EIoise was having thoughts. That
they were not pleasant thoughts was
proved by the hurry with which she
donned her tan ulster and close brown
walking hat and slipped out of the
house. She hurried down brilliantly
lighted Broadway, hoping that the new
experience of being alone, unchaperoD-
ed, unprotected, amid the rush of life
on all sides, might divert her mind.

a megaphone He was Shouting: '.All

1t seemed to offer surcease from the
insistent, uncomfortable thoughts at
the back of her brain. The old wagon
in its brave array held some of the al
lurements OF fairyland and its happy
responsibility, and on the spur of the
moment she whipped out her purse

A ssman.s Complexion

1t is rank foolishness to attempt
to remove sallowness or greEsiness
of the skin by the use of cosmetics,
or ''local'' treatment, as advocated
by the beauty doctors. The only
safe and sure way that woman can
improve her complexion is by purify
ing and enriching the blood, which
can only be accomplished by keeping
the liver healthy and active. The
liver is the seat of disease and blood
pollution. Green's August Flower
acts directly on the liver, cleanses
and enriches the blosd, purifies the
complexion It also cures consti-
patton, biliousness, nervousness, and
induces refreshing sleep. A single
bottle of August Flower has been
known to cure the most pronounced
and distressing case of dyspepsia
and digestion. New trial size bottle
20 cents; regular size IS cents. AT

Her Glance Backward.

In Broadway car long past mid
night a robust motherly woman sat
with well grown boy Of about fifteen
beside her. The boy had fallen asleep
and his head rested heavily against her
shoulder
A man entering the car was cordially
greeted by the woman and was about
to slap the boy on the knee when the
mother interposed.
Don't wake him." she pleaded
sHe's SO big now that he is ashamed
of doing childish things. This is the
first time in year that he has been
my baby boy again. Let me enjoy it. =

The Word "ExpIode."

Explosive" was first used in its
modern sense in the first quarter of
the nineteenth century. Explode in
the sense of elbow up or Ego off, is
scarcely a century older. Before that
people talked of ball being "explod-
ed. from gun, the clouds exploding
lightning or a volcano exploding
lava, but that was very much nearer
the words original sense of driving
away with scorn. Explode" in fact,
is literally to clap away and was a
technical word for driving an actor off
the stage by contemptuous handicap
ping. That Is the real meaning Of an
exploded idea"

George had dared to insinuate that
she could not get along without him.
He had acted as if he were as much
q part of her life as her daily ride in
the park, her nights at the opera, her
cotillon favors. Worse still, there had
been, too, the suggestion that he was
SO much a part of her existence that
she could not get along without him
Other girls were wooed and hard Won.
She was taken for granted. And she
wanted romance-"heart interest" she
had heard it called when the drama
was under consideration. ALI her life
had the conventional been wrapped
around her like a dun colored cloak.
She would have freedom from cOnyen-
tionality-and George.
A thrill Of anticipation ran through
her as the big, clumsy vehicle wheeled
cautiously and threaded it's way down
the crowded streets. Through the Ten
derloin, the Ghetto, the BOwery-all
those localities of which she had heard,
but never SCENT went. When it halt
ed at last she was in the front of the
party, still determinedly eager to gel
outside of herself. The conductor had
taken her under his wing, and she felt
very safe and sure.
They had climbed up and up and up
many winding, creaking, unsafe stairs
to the joss house, a heathenish, garish
place filed with a mixture of rare
carvings, embroideries, worries and ap-
parently worthless junk. The conduct
or of the party waited to give his ex-
PLANTATION until the loiterers had gone.
Ladies and gentlemen" he said.
"wait few minutes, and l will ex-
plain this interesting place. There are
some people present who did not come
with the party and who are waiting in
the hope that they will get the benefit
Of what l am about to tell you"
A little woman in a blue tailored suit
edged her way with asperity into the
crowd
do you mean meY' she demanded.
ST guess we have as good right to be
mere as any one. Anu we ii stay ucIc
till we are ready to CO."
The conductor turned to Eloise for
appreciation.
''The members of this party have
each paid So for this valuable informa-
ton, and it is not fair to them to allow
you to hear this for nothing. know
your kind You have been following us
around just to get this information
free. Not a night passes but | have
trouble of this kind, and it's got to
STOP"
The little woman fought off her
friends who strove to lead her away.
"And who are you that you should
talk to me that wayY' she cried. DO

er is down now looking for police

There was commOtion in the door

thrust their fists under the conductors

Invlaorate the plaestlon.

