This is the true story Of how Pro-
tessOr Driesback got bis wife.
Professor Herman Driesback, bota.
mist, seeking specimens in Arizona,
rode up to a tavern, hitched his horse
10 a post, went into the house and
talled for something to eat. To say
that the professor was engrossed IN
his profession to the exclusion Of al
else is to convey but a faint idea o.
his enthrallment.
But the moment had come when ar
other kind Of fora crossed Professoi
Driesback's path to turn his mind ten
porarily in a new channel. While he
was sitting at table eating his dinner
and thinking on the latest varieties oi
plants he had picked up girl in G

THIN FOLKS MADE PLUMP
sauoss Ideal Flesh Builder ssys Drug
gist N. B. Danforth.


Thin people are simply suffering from
want OF nourishment,
If you are thin, it is because the
food you eat is not assimilated and
passes through the system without
building up the flesh and tissue as it
should.
You can readily get plump and rosy
by using Samose. a tissue forming food
which when taken with the meals. i'm
mediately becomes a flesh building and
life giving element in the blood.
Use Samose for a few days and in
crease of life. vigor and weight is felt
and you will notice yourself getting
plump and rosy.
Salnose builds up the system, puts
flesh on the bones, brings back the glow
of health to the pallid cheek and re-
moves the tired and languid feeling
which is the result of exhaustion and
low vitality.
n. 3. Danforth is introducing Sa-
nose to his customers and recommends
it highly. He gives the best proof OF
his belief that Samose will do all that
is claimed for it by offering to refund
the money If it fails to increase weight
and restore good health.

stance-and the United States is the
youngest.of nations. All these things con-
sidered, docs the fact that we have not
perceptibly gone down hill during the past
forty years. even though a million and a
quarter divorces have been granted in the
country prove that we should not have
been proportionately better off IL a mill
lion and a quarter family relations had
not been broken? is it not rather that we
have such vast stores of stability and
resource in our nation-aggregating like a
rolling snowball-that We grow to think
we can afford to waste our moralities as
we waste our national resources?
The marriage relation is more than a
single economic item in any nations life.
To say that so great and growing ten
dency to disorganize society. as it has al
ways existed. is OF trivial Significance is
mistaken morals and mathematics as
well.

Now, that the professor was a horse
thief was proved by his own state
ment. When asked the color of his
horse he frankly avowed that he was
black, while the hue Of the nag he
was driving was white.
1t didn't take the people thereabouts
long to collect a jury of twelve good
and true men to try the professor.
There were no lawyers in those parts,
but Professor Driesbach was assigned
counsel in the person of a cowpuncher
who had spent three months in a town
lawyers Office. professor was
permitted to make his statement. He
said he had driven up to the tavern,
hftched his horse, gone out, got into
his buggy and driven away. But since
meanwhile his horse had changed
from black to white his story did not
impress people who had heard much
more probable stories from horse steal
ers. His counsel was stumbling along
with a cock and a bull story $50 it was
considered) Of a real horse thief hav-
ing taken the prisoners good black
horse and substituted a poor white
one when Kate McClennon took a
hand in the proceedings.
"What do you roOsters mean any
way? know this here gentleman and
have known him since he was a kid.
Him and me used to play together in
his mothers yard back in Missouri"
Professor Driesbach opened his eyes.

The professor held his breath IN
amazement
"And how could any one handicap.

horse thief, and any one Of you who'd
had chicken pox and measles and
mumps and fits when you was n boy
would make a horse thief yourselves

throws himself on the mercy of thu

Before the plea was half finished the
minds OF the Jurymen were made up
and Professor Driesback was acquit
