An old Pennsylvania, German living
in the mountains had hard three
hours dusty walk to accomplish one
morning and he rose very early to
make his start He had gone but a
little way when he was overtaken by
an automobile, which was probably

man and they were at his destination
in about 20 minutes.

for a moment, or check their gait.
their burden would tumble to the
ground, or they would be crushed by
its weight.-Youths Companion.

decoration of braiding-no too much,

collar at the neck at a price OF ten

Is true, and the wise will substitute
for the provided lace collar one OF
Irish lace, which no doubt they pos

and will further embellish the long,
