fHk TRTff ALWAYS,

when you are in doubt tell
the truth" 1t was an expert
enced old diplomat who said this
60 beginner n the work. It
may pass in some things, but
not in business. Fraud and de-
cepiion are often profitable so
long as concealed; yet detection
is certain sooner or later; then
comes the smash-up and the
punishment. The best and safest
way is to tell the truth all the
time. Thus you make friends
that stick by you, and a reputa-
ton that is always worth TWEEN
ty shillings to the pound every
where your goods are offered for
sale. We are able modestly to
affirm, that it is on this basis
that the worldwide popularity of
WAMPOLE'S PREPARATION
rests. The people have discov-
cred that this medicine is exact
ly what it is said to be, and
that it does what we have al
ways declared it will do. It's ma
ture also has been frankly made
known. It is palatable as honey
and contains all the nutritive and
curative properties of Pure Cod
Liver Oil, extracted by US from
fresh cod livers, combined with
the Compound Syrup of Hypo-
phosphites and the Extracts of
Malt and Wild Cherry. A COM
bination of supreme excellence
and medicinal merit. Nothing
has been so successful in Ane-

after Blazer and Blazer after us. We
saw in the wet ground-it had been
raining-that we were circIing. Rich
ardson decided to maneuver, and he
turned out of the trail to give the idea
that he had broken for the river to
cross and get away. Instead of going
as far as the river, he turned US into
bit of timber, skirted by stake and
rider fence, hid us in a swale and lay
in wait for Blazer to come in front of
US. Then we were to shoot into him.
But Blazer was clever as he was brave
and he had videttes out. They found
US, and, instead of coming in front of
us along the road, they came through
the timber on our flank, and company
A had to get out of that in short order.
Major Richardson was afraid that
Blazer, whose men were armed with
long range rifles whereas we had but
pistols, would get protection from the
timber and kill the lot of us in that

to remain in the swale till A had form
ed again. Blazer saw us galloping out
of the draw and up towards the top of
the hill, and, thinking it was the entire
command in flight, he got into the road
and started down it at a fast trot, the
better to get at company A. That was
his fatal blunder. He did not know my
company was still in the brush, and,
just as he was abreast, we clapped
spurs into the TANKS of our horses and
went at him. A company, hearing this,
wheeled around and came back to
where we were. For a minute they
say, though its seemed to me an age,
we fought, horse to horse, with pistols
The slaughter was fearful We killed
or captured every man in the command,
including Blazer himself We had to
run him twelve miles to get him.
A MOSBY MANS REVENGE.
'tThe next day, in taking the prison
ers to the rear, we came across a still.
Almost every man helped himself free
ly and it was three cheers for Major
Richardson and the prisoners joined
in, and NOW three for Captain Blazer
and the Mosby men joined.
"There was tragedy upon TRACE
dy in that Blazer fight, as the Mosby
men classify that particular engage
ment. Puryear, the Mosby scout, who
had been taken prisoner that morning,
was with the Federals during the fight.
When the Blazer command broke and
ran, Puryear got hold of a revolver
and joined his fellow rangers in the
chase. He had but single thought in

THE SCHOOLGIRL UP TO DATE.

Make haste to school. my little child,
Or else You viii be late;
Your books are all aseptic now,
And here s your sterile slate.
Your pencil has been boiled an hour
It's germless, now, l hopes
And don t forget to wash your desk
With this carbolie soap.
And lest about the schoolroom floor
Some unseen microbes Turk,
Just sprinkle formaline around
Before you set to work.
You d better put, for safety's sake,
Bichloride in the ink;
And water that has not been boiled
You must not dare to drink.
OF course, when recess comes around,
Some food you IL want to MUNICH;
So in this disinfected box
Is predigested lunch.

OF the Costume.

ever turns out a street skirt without
finishing It with stitched narrow

the best tailors recently have been
fastening this belt to the skirt stitch.

fastens with a pointed end where the
skirt fastens. This attached belt OBJ
viates all need of separate belts, and
women who have adhered to the tai
lored belt with the tailored skirt have
presented a trimmer appearance
around the waist than those whose
betting has been any miscellaneous
thing that happens to be smart in
beltdom at the time.

siderate a good substitute for the mar

shaped belt 1t must match exactly.
The belt that is of color and out Of

About Sleeves.
The sleeves for shirtwaists are not
so full at the top as they were last
year. They are very much flatter
across the top of the arm, most Of the
fullness being kept, as in a mans
coat. at the side front and side back.
In fact. sleeves are decidedly smaller.
and in all of the palmer tailored shirt
waists only long ones are used. They
are generally finished with a small
cuff with round corners, worn either

IN Honor Of a Friend.
want to entertain for a friend be-
fore she goes home, but / hate the
thought Of party, as I know Of moth
ing to amuse the guests. Can you
suggest a menu for a dinner party and
something to do? REBECCA
There certainly must be something
wrong with your internal apparatus
when you say you dread the thought
of a party" Why, it is one of the
most glorious things in the world,
given reasonable health and even a
small bit of this worlds goods, to
share our home and hospitality with
our friends But, my dear, your heart
must be in it; you must want your
friends.
A dinner party needs no set form Of
entertainment An hour or more is
consumed at the table, then there may
be round at cards If all like to play.
The old lost art of conversation is be-
ing revived, and in this day and gener-
alton when nearly every one is rushed
to death people who are thoroughly
congenial enjoy talking
Dancing and costume parties are al
ways successful, and it seems to me
there are guessing contests for every
occasion.
A good dinner menu consists Of a
clear soup. preceded if you wish by a
canape, meat, two vegetables, salad
and dessert, followed by coffee and
cordials.
