Save that ii filled another's need.
He had his Pilgrims Scrip of Hope,
And Living Waters in his cup,

The stumbling soul to lift it up.

Of earthly things he had no care;
But Oh the road that's Paradise

History of Creased Trousers.

Did you ever hear the history of the
crease now uniformly worn in trousers
and occasionally extending to the
sleeves of coats? No? Well it's
funny one. In former years creased
trousers We're the signs of a hand-me-
down suit says a fashionable tailor.
"One day, while on his way in a car
riage TO the Goodwood races in Eng
land, King Edward happened to spill
a glass of red wine on his light fawn-
colored broadcloth trousers. and, I'M
willing to return to the palace, he
stopped at ready-made clothing
store and bought a pair. In his haste
he could not wait to have the creases
ironed out. As q consequence, he was
seen at the races with creased trous-
ers. The fashion was set and it has
stayed ever since. Yes, we're all

nately. he is a careful dresser, or the
consequences might be serious. -

Laughing Song.

When the green woods laugh with the
voice of joy.
And the dimpling stream runs laugh
ing by:
When the air does laugh with the mer-
ry wit.
And the green hill laughs with the
noise of it;
When the meadows laugh with lively
green,
And the grasshopper laughs in the
merry scene:
When Mary and Susan and Emily
With their sweet round mouths sing
''Ha ha he"
When the painted birds laugh in the
shade,
Where our table with cherries and nuts
is spread;
Come live, and be merry, and join with
me,
To sing the sweet chorus of "Ha ha
he!'

INDIGESTION.

Our esteemed contemporary, Health
of London, England, says:
Worry and hurry al meals are two
powerful agents in causing Indigestion.
The one binders the flow of the gastric
juices so essential to assinilating food,
the other prevents the proper mastica-
ton of the meal"
Better than pepsia or any artificial
digestive" said an old physician, are
leisure and laughter when meals are
eaten
How well our forefathers knew this
is shown by their custom of having jes-
ters and buffoons TO set the table in
a roar, for fun and merriment will help
to digest the heaviest meal. They new
er grudged time at their repasts, but
gave themselves up to the full enjoy
ment of the board. Hence we never
hear OF dyspepsia in their days.

In Hungary the women sit up
straight, erect; they do not lean

to like nothing but easy Longing
chairs, and they slouch down in them
with their legs crossed in such a man

the spine is very bad for the nerves.

A high sharp cry from wandering

And a locusts whir in the bush near

Never a wave TO mar
The CLASSY calm of the water below
Nor cloud TO whiten the blue of

Gently a black -hulled yawl
Drifts to the neighboring harbor;

With the sunsets autumn flare of

TWO butterflies sway, and fail
Among asters and goldenrod, drenched

And trumpeting forth september's

A lambent veil of red is hurled
And dropped from the sky to the eb-

And the blaek-hulled yawl with her

One Adam Worth, native of New York and a notorious criminal along the lines of picking pockets, forging and bank swindling. not to speak of bur- glaries, conceived the idea of stealing the portrait and holding it for ransom. He managed to get into the room where the big picture was hung. slash ed the canvas from its frame, rolled it up and carried 1t away.
 For twenty-five years the detectives of Europe and America searched in vain for the portrait. Worth was liv- ing under m assumed name as fash ionable London gentleman. In the course of his career he had met Pat Sheedy. The gambler was widely known as ''square'' in his profession and in all his dealings with men. good and bad. Worth had confidence in him. Sheedy learned that Worth had stolen the Gainsborough.
 William A. Pinkerton was a friend of Sheedy. The gambler arranged with the detective to restore the DOT. trait on the payment of the ransom money demanded by the thief, $25,oO0. The transaction took place in Chicago, whence the picture was shipped to the Agnews. Then J. Pierpont Morgan bought it. paying $15o00O, and the Gainsborough Is now in London, along with many other high priced works Of art, which Morgan declines to bring over because of the high duty.

 Sheedy has had a good deal of expe- rience in connection with noted paint ings, and few years ago he did something which linked his name per manently with that of Thomas Gains borough, the English oil painter of a hundred years ago. He caused to be restored to its rightful owners the cele- brated portrait of the Duchess of Dev- onshire by Gainsborough. which for a quarter of a century had been securely hidden by the man who stole 1t.
 The Gainsborough portrait has had 8 history more curious and interesting than that of any painting known to the world. In the first place 1t was inter- esting as to it's subject. The beautiful duchess who was painted by Gains borough died In 1906, just a" hundred years ago. She was famous as "the kissing duchess" Her husband was q politician, and when he ran for office the duchess used to go to the polls and buy votes for him. She paid one kiss for one vote. The voters said 1t was well worth the price, and many of them sighed because they had but one vote to give for their country.
