So gentermenly an perlite,
An she Is awful sure that he
Would never throw stone or fight
She says be does as he Is bid
l think I'D like to lick that kidd
She says he never tears his cio'es
An loves to wash his hands and face,
An when he's through with things he goes
An puts them back right In their place.
I'm glad I'm not like him you bet;
I'D hate to be a mommer's pet.
An then he never makes q noise,
But plays at some NICE quiet game.
He Isn't built like other boys,
i guess. but sm all the same.
I'd think they'd put his hair I'm curl;
He amt much better than a girl.
Nom talks about him all the time,
An wishes was more like him.
She thinks ought to be. but I'm
Afraid the chance Is sorter slim.

The Greatest Circus.

The greatWallace Shows which will
exhibit in Lexington on Thursday.
Oct. 20, was called "rhe greatest
show" in an editorial mention by
the Post, of Washington, D. C. In
part the Post said:
"The great Wallace show repre-
sents all that there is OF the legiti-
mate worth in the circus business.
1t is in charge of men who aspire to
elevate the tone and purify the at.
mosphere OF the calling, and we be-
lieve that the thousands who have
attended the performances during
the past two days will certify that
they have succeeded. Not only was
the performance up to the highest
professional and artistic standpoint,
the menageris large and varied, and
the trained animals Of the best, but
there was not IN connection with
the Wallace show single one OF
those discreditable and demoralizing
features which have done so much to
givo the circus bad name and to
discourage the true friends Of that
otherwise wholesome form OF amuse-
ment."
The local railroad agents can give
information as to reduced rates to
Lexington on Thursday, Oct. 20, the
date Of the exhibition of the WAL
lace shows.

Emergency Medicines.

1t is great convenience to have on
hand reliable remedies for use in case
of accident and for slight injuries and
ailments. A good liniment and one
that is fast becoming favorite If not a
household necessity, is Chamberlain's
Pain Balm. By applying it promptly
to cut, bruise or burn it allays the
pain and causes the injury to heal in
about one-third the time required, and
as it is an antiseptic, it prevents any
danger of blood poisoning. When Pain
Balm is kept at hand sprain may be
treated before Inflammation sets in,
which insures quick recovery. For

His sudden words, removing all
doubts as to his purpose, awoke such
repugnance in her that for a moment
aversion was paramount to every other
feeling. Again she looked without, but
only the solitude of the fields and for
ests met her glance.
The remoteness of the situation gave
the very boldness of his plan feasibil-
ity. Was he not his own magistrate In
his own province? Why, then, he had
thought waste the golden moments?
He had but one heed nova study of
physical beauty against a crimson
background.

the wildernessw he said softly. 1.-THE
gates of art should all open to you.
Why should you play to rustic bump
kins when the world of fashion would
gladly receive you? l am a poor
prophet if you would not be success
in town. 1t is not always easy to get
a hearing, to procure an audience, but
means could be found. Soon your
name would be on every ones lips
Your art is fresh. The jaded world
likes freshness. The cynical town runs
to artless art as an antidote to its own
poison. Most of the players are wrin-
killed. and worn. A young face will
seem like new grown white rose"
She did not answer. Unresponsive
as a statue, she did not move. The
sun shot beneath an obstructing
branch, and long, searching shafts
found access to the room. Mauville
moved forward impetuously until he
stood on the verge of the sunlight on

cause, Constance" he continued. "You
are naturally resentful toward me now.
But can | not show you that 1 have
your welfare at heart? If you were
