Charles Spurgeon once said there were
three great enemies to man-"dirt, debt
and the devil" He might have added
one more and included dyspepsia. The
evil result of this disease could hardly be
exaggerated. It's effects are felt in mind
and body, and are so far reaching as the
effects of the curse that was laid on the
Jackdaw of Rheims which was cursed in
"eating and drinking and sleeping, in
standing and sitting and lying" The
good effects of DR.. Pierce's Golden Med
ical Discovery are most marked in ag-
grayated and chronic cases of dyspepsia.

the necessary quantity of digestive fluids,

Rrevitx and Wit.

Brevity as the soul of wit is exem-
plified in many popular sayings. Wit
is by no means an inevitable ingredi-
ent in proverbs. Many of them are Of
doubtful sense, and some are foolish,
yet there is a certain spice. The defini-
ton Of proverbs by Howell as "Say-
ings which combine sense, shortness
and SALT" is in the main true. Though
truth may be altogether absent and wit
barely perceptible, yet there must be a
certain salt" which gives life and
SAVIOR to the saying
1t would be difficult to find sayings
more telling than some of the shortest
such, for instance, as "Forewarned,
forearmed," Extremes meet" or the
ancient Inter malleum ct lncudem"
between the hammer and the anvil
Many sayings which In English are
short were briefer still in their original
classical form.
That the soul of wit was exemplified
most strikingly among the Greeks is
only what we should expect. 1t Is curl
GUS to remember that our word "lacon-
ic" preserves the memory of the repu-
tation for cOnciseness of speech borne
by the people of one part of Greece
the Laconians or Spartans. When
Philip of Macedon threatened them, IF
l enter Laconia. will level your city
to the dust" they made the famous re
ply, "If"

There she goesi"

There she goesr
Little Compton gave the alarm, and
everybody in the Pasquale studio leap
ed for the windows as the white auto
mobile whizzed by. Four easels crash
ed on the floor. The model, a slender,
dryad figure, with a spray of spring
boughs over the bare shoulder and a
trail of grass green velvet from bust
to ankle, broke her pose and turned her
head.
Pasquale himself had been the first
to run and had front seat, SO to
speak, at the middle window, with
Jules lie Breton towering over him.
No one spoke until the moment of
suspense was passed and the white
auto had swerved around the corner of
the Boulevard des Anges. Then a low,
intense breath of released suspense
sounded audibly through the bare
room, and the Pasquale students stared
into one another's eyes, rapturously,
gloatingly, just exactly as they had
done every day at the same hour for
six days.
'.She is celestial" murmured LIE Bre-
ton huskily as he lifted his fallen
easel.
But he did not place crayon to paper
again that afternoon. He sat and
smoked short Amiens pipe and stared
at the spray of spring boughs on the
models bare shoulder, and the blood
( bounded through his veins joyously,
bubblingly, like the little mountain
brooks breaking through thin April ice.
LIE Breton had spring fever; also, in
a minor degree, LIE Breton was newly
in love again.
Pasquale crossed the room as soon
as the model had resumed the pose,
and he bent affectionately forward
over LIE Breton's chair and tapped on
the plump bowl of the Amiens pipe to
recall LIE Breton's soul from the as
phodel meadow of day dreams.
Mon ami, have discovered small
thing" he said In an undertone so that
Compton from Delaware would not
hear. Compton from Delaware was a
cynic, a person utterly beyond the
gates of spring enchantment. He had
the artistic temperament, but 1t show
ed itself In his work, not his hair nor
his loves nor his words. And therein
Compton from Delaware was absolute
~ an original and unique character
among the art students at Pasquale's.
Also he was absolutely despised as a
hopeless business proposition. But the
eyes of the girl with the spring boughs
passed over LIE Breton's blond ringlets
and velvet blouse and fingered on the
close cropped head of Little Compton
from Delaware.
1t was the way he had with women.

release. She did not love him If she

sive, enchanting, mysterious, to garb
herself from top to toe in syelte white
suede, to swathe her face in creamy
chiffon like an houri. to challenge ones

not all prove the woman behind the

dash. the mere touch, SO like the high
light of the diabolique In her bereaved

Scared Out Of Writing Badly.

A well known musician, who writes
very illegible hand, once sent an
unusually hopeless scrawl to a friend.

wrote in reply: II shall be most happy
to dine with you tomorrow at g. Kind
est regards to your wife," etc. In less
than half an hour his friend appeared
breathless at his door.
There's some misunderstanding,
he said anXiously. Il wrote you a
note asking you If you could play the
piano part of the trio at Browns re-
cital and here you've sent me an ac-
ceptance of dinner invitation. but
didn't invite you to dinner"
We'll" returned the other blandly,
II didn't suppose you'd really sent me
an invitation to dinner, but | couldn't
read word of your note, and in that
case hereafter | mean always to take
1t for granted that you're asking me to
dine"
For one of his correspondents at
least the offender now writes legibly.
