About a Good Roofing,
Called ParOid.

It's foundation is the best wool
felt, made from selected stock. 1t
is a strong, durable material, rem
dered doubly strong and doubly
durable, by the thorough satura-
ton it is given in a waterproof
compound which renders every
thread and every fibre absolutely
waterproof all the way through.
This composition contains no tar
nothing to harden and stiffen the
roofing in winter nothing to ooze
out in summer.
After saturating, both sides of
the sheet are coated with a hard,
elastic shell, which effectually
preserves the fibre.
The result is a good, permanent,
economical roofing.
We put it on our own house.
We put it on our store house. We
II it to our best customers lots
f it. We recommend it to you.
We are so sure of the lasting merit
of Paroid roofing that we put our
name on every roll.
Shingles made today soon twist
out of shape and rot. Paroid is
better. Sparks do not set it on
fire. Iron and steel rust through
very quickly. Tarred roofing gets
brittle and cracks all to pieces
Paroid roofing is made for per.
manent buildings. 1t is not high
priced. Let us send you a sample
and the price.

The Tailor Made
Lady and the Clerk

CHE was a tailor made young lady
~ of twenty years who sat 1T the
silk counter with bit of black
taffeta in her dainty fingers
Have you some of this same taft
feta: she asked the clerk. 1T was
bought here. and l want to look ut
something off the same piece"
Patiently the clerk pulled down bolt
after bolt Of taffeta. and after ten min
utes' searching and matching he found
the bolt desired.
She looked at it carefully. While the
clerk inquired, How many yards,
please?'
"Oh, don't want any" she said
sWeetly. Il made a wager with Mae
Brown that this taffeta had a red sell
wage, and she bet it was a green sell
wage. | see it's red, and I'm awfully
much obliged to you, and Mae Brown
will have to pay me box of candy"
Patiently the clerk restored his silks
to the shelves and regretted the heavy
penalty for homicide.-New York

why Richard Was censured.

who was recently compelled to censure
her little boy for making Il rude ref

visitor to her house.

sternly. ''let me never again hear YOU

Professor Blank"

That's very true. my child; but, all
the same, YOU mustn't speak of it. Pro
fessor Blank is Il very estimable man"
Il guess he is, ma went on the
hopeful, but my, he's ugly!' Then,
entirely forgetting the maternal adj
monition, the incorrigible youngster
added, why, ma, the professor is SO
ugly that when he makes a face he's
handsomer than he is when he isn't
making face"

Fishing for Bait.

A citizen of Shelbyville who is build
ing house is deserving of sympathy.
When the outside work was done and
the lathing and plastering under way
he unconsciously placed a half-pint of
excellent bourbon on a support next
to the weather boarding. He was
called away, and when he returned the
lathing and plastering had gone up
around the bottle, and there was no
way on earth of getting it except by
tearing the house down. The shift
less wOrkmen, who are responsible for
the annoying blunder. were dis
charged, and the householder is trying
to fish out his bottle from above by
dropping a cord with slip-noose on
the end. At last accounts he was still

with the baby in her arms sprang

consul was about to spring forward
when Mrs. Grey with a scream which
died into a moaning gasp fell over on

he did not give to his office was be-
slowed on his wife, who was slowly
becoming a helpless invalid. lie ap-
pealed to the ambassador and after
much red tape obtained a transfer from
Chinkiang TO his old post, Che Foo
Mrs. Grey heard the news with Ian
guild smile. So low was her vitality
that the prospect of exchanging dreary
and miasmatic Chinkiang for sunny
and picturesque Che Foo hardly stir
red her heart. Grey noticed her apa-
thy, but said nothing. She had played
her part in his life's drama and now
was of but secondary Importance.
Wealth and power were to come to him
through the stalwart baby growing in
the garden with the nurse. Within a
year or two, according to reports from
home, the present baronet would be no
more, and then a new career would be-
gin for both the baby and his father.
Preparations for the voyage to the
north were soon made. They sailed
down the mighty river to Shanghai and
waited in that metropolis for a coast
by some coincidence it proved to be the
same which had carried both Miss Ire
velyan and thereafter Grey from Che
Foo to Shanghai. The master, Captain
Daniels, gave them hearty welcome
and set aside for them the best cabin in
his stanch little boat
The northeast monsoon had just set
in, and the voyage up to the Shangtung
promontory was rough and depressing.
Mrs. Grey kept to her bed, while Grey
passed his time with the officers and
engineers. Thesbaby and nurse had the
saloon to themselves, where the former
made merry from dawn until dark. AS
they passed the promontory and en-
tered the Yellow sea the weather be-
gan to change, and the day on which
they reached Che Foo saw clear,
warm Sky and a smooth sea.
Mrs. Grey was carried out upon the
deck and laid, carefully wrapped, in a
long chair. Near her in another chair
was the nurse with the child. The ap-
preaching end of the journey was af-
fecting all of the party. The sick wo-
man had hectic flush on her cheeks
which made her look quite beautiful.
The nurse was attired in rich blue silk,
and in her hair We're the jeweled pins
in vogue among the women of Shang-
tung. The baby was Respondent in
fine linen. Ere long they saw the blue
hills and silver beach of their destina-
ton. Grey strolled to the party and
said:
''There is my old home and hereafter,
l hope, ours AS he spoke the nurse
looked up at him moment and then,
lowering her gaze, seemed unconscious
of his presence But in that look there
was an expression which would have
chilled him to the heart could he have
seen it.
The sailors came forward and took
down the railing where the companion
ladder was to hang and also that near
the hatch from which the cargo is
hoisted AS they walked away to an
from the chair and with the baby in
her arms strolled to position near the
open rail- Then she turned and in a
voice which was strange to Mrs. Grey,
but familiar to Grey, said sharply:
