The Ticket that Came Back.

a prominent railway man tells of a
railway ticket that took a sudden Jour
ney on its own account. 1t appears
that rs a northhound train on the Colo
RADIO and Southern road passed one of
the stations a passenger in forward
car raised a window, and In an in
slant his ticket was blown from his
hands. The passenger naturally gave
1t up for lost and was much surprised
when the bagsagemaster handed it to
him a little while later. 1t appears
that when the ticket flew through the
window southbound train was nass-
ing. The suction of that train. which
was moving at a rapid rate. drew the
ticket along with 1t, and as it passed
the rear end Of the northbound train If
blew into the door of the smoking car,
There 1t was found by the baggage.

Old FavOrites


The BaiIiT's Daughter Of IsIington
There was youth, and well believe
youth,
And he was an esquire's son;
He loved the baiiffs daughter dear
That lived in Islington.
She was coy, and she would not believe
That he did love her SO,
No, nor at any time she would
ANY countenance to him show.
But when his friends did understand
His fond and foolish mind,
They sent him up to fair London,
An apprentice for to bind,
And when he had been seven long years
And his love he had not seen,
MANY a tear have | shed for her sake
When she little thought of me-
All the maids Of Islington
Went forth to sport and play,
All but the bailiff's daughter
She secretly stole away.
She put off her gown of gray,
And put on her puggish attire.
She's up to fair London gone
Her true love to require.
AS she went along the road,
The weather being hot and dry,
There was she aware of her true love,
AT length came riding by.
She stepped to him, as red as any rose,
And took him by the bride ring
Il pray you, kind sir, give me one penny
To ease my weary limb
II prithee, sweet heart, canst thou tell me
Where that thou vast bornT
"At Islington, kind sir," said she,
"Where | have had many a scorn."
II prithee, sweet heart, canst thou tell me
Whether dost thou know
The bailiff's daughter of Islington?"
She's dead, sir, long ago.
"Then will sell my goodly steed,
My saddle and my bow,
will unto some far countree
Where no man doth me know"
20 stay, o stay. thou goodly youth,
She's alive, she is not dead;
Here she standeth by thy side,
And is ready to be thy bride"
40 farewell grief and welcome joy.
Ten thousand times and more,
For now | have seen my own true love
That l thought l should have seen no
more

KASPARILLA

THIS sterling household remedy is most
successfully prescribed for world or
troubles" For arrangements of the di-
gestive organs it is a natural corrective
operating directly upon the liver and ali
mentary canal, gently but persistently
stimulating healthful activity. Its
beneficial influence extends, however, to
every portion of the system, aiding in the
processes of digestion and assimilation of
food, promoting a wholesome, natural
appetite, correcting sour stomach, bad
breath, irregularities of the bowels, con-
stipation and the long list of troubles
directly traceable to those u1-wholesome
conditions. Kasparilla dispels drowsi-
ness, headache, backache and despond-
ency due to inactivity of the liver
kidneys and digestive tract. 1t is a
strengthening tonic of the highest value
If it fails to satisfy we authorize all
dealers to refund the purchase price.

The Hemisphera Seasons,

Since the earth is much farther from
the sun when it is summer in the
northern hemisphere and winter III the
southern than when the seasons are
reversed, it might be supposed that the
climate would be more extreme in the
southern half of the earth than it is in
the northern. The actual difference is
made slight by the fact that the pro-
