The scene is supposed to be laid in
a New York apartment house in the
room of a struggling music composer

old songs visit him and he holds con-

enters, the orchestra softly plays the
song and sings part if not all of the
words. After all the songs enter they
have a musical entertainment in which
many beautiful solos were rendered.
Before the songs left they told the
composer that they would send him
little gift which would make him
famous The songs then all Joined

much surprised to find that he had

Dear Aunt Laurie:
I would like to take the paper for
my prize this time, although 1 am a
great lover of books, having read a
great many volumes, besides all pa

wife has passed into the great be-
yond. Gods will be done.'"
Tom stood there dazed. Not word
or sound did he make. Mrs. Mcken-
zie was crying, while tears trickled
down the old doctors kindly face, but
Tom stood there, seemingly unaffected,
except for the look of pain upon his
face, which showed suffering of heart
and mind
They led him to her, and yet he said
never a word. After a few moments
he fell to the floor and with the word
"Mollie" upon his lips he died.

A Devoted Couple

Dear Aunt Laurie:
Tom Bledsoe was the village black
smith, His little cottage was a coy
nest, his wife was his pride and she
was proud of Tom.
Then one winters night Tom drove
for the doctor, as his wife had COM
planned of being sick.
He whipped his horse for the first
time that night. He drove him until
the foam covered his body.
When Tom and the doctor returned
they were met at the door by Mrs. NC
Kenzie, a neighbor who had stayed
with Toms wife until his return.
How is she?" asked Tom. "Sleep-
ing quietly said Mrs. Mckenzie.
The doctor felt of her pulse, shook
his head, then turned to Tom, saying:

INDIGESTION GOES
In FIVE MINUTES

heartburn, fulness, nausea, bad taste

this is indigestion.
A full case of Pape's Diapepsin

ach, and leave sufficient about the
house in case some one else in the
family may suffer from stomach
trouble or Indigestion
Ask your pharmacist to show you
the formula plainly printed on these
50-cent cases, then you will under
stand why dyspeptic trouble of all
kinds must go, and why they usually
relieve sour, out-of-order stomachs

pepsin is harmeless and tastes like
candy though each dose contains
power sufficient to digest and pre-
pare for assimilation into the blood

makes you go to the table with a

please you most is that you will feel
that your stomach and intestines

Supply and Demand.

From Life.
 People who have money are constant ly wishing for things that they would be better off with out.
 Those people who have no money or great deal less than they won't are trying to create something to ex- change for the money of the rich.
 When any one comes along, there- fore, and makes a plea for the sim- pie life he is not playing according to the rules of the game. He Is trying to interest people in his project, for the transient purpose of making something for himself, while at the same time fe is working against both parties con- cerned; against those who demand things and against those who want to supply it to them.
 What the majority of people need, therefore, is not simple but a com- plicated life. The more complicated 1t is for the rich the more variety they can add to their pleasures; and thus more opportunities are created for the poor to get some of their money away from them.
