distinguished-look man of the
world She was pretty little thing
in the full bloom of Womanhood, with
fluffy golden hair, deep blue eyes ana
a pearl -and-ruby combination of teeth

away, smoking absently and gazing
thoughtfully out across the water
The man was watching her with his
heart in his eyes. Presently he spoke

The Remedy Used by MIR. schroeppei and
by Captain Ialfour in Great Demand In
Vicinity of Their Homes.
In the winter of 1923 Mr.. Schroeppel
was confined to his bed by severe at
tack of rheumatism. His doctors treat
ment proved unsuccessful but he subse
quently regained his health by means
which he describes with great enthu-
siasm
after five or six weeks of helpless
ness and pain, said he, during which
| was receiving regular visits from the
doctor, felt as bad as ever. Just then
my mother woman eighty years OF
age. paid me visit. She had received
great benefit from DR. Williams Pink
Pills, and she was CONFIDENT they would
help me. At her solicitation ! gave mp
the doctors treatment and took the pills
in its place.
"And were you cured as the result of
taking her advice?"
Yes, quickly and thoroughly. Be-
fore the second box was finished felt
very manifest improvement, aud within
two weeks was able to leave my bed and
take up my neglected farm work. con-
tinued to use the pills, however, until
eight boxes had been taken, although
long before that felt that every YES.
tige of the disease had been eradicated.
"Are there no traces left?"
absolutely none. For year and
three months there has never been the
slightest return Of the old trouble. For
this happy result and my family freely
praise DIR. Williams Pink Pills"
Within the bounds of China township,
st. Clair county, Mich, there is no bet
ter known farmer than Mr.. Henry
Schroeppel His cure has therefore nat
urally attracted a great deal of attention.
One of Mr.. Schroeppel's neighbors, Cap
tain George Balfour, after hearing of the
salutary results in Mr.. Schroeppel' case,
decided to try Dir. Williams Pink Pills
for an attack Of rheumatism from which
he was himself suffering. He took eight
or ten boxes and now declares himself
free from the painful ailment.
1t is little wonder that DIR. Williams
Pink Pills are much in fl or in the COM
munity where Mr.. Schroeppel and Cap
tain Balfour are so well and favorably
known They are sold by all druggists
and are equally successful i'll curing
neuralgia, sciatica and partial paralysis.

TRUE TO HIS INSTINCT.
ST, Bernard Dog sprane Into Manhole
to Rescue Child.

TO Rescue Inliu.
Ralph Johnson, son of New
Orleans street pedler, had the honor
of being saved by St Bernard dog
to whom he was an utter stranger.
The story is told by the Bay City
Times.
At Valence street and st. Charles
avenue sewerage is being construct
ed When the workmen quit the well
for the day the manhole was lett
open. Mrs. Johnson, with her boy,
years old and wearing dress,
were in the vicinity, the mother try
ing to sell laces.
While the mother had gone to a
house in the block the child remained
on the sidewalk for a while, and then
walked to the manhole and peered
into it. Accidentally he fell in The
child screamed loudly for help, but
being about six feet under the ground
no one heard the cries,
Just at this time an old milkman
passed. With him was great 81
Bernard dog. The dog heard the
cries of the child, and for second
could not locate them. The child
cried again, and this time the dog
plunged into the well and seized the
childs clothing in its mouth.
The dog held the little boy above
the water until both dog and child
were hoisted out of the manhole by
passersby The dog then trotted
along after the old milkman as though
saving a childs life were an everv-
day occurrence.

He regarded her compassionately
for moment, then walked away with
bowed head.
The big, bearded man came to her
out of the shadows near the port rail,
and laid his hand tenderly upon her
bowed head.

vibrant with happiness, look up"

The other man, returning, saw and

The thickness of armor on modern
warships is truly astonishing. The
side armor of a first class battleship
usually varies from 16h inches thick
at the top of the belt to 9k inches at
the bottom. The gun turrets are often
protected by armor from Is inches to

Country House STYLES.

