A Fable.

A Blond Haired girl woke from q
long and dreamy sleep. She opened
her Baby Blue eyes and Bethought
herself that She had an Engagement
with the Young man that she hoped
would soon be reckoned among her
Assets. She rose and went to the mir
ror. One Glance into it sent the blood
from her cheeks, and her Baby Blue
eyes stared wildly. She pressed her
Eyelids down tightly, hoping to shut
out the horrid sight. Again she opened
them Perhaps her imagination had
played her trick. But, no; it was
there-the evidence against her plain
as the light of day.
Feverishly she searched among her
toilet articles for means to blot out the
Black Disgrace. None was at hand.
A low moan issued from her Blue lips.
Suddenly she gasped: "Oh, JOY! Broth
er Bob-Brother Bob he froze his nose
last month" Softly Stealing to her
Brothers room, she distracted the Vial
of Peroxide with which he had bleach
ed the inflammation from His Frozen
Nose. In a Moment the Original Black
was fading from the Roots of her
Blond Tresses, and her halo was again
a Thing of Beauty.

Humor ana Philosophy

THE OLD, OLD STORY.

The spring election days are near,
When politicians front and flank
Into your off, unwilling ear
Pour lies as oil into tank
And lead you to the foaming beer
And shed cigars both cheap and rank.
You get the glad, impulsive mitt
On turning to the left or right;
You make a most decided hit
With men possessed Of second sight,
Who slyly hint that you are 1t
If lined up with the boy who's right -
The stranger cold of yesterday
Is now your dearest schoolboy chum;
He slaps you on the back at play
In manner blithe and frolicsome;
He wants you on election day
To help him pick some juicy plum.
You did not dream a week ago
That you a person were Of note,
The star performer in the show,
Whose witty bits would do to quote:
Now that you have a mighty vote
You're quite "a poem one should
know"
Into your letter box at night
The postman drops the billet doux
In language classic and polite
Emphatically inviting you
For honest officers to fight
And thus pull some cheap graftes
through.
All, well, we cannot wholly blame
The politician for his tricks.
We'd doubtless do the very same
II we were only in his fix,
And, hunting for official gain,
With saints and sinners we would mix

CONSTANT BIRDS.

Baldheaded Eagles and Golden
WoOdpeckers Mate but Once.
The married life Of most birds could
be taken for model even by members
of the human family. There is. for
instance. the staid, dignified and home
~ baldheaded eagle, the glorious en-
blem of the American republic. He
mates but once and lives with his one
mate until he or she dies. If left a
widower-even a young widower-the
baldheaded eagle never mates again.
He remains alone and disconsolate in
the nest on the rock crag or in the
branches of a tall pine that formed
his domicile while his mate was alive.
No other female eagle can tempt him
to forsake his disconsolate life. With
him, once a widower, always a wild
over.
The golden woodpeckers live in a
happy married state, mating but once.
If the male dies his mates grief is
lasting. and she lives widowed bird
the rest Of her life. So. too, the male
woodpecker never seeks another mate
after the death Of his own. He taps
on a tree beside their nest day and
night trying to recall her; then at
length. discouraged and hopeless, he
becomes silent and never RECEIVERS his
gayety-Chicago Tribune.

CHANGED HUSBAND. Wife Made Wise Change in Food.

Change of diet is the only way to really cure stomach and bowel trou- ble.
 A woman says:
 My husband had dyspepsia when we were married and had suffered rom 1t for several years. It was all most impossible to find anything he could eat without bad results.
 'I thought this was largely due to the use of coffee and persuaded him to discontinue it. He did so. and began to drink Postum Food Coffee. The change did him good from the be- ginning, his digestion improved: he suffered much less from his nervous ness, and when he added Grape Nuts food to his diet he was soon entirely cured.
 My friend, Mrs. - of VicI<s- burg. (my former home) had become a nervous wreck also from dyspepsia. Medicines had no effect, neither did travel help her. On my last visit home. some months ago, I persuaded her to use Grape-Nuts food. She was in de- sDair, and consented. She stuck to it until it restored her health so com pleteIy that she is now the most en- thusiastic friend of Grape-N Nuts that ever knew. She eats it with cream or dry, just as it comes from the pack aSe-Eeeps it in her room and eats it whenever she feels like it.
 T began eating Grape-Nuts food. myself, when my baby was two months old. and l don't know what I should have done without it. My appetite was gone, 1 was weak and nervous and af- fOrded but very little nourishment for the child. The Grape-Nuts food, of which l soon grew very fond speedily set all this right again. and the baby grew healthful. rosy and beautiful as q mother could wish. He is two years old now and eats Grape-Nuts food himself. I wish every tired young mother knew of the good that Grape Nuts would do her.
