GIVING HIM A CHANCE.
Surely Time for Hubby to Do Live
ly Sidestep.

Mrs. Wilson's husband was often
obliged to go to New York on busi-
ness, and frequently did not reach his
home until the arrival Of the midnight
train. Mrs. Wilson had been in the
habit of sleeping peacefully at these
times without fear, but number Of
burglaries in the neighborhood during
one Of her husbands trips to New
York had disturbed her calm.
On the night of his return Mr.. Will
son was stealing carefully up the
front stairs, as was his wont on such
occasions, so that his wife would not
be wakened, when he heard her voice,
high and strained:
Il don't know whether you are my
husband or a burglar" came the ex-
cited tones. but am going to be on
the safe side and shoot, so If you are
Henry you'd better get out Of the
way."-Youth's Companion.

SEEK TO WIN SOLDIERS,

when the university opened last

Of the means is to talk freedom di-

the next century or SO. Perhaps it is
just as well. No young widow, I've
heard say, can wear mourning with

But in the seventeenth century
widows not only wore mourning. but
their bed curtains We're black, and the
sheets and pillow cases had black
edging, like stationery. Even their
lingerie had mourning band
"ln Italy the mobiles of the Renais-
sance carried their mourning as far
as their knives and forks, which had
ebony instead of ivory handles.
Gray cloth superseded black for
mourning in the eighteenth century.
The fashion lasted about twenty
years. Then it died out, as it had

Country Fair the Place to See It at

II you would see a horse strap

hobbled and checked and goggled. and
hitched up sidewise, lengthwise and
crosswise until there is more har-
ness than horse. You wonder how
his driver ever got him into this rig

again without cutting him free with
jackknife. A farmer with a

A PUZZLE FROM LIFE.

Men-Which? Do You know7

There was a lady who from her
youth up had many suitors: but as
the years wore on they gradually fell
from their allegiance, until one day
she awoke to the fact that of all the
many but two remained. This le.l to
some earnest communion with her
soul and caused her for the first time.
seriously to consider the question OF
marriage.
Il am no longer as young as was" :"
she remarked to herself. "and al
though my friends are kind enough
to call me charming. their very in
sistence upon it leads me to believe
that l should decide at once which
of my two remaining suitors l had
better accept"
Then she cogitated long and spent
sleepless nights over the problem, but
found it ever more difficult to solve.
Billy" she argued, ''is strong and
masterful. He will guard me from all
rude contact with the world. He will
view me as rare and fragile hot

from every rude blast, every varying

not shine too strogly upon me nor
the wind blow too keenly. He appeals

RHEUMATISM RECIPE
PREPARE SIMPLE HOMEMADE
MIXTURE YOURSELF.
Buy the Ingredients from Any DRUG.
0ist In Your Town and Shake
Them In = Bottle to
Mix This.

A well-known authority on Rheu.
matism gives the readers of a large
New York daily paper the following
valuable. yet simple and harmless
prescription. which any one can easily
prepare at home:
Fluid Extract Dandelion, one-half
ounce; compound Kargon. one ounce;
Compound Syrup sarsaparilla, three
ounces.
Mix by shaking we'll in a bottle, and
take a teaspoonful after each meal
and at bedtime.
He states that the Ingredients can
be obtained from any good prescrip-
ton pharmacy at small cost. and, be-
ing vegetable extraction. are harm
less to take.
This pleasant mixture, II taken reg
ularly for few days, is said to over
come almost any case of Rheumatism.
The pain and swelling, If any, dimin-
ishes with each dose. until permanent
results dre obtained, and without in
juring the stomach. While there are
many so-called Rheumatism remedies,
patent medicines. etc., some of which
do give relief, few really give perma-
nent results. and the above will. no
doubt, be greatly appreciated by many
sufferers here at this time.
Inquiry at the drug stores OF even
the small towns elicits the information
that these drugs are harmless and can
be bought separately, or the druggists
will mix the prescription If asked to.

Starch were used. In order to get the
desired stiffness, it is usually neces-

beauty and fineness Of the fabric is
hidden behind paste of varying
thickness, which not only destroys the
appearance, but also affects the wear
