with rabbit skim he stalked majestic
ally across the stage. and, with fitting
hauteur, slowly ascended the steps
leading to the throne. Every one bowed
low, and the chancellor handed to his
majesty the parchment roll from which
to read the royal speech.
All waited ottentively to catch the
words from the royal lips, but his mai
estv found, to his chagrin, that the
roll was blank. Tho speech was long
and had not been committed to mem
ory.
It was impossible to get through 1t
with the aid Of the prompter, for he
was too far away to render the need.
full service. A bright thought passed
through the royal brain.
Having glanced over the roll as If IA
gather the gist OF the speech, he again
folded 1t and handed 1t back to the
chancellor with the command:
"You read It,"
The chancellor was somewhat Put
out, but dutlfully took the roll and
opened 1t, only to discover the royal

the parchment up and taking from his

JACK TAR's GROWL.
4 story illustrating the sailor's
HhbIt of Grumbling.


The author OF "t'rom Edinburgh to
,he Antaictlc,' writing OF the sailors
habit of grumbling, says: "The dinners
are all the same-.tha Is to say, Mon.
days dinners nre all alike, and what
we have today we shall have this day
six months hence. Jacks forefather
this day 100 years ago had the same
menu and made the same uncompll-
mentary remarks about the dishes, and
100 years hence on this day Jacks chill.
dren will growl over their salt horse
and plumloss duff," The author also
tells this "yarn" to illustrate that
jacks habit of grumbllng can't be
cured and must be endured;
Once upon u time there lived skip
per whose wife said to him that II she
went to sea the poor men would never
find fault with their food. Her hus-
band took her with him on n voyage,
and the good woman attended to the
cooking In the galley herself.
The scouse was thick With fresh veg
etables, the bread was Nhitc and with,
out weevils, the meat was good, and
the duff was almost hnlf plums, but
still the men growled.
Then the skipper's wife thought OF
the hens she had brought ON board to
lay eggs for her husbands breakfast.
She took them out OF the coop, wrung
their necks with her, own fair hands,
plucked them, roasted them and sent
them to the forecastle on the cabin
china.
Now the men, she said TO herself,
"will know how much We think of their
comfort" Ns- I
At eight bells she stole forward to
the forecastle TO listen to the praise OF
her skill as cook She looked down
the hatch and saw a big black fist
plunge fork into the hen and heard a
hoarse voice growl, II say, Bin. what
dye think this ere bloody fowl died

ilev known of a man sittn on de

idlin his time away an den complainin
bekase his hens didn't lay two eggs
apiece between sunrise an sunset.
It's powerful easy fur most any sort
of man to run coon up tree, but
when 1t comes to gittin dat same coon
down it's quite another matter.
When I hear man claimin to be a
good deal wiser dan his feller inen,
sot him down as one who has had a
narrer escape from bein bon In an
idiot asylum.
Pears to me dat most men start out
in life determined to be honest, but l
hev dlsliivered dat In 10 out Of 20 cases
as soon as an honest man gets beaten
out of 10 cents be am ready to make It
an excuse to beat somebody else out of
q dollar.
One Of de trubbles Of life am de fact
dat we don't make 'lowance nuff fur
natural changes. Fur instance, when
was courtin de present Mrs. Gardner
1t tickled Inc to death to hev her box
my ears. When we had bin married a

wood at me l wanted divorce right
away.

entirely and permanently, and that too
without impairlng In any way the finest
or most sensitive skin. 1t Is scarcely
possible to overstate the Importance Of
this discovery, or the great good and salts
faction 1t will be to those afflicted with
one of the most disfguring and aggravat-
ing blemlshes-that of euperhuous hair on
the face OF women, whether 10 be II mus
tache or growth on tho neck, cheeks or

The Misses Bell have thoroughly tested
its efficacy and are deFirouS that the full
merits of their treatment to which they
have given tho descriptive name of KILL
ALL-HAIR" shall be known to all afflicted.
To this end trial will be sent free of
charges, to any lady who will write for 1t.
without cent of. cost you can see for
yourselves what tho discovery is; the
evidence of your own senses will then
convince you that the treatment "EILL-

greatest drawbacks to perfect loneliness,
the growth of superfluous hair on the fnce
OF neck OF women.
Please understand that n personal demon
stration of our treatment costs you
nothing. A trial will be sent you free,
which you can use yourself and prove our
claims by sending two stamps for mailing.
