Yes" she responded hesitatingly, in
half-hearted tone.

''Why?"

think about" she paused.
What are they?"
"Oh. lots; whether I'm sitting right,
or my hair is smooth, or my elbows in
the right place-so many l cant name
them ali"
Mrs. Allen nodded approvingly at each
item.

Careful, proud Mrs. Allen had been the
cause Of Sue Bellies lack Of progress.
How can a little girl play the piano if she
has something else on her mind ali the
time? And when that something multi
plies into at least six, where is there life
left for the rollicking spirit Of a gay
nazourEa?
A Lesson in Relaxation.
Sue Belle is not an awkward girl; even
if she were, making her think about it all
the time wouldn't change the fact in the
least.
Let's have rcmp,' said to the tense
little child. and forget all about the con-
cert"
We began. Soon we dragged Mrs. Allen
into the game, which IS a good one for any
mother to play with the children at bed
time, when the outer clothing has been
removed. It was this:
First, raise one arm over the head with
the hand dropping. At the same time
place the weight upon the same foot. Hold
the arm there moment. Be sure there is
no STRAINED tight" feeling about it. Then
let it drop-as if it we're some other per-
sons arm. If it is properly done the
hand will swing about after it drops, like
a weight tied CT the end Of a string.
When you are able to do this 50 there
is absolutely no thought in the action Of
the hand, the arm is resting. 1t is re-
Taxed. No mind force is being wasted,
and there must inevitably be If you think
about it.
When one arm has learned the trick
OF relaxing, teach the other to do it also
1t may sound very simple. As a mat
ter of fact, at the first trial not one per-
son in ten is able to let the arm fall Of
its own accord. The efforts OF class in
this direction are often Iudicrous in the
extreme.
Sue Belle laughed until she cried at her
mothers funny attempts.
After a few minutes OF fun, she went
to the piano again. Mrs. Allen is author
ity for the statement that she had never
played so well.
She won her little prize. Mrs. Allen
saw the point. and never once mentioned
how her little girl looked all the day OF
the concert. Sue was so interested in try
ing to swing her hands she forgot to pose.
She had learned small lesson in relaxa-
tion.

This is the fundamental principle upon
which c. W. Post, of Battle Creek. Mich,
has founded new system of paper frac-
tional currency, which is destined to fill
a want long recognized by the business
men OF the country. Mr.. Posts idea is
one of undoubtcd merit. as it does away
with the present inconveniences incident
upon safely transmitting small sums CT
money through the United States nails.
Under present conditions, when one de-
sires to send. say, seventy-ive or eighty
cents. it is necessary to go to either the
nain postofice or branch and procure
a money order. Even then the trouble is
only half ever, as the person who receives
the order is compelled 10 have the same

These unfortunate conditions have grad

however, that in many cases the remedy
is worse than the disease, and for this

deer season in Colorado opens on August ID,
and from that date to the close the animals are

is from the constant killing out of season. The
feeding grounds of the deer are growing more

Many times they are caught in the severe storms

One of the greatest sources of trouble with

Colorado is the annual raid of the UncOm-

4 Letter From the Executive Office Of Oregon.

Peru-na is known from the Atlantic to
the Pacific. Letters of congratulation and
commendation testifying to the merits OF
Pe-ru-nn as a catarrh remedy are pouring
in from every State in the Union. DIR.
Hartman is receiving hundreds Of letters
daily. All classes write these letters, from
the highest to the lowest
The outdoor laborer, the indoor artisan,
the clerk, the editor, the statesman, the
preacher-all agree that Pe-ru-na is the
catarrh remedy of the age. The stage and
rostrum, recognizing catarrh as their great
est orsemy are especially enthusiastic III
their praise and testimony.
Any man who wishes perfect health must
be entirely free from catarrh. Catarrh is
well-nigh universal; almost omnipresent.
Pe-ru-nn is the only absolute safeguard
known. A cold is the beginning of catarrh.
To prevent colds, to cure colds, is to cheat
catarrh out of its victims. Pe-ru-na not
only cures catarrh but prevents. Every
household should be supplied with this great
remedy for coughs, colds and SO forth.

A Quaker Barten der.

There is an old suburban inn near
Philadelphia kept by a Quaker who
amid the incongruous surroundings OF
his bar, still clings to the plain Ian
guage of his faith. Occasionally he
even dispenses liquid refreshments
with his own hands, and it seems queer
to hear his mild voice asking, What
will thee have?" The other day there
was a crowd in the bar, and one of the
men had already been imbibing too
freely. Nevertheless he lined up at
the bar with the others. and loudly
called for whisky. The old man
looked at him severely, and remarked:
James, doesn't thee think thee has
had enough of the strong stuff? Thee
had better take 'parila." There was
no appeal, and James drank glass
of sarsaparilla.
