HIS MIND UP IN THE CLOUDS
Professor Imagined Appeal Was From Fido, and the Situation Became
 Embarrassing.

great lover of animals. Professor Dryasdust was much given to having his pet dog sitting beside him at meal times eating tidbits from his own lit tle plate.
 The other evening he was at din ner party. and his partner was a very great lady, who was proud of her title.
 But the professor paid absolutely no attention to her His mind had switched off on to some abstruse point and he was lost to the world over the problem.
 The duchess did not approve of Is, and presently to attract his attention, she pulled him gently by the sleeve.
 Then the professor woke up. Grab ping half-picked chicken bone iron his plate. he thrust it under her startled nose.
 Don't bother just now, Fido!" he said curtly. Here, take this and go and eat it on the mat, like a good 6Cggie,"

 Recently, however. MT. & took ad- vantage of half-holiday accruing to him, and made an extra call on the Wednesday AS he was ushered in Miss Mary Goodley dexterously threw the cloth over Pollys cage.

Some Fish Reports.

One thousand sword fish were caught in ten days in August by Nova Scotia fishermen. one ship bringing in five tons. As a consequence the mar ket was glutted. and some sales were made as low as two cents a pound. Fishing is increasing in Nova Scotia waters to the extent that recently a million dollar corporation. known as the North Atlantic Fisheries, Limited, was organized. Holland is an exten- sive exporter of fish, especially to Bel gium. The latter's total imports of fish and mussels for the first six months of 1912 aggregated Sl,22S,7 TAO, an increase of $S6,349 over the same period last year Imports of fish by weight in the first half of this year to- taled G.5fS.500 kilos tkilo 2.2 poundsl, Dutch herring figuring at 2,536,l2S kilos. Mussels from Holland are also much in demand ia Belgium, the i'm ports for the month of June allAe be- Ing 1,7S9,017 kilos.

In the early days of Wisconsin. two of the most prominent lawyers of the state were George B. Smith and I. s. Sloan, the latter of whom had a habit of injecting into his remarks to the court the expression. Your honor, have an idea" A certain case had been dragging along through hot summer day when Sloan sprang to his feet, with his remark, Your honor, have an idea"
 Smith immediately bounded up, as- sumed an impressive attitude, and in great solemnity said:

VICTORY FOR ITALIAN PORTlA
Woman Lawyer In Rome sienalizee Debut by Obtaining Concession
 for Her Client.

After determined fight, Signorina Teresa Labriola, professor of philos- ophy in the Roman university in Rome and a distinguished leader of the feminist movement in Italy, has succeeded in asserting the right of women lawyers to plead before the courts. Her debut has just taken place before the Military Tribunal. where she defended a private accused of having slapped his sergeant in the face
 The court was crowded, chiefly with officers and lawyers, who eyed the slim and attractive looking young Portia with curiosity. Signorina Le- briola wore an elegant black silk cos tune, trimmed with old lace, and a large picture hat. She was entirely self-possessed. Indeed, the president, Colonel Delflno, and his fellow judges, appeared far more perturbed than she
 The charge was a very serious one, and the prosecutor general asked for an exemplary sentence-four years imprisonment But after an impas- stoned address by Signorina Labriola, who was often interrupted by ap- applause the accused man got off with only four months. Signorina Labriola received the congratulations of the court and of all the lawyers present.

DIR. CALDWElI'S GUIDE
 TO GOOD HEALTH

Tile natural tendency of people in this busy age to demand of the di- gestive organs more than nature in- tended they should perform, frequent ly results in throwing the entire di- gesttve system into disorder. When the stomach fails to freely digest and distribute that which is eaten. the bowels become clogged with a mass of waste and refuse which ferments and generates poisonous gases that are gradually forced into the blood. causing distress and often serious ill- ness.
 Dr. W. B. Caldwell says that if the bowels are kept regular there will be much less sickness, anG preseribes a combination of simple laxative herbs with pepsin that is most effective in relieving any congestion of matter in the bowels. This compound can be bought In any drug store under tho name of Dr. Caldwell's Syrup Pepsin. and costs only 50 cents bottle. It Is mild In it's action. pleasant to the taste and positive in effect, a dose at night bringing relief next morning. naturally and without griping broth CT discomfort. A bottle of Dr. Cald- wells Syrup Pepsin in the house will save many times its cost in doctor bills. Your name and address on a postal to Dr. w. B. Caldwell, 203 West St, Monticello, III, will bring a free trial bottle by return mail Adv.

na On the other hand, the revised pe.ru.na is a better remedy for some conditions than ka-tar-no. They are hoth intended as catarrh remedies They have both done great work in relieving catarrh. chronic and acute. Many hundreds of cases of chronic catarrh have recovered while taking Ka.tar-no and the same is true of the revised Pe-ru-na during the last six years since its revision.
 There is difference, however. in the two remedies. Whenever catarrh is associated with constipation then the revised Pe-ru-na is the best. In deed, this is exactly why the revision was made, to meet such cases. But where no laxative is needed, where the bowels are regular or inclined to be loose, then the old Pe-ru-na (Ka-tar- no) is the better remedy.

 SPECIAL NOTICE:-Many persons inquire for The Old-time Peruna. They want the peruna that their Fathers and Mothers used to take. The old Peruna is now called Ka- tarno.

Diplomacy In Small Thinas.

Little Eloise Cave, aged seven years, was visiting her grandmother in Madison. Va, and was sent to carry a saucer of ice cream to a neighbor By the exercise of infinite care she conveyed her burden safely to the house and gave 1t into the hands Of the lady for whom it was intended The lady, however. was less careful than Eloise had been, and dropped the saucer and broke it.
 You needn't mind about that said the little diplomat, without an instant's hesitation. Il don't think grandma has cup to match the saul eer. If she has I will go right home and break it myself. Mag azine
