FRECKLES.
February Worst Month for This
TroubIe-How to Remove Easily.

There's a reason why nearly
everybody freckles in February, but
happily there is also a cure for these
ugly blemishes, and no one need stay
freckled.
Simply get one ounce of othine,
double strength, from w. B. East
man and apply a little of it at night,
and in the morning you will see that
even the worst freckles have begun
to disappear, while the light ones
have vanished entirely. Now is the
time to rid yourself of freckles, for
If not removed now they will stay
all summer, and spoil an otherwise
beautiful complexion. Your money
back if othine fails.

How Cold Causes Kidney Disease

Partly by driving blood from the
surface and congesting the kidneys,
and partly by throwing too much
work upon them. Foley Kidney Pills
strengthen the kidneys, give tone to

are tonic in action, quick in results.

A FIGHT WITH BULLETS.

A FIGHT WITH BULLETS.

Swaying grace of the angel instead.
What is a man to do with an angel
who dismembers herself and scatters
over a whole swamp, thrusting a vivid
reminder upon him at every turn?
"You needn't be thinking" he said
to the goldfinch, that because I'm
coming down this line alone day after
day it's always to be so. Some of
these days you'll be swinging on this
wire, and you'll see me coming, and
you'll swing, skip and firt yourself
around and chip up right spunky.
See me?' Ill be saying See you? See
her" You'll look, and there she'll
stand. The sunshine won't look gold
any more. nor the roses pink, 0 the
sky blue, because she'll be the pinkest.
Dluest, goldest thing Of all. You'll be
yelling yourself hoarse With the jeal-
ousy of her. The saw bird will stretch
his neck out of joint, and she'll turn
the heads Of all the flowers. Wllerev-
er she goes I can go back afterward
and see the things she's seen. walk
the path she's walked. hear the grass
es whispering over all the things she's
said, and if there's a place too swampy
for her bits Of feet, maybe-maybe
she'd be putting the beautiful arms
of her about me neck and letting me

me breath and praying that she don't

When the week was up Freckles had
his room crisp and glowing with fresh
living things that rivaled every tint
of the rainbow. He carried bark and
filed up all the muckiest places Of the
trail.
1t was middle July. The heat of the
last few days had dried up the water
about and through the Limberlost, SO
that it was possible to cross it on foot
in almost any direction if n had any
idea Of direction and did not become
completely lost in it's rank tangle OF
vegetation and bushes.
The heat was doing one other thing
