man who was going along in the dusk
stopped to look through a telescope trained
on Mars. AS he mounted the little ladder
another man, with a woman, came UP to
take peeps.
When the gazer had kept his place at
the lens until he had seen twice his dimes
worth. he began to make suggestions.
Say, can't you screw this concern up
higher, and turn her a little to the left?"
The telescope man replied that the instru-
ment had been adjusted to a nicely and
that no alteration would improve the view.

some parting remarks:
It's all rot about those canals. Mars is
nothing but a round spot of fire the size Of

would all boil away in steam. I'm not like

No he isn't. l don't know his name but
he's an old Washingtonian. I've been seeing
him around for years. l don't wonder you

RHEUMATISM RECIPE
PREPARE SIMPLE HOMEMADE
MIXTURE YOURSELF.
Buy tho ingredients from Any DRUG.
oist In Your Town and Shake
Them In 3 Bottle to
nix 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 well in a bottle, and
take 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, If 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 are 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.

THE KISS IN JAPAN.
Ono Western Idea That Is Popular
with Eastern Maidens.

She was a Japanese college student,
little and thin, but very graceful in
her Paris gown.
"The KISS" she said, blushing faint
ly, twas unknown in Japan so years
ago. Now, among the aristocracy, it
is becoming quite renowned.
"Yet it comes as a great shock at
first. It is so different, you know,
from anything in a Japanese girls ex-
perience. I have known maidens who
tainted at a first kiss that was per-
haps too warmly rendered. Yet these
very maids became afterward ardent
advocates Of the new western en-
brace.
Frankly, like the kiss myself. It's
stimulus, and the feeling, as of red
satin, when mouth touches mouth
with a warm, soft shock-yes, frank
ly, I like the kiss, and I find it ex-
tremely difficult to deny an eager
young man so innocent and so delight
