"' Now, William, says he, real solemn,
not havin', in your brief but miserable
existence, run up agi anything any
tougher, you might, at first glance,
think that about as tough as they make
'em, but that's because you never felt
a consumin' desire to talk foolish to
woman who can't understand you any
wav YOU can fix it. Now, says he, any
other man would have fallen in love
with a blushin female critter who the
same had all the human faculties worth
mentionin'; but, William, it was for me
to continue to exist for forty long and
lonesome years and then get loco over
the first woman | ever see who couldn
hear me if she wanted to and couldn't
tell me if she did

That's just what's got me on the

thing I'd ever seen before, unless twas
somethin' peculiar. Now says l, If you
could only write.
For several solemn moments Luke
looks at me in a gruff tone of voice,
then he fishes a piece of paper from his
pocket and hands it to me. What's
that?' says he naughty.

Luke wilted like a srinflower in a
SIMEON. This, says he, is what L call
sire disheartenin'. Waited ten years to
deliver that speech, William, and she's
so cussed def she couldn't hear 1t thunder
down the ages. It's discouragin to
American oratory.
1T is .discouragin', says l; but if
she didn't hear you, maybe she won't
Law it up ag'in' you none
THAT night Miss Angel sleeps in Our

forty feet and can't tech bottom. I'm
in it so internal deep you couldn't get
me out with a blasted old dredge boat.
He had me chokin' to death. Luke
gasps |, is it's it Miss Angel?'
Ya-a-as,' says he, sighin' awful.

Bells of Christmas
BY Madeline Bridges

BY Madeline Bridges
No other bells that ever rang
Der land or sea were like to these;
No other chimes, nor melodies,
Nor any song that poet sang
OF Life's swift-changing histories,
Of Deaths unbrollen mysteries
Gave such strange music to the breeze
Nor swept on the wind wings so far
High, and beyond the highest star,
Far as the doors of Heaven are.
All other bells that be, ring clear
And loud and sweet for the worlds ear:
Cadences tuned to bliss and woe.
Soft bridal lays, sad dirges slow,
Glad peals for JOY, low peals for prayer;
But this, that thrills the Christmas air,
Breaks all of silence everywhere.
The living and the dead are stirred,
As with one vast outreaching word
The gra11dest ever said or heard.
Chime! bells of Heaven, with clang and
clang,
Ger all the lands, DER all the seas
No other Eells that ever rang
Since time began were like to these.

Sherlock Holmes says 1, but it looks
to me like war map of the battle OF
Lie-and-Run Where'd We find it, LukeE
Huh says he, like he's perform1n
a painful duty, that's poetry.
''.'Poetry?' cries l, fearin' the worst.
Is it possible2'
Real, genooine poetry says he.
Luke says |, in sorrer and tears
L don't want to jedge no lvin' critter
without a hearin'. Now, if there be any
extenuatin' circumstances
"'Writ it about her, says he. Want
to hear it,
81 amt fee1in' very we'll says L.;
but if it will ease your Conscience
We'll says he, squintin' like it hurt
him, 1t says-ah, um, it says-well, by
thunder! why this mornin' could read
it just as easy
Maybe you're holdin' it upside
down, says l cautious.
:" Huh, yel1s he, don't you reckon
my poetry knows enough to stand on its
own feet? Say! don't ye? Anyway he
continues, 1t runs along as cheerful as an
innercent little child, and says will she
marry me? | showed it to her
"'You did?' says l, purt' nigh scarf
to death.
And you oughter seen her when
she read it. says he. She puts on an
expression which the same was con-
siderable different from any was ac-
quainted with and writes back to know
is it hog-cholera cure.
Il begins to savvy it's goin' to take
considerable work to float Luke's bonds
of matrimony Howsomever, l thought
the result might be worthy of the effort,
for L could sense a fate less pleasant than
bein' married to a woman who can't
ALWAYS have the last word. So my
spirits begin purrin' when Luke comes
rippfin' to me one day, wearin' a smile
about two sizes too big for him, and says
he knows of a feller over to Cheyenne
who peddles out the deef-and-dumb
lingo. and he's goin' to squander five
dollars anyway for luck and general
results. So | bid him a fond farewell
and let him go.
Hes gone three days. When he re-
turns he plants himself in front of me
and begins to vibrate his fingers like he
had an attack of Saint Vitus's dance.
Luke says l, L ought to be sorry
for you, but l amt. You ought to have
known better
why says he, that was Howdy
do?" in this here mute language
"'Well, then says l, If it's that much
trouble, I'm sure glad you didn't address
me in words of more'n one syllable
AT last cries he, sufferin' a stroke
of hilariousness, at last, William, l can
express my ingrowin' affection for angel

