BREAKS UP. A COLD
IN SEVERAL HOURS

There is not one grain of quinine
in Pape's Cold Compound, which,
when taken every two hours, until
three consecutive doses are taken,
will surely end the grippe and break
up he most severe cold, either In the
head, chest, back, stomach or limbs.
1t promptly relieves the most mis-
cradle neuralgia pains, headache,
dullness, head and nose stuffed up,
feverishness, sneezing, sore throat,
running of the nose, catarrhal ahec-
lions, soreness, stiffness and rheu-
matte twinges.
Pape's Cold Compound is the re-
suit of there years research at a cost
of more than fifty thousand dollars,
and contains no quinine, which we
have conclusively demonstrated Is
not effective in the treatment of colds
or grippe.
Take this harmless Compound a.
directed, with the knowledge that
there is no other medicine made any.
where else in the world which will
cure your cold or end the grippe mis-
cry as promptly and without any 9th
er assistance or bad after effects as

pound, which any druggist in the
world can supply.

Poe's Short Stories.

There are in the best of Poe's brief
tales a constructive skill, command
Of design and gift Of decoration rare
in any literature and almost unknown
in English, which is ever unduly negli-
gent Of form. And no one need Won
der that Poe's short stories wandered
swiftly out Of our languages into
French and Italian and Spanish, into
German and Scandinavian and Bohe-
milan, into strange tongues where no
other American author, except Feni-
more Cooper, had ever before pene-
trated. His weird psychologist studies
have Influenced later writer's as unlike
as Maupassant and Richepin, Fitz-
james, O'Brien, Robert Louis Steven
son and Rudyard Kipling. His tales Of
mystery solved at last by observa-
ton and deduction have been initiated
by Dumas and Sardou, by Gaboriau
and Boisgobey. by Wilkie Collins and
Conan Doyle. And Sherlock Holmes.

years Of the nineteenth century, Is the
reincarnation of a figure first projected

Old Daddy lonQleqs.

Everybody is we'll acquainted with
the insect called daddy longlegs." but
not everybody knows that there Is EVIL
dence to show that this strange little
creature, towering high upon Its thread
like stills, is probably more ancient
inhabitant Of America than any repre-
sentative Of the human species. Far
back in tertiary time, at the very dawn
Of the modern world, its ancestors
lived, we are told, in great numbers in
that part of the continent which we
call Colorado. The fossil remains Of
these insects show the characteristic
features that mark them today. al.
though new species have taken the
place Of the old, for even daddy long
legs knows what evolution is and has
attained to something that in bis view
is perhaps kind of civilized existence
suitable to the exigencies Of life in the
twentieth century.-Harper's Weekly.

MAGNITUDE Of Stars.

The brighter star is ,he smaller
the number representing its magni-
tude. and consequently star Of the
first magnitude is brighter than one Of
the second. and one Of the second
magnitude is two magnitudes brighter
than one of the fourth. In the same
way stars brighter than the first mag
nitude can be represented by numbers
smaller than one, by decimals. or even
by negative numbers. Sirius is OF the
IA magnitude. Vega Of o. magnitude.
Our sun is a star of the 26.5 magni-
tude, and it gives us lO.OOOMO.OoO
times as much light as Sirius. If the
sun were twice as far away from US
as it is it would give only one-quarter
as much light. II it were 100000
times farther off than it is its light
would be the same intensity as that
of Sirius. But even ut this enormous
distance the sun would be only about
one-sixth as far away rs Sirius ex-
actly lies. In other words. Sirius
shines with luster fully thirty times
that of our sun.--New York World.

manner the fact comes to close. The

moon was visible in upper Egypt the

with whom the boys often went hunt
ing. On one Of these trips Dan and the
young man with him We're between
two hills when rabbit jumped up in
front Of them and ran up the hill to
Dams right. The other fellow, being
on Dams left, did not wish to take the
chance Of shooting at the rabbit for
fear Of al accident, so he said: There
he goes, Dan! Shoot him, shoot him."
But Dan simply stood still and watch
ed the rabbit disappear over the hill,
and his partner wanted to know why
he didn't shoot. After a moments 81

nose: Did you take me for a fool?
Do you think I was going to strain my
gun shooting uphill:"-Judge.