To invigorate the digestion and
stimulate the torpid liver and bowels
there is nothing so good as that old
family remedy, Brandreth Pills, which
has been in use for over a century.
They cleanse the blood and impart new
vigor to the body. One or two every
night for a week will usually be all
that is required. For Constipation or
Dyspepsia, n or two taken every
night will afford great relief.
Brandreth's Pills are the same fine
laxative tonic pill your grandparents
used and being purely vegetable are
adapted to every system.
Sold in every drug and medicine
store, either plain or s~ugar-coated.

EFFECTIVE REMEDY
SIMPLE FORMULA WILL BREAK

Prescribed by Well-Known Specialist
In the Cure Of consumptlon-can
Be Prepared by Anyone.

Here is a simple and effective rem
edy for coughs and colds: Mix a
half ounce of the Virgin Oil Of Pine
(Pure) with two ounces of ~glycerine
and a half pint of good whisky.
Shake well and take in teaspoon
doses every four hours.
This formula is said to be very eff
f%ective, being the prescription of an
eminent authority. 1t will break up
a cold in "a hours, and cure any
cough that is durable.
The ingredients for this prescrip-
ton can be found at any good drug
store, but care should be taken that
only the pure Virgin Oil of Pine
should be used. This is put up only
in half-ounce walls for dispensing, Sc
curely sealed in a round wooden case
with engraved wrapper, having the
name-Virgin OH of Pine (Pure), pre-
pared only by Leach Chemical Co.,
Cincinnati, O.-plainly printed there

The cheaper oils and those sold in
bulk only create nausea and have
no effect whatever upon the bronchial
tubes.

WHERE APPLES ARE GROWN.
NoFeh America the Great Producing
Region Of the World.

The area OF the world devoted to
apple raising in the northern hemi-
sphere extends from Scandinavia on
the north to the mountain regions Of
North Carolina and Tennessee on the
south. In the southern hemisphere
apples are raised in New Zealand and
Tasmania, but little success has been
obtained in Australia, Africa or South
America. North America is the great
apple-producing region of the world
and New York leads all the other
states in the quantity grown, although
there are many choice varieties pro-
duced in other states, particularly
Missouri, Oregon and Washington.
The soil and climate conditions must
combine to produce the finest fruit.
The annual aggregate product of the
world is estimated at 100000, 900 bar
rels, but not all of this is gathered, for
in seasons when the production is
plentiful large quantities are fed to
cattle or allowed to rot on the ground,
and every season millions of bushels
of the less choice varieties and the
poorer fruit from the best trees are
turned into cider, which is used as a
beverage and for making vinegar and
apple brandy.

Real Moroccana.

Moor and Morocco are words I'M
known to the people of that troubled
land. These people know themselves
as Arabs and descendants of those
valiant upholders of the prophets
green standard who swept like a flood
across North Africa at the time of
the hegira. The Morocco of the pres
ent day they found possessed by a
sturdy race who claimed descent from
the people who were cast out of Ca
naaan by Joshua, the son of Nun.
Their country, so far as it's plains
were concerned, was taken from them
by the Arabs, and their fighting
strength was made to serve the Arab
in the conquest of Spain. They
themselves gradually took to the
mountains, to the great Atlas. Here
they have remained ever since, speak
ing their own language, maintaining
their own customs and racial attri-
butes, and obstinately refusing to be
absorbed by the Arab jewellers on the
plains. These people are the Berbers;
their tongue is called Shilhah. Liter
ature they have none, in the ordinary
sense of the word. But they have a
rich store Of oral tradition, myth, le-
gend and folklore.

PETS FOR LITTLE PARIslANs.
All Kinds Of Animals as Playmates for
the Children.

Children play a great role in French
society, as all those who have read
Gyp's inimitable "P'tit Bob" will read
lily admit, and now the small Par
lsienne insists on receiving on her
fete day and at the New Year a live
pet, instead of a costly doll or a me-
chanical toy. The demand has been
creating a supply, and a lively trade
is being done, not only in puppies and
kittens, in tiny monkeys and in lambs,
but also in tigers and leopards. Up to
a certain age, these small felines are
quite harmless, and, of course, as soon
as they begin, so to speak, to show
their teeth and sharpen their claws,
they are sent off to one of The two
magnificent Zoos" with which the
Gay City is provided.

CHANCES In dismal swamp.

Investigations of the scientists at
Washington have recently developed
the fact that at present the area of
the Dismal swamp is slowly sinking,
and Lake Drummond, in it's center, is
growing larger. Similar changes have
occurred in the past, periods of eleva.
ton and subsistence gradually sue
ceeding one another. The average ele-
walton above sea level is so slight
that natural drainage is insufficient
to remove the rainfall.
