GAME THAT BoBBlE KNEW.
Youngsters Revelations Were Inter-
esting to Caller.

A young fellow had called upon q
girl with whose charms he was some
what smitten, and was waiting in the
parlor when her small brother come
in, weeping bitterly. From either a
sense of polite precaution or natural
kindness of heart, the young man had
been kind to the little fellow on sew
eral occasions, and now took him on
his lap and asked the cause of the
trouble.
"Sis-sister is mean to me-" the little
fellow sobbed.
ooh, guess she didn't intend to be;
maybe you worried her when she was
busy" the youth said consolingly
What was she doing?"
"She was playin, an wouldn't let
me play, too," Bobby said.
Playing what? The piano?

how"
"Oh, yes, 1 know how better'n she
Does" Bobby asserted. she was
playin' Indian, an wasn't putting hall

JEALOUS OF Boobies WIFE.
New York Woman's Excuse for Fits
of Extravaganza.

Women dearly love an excuse for
little eXtravagances, says the New
York Globe. OF course, the masculine
leaders of this column are not expect
ed to indorse this, for, according to
he masculine thought, women need
40 excuse for their eXtravagances--
they just have them without rhyme or
-eaSon.
An uptown woman has a charming
excuse for any extra indulgence in
her two-year-old blue-eyed son Bob
Die and Boobies future wife. In trust
;or Bobbie is handsome estate which
gives her great concern because she
'eels that she must save and econo-
nize for Bobbie, for Boobies college

Of economy, in a moment of reckless
extravaganza she'll buy lot of dear,
delightful things, have her fingers
nanicured, her hair shampooed and
take fascinating trips here and there.
And then when her conscience will
prick she'll say, why not? Boobies
wife will, and he won't care how
much it COSTS" And Boobies wife
won't, either. She'll spend joyously

COSTLY CLOTHES FOR WOMEN
Enormous Sums of Money Can b
Spent for Finery.

"As much as $50 a yard is often
paid for gold and silver tissue-cloth

gold at all. For cloth Of gold, the
real thing, is made of pure gold
drawn into fine wire, and then woven
by hand. Such cloth was often used
during the middle ages. 1t is now
used only in Sumatra It's cost is quite
5000 a yard.
THAT seems high, doesn't it? It is
nothing, though, beside the cost of
lace. A court train of MORE antique

was made in Paris for an American
lady last year at cost of $500.

WORST FORM OF ECZEMA.

about four years ago I was afflict-

which produced a severe itching irri-

deal of annoyance and suffering, to
such an extent that ! was forced to
call in two of the leading physicians
of my town. After thorough eXami-

announced it to be skin eczema in its
worst form. They treated me for the

the treatment did me no good. Fin

using the contents of the first bottle
of Cuticura Resolvent in connection
with the Cuticura Soap and Ointment

-Mrs: 2Hes/erIuwY

A nervous, irritable mother, often on
the verge of Mysteries, is unfit to care
for children; it ruins a child's DISPOSE
ton and reacts upon herself. The
trouble between children and their
mothers too often is due to the fact
that the mother has some female weak
ness, and she is entirely unfit to bear
the strain upon her nerves that govern
ing children involves; it is impossible
for her to do anything calmly.
The ills of women act like a frebrand
upon the nerves, consequently nine
tenths of the nervous prostration, ner-
vous dependency, the blues" sleep
lessness, and nervous irritability of
women arise from some arrangement
of the female organism.
Do you experience fits of depression
with restlessness, alternating with
extreme irritability? Are your spirits
easily affected, SO that one minute you
laugh, and the next minute you feel
like crying?
Do you feel something like a ball ris-
ing in your throat and threatening to
choke you; all the senses perverted,
morbidly sensitive to light and sound !;
pain in the abdominal region, and
between the shoulders; bearing down
pains; nervous dyspepsia and almost
continually cross and snappy?
If SO, your nerves are in a shattered
condition, and you are threatened with
nervous prostration.
Proof is monumental that nothing in
the world is better for nervous prostra-
ton than Lydia E. Pinkham's Vege-
table Compound; thousands and thou
sands of women can testify to this fact.

Arab Pasha Old and Friendless.

In a little house up a by street OF
the Mohammedan quarter, old, friend
less, broken, lives the man who might
have ruled Egypt.
If you ask 20 people in Cairo to-
day: Where is Arab Pasha?"' Is will
tell you that he is dead, while the
other five do not know. In fact, after
the bCmbardment of Alexandra he
was sent to exile for life in Ceylon,
but was allowed some four years ago
to return to his native city.
1t was only after a weeks hard fer
reting that l discovered through a ma
tive journalist the whereabouts OF
the great man.
Even now, in his SEVENTEEN year,
he is a big man. in his prime he must
have been immense. White hair and
beard; broad thoughtful forehead,
surmounted by the Turkish tarboosh;
kindly eyes, dulled little by age,
but lighting up wonderfully when he
talks about things which interest him;
a straight, powerful nose; large
mouth, which must once have been
hard and cruel, now softened by adj
versity. Though the day is warm,
he wears an overcoat, and he walks
heavily on a massive ebony stick

HARMFUL STOMACH DOSING
No Need Of il When Hyome Is Used to Cure
catanh.

Physicians aud scientists agree that
the less medicine one swallows, the bet
ter. 1t is in keeping with this idea that
Hyomei is recommended by leading ply
sicians throughout this and other ca
tarrhal sections.
When this treatment is used in ca
tarrhal troubles, there is no stomach
dosing, for the medicine is taken in with
the air you breathe, and goes right to
the spot where the catarrhal germs are
present, healing the inilamed and irri-
tated mucous membrane, killing the
disease germs and entering the blood
with the oxygen. driving all catarrhal
germs from the system.
Do not try to cure Itarrh of the head
by putting medicine into your stomach,
this is neither a scientific nor common
sense treatment. Breathe the healing
balsams of Hyomei and in a few days
you will notice relief, and its continued
use will result in a complete and lasting
cure.
Goolrick's Pharmacy have seen so
many cures made by Hyomei amongst
their customers, several of them cases
where all hope of relief had been given
up, that they give an absolute guaran-
tee of cure, or money will be refunded,
with every outfit they sell.
The complete Hyomei outfit costs but

needed, are only 80 cents. o9-19-30
