Child Marriages Increasing.

The custom of marrying girls
when they are mere children of
nine or ten years is increasing
rather than decreasing in Bengal
and other parts of India. The re-
sultlng racial degeneration is be-
coming so obvious that laws have
been passed in several regions for
bidding the marriage of girls un-

BODY A POISON FACTORY.
When the Stomach Is Crippled the
Whole System Becomes
Perverted

The body is factory of poisons.
If these poisons, which are con-
stantly being produced in large
quantities in the body, are imper-
fectly removed or are produced in
too great quantity as the result of
overlooking, the fluids which sur
round the brain cells and all the
living tissues are contaminated
with poisonous substances which
asphyxiate and paralyze the cells,
and so interfere with their activ.
ity. This fact explains, in part at
least, the stupidity which is COM
mon after-dinner experience with
many persons, says London Family
Doctor.
When food is retained in the
stomach beyond the normal time,
either because of its indigestibil-
ity, the taking of too large guam
tity of it, or crippled state of the
stomach. these changes are certain
to take place. This fact explains a
very large share of the myriad
symptoms which affiict the chronic
dyspeptic. The giddiness, the
tingling sensations, the confusion
of thought, and even partial in
sensibility, which are not infre-
uently observed a few hours after
meals in chronic dyspeptics, are
due to this cause. Here is the ex-
PLANTATION of the Feasibility, the
dependency, the pessimism, the
indecision, and various other
forms of mental perversity and
even moral deprayity, which are
not infrequently associated with
certain forms of gastro-intestinal
disturbances.

Meantime Perton had a trying

positors grew weary of drawing

having come TO grief in striving to

THE TANNING
OF OLD T0BASC0

His name, as shown by the pap
tismal records, is Rufus Perton.
but within the big circle of his ac-
quaintance and those who know
of him only by reputation, he is
most frequently spoken of as cold
-Tobaseo." The title has the merit
of being self-explanatory. Mr..
Perton is decidedly peppery, and
red-peppery at that. Being a stout
parsonage with an amount of
blood that would have called for
the periodical use of the lancet in
the earlier days, it is the wonder
of many that he has escaped apo
plexy as the result of his fits of
anger.
Our story starts with one of his
violent explosions. His only child,
Margaret Perton, and she moth
erless, had just come back from Il
long stay ON the ranch of a west
ern uncle. Not only had her
health been restored to perfec-
ton, but she had breathed the
hardy independence of the plains
and gained a clear idea of how she
would be pleased TO shape her flu
ture. One evening after Rufus
had enjoyed good dinner,
lounged in his easiest chair, had
his slippered feet on soft rest,
smoked big cigar and grunted DC.
casionally just from sheer salts
faction, she thought it the best
possible time to confide in him one
of woman's greatest secrets.
"Pops," and she had snuggled to
him on the arm of the chair, Il am
engaged to be married"
He answered with a non-coIn-
initial growl and a perceptible
stiffening, which she met with a
closer hug.
Eyes, he's a great big western
er, handsome, brave and chival-
rous."
Old Tobasco was struggling to
get to his feet and she was re-
straining him with much the skill
of collar-and-elbow wrestler.
"Wait, pops" she kept on, in her
cool, even tones, "he's a son TO
make any father proud and the
woman who becomes his wife will
be blessed to the end of her days"
BY this time the scarlet-faced
pater had broken her clinging
grip and was dancing about her,
voice, eyes, features and motions
expressing his anger.
"Whatw he shouted, "you dare
to tell me that you have arranged
TO marry cattle puncher and a
broncho buster? Do you suppose
I will entertain an evening caller
with a sombrero, spurs and all the
rest of a woolly western outfit,
swallowing a knife blade when he
eats, telling our guests how to
brand mavericks and Dragging
about how many he has killed in
the fight for free grass? Yoke up
with that sort of a savage and
you'll never get cent of my
money"
"Please control yourself, pops;

"Name no names to me. You've
told me too much now. Just set
right down and write him that the
deals closed with him out of it.

couldn't capitalize him for any
thing better than a side show"

her smile was oil on the waters.

inherited patience. You can make

talking with him, having a rubber
of cribbage with him, and secur-
ing the privilege of walking home
with the old gentleman. On the
way they encountered two foot
pads, and the younger man dis
posed of them in such quick time
that Perton required another
block before he was wrought to
the pitch of anger which he
i thought the occasion demanded.
He was enthusiastic in telling
his daugf er of the affair next
morning, and took 0ffense that
she congratulated him without
bestowing any special praise on
his champion. He called atten-
ton to the lapse, but she asked
him 10 remember that her ideal
was of the west, and that he must
not expect an immediate transfer
of her allegiance.
The young mans name was Clay
Wesson, a we'll set-up, athletic
chap, with Il clear blue eye, strong
jaw and that diplomatic sort of
independence that does not of
fend. In one way and another the
club men expressed the opinion
that he would be a hard one to
beat, and that it was better to
have him for friend than an en-
envy. But the puzzle to them all
was that he gave so much atten-
i ton to the fiery and untamed Per
+ ton. Ii was not uncommon for
them to get into a heated discus
sion, the older gentleman supply
ing the heat, and what the amused
observers enjoyed most was to
see him so effectually taken in
hand and cooled off by the visitor
who had come with such excellent
+ letters of introduction.
This was an up-to-date club, and
among its pastimes was steeple
chase, scheduled as an annual af-
! fair. This event accounted for the
extra horses kept by "Old Tabas-
co." and it was laughed at as CO.
incidence that most of his runners
i had his temper. II was gentlemen
riders up in these affairs, and Per
ton made his nearest approach to
stroke when he learned that
/ the young man who was 10 act for
him in the saddle had decided that
it was more important to go
abroad, where pressing business
matters" called him.
"What's the cub mean?" raved
Perton. Bobby knows that
Flashlight is the best horse ever
owned; that he can win the race
if he wants to behave himself, and
that no one else available can ride

member, who had no special OBJ

BILE old gentleman got no farther,
as Wesson cut in with: Take you

Several of the members thought
I that the guest was rather forward
for a comparative stranger and
sent in solid wagers at a rafting
pace for a few minutes. The only
visible result upon Wesson APP

Remembered Instructions.

The American lady who entertained
the duchess Of Marlborough during
her recent visit to the States took the
trouble, before the arrival of her
guest, To instruct the maid who was
to wait upon her that she must adj
dress her properly.
When you show her to her room,
the mistress said, lyon must be sure
to remember to say your grace
"0h, I'd be sure to be that Mustered,
ma rm, that never could do it,
Nonsense, her mistress answered,
there is nothing to be Mustered about.
In due time the duchess arrived, and
after the first greetings had been ex-
changed, the maid was summoned to
conduct her to- her chamber. The girl
came forward, blusing and evidently
much confused. When she was face
to face with the guest she suddenly
clasped her hands, bowed her head,
and, to the boundless amazement as
well as amusement of her mistress,
she murmured, in a choked voice
For what we are about to receive
may we be truly thankful. Amen.
