up for You supply the harmless ingredients.

at bedtime.

as the digestive system will be much benefited
by this simple treatment. Indeed. the whole
body IL beauti6ed. and the reduction OF weight
occasions wrinkles. The skin and complexioo

TO BEAU1|FY SCHOOL YARDS
ARCHITECT ASHFORD MAKES
SOME ARTISTIC ALLUSIoNS.
Recommends That Hose Be Furnish
ed Janitors to Keep Lawns and
Parkings Attractive.

Attractive school yards are desired by
the new municipal architect, Snowden
Ashford To that end he has recommend
ed that the board of education furnish
hose to the janitors of the school build
ings SO that the lawns and parkings In
front of the school buildings can be kept
attractive. The suggestion will be for
warded to the board of education for &C
ton.
Il have the honor to report that the
terraces and parkings at the Business
High School, Armstrong Manual Training
School and the Bryant School have been
improved and sodded or seeded. says
Municipal Architect Ashford in his re-
port. Il have also planted a hedge at the
Bryant School to take the place of a
fence.
Il noticed in the last few days at
these buildings that the grass and
hedges were very much in need of wa-
ter. and the parkings were almost in as
bad condition as prior to the improve
ments. / would respectfully suggest
that the school board be requested to
furnish hose to the janitors. with In
structions to keep the grounds properly
watered.
Ash Vaults Unclean.
IT also noticed at the Ketcham and
other schools that the ash vaults had
not been cleaned out since school closed
last month. AT the ketcham school
some decayed matter had been deposit
ed in the ash vault and the odor permc-
ated the whole building.
IT am informed that the contractor
will not remove the ashes and other
refuse from these vaults unless 1t con-
stitutes a full load. I would respect
fully suggest that the school board
make provision for periodically clean
ing these ash vaults. regardless of the
amount of material hauled. or that the
contract be made on the basis OF j
cubic yard or portion thereof"

To Err Is Human,

about yourself" he said.
60 on said the young and ambi-
tious actress.
Il have in my time had rare oppor-
tunities to observe beautiful. graceful
and talented women, and violate no
confidence in saying that you are the
queen of them all. You unite in your
lovely person that peculiar magnet
ism which lays audiences at your feet.
Your genius, shining through all the
deficiencies of stagecraft, enables you
to triumph over every obstacle. So
supreme are you that you have the
right to rise above all conventionali-
ties, to marry, to love, to discard
whom you please, and no one will
dare TO criticise. Your work will live.
You are the very personification of the
highest art. United with this, your
perfection of beauty gives you the
Just title to lasting fame"
rs all that true?" she asked, softly.
Absolutely. Would you have me
say more? What more could say?"
She sighed.

mentioned my clothes and my fgure!"

Bonner's Famous Advertisement.

When the New York Ledger was
wavering on the brink of failure, Rob
ert Bonner, the proprietor, sent to the
New York Herald brief advertise
ment, to be set up in a single line. Sc
Greeleyesque was Mr. Bonner's hand
writing that the advertising manager
interpreted the directions as order
ing that the copy be run in full page
which instructions he obeyed, though
marveling greatly. The Herald came
out the next morning with one whole
page devoted to the crisp adjuration
to read the Ledgers new story. The
effect upon Mr.. Bonner was almost IA
tai, first from chagrin at the thought
of the possible bill, then from amaze
ment as subscriptions began to pour
in, and finally from satisfaction, as
they continued to food the office, un
til the fortune of the publication was
made. The novel, though accidental
device had struck the public's fancy
Mr.. Bonner was hailed as the pioneer
of a new and daring theory of exploit
alton, and the advertisement gained
tenfold currency by being commented
upon as a feature Of the news.-Col

POOR HENRY IN NO DANGER.
BashfuI Man UnduIy Alarmed over
Simple Request, But Then II
Was in Leap Year.

This is belated leap-year story
that happened to get overlooked in
the holiday rush of 1908. But better
late than never, as the Long Island
conductor said when his train came
in four hours behind time.
Her name was Gladys Genevieve
Jones, and the name of the other
party to the episode was William
Henry Harrison Hawkins. Gladys had
attained the mature age of 20 sum-
mers, while William Henry, etc, had
also reached the age of discretion,
with few years over for good meas
ure.
William Henry and Gladys had long
been friends, but to-day, for the first
time, she had taken advantage of her
leap-year privileges and invited him
out for a moonlight drive. Blushingly
he had accepted-for Mr. Hawkins
was one of these bashful SWANS who
never get over the habit of blushing
when in the presence of the opposite
sex.
Gladys Genevieve believed in doing
ShihSS iiSht" Que uTlNSu tllt coy
and difiident Hawkins to the nearest
village, four miles away, with all the
ct ceteras and trimmings, and now, at
last, they were on their homeward
journey. For a time they rode along
wrapped mostly in silence, and then
Gladys suddenly gave little SILVER,
moved closer to her companions side,
looked up inquiringly into his face,
and began:
Mr.. Hankins, don't you think it
would be a good plan n we were to
double up"
She was interrupted by wild cry
OF alarm from Mr.. Hawkins. The next
instant he had sprung from the sleigh
and fled swiftly into the starlit night.
Now, ! wonder what on earth
startled the poor fellow that way?'
ruminated Gladys Genevieve, as she
drove slowly homeward, alone. Il
was only going to ask him if he didn't
think it would be a good plan if we
were to double up the lap robe on ac-
count of the air being so chilly, when
he spran3 out and dashed away like
mailman. Must have somehow got
the idea in his head that | was about
to propose. Dear me! what poor,
half-witted. scary creatures the men
are, anyway."-Judge.
