said l, and then 1 told him of our set
ting out. 1 knew he as just the kind
of man to sympathize with the way we
felt about doing office work, and the
way we took to get shut of it. OF
course, Sam and Pete Clipped into my
narrative, and pretty soon we were all
talking as if we'd known the captain
and his crew all our lives. When we
finished he slapped both big hands
down on his knees.

surprised at this talk. Perhaps it is
none of my business, but it looks to
me as if you had gone little out of
the beaten track in your old age"
He shot me a quick look, and began
to smooth out a smile by rubbing
down his beard. ''Yessir!" says he,
thoughtfully. 1T does look that way"

thoughtful manner of his, that laugh

back "Old age don't kill us off en-

story as Johnny Leslie told it to me,
letting him speak his own piece. Said
he. When we went over. I was the

into the middle of the ocean would
mix anybody. And when came TO
the top, it didn't clear matters up any,
for it was black as pitch, and my head
bunked against roof L felt around
with my hands and there was some
kind of wall all around me. OF course,
YOU understand that 1 came up under
Judith, but l didn't-that is. not for
some time. I heard a humping over
nv head, and then indistinct talking.
That woke me up and 1 pounded on
the bottom of the Judith and holler-
ed murder.

"Ill be right there" l answered. 1t
was funny to have to yell to friends
that were onyl three feet off.

''Yost COON alang foor me-" said the
Swede. Il tank can feex out guide. I

1t was the first time that ever heard
the sing-song Swede- English, and it
seemed very odd to me. But Knut was
as good as his word. In his Nest-the
neatest chest you could imagine-was

nave teen contented with the plain ma
terials; that wasn't Knut's idea of hos
pitalitv. We had to put on the best the
chest held. Knut nodding his head with
satisfaction.
OF course. we asked him what the

Don't mention it," said Capt. Per-

concert. You can't imagine how sooth-
in it is to the spirits of a seafaring
man to hear real good singin'' come
from the middle of the ocean, when you
can't see a cussed place for it to come
from. 1 reckon 1 was quarter of an
hour making you out with the night
glasses. Now would you boys mind
telling me how you come to get out
here? If it's none of my business don't
hesitate to say So"
l couldn't help but think that the
Captain was leaving way out for
himself when we began to ask ques-
tions, in that last proviso of his, in
spite of his jolly off-hand manner.

Miss NJ. A. Gibson
l Secretary Of the Metarie Literary Glib
II of Brooklyn, N. Y.


H- HE woman who travels contin-
ually, whether on business or
pleasure, frequently hazards her
health. The nervous excite
ment of catching trains, hurrying here
and there, sleeping in cold beds and
hastily eating lily prepared meals will
even break down the health of the
strongest map. The highly sensitive
organism of'-sa woman needs much
leisure and quiet, plenty of sleep and
the proper nutriment or the debt will
be paid by continual menstrual suffer
ing and an early grave.
There are thousands of women like
Miss Marion A. Gibson, of AZ Hoyt
Street, Brooklyn, N. Y, who 60 into
business and travel great deal of their
time. These women know full well
the trials they undergo. Out on the
road they do not have the opportunity
to care for themselves as they would
have at home. Miss Gibson uses Wine
of Cardui and keeps in perfect health
despite the Inconvenience and dangers
of travelling. She is the secretary of the
Metarie Literary Club of Brooklyn, N.
Y, and her letter is the experience of
a highly intelligent woman and will be
gladly received by her unfortunate sis
tiers who need the competent advice
she gives. She writes:
"As large part Of my time is spent in
travel often suffered with the discomforts
Of chilly beds and poor food. Frequent colds
settled in the pelvic organs and produced
some bladder trouble. Ipaid little attention
to it at first bot soon found that l needed

I'm try" sighed the waving
branches. but"
1t was troublesome work for so young
a tree, which knew so little about nuts
but by the next morning all those
that remained were concealed by a
prickly coat. and the littlest Dryad
nodded her sunny head, knowing that
Nais was wise. -
She hid behind the nearest oak-that
wherein dwelt Oenone-and waited.

The tree cared little for what Ion
could do. but at last it let one nut fall.
All the fauns were on it an once-and
all sprang up with pricked fingers
very angry.

when we were far from here. and have

answered the other fauns. mo; 1t was

in the brook, and ask Nails to hold him
under the water until he gives us the
nuts"
Ion did not wait for that. Off he
rushed, through bushes and vines, and
never paused until he was far down
the hillside.
IF that wasn't just like a Dryad!" lie
thought out of breath and in a very
bad temper.
But the littlest Dryad laughed hap

ed, too-for she had seen many little
fauns.

This article appears in this paper to-
day to tell you directly that Wine of
Cardui will relieve the suffering of sick
women. 1t regulates menstruation and
restores health to women who know
they are weak but do not believe that
it is possible to be strong and healthy.
Miss Gibson can travel and not suffer
because she has a remedy that keeps
menstruation regular and preserves her
health and energy. How much more
interest she takes in her club only she
and her associates know. But we all
know she is a useful and active woman
instead of a sufferer. You can make

THE QUALITY OF FEED.

Within the last few years the
biggest feeders of the country
have given more study to the
quality of feed they buy than
ever before. Feeding working
stock has gotten down to . scien-
ti6c basis. Formerly whole grain,
was used exclusively. Now our
agricultural colleges and shreMd
planters have discovered that the
feeding value Of grain is greatly
increased when It is crushed.
Not only that, but the crushing
makes it easier of digestion,
which makes the liability OF sick
ness, such as collie, . minimum.
The danger Of crushed feed lies
In the fact that many manufact.
urers grind inferior grain in or
der to increase their pronts.
However the wise manufacturer
knows that unsound seed VIII

made by our own people, there
Is one feed made in ST. Louis,
