AS the Boy Saw the Lesson.

Prof Charles Zeublin of the Univer-
sity of Chicago was discussing at a
dinner the greatest paintings of the
world.
"The legends that are beautiful and
immortal" he said, have in them
turths that we all, according to our
kind, take home. This is true in
likeness of immortal works of art
pictures, poems, songs. For different
people they have different messages,
For instance, in my native Pendleton
some of the mothers used to cut the
children's hair. They did ii with
shears and a bowl. The operation
was often painful, and the result was
never elegant.
"Jn Sunday school Pendleton
teacher once told her pupils the trag-
lie story of Samson and Deliah. Then
she turned to little boy:
what do you learn, joe she said,
from the Samson story?'

OVER THE FENCE
Neighbor Says Something.

The front yard fence is a famous
council place on pleasant days. Maybe
to chat with some one along the street,
or for friendly gossip with next door
neighbor. Sometimes it is only small
talk but other times neighbor has
something really good to offer.
An old resident of Baird, Texas, got
some mighty good advice this way
once.
He says

ONE THING THAT WAS CERTAIN
No Doubt In the Bageageman's Mind
as to Contents Of What Looked
Like Coffin.

In an emergency the manufactures
OF Limburger cheese was forced to
use strategy with shipment. Ordi-
narily his product went in special
cars, but In thts instance no car was
available and the order must be filled.
Two hundred pounds of the fragrant
comestible was put In rough, OBJ
long box, and taken to the railroad
baggageroom. Then the manufactur-
er bought ticket for himself and the
box, and entered the train. At the
first stop he went ahead to the bag
gage car to see that there was no
trouble. He stood by the box In a.
disconsolate attitude and shaded his
eyes with his hand. The baggageman
was sympathetic. "A relative?" he
asked. "Yes," answered the manu-
facturer, 1T is my brother" WELL"
said the railroad man, philosophically.

all right."-San Francisco Argonaut.

"At first an eruption of small pus-

so much so that l literally tore the
skin off in shreds in seeking relief.
The awful itching interfered with my

tors and used a number of different
ointments and lotions but received
practically no benefit. Finally set

AN INDIGESTION
REMEDY FREE

Many people who are otherwise
healthy suffer from indigestion, or
dyspepsia. When you consider that
the stomach and allied digestive or
gans are the most important organs
of the body, 1t would seem that a dis
order there is to be taken very seri-
ously.
Dyspeptics cannot eat the things
they like; food sours in the stomach,
then chronic constipation begins, or,
as is often the case, you have been
constipated all along, and the stools
are forced and irregular.
But there is no use letting indigestion
go until IL becomes chronic and under
mines your health. II is good advice TO
gist and get bottle of DR.. CaldwelPs
Syrup Pepsin, the wonderful cure for
stomach, liver and bowel troubles. That
is what G.. Fowler, of Carson City, Mich,
did and he is well to-day. Others who did
the same and are cured are Ida A. For
tune. OF Grand Junction, Tenn, Ii. +.
Thompson. of Shenandoah. Ia, who &C
tually considers that. IL saved his life.
You can obtain a 5O-cent or 81 bottle of
the druggist, and taken according TO d.
rections. IT will probably be all you need.
1t is LIQUID, acts gently, never gripes.
and besides the laxative effect, contains
exceptional tonic properties which tone
the stomach, and that is what is espe-
cially needed in Indigestion.
