SOME VERY QUEER MANNERS
Aged EngIishman Says Boys Are Not
What They Used to Below
Moors Greet Strangers.

Mourning the loss of old time man
ners, an aged Englishman said the 9TH
er day: Boys are not like they used
to be. If they do not like a school
master they show 1t nowadays by
treating him with studiously cold po-
likeness Why. l remember when l
was at Elton lot of us getting hold
of a master who taught us mathemat-
les and whom we all cordially detest-
ed. and holding him by his heels over
Barnes pool bridge until we saw In
the distance another master coming
in our direction, when We gladly
loosed our victim and let him slide
headforemost into the water"
A New York man writes: 81 was
taught to offer my seat to ladies when
travelling. foolishly did so a few
days ago In the subway. All ! got In
return from the lady was a CLASSY
stare. devilish grin and oh. sit down,
my boy don't want your seat. And
! am just thirty"
In the Society islands two persons
on meeting salute by rubbing the ends
of their noses together. and the salu-
tation is followed by each taking the
hand of the other and rubbing 1t upon
his own nose and mouth
Moors of Morocco ride at full speed
toward stranger as if they intended
to run him down. and as soon as they
have approached near they suddenly
stop and fire a pistol over his head.

(''Chicago smoke" is the newest tint fol
ladies' dresses.)
"Whehas in silks my Julia goes
Sang Herrick, then how sweetly flows
The liquefaction of her Clothes"
20, gentle reader don't suppose
But what today each rhymester knows
He couldn't make flows rhyme with
clothes.'D
All, Herrick, 'twould have made you
choke
Had Julia's gown or dress or cloak
Have 1een made of Chicago smoke.
But now fist not hard to believe
weave.
The wonder is-it is so thick
Some intellect alive and quick
Has not yet made It into brick.
Appropriately, though, the stuffs,
Made of this smoke which each one
snuffs,
Will lend themselves quite well to puffs.
"Chicago smoke" will cause remarks
About the lure it has for sparks.
And other such hilarious larks.
But this may be the next in line,
The dame in dress of much design
May have to pay heavy fine.
Because tits seen at half a glance
She will thus have ready chance
To break the towns smoke ordinance.

Col Macbeth was stumbling up the
castle stairs, leaving a muddy trail to
indicate the extent of his sojourn in
the moat as he wendell his homeward
way from the ward meeting.
Lady Macbeth shifted her best sleep

HEART NEEDS ESPECIAL CARE
Strain on the Vital Organ Must Be
Avoided When Middle Life Has
Been Passed.

"The death by heart failure of Gen.
Frederick D. Grant," says the Medical
Record, emphasizes the repeated
warnings of the medical profession
that we should treat senile heart
with respect. AS far as we know
there is not the slightest disagreement
on this one point-every human heart
over fifty, and perhaps over forty-five,
cannot stand much internal pressure
without being ruined or at least DAM
aged. A very slight man may go
through severe muscular exertion with
but little damage, but heavy man,
like the general, places on the heart
and arteries hydrostatic pressure be-
yond the safety point, and it never re-
covers.
1.-THE pitiful feature of this deplor-
able death is the fact that Gen.
Grant in his last annual report had
called attention to the opinion Of life
insurance examiners that army Off
GERS were becoming poor risks on ac-
count of the increasing strain on their
profession. 1t is safe to predict more
deaths like Gen. Grants, unless we
treat the heart of man over forty
five with more gentleness.

wire firmly attached to strong posts,
set 40 feet part at the ends of the
pen, and chain connecting the bulls
nose to the wire. Here he travelled
day after day, the fence too high for
him to see other cattle, but with
plenty of room for exercise. The
good nature of the animal told of the
success of humane treatment. It is
not only cruelty to keep bull close
ly chained day after day and year aft
er year, but more than that, it will
ruin the disposition of an otherwise
kind animal. The law of environment
holds here. and the bull suffering for
exercise cannot be as good a breeder
as his neighbor made comfortable in
every way. Try it.

TIE SAFE LAXATIVE
FOR ELDERLY PEOPLE

Most elderly people are more or
less troubled with a chronic, per-
sistent constipation, due largely to
lack of sufficient exercise. They ex-
perience difficulty in digesting even
light food, with consequent belching
of stomach gases, drowsiness after
eating, headache and feeling Of lassi-
tude and general discomfort.
Doctors advise against cathartics and
violent purgatives of every kind, rec
ommending a mild, gentle laxative
tonic, like DR.. Caldwell's Syrup Pepsin,
20 effect relief without disturbing the
entire system.
DR.. Caldwell's Syrup Pepsin is the
perfect laxative, easy in action, GER
tain in effect and, withal, pleasant to
the taste. 1t possesses tonic proper
ties that strengthen the stomach, liver
and bowels and is remedy that has
been for years the great standby in
thousands of families, and should be
in every family medicine chest. 1t is
equally as valuable for children as for
older people.
Druggists everywhere sell DR.. Cald-
wells Syrup Pepsin in SOC and $1.00
bottles. If you have never tried it
send your name and address to DR.. w.
B. Caldwell, 201 Washington ST., Mon
ticello, ILL.,, and he will be very glad to
send a sample bottle for trial,
