on the back. One pocket holds a IL
brary card, and the other a concise
printed account of the picture and it's
artist. A brass hook is also attached
for hanging the picture, and thus it is
packed into strong envelope, ready
for its travels.
The best grade of photographs have
been found too expensive for workers
of limited means and experience, but
so long as the picture is of good STAN
dard, the style of print is not all-irn-
portant. While it is essential, of course,
that the picture should be technically
good, it is equally important that those
intended for rural communities should
appeal to the heart and the simpler
tastes in their subject matter. Col
ored pictures do this more quickly
than photographs.
The high grade magazines using color
reproduction and the better class of
illustrated Sunday newspaper supple
ments are recognized aids in further
ing the movement. Carefully mounted
and furnished with a few facts re-
garding the pictures and their artists,
they are welcomed by the managers of
any circulating art gallery.
A favorite donation with wealthy
persons interested in the work is a
complete collection of prints. A ful
set is itself liberal education in art.

HANKA DOODLUM
By EDWARD MARSHALL.

When summer came young Henry
Herbert was the only guest at the small
Hotel de Mas in Paris. No objection
was therefore made to his taking his
violin into the court and practicing.
That very morning he had enjoyed half
an hour of blood-curdling and nerve
twisting scales IN the court yard secure
in the knowledge that there was no one
TO suffer from it but Madame and her
employees who were hardened to It.
When he went home that afternoon
after his two hours with his master he
sat at one of the small tables and took
his violin from its case. Before Pierre,
the waiter. had come with his YER
mouth, which was his only and very
wild dissipation, he became much in
terested in the achievement of a diff
cult and unnatural finger position which
am sure the Almighty never intended
human fingers to be bothered by.
Presently Pierre, the waiter, arrived
and delivered his regular daily drink
along with the Information that there
were new guests in the hotel and ti;cy
were Americans. Madame had intrust-
ed Pierre with the duty of delicateI
limiting to him that perhaps it might
be better for him not to practice any
of his painful scales in the court yard,
but just play a few little ones which
did not ache so very much. But Her
bert's mind was so occupied with his
efforts that he did not realize the sense
of Pierre's remarks. He only stopped
his painful work long enough to drink
his Vermouth and then went on again.
While he was hard at it an American
boy approached him with a swagger
and d command.
Mister. Pay Hanka Doodlum, won't
you?'
The small American was forced to re-
peat his request number of times be-
fore he attracted the fascinated per-
formers attention.
Mister! Pay Hanka Doodlum, won't
you?"
Herbert took his violin from beneath
his chin.

were feeling very well that morning

had thought of LeXington) But then
there came caution and some stealthy
progress, which the music plainly told
to Herbert if to no one else. But the
caution passed and his fingers and his
bow took up their work in earnest

Young Hmerica, What His You +?

The man who lives an out-of-door life, who
earns his living by his Drawn and muscle, IS
a being who can defy bad weather and wet
feet. He is quickening his heart, driving the
blood through unused channels, fastening the
breathing and increasing the secretions OF the
skin. He may be able to abuse his stomach,
drink or smoke to excess and yet be healthy.
His red corpuscles will still keep their round
shape But the person who does not live so
close to nature, who works confined in Office,
shop or ill-ventilated house, or is risking his
life in commercial habits that are ruinous to
the stomach and heart, such as lunches con-
sumed at racing speed, overwork and late
hours, will have fewer red blood corpuscles
and an increase of white Corpuscles The
red corpuscles instead of being round will
form into all kinds of various shapes as shown
in border of this article. The stomach heart,
and nervous system Of Americans is being
sorely overtaxed. Our young people are over
educated and ver-strained in school houses
and homes, and this is bringing a growing
evil to Young America. Sleep is often broken
the ill-used brain will not permit one to enjoy
uNature's sweet restorer sleep in bed.
The blood is slow, sluggish and filled with
white corpuscles, Stagnation of the blood
causes headache, constipation, bad colds,
coughs and a pale Countenance.

is gained by taking medicine which is close
to natures way of making up for the abuse of
the body, such as stated above. Dr. R. V.
Pierce for many years studied this serious
question while in the active practice of his
profession and finally made prescription of
botanical extracts which had wonderful
effect in increasing the red blood corpuscles.
He placed it on the market under the name of
Dr. Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery.
