ON HIS FIRST SOCIAL CALL
Mr.. Makinbrakes Succeeds in Distin-
gushing Himself in His Justly
Celebrated Way.

Mr.. Makinbrakes was expressing
his qualification that a respectable
family had moved into the house next
to his.
you may not like it at first, Mr..
Newcome," he said, 'for our street
has kind o run down, and nobody
that amounts to a pinch of snuff ever
comes here to live any more-that is
1 mean, that's the way they talk about
our street, but it isn't exactly true,
for we have had sometimes just as
good citizens as you'll find anywhere;
the family that occupied that house
you've just moved into were excep-
tionally nice people, and we were
sorry to see them move away, because
you never can tell what kind of-er-
people will come next, you know

personally, or, rather 1 am-fOr one is

way, Mr. Newcome, do you think the
Cubs stand any chance of winning the
championship this year?"

REMARKABLE PIECE OF LUCK
Some Men Would Lose Reputation for
Veracity If They Told This as
Mark Twain Told 1t.

Mark Twain was an inveterate

speaking of his devotion to tobacco
Septimus tells the following in the
Rochester Post-Express: Mark Twain
used to say that one of the most re-
markabIe stories of luck ever told had
to do with smoking. 1t was in Ne
vada days. He had been out pros
pecting in a wild and uninhabited
country, a hundred miles from a vii
lage, when his matches were de-
stroyed by water. He had no flint or
tinderbox and no way of getting a
light. So he went about six hours
without a smoke. Then the smokers

thousands of dollars for a light, when
suddenly, l looked down on the

place where 1 would have sworn no
white man ever put his foot, was a
large fat match, perfectly dry. ]

DAISY FLY KILLER
NOTHING TO WORRY ABOUT
CompIacent Smoker Had No Use for
the Bands, So What Was the
Difference.

There were four of them on the
rear platform of a car, thrown to-
gether, so to speak, by rough track.
All were smoking. An odor, not Of
cigars. detracted somewhat from in
terest in the general conversation.
The odor became pronounced. One
of the quartette cast about for rea-
son. He saw one of his companions
complacently smoking a cigar that
had burned down past the laring red
band that girdled it. There remained
no question of the source of the odor.
Excuse me-" the discoverer said to
the complacent one. your cigar band
is burning"
That's all right, old man." the COM
placent one replied, I'm not saving

stalk of celery. Cover with any good
dressing, stirring it in lightly and

A DOCTORS EXPERIENCE
Medicine Not Needed in This Case

It is hard to convince some people
that coffee does them an injury! They
lay their bad feelings to almost every
cause but the true and unsupported
one.
But the doctor knows. His wide ex-
perience has proven to him that to
some systems, coffee is an insidious
poison that undermines the health.
Ask the doctor if coffee is the cause
of constipation, stomach and nervous
trouble.
81 have been a coffee drinker all
my life. I am now AZ years old and
when taken sick two years ago with
nervous prostration, the doctor said
that my nervous system was broken
down and that I would have to give
up coffee.

Aroused Sporting Instinct.

An Irish policeman who was also
something of a sportsman, had been
posted on a road near Dublin to catch
the scorching motorist. Presently one
came along at 20 miles an hour, and
the policeman saw it pass without a
sign. Next came large motor travel
ing at 40 miles an hour, and the eyes
of the guardian of the public bright
ened. And then one passed at the rate
of mile minute. "Begorrah." said

For Proper Care of tuberculosis.

According to the National Associa-
ton for the Study and Prevention of
tuberculosis, New York state leads
in the number of beds for cOnsump-
tives provided up to May l, with 5,476
beds; Massachusetts is second, with
2,4O3 beds; Pennsylvania third, with
2347 beds; Colorado fourth, with 1,489
beds, and New Mexico fifth, with
1,104 beds. AS yet, not one state in
the country has made adequate pro-
vision for it's consumptives. New
York has set itself the task of having
mo uncared-for tuberculosis in 1915"
and several cities in other parts of
the country have adopted similar pro-
grams. The national association
says that tuberculosis will not be
stamped out until all cases of this
disease are cared for either in their
homes or in institutions. With this
end in view, efforts will be made to
increase the number of hospital beds
in this country to at least $4,000 by
May 1, 1911.

Children.

Listen to this opinion from David
Starr Jordan:
There is nothing in all the world
so important as children, nothing so
interesting. If you ever wish to go in
for some philanthropy, if you ever
wish to be of any real use in the
world, dc something for children. If
you ever yearn to be truly wise, study
children. we can dress the sore,
bandage the wounded, imprison the
criminal, heal the sick and bury the
dead, but there is always a chance
that we can save child. If the great
army of philanthropists ever exter.
inmate sin and pestilence, ever work
out our races salvation, it will be be-
cause little child has led them. -
