Here was the beginning of the end. Her heart
suddenly misgave her.

stray curl
Don't tell him about me-" Polly whispered

The Chaperon stood for a full minute trying to

Mr. Pierce rushed down obscure pathway
that wound in and out of trees and underbrush I'M
til he came upon little clearing by the stream

the path he had caught tantahzing glimpse of a

lapsed khaki figure patiently holding out the
water a rather bent and knotty stick from which
dangled cord

The figure did move.

of tenderness that would have moved the sphinx
The cord wggled and gentle zephyr seemed to

"Oh-h:' she exclaimed. you'll spoil yourself
And you are such a picture in that blue shirt and

He eyed her severely.
There are pictures-and pictures" he remind

I'm roughing it," she replied complacently.
See how beautifully muddy am in spots?"
He noted the spots. a few stray specks, and

Modern Socrates.

In that genial form of gossiping
about current affairs that is something
dignif1ed with the name of philosophiz-
ing, Prof. Meade of the weather bu.
Teau is most charming. Usually when
he meets certain friend on the street
the conversation covers a wide scope
and is illuminated by droll humor
\ Eaat pervades the Meade school of
philosophy. $50 they did in Greece"
said Prof. Meade one day. $50 the
ancient philosophers of that highly ia
,yored land settled all questions to
their own satisfaction, at least in
their daily communion of minds. The
philosophy of the Greeks is the source
of western philosophy. suppose we
enjoy philosophy as well as the Greeks
did. From now l will call you Plato"
TO this the response was: Greater
art thou, professor. Thy name is So
crates, who boasts of having Plato and
Aristotle as his most famous dis
ciples." Therefore If any citizen hear
one man call Prof. Meade Socrates"
or even "Old Soc," it is fair guess
that the explanation of that modern
day Greek phenomenon in San Fran
cisco is explained fully herein.-+San
Francisco Call.

WAS A TASK FOR CENTURIES.
Beems There Are Altogether Too
Many Kinds of Wall Paper

II read somewhere the other day"
said Mr. Briggilsby, that there are
now produced 1922 different styles
Of wall paper and guess that must be
true.
I'VE are going to have few rooms
IN our apartment repapered, and there
have been submitted to us to choose
from great books of wall paper
samples representing altogether 200
styles. And these 200 styles, you UNI
derstand, represent simply the styles
Of one grade of paper produced by one
manufacturer, and there are many
grades of wall paper and many manu-
facturers, and guess If you were to
take all the grades and styles made
by each of the manufacturers and add
them all together you'd find that the
number of styles given as the grand
total, namely, 7,942,713, was not far
from correct.
"And can't tell you how glad / am
that We didn't have all those styles
10 choose from AS it was, with only
200 styles we had a great time.
First we couldn't tell at all, and
then we'd half settle on one paper
only to find something that we liked
better when we turned over the leaf,
and then we'd find something that was
about as good, and then we didn't
know what to do.
Then we finally selected one paper
and settled on that, and then we de-
sided on another, these two for ad-
Joining rooms; but when we came to
put them together. why, they wouldn't
do, and SO we had to start all over
again for one, and maybe before we
got through we discarded both and
had to start once more at the begin
ming.
"And I thought we'd never settle on
which we'd take. A job to decide?
Why, it took us just one week to
choose the papers for five rooms from
200 samples, and here's what I wanted
10 say:
Suppose they had sent us to choose
nom the full complete lines of all
samples, numbering 7,942,714. l shud-
der to think of it.
WED never been satisfied in the
world unless we'd looked them all
through, never, and if it took us one
week to look through and decide upon
200 samples, why, to look through
S,s42,714 samples would have taken
ps 39,71S weeks, or rising of 763 years!
my! My! What an escape that
was; and just as likely as not we
wouldn't have found in the whole
100000 samples anything that we'd
really like any better than what we've
got now."-N. Y. Sun.

New Wan Papers.

Striking colors do not seem to be
favorite in the new wall papers
shown. The soft pastel shades pre-
dominate and it is notable that very
little gold decoration is used.
There is an imitation Of hand-tooled
leather which is very good to look at
extremely modishs for certain rooms
and costs ever so much less than the
real leather. Japanese grasscloth, imi
tation burlap and the real burlap are
also an excellent choice for rooms moi
to be furnished in light delicate furni
ture.

The Pure Food Law.

Secretary Wilson says, zone of the
objects Of the law is to inform the
consumer of the presence of certain
harmful drugs in medicines" The
law requires that the amount Of
chloroform, opium, morphine, and
other habit forming drugs be stated
on the label of each bottle. The
manufacturers of Chamberlain s
Cough Remedy have always claimed
that their remedy did not contain
any of these drugs. and the truth of
this claim is now fully proven. as no
mention Of them is made on the label.
This remedy is not only one of the
safest, but one of the best in use for
coughs and colds. Its value has
been proved beyond question during
the many years it has been in general
use. For sale by Evans Drug Co.
