CALLER LEFT IN A HUFF.
Innocent Thought of Business Man
That Gave Serious Offense.

Two business men had been talking
good naturally the other day. Their
conversation had reviewed number Of
things, and remark made by the pro-
prietor as his caller was leaving

In a rather awkward way.
Business with me has been little
dull of late. I've had only few call
ers." he remarked.
The friend smilingly rejoined:
You'll have enough of them in a
short time-prosperity's coming right
along. Why" he added, emphatically,
the next time 1 drop around, instead
OF being able to chat with you for half
an hour, there'll be so many people
ahead of me that it'll take me two
hours to get to you-maybe I can't
see you at ALL"
Il hope So" rejoined the proprietor.
cheering up over the prospects of re-
newed business activity.
His caller literally "stormed" out of
the Office, leaving his erstwhile host
in state of bewilderment as to what
had happened.

INVALID'S SAD PLIGHT.
After lnflammatory rheumatism, Hair
Came Out, Skin Peeled, and Bed
Sores DeveIoped-Only Cutl-
cura Proved Successful.

'"About four years ago had a very
severe attack of inflammatory rheuma-
tism. My skin peeled, and the high
fever played havoc with my hair,
which came out in punches. I also
had three large bed sores on my back.
I did not gain very rapidly. and my
appetite was very poor. tried many
sure cures but they were of little
help, and until I tried Cuticura Re-
solvent had had no real relief. Then
my complexion cleared and soon I felt
better. The bed sores went very soon
after a few applications of Cuticura
Ointment, and when I used Cuti-
cura Soap and Ointment for my hair

pearance. Mrs. Lavina j. Henderson,

together with smart little ribbon bows

bought for a few cents, with holes
in the rims already made, by which
they may be hung up) and in which
can be placed flowers or a small fern.
Round and round the stick may be

as smilax or small ivy, making a very

at other seasons there are always

When one has a resting time forced
upon her, is the psychological moment
to get busy with the hair.
Every woman knows the benefits of
tonic treatments, but every woman
knows equally well what sight she is
during the process. Therefore, instead
of bemoaning when the baby gets the
measles or Ruth and Bob come down
with chicken pox, shutting you in the

strengthen your locks. You can even
resort to crude petroleum without af.

To Keen NenetahIes

Turnips, carrots, sweet potatoes and
horseradish keep fresh long time by
being buried in sand in the cellar.
Parsley and celery, If dug up by the
roots, with some Of the earth around
them. and placed in the cellar, will
also keep green for some time.

An Foo Hint.

To prevent hard-boiled eggs (for sal
ads, sandwiches, etc. from turning a
dark color, place them when taken out
OF the boiling water in a basin of cold
water for few minutes. This will not
only preserve their natural color, but
will render them much more easy to
shell.

the stsrt that has been made there
should be very little difficulty expert
enced in securing the assistance OF
capital in the undertaking. The in
yestment promises the greatest re-
turns. and the building OF the road
will establish a precedent In its way
in the reversal OF the usual process
Of making the road create its own
business The reason for this is 10
the fact that the country to be tap
ped by the road is remote from any
railroad point, and people have a
ditiicIlt time getting into and out o!
the country, in consequence OF which
attention is not paid to farming,
mining and other enterprises that
depend great deal on the proximity
of a section to the railrOad.
The new road can be constructed
at the minimum cost, as there is lit
tie rough work to do, practically no
grading and no bridging OF any con-
sequence. The route proposed is an
! ideal one and one that will eventually
carry a great number OF passengers
and much freight. Within year
after its construction the ore ton