ten mile, and the next minute he's
evo1uted into a battered wreck. With
wonder and vain regret / gathers up his
mortal remains and finds he's fractured
both wrists and his vi'lent temper.
Here moans he in mOurnfu1 num-

Luke says L consolin', YOU sure

of any male human in history, ancient,

to me that when | amt nursIn' a sore

long into a new misfortune which no
man never had the delirium trembleS

Luke sat up and took notice. And
what was that2' he says, tremblin' with
aPprehensions.
This mornin',' says /, as came
around the corner of the cabin, there
stands Miss Angel, and IN her pretty
little hands is two of the biggest and
most reckless pistols l ever see at one
look, which the same is starin' at me in
a way that didn't add none to my pussOnal
comfort Not wishin' to disturb the
1ady's meditations, | quit movin' with
considerable suddenness- Just then here
comes Mr.. Swan Golly sailin' by. bag
of our gold nuggets under each arm for
ballast and p'intin' towards their hOsses
tied to a tree. Them sure was signs
which it didn't need no course in calls

YOU can't hear, for | have a yearnin' in
my heart to tell you that I've been held

peculiar notions, is mans job why

With that l gives yell like a Co
manche and jumps into the air, CraCkiu'
my heels together. Miss Angel grows
several degrees timid, gives a screech
like cattymount and drops her hands
to her sides. Just then old Death-and-
Destruction, the best gun that ever got
a gent outen an embarrassin' position,
appeared on the scene and matters grew

THE TRUTH ALWAYS.

"When you are in doubt tell
the truth" It was an expert
enced old diplomat who said this
to a beginner N the work. 1t
may pass in some things, but
not in business. Fraud and de-
ception are often profitable SO
long as concealed; yet detection
is certain sooner or later; then
comes the smash-up and the
punishment. The best and safest
way is to tell the truth all the
time. Thus you make friends
that stick by you, and a reputa-
ton that is always worth twen-
ty shillings to the pound every
where your goods are offered for
sale. We are able modestly to
affirm, that it is on this basis
that the worldwide popularity of
WAMPOLE'S PREPARATION
rests. The people have discov-
cred that this medicine is exact
~ what it is said to be, and
that it does what we have al
ways declared it will do. It's ma
ture also has been frankly made
known. 1t is palatable as honey
and contains all the nutritive and
curative properties of Pure Cod
Liver Oil, extracted by US from
fresh cod livers, combined with
the Compound Syrup of Hypo-
phosphites and the Extracts of
Malt and Wild Cherry. A COM
bination of supreme excellence
and medicinal merit. Nothing
has been SO successful in Ane-
mia, Scrofula, Bronchitis, Infu-
enza, Loss of Flesh and VAST
ing Diseases, Weakness and Low
Nervous Tone, and all COM
plants caused by Impure Blood.
DR.. Austin D. Irvine, of Canada,
says: "I have used it in cases
where cod liver oil was indica-
ted but could not be taken by
the patient, and the results fol-
lowing were very gratifying" It
cannot deceive or disappoint you,
is effective from the first dose
and comes to the rescue of those
who have received no benefit
from any other treatment It
represents the dawn of progress.
Sold by all chemists ever where.
