ONE HOURS CoURTSHIP

Vivian Minshall, the young adj
vertising manager, sat looking
over a list of inquiries that had
just been received as the result of
his efforts in new field. To his
right sat Maggie Calvin, a fair
lass of 18 summers, busily en-
gagged in "stringing buzzers.
The said buzzers were a new ad-
vertising novelty to be used at
coming street fair. The drowsY
silence of a midsummer day
weighed upon them, unbroken
save by the soft tick-tock of the
ancient clock and its muffled
chime as it struck eleven.
Turning from the monotonous
correspondence, Vivian watched
the girls nirnble fingers as she
threaded the small eyelets and
knotted the strings. She was a
pretty girl. Her fair, round face,
her glossy, black hair, and her
full but graceful figure would
have won admiration from the
severest critical judge of beauty,
and as he watched her. her
charms seemed magnifed a hun
dred fold.
But he was bashfu1. Business
and lovemaking are two very diff
ferent undertakings. Today, as
he watched her working patient
ly at the tedious task, with just
the shadow of smile lurking
round her lips, he longed for an
opportunity to breach the amor

THE PEEVISH CHILD
NEEDS TREATMENT

When child sulks drowsily, or is
fretful, it is usually due to some slight
disorder of the digestive organs, and a
mild laxative is very often all that is
necessary to restore cheerfulness and
buoyancy of spirits.
In cases where the use of a gentle,
effective laxative stimulant is indi-
Gated, many of the best physicians are
now prescribing Dr. Caidwell's Syrup
Pepsin. This preparation is admitted
ly the perfect laxative, being mild, yet
positive in it's action on the bowels,
and far preferable to violent cathart-
les and purgative waters. 1t is very
pleasant to the taste and is an ideal
remedy to regulate and strengthen the
stomach, liver and bowels. It's easy,
natural action makes it especially de-
sirable in the case Of children, dose
at bedtime being sure to have the de-
sired result next morning, with no at
tendant unpleasantness or discomfort.
DR.. Caldwell's Syrup Pepsin is sold
by druggists everywhere in SOC and
$1.00 bottles. If you have never tried
this splendid remedy, write to DR.. w.
B. Caldwell, 201 Washington ST., Mon
t1cello, Ill, for sample. He will be
very glad to send a trial bottle with

Two Smiles.

Ezra Pound, the poet, was talking
at the Authors club, in New York,
about Shelley's cremation.
Cremation, although beautiful" he
said, tends itself to ribald jest in a
way that sepulture doesn't.
"Who can forbear smile at the
thought of that devoted young ma
iron, who, her front steps being COW
cred with sleet, sprinkled her first
husbands ashes over them in order
that her second husband might de-
scend in safety?"
Smiling himself, Mr.. Pound re-
sumed:
"And who could forbear another
smile at the thought Of the young
widow on the blustery March morning
who entered her drawing room to find
that the wind had overturned the vase
which contained her husbands re-
mains?
'Pshaw,' she said, now isn't it just
like George to throw his ashes all
over my new Kirmanshah rug!'"
