thousands which could well be spared.
1t did not occur to him that the first

rose and looked again at the picture,
and with a sigh of content drew the
curtain before it and left the studio
for the night.
The next day Paris was herself again.
The storm had passed and the sun shone
brilliantly in a clOudless- sky. Spring
had come. and the birds were singing
gayly In the trees. on which the gummy
ouos were almost bursting. As u o'clock
struck from the city towers Emile Blisson
was breakfasting alone. The morning pa
pers were beside him, neatly folded in a.
heap. and as he slipped his coffee he
glanced at their contents As a rule he
looked at nothing beyond the great events
which make or mar the history of ma
tons, but today he scanned with Idle Curl

and gazed long and lovingly at the great
picture. Ten minutes later he was driving
with carriages and throngs Of fashionabls
folk The air was warm and balmy and
all nature seemed to be rejoicing in the
nrst day of welcome spring. The crowd
recognized him as he passed and turned
their heads to gaze at the man whose
fame though great had yet to reach its
zenith In a few minutes his carriage
drew up before the low, gray building
through whose portals have been carried
the saddest of human freights. He paused
before entering, blaming himself for fears
which he felt to be grOundless, but still
urged by strange curiosity to satisfy
himself.

Here you may see an example of
the Bluff System. The bluff, proper
~ administered, is a good thing. This
frail lady ped-a-gogue would not be
exhibiting average in-tel-li-gence
were she to assault the pupil with
the club. He might get mad and so
forget himself as to spank her. With
the Bluff System she will scare him
out of a years growth and cause him
to moan in his sleep. The same sys-
tenn is good when used by a man IN
the trained animal business, also
by the oil trust.

There is a grace of kind listening as

men listen with an distracted air
which shows that their though is are
elsewhere. or they seem to listen. but
by wide answers and irrelevant lues-
lions show that they have been occu-
pied with their own thoughts as being
more interesting. at least in their own
estimation. than what you have been
saying. Some interrupt and will not
hear you to the end Some hear you TO
the end. and forthwith begin TO talk to
you about a similar experience which
has befallcn themselves, making your
case only an illustration of their own.
Some. meaning to be kind. listen with
such a determined. lively. violent Mt

versation is at an end. Many persons
whose will stand the test Of

Another Strike

Is the startling announcement in oui
newspapers. Men in almost every
~grancfr or trade are making demands.
which must be granted or a serious
strike will result. in which both time
md money will be lost. But when the
stomach goes on q strike" from ne
glect or overwork the results are go
ing to be far more serious unless
you settle 1t" at once. The only sure
way to start the stomach working
again is by taking Hostetter's Stomach
Bitters. 1t has a record of so years
of cures back of 1t and has never been
known to fail in cases of DOR appe-
lite, sour stomach, indigest. on. dys-

surely ought to give 1t a trial at once.
