rows with him, but Mrs. Bithers,
widow though she was, had an ideal.
She liked Mr. Primmel, but she
yearned to see him show more spirit.
He had proposed to her several times,
but always in such a meek and gentle
way that she felt like patting him on
the head and giving him a dog bis
cult. The late and for a while
lament Mr.. Bithers had been
vii ing subject for henpecking. A
woman vii henpeck her husband If
he allows it-poor thing!
There isn't much to this story, ex-
cept that Mrs. Bithers and Mr. Prim-
mel taught classes in the Sunday
school. Two guesses as to what
kind Of classes they taught! Surely.
Mrs Bithers taught a class of boys
end Mr.. Primmel one of girls. Now.
the superintendent Of that Sunday
school was one Lemuel Tanmore, a
widower, who wore heavy watch
chain, and was just coming out of the
chrysalis stage Of first mourning into
the butterfly existence Of the relict
who is willing to be interested
These three, having the social siSe
of the Sunday school in hand, met as
a committee to arrange for the Easter
egg presentation to the pupils. The
Sunday school rewarded each nice
little girl and boy with beautifully
colored Easter egg annually There
being one hundred and ten children,
the work Of colorfng the eggs usually
was divided among several people
But brother Primmel had a Napo-
ieonic thought. Mrs Bithers' inter
est in the Sunday school work was
one avenue by which he was ap-
preaching her heart. Now, if by one
grand stroke he could simply astound
her by his devotion to that work. he
would go some distance ahead of the
crafty Tanmore in her regard So he
deity ended the discussion of WAYS
and means by saying:
Let us not worry longer over the
eggs. If you will send them to me,
will color them all myself | have
nothing to do Saturday afternoon, and
will put in the idle hours with profit.
| am sure, if give them to this ex-
cellent task of preparing the gifts
for the children
THAT is simply lovely Of you Mr.
Primmel" said Mrs. Bithers
Then came the MachiavelIian
stroke Of Tanmore
"All right" he offered III fur
nisls the eggs!"
How sweet and noble OF you,
brother Tanmore."
Lemuel Tanmore did what any man
would have done. He wanted to dis
credit his rival. So he procured eggs
of doubtful vintage And the only
doubt was as to whether they ware
five or ten years old ModestIy. he
insisted that no one should know who
had given the eggs
Brother Primmel is doing the
work-he is bearing the heat and bur
den OF the day" he said LET TIE
children know that their pleasure
comes through him"
Brother Tanmore knew mighty
well what would be said about

One Of the most remarkable proofs of
the unusual laxative merit contained in
DR.. CaldwelPs Syrup Pepsin is that it is
effective not only in people in the prime
of life, but at the extremes Of ages. Az
many letters are received from mothers
regarding the cures OF children, as from
men and women of sixty, seventy and

wonderful laxative.
In the cure of constipation and bowel

From Dry Territory.
(Bent County Democrat. J

"a bunch of young men, mid
die aged men and other men, dis
cussing the damage done by the
long dry spell, concluded to break
that spell Saturday night. In
stead of using the moisture that
grows the big cantaloupe, and
makes the high alfalfa, they in
dulged in a brand that .arouses
the fighting spirit, and causes
men to have an inflated opinion
of their ownabilities. They were
cautioned by officers to keep
quiet, but after opening the irri-
CATION gates to the allowed ca
pacity and permitting the fluid
in the canals to drip down their
throats, they conjured up a griey-
ance and started out to inform
the officers where they got off.
The stunt was not successful
from the standpoint of the dry
spell l-breakers. In front of the
city hall Marshall Prowers Hud-
nall, Night Marshall Ramirez
and deputy sheriff. Billie Smith
were met. The miX-up was short
and sweet. The bunch of white
man hopes" went down to sud-
den defeat. Monday they con-
tributed an aggregate of nearly
1900 to the city treasury through
the medium of Judge Britton's
court, and have faithfully sworn
to contine their efforts to more
peaceful pursuits, and any time
in the future the danger of a
protracted dry spell looms up be-
fore them, to allow nature to
take her course"
