Stomach Ache.

Speaking of old-fashioned rene

'1hot water and peppermint was not
the only concoction they used for
old-fashioned stomach ache. They
had something for that distress that
was awfully simple and simply
awful"

daughter.

SHE BENT THE BUILDING.

Mr.. and Mrs. Aschenbrenner were
touring Europe and had just arrived
at Pisa. Mrs. Aschenbrenner was all
excited upon reaching the leaning
tower of Pisa, and eagerly battered
up the spiral stairway, leaving her
husband languidly awaiting her re-
turn.
AS she weighed a shade over the
200 mark, her husband always dug
up an excuse when it came to ac-
companying her on any attitudes
above easy falling distance.
He was just bordering on the
beautiful flow of the unintelligible
language used by their guide when
from the topmost rampant came the
''Hi-lee, Hi-lo" trill of his wife, who
was leaning far out and waving a
scarf.
Mr.. Aschenbrenner obligingly
looked up and then came to life with
an anguished roar:
Gretchen, for your life get back.
You're bendin' the building

PUT ONE OVER ON Mr.. TAFT



President Taft, while on one Of
his trips to the west, made a stop
at small town where he spoke a
few minutes and received the usual
bushel or two of flowers from the adj
miring young ladies. just as the
special was pulling out Of the sta
ton barefoot boy, carrying bou-
quet, came running and squirming
through the crowd. Mr.. Taft saw
him.
81 can't run away from the little
fellow like this" he said, pulling the
bell rope and bringing the train to
a stop.
The youngster came up breathless-
ly and delivered the roses. The pres
ident smiled and banded him dol
lar.
''Tom," said he to the porter,
after the train had resumed its way,
''it seems to me those flowers are
rather wilted. The boy must have
had a hard time getting through the
crowd.
They ought to be wilted," an
swered Tom, with grin. "That
there bouquet has been on this train
for three days, and / just threw it
out as we came into that town back
there"
