A DEPRAVED BABY.
It Sleeps for Mother, But Stays Awake
to Entertain Father.

" GhNSANoAh
A fond father says that nowhere is
there to be found as well developed
brand Of natural deprayity as that
which animates siX-monthsold in
FAINT, and he tells this story in con-
tirmation Of his opinion.
The other evening he was left alone
with his tiny son and heir. The
youngsters mother went to the the
alter. His aunt went out also, and so
did his nurse, and the man was left
in full possession of the field.
About seven o'clock, with sublime
disregard for modern rules, which say
babes must be put upon bed and
left to go to sleep by themselves, the
father began to rock his child to
sleep. And he rocked and crooned
and walked steadily from that time
until nine.
Then, the infant having finally sue
cumbed to "'nature's sweet restorer,"
he arose, and as if walking on eggs,
carried his burden stealthily to the
bedroom, put it down as gently as
possible, and withdrew. Alasl how
ever, in closing the door it squeaked
bit, and Mr.. Baby was as wide awake
as ever, and he remained as chirpy as
a 17-year locust until his mother
came home at IL.
Next evening-and here's where
the deprayity comes in-mother was
home, and aunty and all the rest of
the family; so Mr.. Baby went off to
sleep at six o'clock, as usual At
eight he fell out Of bed with a dull
thud that went to the maternal heart
like dagger. But he didn't even
stir His fond parents picked him
up and carried him to the light, fear
ing all sorts of things, and then, and
not until then, did the youngster
open his eyes and. smile cherubic
smile into the anxious faces bending
over him. Then he went off to sleep
again, none the worse for the acci-
dent.
"But why" asked the bewildered
man, ''why will baby who is aroused
by the slightest creaking of door
one night, when his mother isn't
home, fail even to wake when he falls
out of bed the next?"
And it is a problem, now, isn't it?

HIS baby was saved.
The Father Gives Full Details of an
Interesting Interview.
He is W. II. K. Bedford OF Greensboro.
(From the Greensboro, KY, Messenger.

(From the greensboro, KY, Messenger.)
The old biblical adage, that "a
prophet is never without honor save in
his own country is undoubtedly true
in ninety nine instances out of one
hundred. when either applied to man
or the product of his wonderful genius.
Seldom do you hear of an exception to
this rule, but it is found in the repu-
tation that Overs Pink Mixture has
achieved for itself. But it could
hardly have been otherwise when it is
known that the medicine is made from
a prescription that was given for
nearly forty years by one of the most
successful family physicians in Ten
nessee. 1t takes results to have effect
upon home people. No amount of ad
vertising will convince person where
remedy is put up that it will do what
the proprietors claim. He Is doubt
ing Thomas until he sees the physical
effects When once convinced, though,
he is an advocate of it's merits 80 long
as he lives.
Of course, thousands of people know
now that Owens Pink Mixture is put
up by the Floyd Medicine Company
of Detroit, Mich, but there was
pared for the public for several years
in Owensboro, KY, and there it was
that the people first became acquainted
with its wonderful merits as life
saver to the young. This acquaintance
came not through the columns of a
newspaper, but from actual experience
and from the mouths of those parents
whose children it had saved.

Aside from this, he stands high
socially, and is a brother of the cir

of a reserved disposition and does not
care for publicity. When approached
on the subject of an interview in regard
he was inclined to be reticent, and
only consented to tell the story of its
wonderful results In his own family
after due deliberation. He stated to
the reporter in the first place, that
