doorway of No. 2999 He was SILVER

would wake up and find he only

the summons. She looked him over In
dubity. Such callers were Iot usual.

But the maid cut in on his speech.
She smiled graciously.
Miss Edith will be so glad" she
said IF you will come in, sir, I will
call her, If she is up"
He waited long, In a drawing room
whose aromatic breath made him
think of all the unforgetable past
and then there floated from behind the
portiere a divine vision Of loneliness
arrayed in morning robe of cerulean
blue and looked upon him In the dim
light Of the drawing room. He had
risen, nat Ill Hduu, WIFI Hio oiu So"ie y
ly grace, to greet lady.
Then, as he stared, speechless, the
vision swept with a single undu-
lation to his very breast and threw
both of her fair arms about his neck.
"Oh! Jason!" she cried, Have you
come at last?"
Edith" was all he said, but being
mortal, he kissed her where she stood.
The law firm Of Jennison and Fen
wick has the reputation of dividing
the most lucrative practice in Illinois
courts, and especially is its junior
member regarded by the members Of
the bar which his talents adorn as one
of its brightest lights.
Miss Jennisons parents, you see, had
only recently purchased No. 2999, and
Jason didn't know it. In his case that
little knowledge would have been a
dangerous thing.

to invite the door by making unjusti-
fable advances. 1t Is better to be warm
and hungry than cold and hungry, he
argued and it may be conceded that
his logic was not unsound.
When the porter and his early morn
ing mop began the additions which
were intended to restore the floor to
decency, he seized up Jason's chair with
that contemptuous authority the black
man loves to exercise upon his poor
white brother, and set 1t upon pool
table that he might the better use the
mop. Thus evicted. the young man
wandered aimlessly out of the door.
Remorse bit his soul and hunger
gnawed his stomach. The west wind
was keen, and pricked him.
After ALL" he said, I'm a hesita-
ting fool. Let's end this comic TRACE

toward the Randolph street viaduct
and Lake Michigan beyond. AS he
passed the towering cliffs of the Audi
forum and the Annex, the savage
wind, pent as in funnel, assisted him
with even more acridity and put an
edge upon his purpose. He walked

Mothers often complain that their
babies do not appear really i'll, and YET
do not grow and look as healthy as
they should. The Difference between a
healthy and an unhealthy child is very
marked. A perfectly healthy baby
sleeps a great deal Of the time during
the first few months of its life, and
when it is asleep wears an expression
of absolute and blissful repose. The
little eyelids are completely closed, the
lips very slightly parted and the
breathing is rhythmic and scarcely to
be heard. There is no visible move.
ment of the nostrils in the healthy
baby while sleeping. When young
baby sleeps with the eyelids incom-
pletely closed, SO that the whites Of
the eyes show, be sure that something
is wrong. When the baby's rest is
broken by pain, even collie, the eyelids
will twitch, and the eyes will not com,
pletely close. But the same symptoms
indicate often the appearance of Sc
we're illness, so that the mother should
always be on guard.

So
LIFE is WHAT
EgIlVtg@kkSDG]
XAYE Al AT" TIT
WE MAKE 1T

Life is simply what we make 1t as we
hasten needless on
To the future that awaits us just beyond
the gilded dawn:
We can plant our path with roses, aye, or
water 1t with tears,
We can shadow 1t with sorrow that VIII
stay throughout the years:
We can make our neighbors happy with
laugh or with a song,
We can scatter sunshine always as
through life we pass along;
Life is simply what we make it; let us
make it bright and gay
For the bird that carols sweetly gladdens
all the summer day.
Aye, life is what we make It, bright or
clouded DER with woe,
AS fate doth sweep the pendulum unceas-
ing to and fro:
Plant roses in your pathway, weed the
thistle from your door,
He in whose heart laugh is born cannot
be counted poor;
&c make life bright and merry, sunshine
never killed flower,
And never came a smile amiss unto the
weary hour;
The birds doth fill with happiness the
meadows where they throng,
And we can set the world aglee with
laughter and with song.

thought of, it is disgraceful determines
he in such case as has been made and
provided first herein.
True there is the dual path of reform
and work. Along its broad and
straight but steep and rocky way its
twin sign-posts stand side by side
pointing with unbent fingers to the
temple of hope shining afar in the
fields of ease. But the ascent is ardu-
GUS Nor Is it so easily undertaken
If reform without work is fruitless
equally true it is that work without
reform is profitless. And to achieve
the one and secure the other merely
by determining to do so is possible
only to those souls whose fibres are
spun from steel and adamant.
To the conclusions thus advanced
came Jason Fenwick on the morning
when he perceived with bitterness that
even those poor resources he Rad been
able to call his own had been drunk
and eaten all, leaving neither crumbs
nor lees behind. He had slept uneasily

