For ten Years Aunt iinun3h Day.
widow and resident Of the villH@e OF
Clyde, had been Il sort uf terror t.
most of the residents. She lived alon,
and was well to do. and She just dotted
on lawsuits. At the end Of ten wears
Elder Thomas was about the only cit
iZcn of the town worth suing who had
not been sued. His time was close at
hand, however. He had two hives of
bees in his back yard, and they had
swarmed earlier than was looked for.
Not finding new hives ready. they had
chard and stung her and her COW and
pig before going farther. She decided
to start a suit for damages.
Elder Thomas had never had Il law
suit nor been summoned as IL juryman
or witness. He had dread Of the
law, and the knowledge that he was
going to be sued set him trembling. 1t
was no use for him to go over and see
Aunt Hannah. She never changed her
mind nor settled n case. He heard of
her decision one morning. and he spent
the forenoon worrying over it. He was
still worrying after dinner when he
set out with hoe on his shoulder to
work in cornfield half mile outside
the village. On the edge Of the field
was a creek. and on the banks of the
creek was an old shed In tumble
down condition. The elder had been
killing up corn for about a quarter of
an hour when a voice called to him
from the shed. He raised his head and
listened, and 1t called again. He drop.
ped his hoe and took few steps for
ward, and the voice cried out:
stop, Elder Thomas! Stop right
where you are!'

you are, and I'll tell you. came out
to pick some blackberries, and after
got here the At took me to go In swim
ming in the creek. l undressed In the
shed and padded round for half an
hour. and when came out Of the wa
ter l found that an internal hog had
chewed all my clothes to rags There
amt n piece left rs big as my hand.
I've been waiting here whole hour"
But what are you going to do:" ask
ed the elder as he scratched the back
Of his head.
Don't ask fool questions. I've got
to get home. haven't l? And l can't
get home without some clothes. I'd
need clothes even if l waited till mid
night"
II guess you would; but. you see, !
can't lend you any of mine. All I've
got on is shirt and trousers"

There are various feats that may be

Another feat is, keeping your feet to-

Another Is to keep the toes to line

There's a giant who sends mighty ships
Ger the sea
And the fast flying trains DER the land.
His power is great. for he's strong as
can be:
Engines move when he gives the COM
mand.
Yet he's never above doing kind little
things,
For when grandmother longs for her tea
This good giant will work while the tea
kettle sings.
And when up pops the lid-it Is he!
I'm made OF every color gay
OF black or brown or softest gray.
My doors are made OF hides and skins.
AS one room ends the next begins.
While all are numbered to the last.
No feet have DER the threshold passed.
I'm made of wood or rags or grass
And made Of clothing, too. alas
The castof garment of clown
Or. Of prince of great renown.
I'm loved by children and the old,
And to the blind my tale I've told.
A good companion for a day.
Yet not word I'm heard to say.
Youths Companion.

INSTANT RELIEF FROM DREAD
CATARRH

Why don't you get rid of that mas
ty. humiliating disease catarrh?
You can do it if you really want
to.
But you can't cure catarrh in a
few days. that's an utter impossibili-
ty, because there is no remedy known
that will kill the catarrh germs in
that short time.
But you can cure catarrh if you
will have a little patience and
breathe in Hyomei pronounced
High-o-me) three or four times "a
day.
Hyomei cures catarrh by killing
the germs and it kills the germs be
cause it gets where the germs are.
Hyomei is a powerful antiseptic
and germ killer air; it is made
from the fluid extracted from the
eucalyptus trees of inland Australia
where catarrh has never existed.
1t gives relief instantly, stops
hawking in few days and is guar
anteed to cure catarrh, asthma,
Group and bronchitis or money back.
A complete outfit, including inhel-
er costs 500, and extra bottles of
Hyomei if afterward needed, cost
but 80 cents. Sold by leading drug
gists everywhere.
"Hyomei certainly saved my life
and accord it the credit which 1t de-
serves and merits. There is nothing
too strong for me to say regarding
Hvomei. Mrs. Ada Hopkins,
