I told my daughter and her husband
when they Were first married" said a
wise old lady who has always been
extremely popular at her daughters
home. that if they had any words at
any time. whether I thought he was
right or not, l should always side
with him.
And I've always done it and it's
worked like a charm"
Perhaps that's a suggestion on how
to be loved though a mother-i in law.
that both present incumbents of that
difficult position. and mothersinlaw-t to-
be may find worth thinking on.
There is one baby in our neighbour
hood. who. though he has a bad chron..

H gets lost often enough. goodness
knows. And before his mother adopt

speedy return he used to stay lost for
many hours, which his parents, of
course. spent in frantic searching.

Fletcher is a good advertisement for
his dietary system, for despite his six
ty years, he is agile as youth, has a
face unlined by care and an intellect
that enables him to put to rout all
those who have entered into contro-
versy with him as to the merits of his
system.
The first rule of F1etcherism is not
to eat until you are hungry. We all
eat too much and too often, according
ton, dyspepsia, constipation and the
myriad diseases that follow in their
trail
True hunger is indicated by water
ing of the mouth, not the watering
produced by the artificial excitement
of some pungent stimulant, but that
which is excited at the thought of the
simplest food, even at the thought of
dry bread. "All goneness' in the re-
gion of the stomach, faintness, or any
such discomfort, is not a sign of hun
ger but a symptom of indigestion or
disease. Skip as many meals as you
like and learn true hunger
Then when you are hungry comes
thn y.1,1a Tnly
like best and chew it for all it is worth.
If it is liquid get all the taste out
of it; if it is a solid hold it n the
mouth until you are forced TO swallow
it.
Third-The minute the saliva stops
flowing freely, stop. Rest your appe
tite before it gets tired.
Fourth-If you cannot be cheerful
do not eat You won't digest enough
to make it worth while. Don't eat when
you are sad or when you are mad,
but only when you are glad you are
alive And that is complete Fletcher
ism.
The results of following this ad
vice Mr.. Fletcher sums up as follows:
Half the former and usual cost
of nourishment.
2-An increase of so TO 200 per cent
of physical endurance.
3-Immunity from sickness Cat least
increased resistance).
4-Immunity from that tired feel
ing"
suppression of morbid animal de-
sire
7-Restitution of virility in those
who had become seemingly impotent.
S-Normal confidence in personal
resourcefulness and laudable ambi-
ton.
9-Progressive recuperation Of mus
cular and mental quality and tone in
those already past the presently ac-
cepted period of middle life who had
believed themselves on the decline;
renewal Of youth.
1O-Optimism. usefulness nd happi-
ness; instead of pessimism. useless
ness and misery.

By the Financier.

CINCINNATI, Aug. 1O.-J. Pierpont
Morgan's plan for the reorganization
of the Cincinnati, Hamilton & Dayton
Railway company and it's merger with
the Baltimore & Ohio may strike Il
snag" at the meeting of the stock
holders of the former road here this

According to Governor Harmon,
who is a receiver of the Cincinnati,
Hamilton & Dayton, the proposed plan
of reorganization cannot be carried
out without the consent of secured

stockholders. The latter, at their
meeting today, will probably ratify
rumored that some opposition may de-

foreclosure sale would be the only al
tentative.

MARK TWAIN'S CHILDREN.
4 Case Where Attempted Punishment
Proved Hopeless Failure.

Ordinary punishments answered very
well for Susy She was a thinker and
would reason out the purpose of them,
apply the lesson and achieve the re-
form required. But it was much less
easy to devise punishments that would
reform Clara. This was because she
was a philosopher who was always
turning her attention to finding some
thing good and satisfactory and enter
tanning in everything that came her
way. Consequently it was sometimes
pretty discouraging to the troubled
mother to find that after all her pains
and thought in inventing what she
meant to be a severe and reform COM
polling punishment the child had en-
trely missed the seventies through her
native disposition to get interest and
pleasure out Of them as novelties. The
mother, in her anxiety to find PEN
atty that would take sharp hold and
do its work effectively, at last resorted.
with sore heart and with a reproack-
full conscience, to that punishment
which the incorrigible criminal in the
penitentiary breads above all the other
punitive miseries which the warden in
fiicts upon him for his good-solitary
confinement in the dark chamber. The
grieved and worried mother shut Clara
up in a very small clothes closet and
went away and left her therefor fif-
teen minutes 1t was all that the moth
er heart could endure Then she came
softly back and ACKNOWLEDGMENT for
the sobs, but there weren't any; there
were muffied and inarticulate sounds.
but they could not be construed into
sobs. The mother waited half an hour
longer. By that time she was suffering
so intensely with sorrow and compass
sion for the little prisoner that she was
not able to wait any longer for the dis
tressed sounds which she had counted
upon to inform her when there had
been punishment enough and the re-
form accomplished. She opened the
closet to set the prisoner free and take
her back into her loving favor and for
giveness, but the result was not the
one expected. The captive had manu-
featured fairy cavern out of the
closet, and friendly fairies out Of the
clothes hanging from the hooks and
was having most sinful and unre-
pentant good time and requested per.
mission to spend the rest of the day
there!-From Mark Twain's Autobiog-
raphy In North American Review.