When a man has been dissolute for

shun his approach lest he be about to
renew reiterated applications for lust
a small loan, you know, old man;
when his clothes have descended from
that sartorial reimbursement called the
shabby genteel to the sartorial sub
cellar denominated the ragged; when
even his kindred shun him; when the
lady who furnishes his cheap lodgings
lntimates that unless the unpaid rent
of the last fortnight be forthcoming at
once, would he be SO kind as to give up
his key; when the lucent meal restau-
rant man with reluctance, but firmness,
advises that further line OF credit
will be impossible in his case until
you can do a little something, sir, on
this old account which has been run
ming so Longevity, then, what is a
man to do?
Broadcast among the paths lying be-
fore him run two. First, there is SUI
eide. One always contemplates sui
eide under such conditions. Whether
one is remorsefully sober or sentiment
tally drunken, suicide is the solace
springing spontaneously to greet
thought. In theory it is easy-but in
practice only the desperate rush to its
chill embrace. The icy waters of the
lake and river do not WOO as did the
Paphian goddess. And among those who
have made practice of drowning 1t Is
looked upon as disagreeable exercise.
Carbolic acid and rough on rats have
features most Objectionable
Besides. one has moral objections to
self-destruction. The church has cried
anathemas upon it. Society frowns
upon it by making its attempt penal in

Mrs. Edward Stevens Of Carthage,

81 now take pleasure in notifying
you that my husband has entirely re-
covered from catarrh. He is we'll man
today, thanks to you and Peruna. He
took six bottles of your medicine as d.
rected, and it proved to be just the
thing for him. His appetite is good
and every thing he eats seems to agree
with him. His cough has left him and
he is gaining in flesh, and seems to be
well every way. l hope others will try
your medicine and receive the benefits
that we have"-Mrs. Edward Stevens.
When the catarrh reaches the throat
1t is called tonsilitis, or larnygitis Ca
tarrh of the bronchial tubes is called
bronchitis; catarrh Of the lungs, con-
sumption. Any internal remedy that
will cure catarrh in one location will
cure it in any other location. This is

The plan Of the Central Pacific rail-
road to cut off 1O7 miles by crossing
Great Salt lake involves a great en-
cheering problem. The lake has to be
crossed at point where it is thirty
two miles wide, trestle-work being
necessitated for the whole of the dis
lance, excepting two miles across the
rocky Promontory point. The view
afforded passengers over the new route
will be novel and picturesque.

A man was at the wicket getting his
money on check for 1927 when the
deputy bank commissioner walked in

paid the man 5000 in big bills and was
counting out the $27 in small change
wnen the commissioner stopped him.
The commissioner claims that the man
should pay back the 5000; the man
claims that the commissioner should
have allowed him to receive the S27.

Church or Club?

President Thwing Of the Western

noting marked decrease in the num-

inducements which commercial pur-

doubt, whether the church is to be a
place of worship or sort of club.

COUNT EGGS BY THE MILLION
Chicago Dealers Discuss Recent Big
Order from the East.

chicago Dealers DISCUSS heceht DIX
Order from the East. v
South Water street men the other
day discussed the recent order of an
eastern man for 100000 dozen eggs
to be supplied by the commission men
of the west, says the Chicago Chroni-
Gle. This order runs into big figures
and counted in eggs or dozens it looks
large. At any rate, it means, even at
the price of 10 cents per dozen, trans
action of nearly $250,000. The eastern
buyer is undoubtedly making his pur-
chase for cold storage purposes, and
will calculate to make his profit on
the advance in price next winter. Com
mission men are recalling the trans
action last season by which Cudahy
of Omaha and Chicago parties col
lected and stored several millions OF
dozens of eggs which were afterward
sold at the winter price and at hand
some profit. When talking about a
recent offer made to the convention
Of Kansas and Oklahoma commission
men to buy 100000 dozen eggs sew
oral South Water street dealers said
that such an order could be easily
handled by commission firms in the
ordinary business way. One was of the
opinion that there are firms doing
business with headquarters in Chicago
that would not be stumped if called
upon to furnish twice that quantity
in the course Of couple of months.
They would simply set to work among
country and call for all that could be
supplied at stated times.
