Will E Collins e. Co. the reliable
druggists of Owosso are having calls
for "HINDIPO," the new kidney. cure
and Nerve Tonic tina they are selling
under positive guarantee.
It's merits are becoming the talksof
the town and everybody wants to try
it, and why not2 1t costs nothing if
it don't do yougood-not one cent.
They don't want your money if it
does not benefit you, and will cheerfully
refund the money.

others cost too much. So one day,
while the question was being discuss
ed, Mrs. Pierce, their landlady, said:
"Why don't you club together and
get one real nice hat in partnership
But we couldn't wear 1t both at
once" said Minnie.
II don't see how 1t could be man
aged" said Mary thoughtfully, yet she
was ready to be convinced, as they had
toned above.
'Why, Minnie goes to 10 o'clock mass
in her church way downtown, and you
go to evening service in another
church."
II might want to go in the evening,
too" said Minnie.
"Now, see here; the hat you want is
a good investment. 1t will do over
four or five seasons, and the lace is
good. New flowers won't cost much.
To have 1t you must make concessions.
1t costs more than either alone can
pay. Fix it this way: Minnie has it
one Sunday and Mary the next. And
if you do as / say about the churches
no one will ever know but you each
have one"
II am willing if Minnie is"
"I'm agreeable" said Minnie. "But
who Is to wear it first?"
well do as the men do-spin pen
ny, and If it falls head up it Is Mary,
and if tails it Is Minnie"
THAT'S fair" said Minnie Mrs.
Pierce, with great gravity, spun
penny, which fell with the Indians
face down. So Minnie was to wear it
first.
They bought the hat that night. Both
tried it on in their ordinary and then
their best suits. Minnie wore a high
pompadour and tipped the hat back on
her head so that 1t formed an aureole
above her face. Mary brought 1t down
over her brow, as she wore her abun-
dant hair simply parted and braided ut
the back and coiled there The hat
adapted itself to each pretty face.
1t must be admitted that Mary sigh
ed as Minnie walked proudly Off that
first Sunday. Somehow the bloom was
rubbed off the plum ever so little. 81
do hope 1t won't rain" thought Mary.
One day Minnie came home, with
very red cheeks, and she was not alone,
for young Ferguson, one Of the boss
foremen, came with her. 1t was evil
dent that he was desperately In love
with her, though his admiring glances
fell more often on the hat than on Min
ME herself. Minnie took the hat Off
and gave 1t to Mary, who suddenly
noticed two very big pin holes In the
crown. If in three Sundays it was go
ing to show signs of wear Minnie
ought to be more careful. 1t belonged
to her as much as to Minnie and Min
ME was very careless, and the way
Minnie wore her hair no hat could be
expected to stay on unless 1t was fairly
skewered. Really she must speak TO
Minnie, but of course not before Mr..
Ferguson. So she brushed the hat ten
derby, covered 1t with tissue paper and
laid 1t In the box.
The next Sunday Mary went to
church, leaving Minnie the picture Of
desolation, and Mary did not return
alone. Mr.. Elverton, the handsome
young clerk of the district court. had
had his eyes compelled by the sweet
face of Mary but more by the elegant
hat, with its fine pink roses half buried
