0vo Ciot!, Bound,

An east side school teacher, learning
that girl pupil was sick, went to visit
her.
The good hearted instructor having
called at the child's home before had no
difficulty in finding her, though the quar-
tiers were at the top Of a densely popu-
lated tenement.
The mother was absent, and the little
S-year-old Susie by name, well wrapped
up, was sitting on the side of the bed.
After some talk, the teacher, observing
that the child spoke with difficulty, said.
"Susie, l am going to examine your
lungs"
"Yesm," dutifully responded Susie, as
teacher began to loosen the young
ster's waist. After removing it, the
teacher found layer upon layer of fan
mel, which she unfastened with no little
difficulty. satisfying herself that there
was no danger Of pneumonia. Then she
began to replace the child's dress, when
Susie gave way to a flood of tears.
"Mommer will be awful mad at you
when she finds out!'
"Why, SUSSEX exclaimed the teacher,
what do you mean!"

flannels, an mommer had jest got me all

The Ideal Family Laxative

is one that can be used by the entire
family, young and old, weak and strong,
should have properties which insure the
same dose always having the same effect,
otherwise the quantity will have to be
increased and finally lose its effect alto
gether. These properties can be found in
that old family remedy, Brandreth's Pills,
because its ingredients are of the purest
herbal extracts, ard every pill is kept for
three years before being sold, which al
lows them to mellow. We do not believe
there is a laxative on the market that is
so carefully made.
Bran Ieth's Pills are the same a. lax
alive tonic pill your grandparents used.
They have been in use for over century
and are sold in every drug store and medi-
cine store either plain or sugar coated.

Glover is injured when cattle are

allow cows to use the clover fields

Poor Season Predicted.

James K Hackett, husband of
Mary Mannering, takes gloomy
and pessimistic view of the coming
theatrical season, forecasting small
profits and many disasters, as the re-
suit of the prevailing craze for motor
ing and bridge whist In speaking
of the prospects for the coming win
ter, Hackett said:
"The future is not filled with
brightness and cheer for theatrical
managers or players. The public has
taken to motoring with such earnest
ness that the direct effect upon the
theaters is really alarming. What
motoring hasn't accomplished in this
line in the last season has been done
by bridge whist, and as | expect that
the same causes will affect the com
ing season, | look for grave condi-
ton in theatricals.
This is the view of many foreign
managers, as well as many other man
ayers in this country Those from
whom the theaters have derived their
greatest revenue in the past are now
finding their amusement and pastime
in motoring, and even though they
return in time from their daily trips
to attend the theatcr they prefer to
spend the evening at the bridge whist

she responded:
ct is a wonderful experience to

The city was always so kindly in its
welcome to me that 1 have felt it to
be my American home, and now
when I come back to find it in ruins
II gives ne curious inspiration. After
the first pang of sorrow over its
vanished beauty, I suddenly realized
that an unconquerable spirit is ex-
pressed in the moving of each fallen
stone and the activity Of each busy
man or woman encountered in the

She Does Not Find Fault.

AT first, yes" she answered. Then,
glancing at the curtain that hid the
big auditorium, she added:
After I begin to act I forget all
outward things. Perhaps that means
that I am lacking in the technique
that forbids the modern actor to feel
the emotions he initiates. But don't
think I am finding fault with any
ching in San Francisco she ex-
planned. I believe that it is pos
sible to make ones environment ap-
pear what it should be if one acts
with supreme art. 1t has occurred
to me that I would be able to give
effective performance in the ruins OF

structure suitably situated Perhaps

Constance Crawley will do some
