the open air, especially in the
sunlight. TONES are usually called for
in chronic eases.

WOMEN AND POCKETS.
Some Pertinent Comments by Eliza
beth Cady stanton, Famous
SuRragist AgitatOr.

The daily press gave an account
few days since of a young woman
walking in the street with her blind
mother, her pocketbook in hand, who
was suddenly robbed by man, who
was arrested and is now paying the
penalty of his crime in Jail. If the
woman had had pocket and her
purse in it she might still be enjoying
her money and the man his liberty.
Going to see friend off to Europe
not long ago | saw young woman
hurrying to the vessel, her train in
one hand, her umbrella and handker-
chief in the other and her purse held
in her teeth!
Ever and anon we hear of these val
uables snatched from their possessors,
for which men and boys are arrested
and punished. In view of this result
the pocket is more than question of
fashion, it becomes one of morals; it
is wonderful what dangers women
will endure and infiict on others at
the behests of fashion; if they choose
to suffer the accidents that befall

an appeal in our day might not be in
vain. The discipline of the church re-
quires all women to cover their heads
when they enter the cathedrals; Paul
advised them not to braid their hair
nor wear gaudy apparel, but to mod
estly cover their faces with wells.
Many of the books in the New Tesla
ment have special directions in regard
to the dress of women. And Isaiah
was quite strenuous as to most of the
ornaments dear to their hearts. In
the third chapter, sixteenth verse, he
says: Because the daughters of Zion
are naughty and walk mincing as they
go, making tinkling with their feet.

SCENTS OF THIS CENTURY.
The Question of Perfumes to Have
Mygienic Bearing In the
: Future.

Comparatively few new perfumes
have been added to those available
for extracts during the last four or
five decades. Far and away the most
widely sold scent of the present day
is that of Parma violet. which, in its
highest and most refined type, is pro-
duced from the flowers grown on hun
dreds of acres on the shores of the
Mediterranean, and especially in the
vicinity of Grasse. This is decidedly
costly and somewhat elusive perfume
to manipulate for trade purposes,
even with the orris root, which is an
uncertain crop, and is at times ex-
ceedinly expensive. Chemistry has
therefore stepped in, and with sub
stance known as "ionone" provides q
crude and ranker substitute.
Japan has given us one or two slight
ly different odors in recent years. but
European taste does not greatly care
for the distinctly oriental perfumes.
Orange flower water is perhaps less
used in England than upon the CONT
nent, but it will give some idea of the
extent to which this is manufactured
to mention that a single distillery in
the south of France brushes 100000
pounds in weight of the blossoms every
season, while for rose water some $780,
600 pounds of petals are daily distilled
during the month of May around
Grasse.
The world seems to be realizing again.
says a Chicago journal, that our fore
fathers showed sound sense in the use
they made of sweet herbs and aromat-
ic plants as preventives of infection,
and the eucalyptus has established its
position, not only as valuable safe
guard against malaria, but also as a
powerful disinfectnt, and, judging
from the keen interest taken in the
whole question of scents and extracts,
the dawning century will see them
used more and more for hygienic rea-
sons, as well as for pleasant luxury.

! The historic old St. Pauls church,
Detroit, is now desolate ruin. Sew
eral years ago it was partly de-
stroyed by fire, and from time to
time it has fallen until there is now
little left. The parish erected a new
church about ten years ago. ST.
Paul's dates back to 1924, when the
society was founded. The church was
completed in 1852 at cost of about
$4,000, and for years was one of the
best churches in the city.