AT stylish country houses in Eng
land, says Vanity Fair, good deal of
the time of the ladies is taken up with
changing their dresses. Smart gowns
are worn for breakfast, to be replaced
shortly after by serviceable tweed or
frieze for going out. Tea gowns are
worn for tea and low dresses with
diamonds for dinner.

MORE MONEY NEEDED.

The question OF federal taxation Ia

Dodge, Washington Correspondent OF
the Milwaukee Sentinel, says:
"The condition OF the government
finances Is such as to require attention
before many days. With the con
stantly increasing expenditures OF the
federal government, and an inflow OF
revenues substantially the same from
year to year, there can be but one
outcome, and that Is IL deficit In the
treasury. unless means are taken To
correct these conditions by supplying
revenues. An Increase OF revenues by
means of reduced customs duties
means nm increase Of competing com
moditles In the markets OF the United
States, and that Is IL situation which
Is not regarded rs desirable. How to
increase the revenues, and at the
same time keep down, or equltably
distribute the burdens of internal
taxes, and maintain, to as great an
extent as possible, tho protective pol
Icy OF the government IL the whole is
sue Of the revenue question stated In u
word. IL is to accomplish this that
congress will sooner or later be com

Seventh Grade Pupils Entitled
tn Credit.

On Monday, March 6, two problems
in "Partial Payments" not contained
In the regular textbook were given as
a regular lesson to the seventh grade
students. The answers we're not pre-
viously given to the class, but on
Tuesday morning forty-four papers
containing the same identical and
correct results we're placed upon the
table. The average age of these
pupils as shown by the register Is ID
years. How is this for a class of
forty-four young pupils?
This was not special effort of the
class, but regularly assigned lesson.
No comment was made by the teacher
upon the assignment OF the lesson,
nor was there any intention Of making
any subsequent display of the work.
| found the papers upon the teachers
desk, and was Immediately attracted
by the accuracy OF the work. The
papers are now In my Office and are
open to inspection.
1t is justly due to the class to state
that this Is not the first instance in
which the members of the entire class
have obtained the same results to
difficult problems, but we refer to this
instance because OF the difficulty of
attaining the SAME and CORRECT re-
suits to such problems. 1t speaks
we'll for the class, and Is certainly
evidence OF the enviable reputation
which Miss Cummings has always
merited as n teacher OF mathematics.

day OF May one OF the purchasers gets
q thousand dollar bill and pays his
note. 1t Is passed along from one to
another until all the notes are paid
and destroyed. The horse only re-
mains. Is 1t possible, 10 few days,
convert a 81 900 horse into million
dollar OF honest assessable property
and destroy that property the next
day with a thousand dollar bill? The
absurdity OF taxing credits is thus
plainly shown. The owner OF the
horse on the first day OF May should
pay tax on him. No one else
should be asked to pay tax on the
horses shadow.
"The same Is true OF corporate
bonds and stocks. They are simply
evidences that the holder has parted
with his money and become a fraction
al owner OF some corporate property,
which presumably pays taxes on all
its property. To tax these stocks and
bonds is, beyond doubt, double tax
alton, which, however lawful, Is abso-
lutely foolish and unjust"

Madison Democrat.
Why should machines which are
considered too vile for great city
like Minneapolis be allowed to run
unmolested In Mineral Point? The
town Is growing worse In this regard.
Not many years ago gambling imple-
ments were barred out. There ought
to be enough healthy public sentiment
In the community to prevent degener-
alton The Democrat doubts not that
many OF the men who keep slot ma
chimes dislike gambling rs a calling;
but they are largely influenced by the
fact that nearly all OF their COMPETE
tors thus gather In the coin from those
who are foolish enough to drop it in
tho slot.
TO get rid OF these machines Is a
duty which the keepers OF them owe to
themselves and to the community. II
they do not get rid OF them volun-
tarlly, the city authorities should put
the laws In force against them.
