Humorous department.
He Had His Moneys Worth.

There was 4 coach that used to run
between Nola Chucky and Paint Rock,
Il matter of some forty miles. For
lunch the coach stopped at a halfway
house in Tin Can. and here good
5O-cent meal was put Out-cake and
pie. coffee and tea and all the cold
meats YOU could mention.
But the landlord of the halfway house
had a mean little secret dicker with the
driver. whereby as soon as the travel
ers had paid for their lunch and got
fairly settled to it a call would come
for an immediate start. So off they'd
all go. grumbling. They'd have paid
for 80 cents worth of food and only
eaten. YOU see. about cents worth.
But along came one day traveller
with a sharp. bright eye. The land
lord found this chap. some ten min
utes after the coach had started on
again. still tucking in pie and ham at
Il terrible rate.
Why. man." he said. you've let the
coach go without you"
Il know it," said the traveller calmly.
II was too blessed hungry to stop eat
ing"
Suddenly the landlords face paled.
Good gracious" he said, "all my
silver's gone"
1t was. too. Not a knife, fork or
spoon was left except the sharp eyed
mans.
He said as he kept on eating that he
had noticed a suspicious looking char
acter among the passengers-a man
with a red beard, a hump and a limp
oh. very suspicious.
The landlord sent a hOStler off to
overtake the coach and bring it back.
In about forty minutes the coach re-
turned. Then the sharp eyed man
came forth. wiping his mouth. But he
made no effort to identify the suspi-
cious- looking passenger. Instead, he
got aboard the coach, took his seat and
said coolly:
Thanks. landlord, for the good food.
You'll find the spoons and things in the
coffee pot. Now, driver. off we go
ag'in." Star.

terials. In some sections especially
through the great fruit belts of Cali
fornia, splendid success in dust sup
preston has been attained by spray
ing the dirt roads with oils possessing
aSphaltic bases. In other portions Of
the country the wise administering
Of coal tar preparations has aided to
great extent, and drenching with
calcium chloride has shown that the
dust can be kept at a minimum.
Those methods however, are not per-
feet solutions of the vast problem of
road maintenance and dust suppress
sion. They are merely palliatives,
and while they are being advocated in
such sections of the country as will
be Immediately benefited, the bigger
problem Of discovering an absolute
antidote for the action of the auto
mobile is occupying the attention of
scientists on both sides of the Atlantic.
The solution of that problem may be
given at the big congress at Paris in
the fall, or it may be discovered be-
fore; possibly ON this side of the wes-
tern ocean; possibly in the lands
where good roads were known when
America was in it's swaddling clothes.

HIS SHARE OF THE LOAD.
A Story of Archduke Albrecht and a
Peasant Girl

The Archduke Albrecht Of Austria
was fond of hunting and spent a
month or two every summer in the
Tyrol and upper Austria in pursuit OF
the chamois. On these occasions he
wore a hunters uniform, which was
chrOnically in a shabby condition
One day he wandered away from his
party and, finding that night was
coming on, began hastily to descend
the mountain toward Ischl. Soon he
overlook a girl of nineteen or twenty
who was carrying an enormous load
of firewood, on the top of which was
perched a chubby child about two
years old.
The archduke hailed her, and the
girl greeted him with anything but
friendly look.
What do you want?" asked she
Can you tell me the shortest roao
down to Ischl?"
II am going there. You can follow
me-" she retorted curtly
The archduke went on beside her
but it made him uneasy to see hel
bearing so great a load.
This is far too heavy for you, my
girl" said she. Give me that child
l will carry him."
Much you know about carrying
children. old fool" she exclaimed
NO. You take the firewood and l vii
keep the youngster. You may wei
do that, for if you hadn't met me
you'd run a good chance of spending
the night on the mountain"
The archduke undid the scarf and
transferred the fagOts TO his owl
shoulders, so that, with his gun anC
game bag. he was pretty heavily Ia
den. Then the girl fell to chatting
him about his ridiculous appearance
and as he trudged on for about al
hour he began to be a little tired o
his bargain.
Suddenly at a cross path he came
upon his suit, and their greeting a
once betrayed his identity to the girl
She fell on her knees before him ant
tears sprang to her eyes when she saw
two of his hunters removing the IA
gots from his bruised shoulders.
Don't cry; there's a good girl
pleaded the archduke, distressed
Then he pressed a purse into th'
babys hands. Here is something tt
buy your mother a donkey" he said
with a kindly smile. She might no
always find an old fool to help he
carry her firewoOd!'

