He returned to the Shepherd at the
hour appointed, but was astonished to
find that he had a boy and two more
dogs with him and had further armed

But why all this?" asked the Wolf
as he looked around.
Because you are an honest Wolf"

THE PEASANT AND THE FAIRY.
One day as the Peasant was work
ing in his field and whistling a merry
tune as he reflected how much better
off he was than if he owned the Penn
sylvania railroad and had to worry
every time forty or fifty trains were
late, a fairy appeared before him and
handed him a piece of gold. The
Peasant at first looked at 1t in surprise.
Then he began to smile and presently
a new light came into his eyes and
he said:
Il am thankful for this. of course.
but if I had another like 1t l could
buy that two-acre lot of old Bivins and
get rich raising cabbages."
The Fairy made no hesitation In
handing him a second piece of equal
value. and after climbing them to-
gether the Peasant worked up his
sufficiently to say:
Il need another donkey right bad.
and the roof of my cabin also leaks
and should be repaired
He was handed a third piece, and he
lesitated only few seconds before
IF get another donkey must also
get another cart, and if the roof of
NY cabin is repaired the old woman

The Fairy saw her way, and was
about to depart when the Peasant re-
marked:
"Of course. a new piano and a Bag

suite, and then there's new clothes, a
horse and buggy, an auto, perhaps, and |
lot of other chicken-f1xings that will |

UNCLE ELI FABLES.
The Way That Aesop Used to Hit
EN- on

THE PEASANT AND THE ROCK.
One day the Peasant had need OF
stones for building. and as none were
TO be found near his house he ascended
a high hill in rear of the place to look
about him. Presently his eye lighted
on large rock, and after survey OF
1t he said:
ALAS. but if I had that at my door
my wants would be supplied and l
should be happy. It's funny that just
what you happen to want in this old
world is also somewhere else. L must
even let my building idea vanish after
others because nature is against me.
With no effort on her part she could
have placed this rock at my doorstep. y
When the Peasant had departed the
Rock fell TO thinking the matter over
and unused:
"Hhere is a Peasant who works hard
for what he gets and seldom has any
him a little favor and will seek to
bring a festive occasion into his fam
lily. 1 will take a roll tonight, and to-
morrow morning he shall find me where
he wants me"
At midnight that night While the
Peasant was dreaming all good things
happened to somebody else, he was
awakened by an awful crash, and he
fell out of bed and ran out doors to find
that the Rock had rolled down hill and
smashed his shed and killed his donkey
and his fowls
Moral:-If just what you want is
somewhere else let it stay there.
THE TWO TRAVELLERS.
As a Traveller was making his way
across the country he met up with an
other wayfarer. and the two sat down
under tree to compare notes. When
they had spoken of the weather and the
state Of the roads the man with the
cock eye remarked:
II shall not need to rest again, as my
journey ends at Podunk. a matter OF

You mean nine miles," corrected the
man with the missing front tooth.

When men get as far as this the next

there are many other symptoms that
usually appear when the liver is dis

y The generally accepted theories are
to dope, and drug the liver for all
those symptoms as they arise, the re-
suits OF such drugging, are well known;
to the sufferer My theories are, to-
seek the cause and remove It, this is
the most reasonable thing to do, when
the cause is removed, the effect known
as disease must cease. You may say,
the liver is the cause Of it's own dis
eased condition and all those SYM
ptoms above named. do not agree
with you here, let me explain. The
cause Of all these symptoms and tho

ference with the nerve supply to the
liver. The nervous system is the life
force Of all organs. ~.
II the liver does not get its
proper supply Of nerve force, it can
not perform its functions properly,
which will result in g. diseased con.

body are depending upon the nerves
for the performance Of their functions.
it is plain to be seen, that the true
cause Of disease originates in the spinal
column, which is the central of nervous
system. The fact that I have cured
patients after they had tried almost
