Dedicated Her shoulder.

Mrs. Johanna Soderholm, of Fergus
Falls, Mimi, fell and dislocated her
shoulder. She had surgeon get it
back in place as soon as possible, but
it was quite sore and panied her very
much. Her son mentioned that he
had seen Chamberlain's Pain Balm adj
vertised for sprains and soreness, and
she asked him to buy her bottle of
it, which he did. 1t quickly relieved
her and enabled her to sleep which
she had not done for several days.
The son was so much pleased with
the relief it gave his mother that he
has since recommended it to many 9th
ers. For sale by all druggists.

Charlie Younghusband had been
caught in rather confused account of
his whereabouts the night previous
His wife accepted the statement with
out comment, but all the next day his
conscience troubled him, and in order
to square himself he stopped on his
way up home and bought a copy of
Crawford's last book. After dinner
they sat down in the library and he
commenced its perusaI aloud. AS he
proceeded he felt himself growing more
solid. At last he encountered this pas
sage:
''If the girl loved her mother, and
she really did, it was largely because
her mother was so perfectly truthful.
Cynical people called her perfectly hon
est and said that her veracity would
have amounted to a disease of the
mind if she had possessed any, but
that since she did not it was probably
a form of degeneration, because all
perfectly healthy human beings lied
naturally"

A Blind Reggar's Faithful DOG.

a very curious story of a canine mu-
steal ear is told of a London organ
grinders dog. The organ grinder was
blind and aged, and the dog used to
lead him about. One night after a hard
days work the old man and his faith
full companion lay down to sleep with
the organ beside them. They slept
soundly, and when they awoke the or
gan was gone.
They were in despair. Their means
of earning living was gone. But the
dog led the old man through the streets
where he had been accustomed to play,
and persons who had given him aims
before continued to befriend him.
Weeks went by. One day the old man
heard hand organ played few feet
from him. 1t reminded him of his lost

FOR THE CHILDREN
The Internntionnl Date Lime.


Greenwich, on the other side of the
earth, is $50 degrees east and also $50
degrees west.
Now this point, or meridian, is the
place where by universal consent the
day changes, and it is called the inter
national date line. Let us see how the
change is made and note some of the
curious conditions that the change
gives rise to. Suppose two ships are
sailing toward that line, one sailing
east and the other west. On the ship
sailing toward the east the day is Sur
day; on the ship sailing toward the west
the day is Monday
Suppose, further, that it is 8 o'clock
in the morning and at that hour both
ships stop, one east of the line, the 9TH
er west of it, but within mailing dig-
lance of each other. 1t is o'clock il
the morning, remember. as indicated by
the sun. but on one ship it is Sunday,
on the Other it is Monday, for the day
of the week and the day of the month
both change at that line
Then the ships sail on, and the in
slant they cross the date line the one
going east changes the day from Sun
day to Monday, and the one going west
changes the day from Monday to Sun
day. so that the first ship gains whole
day and the last ship loses one.

THE GRANT sARcopHAel.
Twin Resting Places For Ashes of
General and Wife.

]
Upon the recent death of Mrs. q. S.
Grant preparations were at once begun
to make ready the empty safcophagus
which has for several years rested va
cant and waiting beside the one inclos-
ing the ashes of the great general in
the crypt of the big white mausoleum
on Riverside drive, New York The
twin sarcophagi are identical in every
way and were taken from the same
quarry.
The story is told that while General
Grant and Mrs. Grant were in Europe
they paid a visit to the tomb of Ferdi-
nand and Isabella. The thought of the
ashes of the royal couple resting side
by side through the centuries appealed
to the husband, and, turning to his
wife, he said, Julia. that is the way
we should lie in death.i'
When the general died, the great cit
les of the nation sought the honor of
affording his body Il sepulcher. New
York, however, was the first to offer
without condition a resting place for
both the general and Mrs. Grant. The
offer was accepted, and Mrs. Grant
herself chose the site of the tomb.
The monument is of fiawless Maine
granite, so light in color as to present
almost the effect of marble. The in

ture to exchange fisticuffs. The French

have natural aversion to having their
flesh pummeled, and if by chance boys
lose their instinct of self preservation
enough to come to blows they are
quickly made to keep the peace by old
er passersby, who, separating them,
give them a moral lecture upon such
cruel exercise of the muscles. Boys of
the upper classes never play in the
streets. In fact, Entil they are sent to

are accustomed to in their own coun-
try are considered specimens of saw

Exchange of Compliments.

The village sexton, in addition to be
ing gravedigger, acted as a stonecut-
ter, house repairer and furniture re-
mover.
The local doctor, having obtained a
more lucrative appointment in another
county, employed the sexton to assist
in his removal.
When it came to settling up accounts,
the doctor deducted an old contra ac-
count due by the sexton. He wrote at
the same time, objecting to the charge
made for removing his furniture:
eff this was steady, it would pay
much better than gravedigging."
The sexton replied:
"Indade, Oh wud be glad ave steady
job. Gravediggin' is very slack since
you left."-London Spare Moments.