MOST POPULAR OF PICTURES.-The
best known picture in the world, it has
been said, is Vandyke's portrait of
James II. of England as an infant, pop
ularly known as Baby Stuart. Two
million copies Of it are said to be in
American homes, and it is equally
popular in England and continental
Europe. This is not because it is a
portrait of a child who became king,
but because it is a mastery piece of
infant portraiture. The plump, round
cheeks and tiny nose, surmOunted by
a tight fitting cap. appeal to every low

the world is familiar is the central one

HIDDEN DANGERS.
Nature Gives Timely Warnings
That No Leon Citizen Can
Afford to lahore.

DANGER SIGNAL NO. 1 comes from
the kidney secretions. They will warn
you when the kidneys are sick. Well
kidneys excrete clear, amber fluid.
Sick kidneys send out thin, pale and
foamy, or thick, red, ill-smelling urine,
full of sediment and irregular of pas
sage.
DANGER SIGNAL NO. . comes from
the back. Back pains, dull and heavy,
or sharp and acute, tell you of sick kid
neys and warn you of the coming of
dropsy, diabetes and Bright's disease.
Doan's Kidney Pills cure sick kidneys
and cure them permanently.
Mrs. Elsie Armstrong, living on Madi-
son ST., Mt. Ayr, Iowa, says: "This
spring | used three boxes of Doan's
Kidney Pills, and they cured me Of a
almost painful case Of lumbago, caused
from disordered kidneys. These organs
were very active and the secretions
caused me great annoyance. In the
morning would be lame and stiff and it
was hard for me to do my work. Hav-
ing read in the papers about Doan's
Kidney Pills, procured box. This
remedy did wonders for me and soon l
was on the road to recovery. l took
about two boxes when / was cured and
have not been bothered since. l re-
commend Doan's Kidney Pills highly"

hA-
Misses Lillian Bigley and Fay Bene-
feel we're high school visitors last Thurs
day.
The two ball games played with the
Garden Grove school last week resulted
in favor OF Leon. The score of the first
game was % to II, and the second was
10 to O.
Mrs. Boyd with two friends, Mes
danes Keiser and Hines visited the

Miss Lila Mckinley started to school
again Monday morning after an absence
of four weeks on account of diphtheria.
We are glad Miss Mckinley is able to
attend school again.
Misses Clara Caster and Hazel San
dusky visited the high school Friday
morning. Before our usual line of
work that morning we listened to a
solo by Cecil Grimes, after which Mr..
Veolker reviewed with us the political
! situation as it is after the election.
Poor recitations mean low marks and
low marks mean wasted time and lack
of application. The teachers think that
number Of our pupils would do better
work if they spent less time on the
streets and more time at their books.

tightening the Clothing.

The burden of clothing has evidently
grown too great for the modern
woman for she seems to be trying this
year to divest herself Of as many gar
ments as possible. Her gown Is com-
comfy all In one piece, while the under
garments have been reduced TO two
combination garments. There are also
various other economics. as Miss Eliz-
abeth A. c. White told the Dress1nak-
ers' Protective Association a few, days
ago at the Masonic Temple, New York
City.
What kind of blouse did you wear
with it," some one asked after Miss
White had exhibited her travelling
skirt
"None at ALL" answered the oracle of
fashion. II did like the French women
wore little white sleeveless slip
waist, with a lace jabot, and kept my
coat on. I wasn't going to pay $50 for
a blouse.
"You don't wear any blouse under
the new Directoire coats,' continued
Miss White. you keep it on, when you
make calls or go to afternoon teas, and
under it you wear one Of these little
slip waists, with a. handsome collar and
JoUOI. VI, IL yOu LING, yOu Coll VI ape d
piece of this wide figured ribbon across
the front and fasten it with handsome
buttons.
'"At other times the French woman
doesn't wear any coat at ALL. She has
the new coat gown, made of any heavy
material and worn with furs.
This is proper for any occasion
calling for a street costume" said Miss
White, Church, calling and teas
Along with this lessening of the
number of garments worn: goes les
sening of the quantity of material.
Skirts are both scantier and shorter
than ever before.
Even hong skirts are not very long,
said Miss: White, land Paquin is show
| ing short tailor mades this season for
the first time. How short should they
| be? That depends on the style Of the
gown and the style Of the woman. A
young girl Of medium size who wants
to show her pretty boots may wear a
skirt three inches off the ground, and
if she is small she may have 1t shorter
| Even six inches isn't too much for a
| trotteur costume to be worn in bad
weather. A large woman who is not
young, and wants her dress for the
promenade should have it from one
| and a half to two inches off the
eround'
