HIS MoDEsTY OF HIGH ORDER
Tinker, of Course, Loved His Neigh
Dor as Himself, but That Wasn't
Too Much.

Lord Tankerville, who is sending
his son to an American school, said
the other day in New York:
There are too many Englishmen-
and English boys as well-who de-
velop, in the presence Of lord,
painful and unnatural modesty. Their
modesty reminds me of village tink-
er.
This tinker had a rather crusty
disposition, and his pastor said to him
one day:
my man, you should love your
neighbor as yourself
Ives, SIR said the tinker.
But the pastor had in mind nasty
black eye that the tinker had given
the bricklayer next door. and SO he
went on:
"'Do you, though, do you, honestly.
love your neighbor as yourself?'
Ives, sir; oh. yes. SIR said the
tinker; and he added. but Pm a mod

The Very Best Make.

In the course OF an after-dinner
speech In praise OF woman, Samuel
Untermeyer, the New York lawyer.
said in Pittsburg:
"A commercial traveller remarked
the other day to a storekeeper:
Make yourself Christmas pres

strict and accurate account OF all you
receive and all you disburse. 1t will
show what you save and what you
squander, what you spend foolishly
and what you spend wisely, where
you should spread out and where you
should retrench. what you waste and
how you waste it
But said the storekeeper, I've
already got cash register which does
all that and more

in their incomes and to do it comfort
ably. Denmark is as obviously happy
as she is poor.
1.-THE Danes are wise enough not to
demand perfection; IL 1t comes they
can take instant pleasure therein.
When 1t does not come they still are
placid. Conformity to rule. even
though 1t be in SO small a matter as
fixed meal times, does entail some
coercion upon the natural man. So
punctuality is not a Danish virtue.
"In few Danish households are there
fixed and unalterable hours for meals.
Pay call when you will, and the GUS
tom of the country will uphold you,
but 1t will not insure you against find
ing your friends at table. The hotels
follow the very reverse of the Ameri-
can method, and while you can get
snacks all the time. you cannot be
certain that at any time you will find
a dinner ready cooked and waiting.
Even the national food lends itself
admirably both to simplicity and to
unpunctuallty. Its staple is bread and
butter-in well-to-do houses immense
thicknesses of excellent butter and
fairly thin slices of several varieties
of bread. The staple food of our work.
ing class is also bread and butter. but
their butter is bad and scraped and
their bread is uniformly innutritious."

Kings Commit Suicide.

London.-Some curious customs OF
a pastoral people of Uganda. known as
the Banyoro, were related at the Roy
al institution by the Rev. John Ros-
coe. He said that a kings person
was sacred and his food was restrict
ed to milk and beef from a sacred
herd of cows which were kept apart
from other COWS.
The king did not wash with water.
but was rubbed with butter. The Ban
yoro monarch never allowed himself
to grow old nor his faculties to be-
come impaired. He must die in full
vigor, with his mental and physical
faculties unimpaired. When the king
thought he was going to be seriously
i'll he arranged the state affairs, then
summoned his chief wife and ordered
her to bring him cup of poison.
For as long as possible the death
was kept secret. When the news
leaked out. the sons of the dead king
fought among themselves. brother kill

HEALTH FOR THE CHILD.

The careful mother, watching close
ly the physical peculiarities of her
children, soon learns that health is in
a great measure dependent upon nor
NAL, healthy, regular bowel action.
When the bowels are inactive. loss of
appetite, restlessness during sleep, ir-
reliability and dozen and one similar
evidences of physical disorder are soon
apparent.
Keep the bowels free and clear and
good health is assured. At the first
sign of constipation give the child a
teaspoonful of DR.. Caldwelrs Syrup
Pepsin at bedtime and repeat the
dose the following night. If necessary.
You will find the child will quickly re-
cover its accustomed good spirits, and
eat and sleep normally.
DR.. Caldwell's Syrup Pepsin is far
preferable to salts, cathartics and
purgative waters which are harsh in
their action. Syrup Pepsin acts on
the bowels easily and naturally, yet
positively, and causes no gripping or
discomfort. Its tonic properties build
up the stomach, liver and bowels, re-
storing their normal condition.
Druggists everywhere sell DR.. Cald-
wells Syrup Pepsin in soc and $1.0O
bottles. If you have never tried this
remedy. send for sample to DIR. w.
