A Purple Velvet Gown
(oopyright, l0II, by Aaaoelated LlteraFy Preas.l

Arthur looked In perplexity from
Angelica's dirt-streaked face and be-
draggled costume TO the trembling and
covering Thomas Jefferson White.
Thomas Jefferson's complexion, nor
mally rich seal brown, had for the
moment assumed the pleasing tint
peculiar to an ashen heap.
Get out OF here and finish that
work. and mind what you are about
Won't you please sit DOWN.
The first portion of the remark was
addressed to Thomas, who departed
with commendable promptness; the
latter, naturally in a more concila-
tory tone, to Angelica, who flung her
self into the indicated chair.
Arthur carefully surveyed Angelica
and his heart sank until he imagined
that he heard it thump against the
soles Of his patent feathers.
Angelica's purple velvet gown bore
numerous huge blotches of black; her
plume, recently nodding In It's i'm
maculate whlteness, dropped ashamed
beneath a burden Of sooty filth.
There was also dirt upon Angelicas s
face and fire in Angelica's eye.
Arthur realized that this was an
occasion calling for the exercise Of
the most delicate diplomacy His In
quiries, deftly put, at length elected
a fairly coherent recital of the events
Immediately preceding the stormy ad-
vent of Angelica into his sanctum

Arthur hastily interjected, discerning
a resumption of the storm.
Angelica's brow assumed a deep
frown and she cogitated for a mo-
ment.
Il paid $500 for my suit" she an
nounced uncompromisingly
Arthur ruminated Even to his ex-
perienced eye the gown seemed
ruined. Being unacquainted with mil
lipery fabrics, he was not so certain
with respect to the hat. Obviously,
it was Thomas Jefferson's fault. It
was also as obvious that as Thomas
Jefferson received but eight dollars
per week for his more or less valuable
services, upon which he was engaged
in the task Of supporting a heIpmeet
and rearing numerous and hungry
progeny, it was as possible to deduct
the amount from his wages as to ex-
tract blood from q turnfp.
Arthur, as the visible representative
of the firm, would have to do some
thing. The easiest way out Of tbe
matter would have been to write ont
a check for the amount without firth.

pened that three hundred dollars was
the exact sum Arthur required TO
complete the purchase price of a new
motor car upon which he had set his
heart, and he was not disposed to
give up the car without an effort
"I1l tell you what I'll do" he an
nounced hopefully. 'If you will send
me the hat and gown, will have

Angelica was not disposed to be un-
reasonable.

FREE SAMPLE CURED OLD
PERSONS BOWEL TROUBLE

One of the most remarkable proofs Of
the unusual laxative merit contained in
Dr. Caldwell's Syrup Pepsin is that it is
effective not only In people In the prime
of life, but at the extremes of ages. AS
many letters are received from mothers
regarding the cures of children, as from
men and women of sixty seventy and
eighty years of age. 1t must be truly a
wonderful laxative.
In the cure of constipation and bowel
trouble in old people it has no equal. 1t
corrects the constipation, dispels the head
ache, biliousness, gas, drowsiness after
eating, etc. People advancing in years
should see to 1t that their bowels move

Bible Bars schooners.

Father Rainel, chaplain of the navy
loves to tell and delights in listening
to stories about the sailor boys. Here
is one that was told the other night
at Perry's.
A gunner's mate from the Connecti.
cut went into a saloon and ordered a
schooner of beer.
I'D like to give It to you" said the
bartender, leaning over toward the
customer, "but the Bible says must
not"
What's that?" roared the gunner's
mate. What yer giving me?"
The bartender looked at him sorrow
fully. I'm afraid you never read a
Bible" he said.
Read a Bible? OF course I read a
Bible. What's the Bible got to do
with schooner Of beer?

Cream separators.

The convenience, saving in butter
fat, etc, will nearly, If not quite, pay
for a separator the first year. Cream
should be kept iced and in clean re-
ceptacles until taken by the collector
or you are ready to ripen it. Cream
handled in that way will make sweet
butter. There are many dairymen in
our state throwing away from $50 to
$1O0 worth Of butter rather than to
buy separator costing from $50 to
$10O.
