"The Mint" owned and operated by
J. E. Wells, is now one Of the most
convenient places in the city for the
transient visitor to hang up his hat.
The thoroughly up-to-date hotel de-

is in handsome shape. He has large
number of the best rooms in the city
with which to accommodate his pa

thoroughly first-class lunch counter,
and with the aid of two very fine
cooks and two ranges he is able to
serve meals or lunches at any hour,
day or night. Mr.. Wells is a progress

his patrons the very best service. Mr..
Wells prides himself on his beds, for
he has spared no expense to make
them first-class. The springs and

be kept that way. Any one wishing

shouted Mr.. Bowser as he stood up
and gestured until he scared the cat
under the piano. "It is all envy and
spite ON your part. You are afraid
will look younger than you do. When
my knees need rubbing, will let your
family know. By thunder, but will
not allow any human being to talk to
me as you have"
Mrs. Bowser realized that she had
gone too far, and she had nothing fur
ther to say. Half an hour later she
went up to her room, leaving Mr..
Bowser with his paper. He waited
few minutes to see if she would re-
appear and then decided to begin op-
erations. Removing his coat and waist
coat, he stood in front of the mantel
glass and proceeded to rub his wrinkles
over with the balm.

box, will make wonderful improve

In this case it was thoroughly done.
Mr.. Bowser had rubbed away for ten
minutes and he was fattering himself
that as many as fifty wrinkles had
been reduced to half their original size
when the tears suddenly started to his
eyes. and he began to feel a smarting
sensation in his cheeks. The Egyptian
hadn't said that tears and smarts were

Bowser's face deepened to lobster red,
the tears came as fast as if his broth

rubbing This didn't stop the smart
ing, however. and it was no better
when the balm had been washed off
with soap and hot water.
There was something wrong with
that Egyptian balm or else Mr.. Bowser
had been just on the point of develop
