Some people imagine that because
they drop a nickel into the collect
ion box at church on Sunday meeting
it gives them a licence to be ornary
all week and still hang onto their
passport to heaven Lots of folks be-
lieye that is necessary tn have a cinch
on happy home in the New Jerusa-
lem is to go to church two or three
times "a month and look sanctimon-
ious- Some fellows hesitate whether
or not they had better give up a
nickel or dime when the box comes
round. They finally decide in favor
of the nickel, on the theory that it
will at least admit them within the
pearly gates, and after they once get
inside they are so ALFRED smooth
they can square things for the best
seat in the choir. 1t beats the world
the number of people trying to buy
their way into heaven. They look
upon a good seat there in the same
light they do a box at the theater

Must Pay The Fiddler

They are holding high carousal
down at Charles grog baZar, and the
boys are burning money where the

their joyous laughter, you may hear
them shout and sing, and they're fin
ding life a SOlace as the noisy hours
take wing. But the morning

When the mouth is like hens nest
agonies remorSeful and the wallings

the fiddler when the dance is at an
end. There are fellows all around us
who are cutting quite swath, think
that unless they're stylish, ther're
buying motor wagons, and they re
jaunting off to Rome with a lot of
borrowed money and a mortgage on
the home. And some day beaStly
panic on the land will spread a pail
and a lot of stylish eleckS will be
backed against the wall: then you'll
hear lot of pleading: pleading all in
vain, my friend: for man must pay
the fiddler when the dance is at an
end. Little Cora Jane DeJiggers
has her feeling badly mitfed, for her
mother often tells her that the gait
is much too swift. With her swagger
girl companions through the streets
she loves TO roam, and she sees the

The worst habit that boys can fall
into is that of loafing around on the
streets at night 1t is then they cast
their lot in slippery places when at
any moment they are likely to fall
from grace. All good and noble les
sons are couteracted and nulliffed.
They learn nothing that is good and
everything that is bad. The boys
who spend their evenings in the
sacred precincts of the home with
good books for their companions are
the future hope of the republic; they
win fill our legislature and con-
greSSSonal hall and sit in judment up
on men and measures, while the boys
who run the streets will fill our
peniteniarieS, aims houses, and
lunatic asylums- Parents who are
responsible for these broken laws of
decendy will have broken hearts and
bowed down heads in the awakening
years that will inevitably follow.

CHAPTER XVIII.


The bitterness toward the dead
president of the Traders bank seemed
to grow with time. Never popular. his
memory was execrated by people who
had lost nothing. but who were filled
with disgust by constantly hearing
new stories of the mans grasping
avarice.
But, like everything else those days,
the bank failure was almost forgotten
by Gertrude and myself. We did not
mention Jack Bailey; l had found
nothing to change my impression of
his guilt, and Gertrude knew how
felt. AS for the murder of the bank
presidents son, l was of two minds.
One day thought Gertrude knew or at
least suspected that Jack had done 1t;
the next l feared that 1t had been Ger

TINY BABY's PITIFUL CASE

Our baby when two months old
was suffering with terrible eczema
from head to foot, all over her body.
The baby looked just like a skinned
rabbit. We were unable to put clothes
on her. At first It seemed to be few
mattered pimples. They would break
the skin and peel of leaving the un-
derneath skin red as though 1t were
scalds. Then few more pimples
would appear and spread all over the
body. leaving the baby all raw without
skin from head to foot. On top of her
head there appeared heavy scab q
quarter OF an inch thick. 1t was aw-
full to see SO small a baby look as she
did. Imagine! The doctor was afraid
to put his hands to the child. We
tried several doctors remedies but all
failed.
Then we decided to try Cuticura.
By using the Cuticura Ointment We
softened the scab and 1t came of. Un-
der this. where the real matter was,

and applying the Cuticura Ointment.
a new skin soon appeared. We also
gave baby four drops of the Cuticura
Resolvent three times daily. After
three days you could see the baby
gaining little skin which would peel
OF and heal underneath. Now the
baby is four months old. She is r. nne

is well. We only used one cake OF Cuti-
cura Soap. two boxes of Cuticura Oint-
ment and one bottle Of Cuticura Re-

NOT. THE TIME FOR THAT
seotsmen Objected to Mixture Of Good
Whisky and Religious Con-
versatlon.

Owen Seaman. editor Of Punch, was
the principal guest at dinner Of the
London Authors club recently. which
was followed by discussion on
"Humor." Mr.. Seaman began with q
story deprecating the spelling Of a
good dinner by any discussion at all.
There were three characters in the
story-a bluebottle and two Scots
men. The story at once struck note
Of probability by showing the Scots
men drinking whisky. The bluebottle
buzzed on the pane; otherwise 81
lence reigned.
This was broken by one of the
Scotsmen trying to locate the blue
bottle with geological exactitude. Said
the Scotsman:
Sandy. I'm thinking If yon fly is a
birdie or a beastie"
The other replied: Man, don't spoil
good whisky with religious CONVERSE
tion."
