HEART and HOME PROBLEMS

Dear Mrs Thompson: I have gone
with a young fellow six months. He
wrote to me until this last month.
When met him he talked so nice. How
can I get him to come to my house?
/ love him dearly. He said he would
remember my birthday. 1t is this
month. Do you think he will? How
can you tell if they are flattering you?
Please give me good advice He said
he would come when he could when he
could get horse. Do you believe hi :?
HEARTBROKEN.
When a man stops writing to girl
he usually stops because he wants to.
Sometimes though, sickness may keep
him from writing In that case, it is
only a matter of time when he will
write again.
However, the only thing girl can do
is to do nothing. If she is wise, she
will not permit herself to be too I'M
happy and she'll console herself with
other friends.
You may know that anybody is flat
tering you when your own common
sense tells you that what he says isn't
true
If the young man has kept his word
to you in other things, he probably can
be trusted to come when he gets the
horse, and to give you the birthday

New York, April 4.-Otis Crandall,
demon hurler and lusty batter, is
showing form this spring which makes
Manager John ]. Muggsy McGraw re-
joice with exceeding gladness
Otis, backed by the best club in the
National League last year, got away
with thirteen victories and seven de-
feats for a percentage of $50 and a
ranking of ninth among the hurlers.
Yet, in effectiveness, he was only
thirteenth in the league, with an aver
age of 3-61 runs earned off his de-
livery per game.
Otis had a stronger hold on the
affections of Muggsy than he might
otherwise have had because he was
one of those rare and exceedingly
valuable birds, a 800 hitter. Otis
smote the pill SO Justify and oppor-
timely that he was in great demand
as pinch hitter. When the mighty
Mush Mccormick, kept solely for the
purpose of delivering timely swatS,
had walloped his waIlop, Otis quite
frequently was projected into the sue
ceeding vacuum. That he delivered is
attcsted by his highly desirable bat
ting average of .313.
Otis has been hurting alright ball
this spring, doing Internationally
cruel things to the hitting ambitions
of minor league clubs. Also, Otis
has been pasting-th pill with all his
old-time ardor. Muggsy smokers de-
lightedly in his sweater sleeve every
time he notes Otis performing, for
Otis looks like a four-way winner.

felt his dignity, but seeing that it was
me, he had departed from his usual
course. 1 tried to show him that 1 ap-
preciated the honor, and all went we'll
until he suggested that in selling my
Pain Alleviator I raise the price from
% cents and whack up with him. 1
have no doubt that the people would
have purchased at the price, as there
had been epidemic of measles in the
town and the patients wanted some
thing to brace up on, but with indig-
nation burning in my face 1 said to
the mayor nay. 1 wish to say right
here to the public:
1.-The standard price of my Pilgrim
Pain Alleviator is rs cents.
Whenever you find a human hyena
asking more for it set him down as a
swindler. Look fixedly at the cork of
every bottle before buying and see that
the initials P. J. are stamped on 1t.
Look for the yaller label. Any other
sort is fraud.
My bottles have been emptied of
their contents and vinegar and other
liquids substituted. Protect yourself.
There is no graft about the Allie
viator. 1t is straight goods first and
last.
The druggist who invites you to take
Old Crow whisky in place of my Allie
viator is a horse thief and a swindler,
and is inyiting his own doom:
When the mayor found that 1 was
not on the whack he complimented me
as an honest man and said that he had
only been testing me. Having eaten a
boiled dinner at the tavern, I sought
the public square and offered my
wares for sale, but when / had sold
began to double up and howl with
pain and accuse me of selling a rat
exterminator in disguise. 1 knew at
once that the mayor was behind the

speaks to me. How can L win his
love? He comes to my home to see
me and took me to a show I never
was introduced to him. He asks me to
go out riding with him. Is it proper
for me to go?
I am Is and he only IL. I think his
mother objects to his going with a girl

You can be a good influence for him,

A New Stamp Machine.

Millions of dollars will be saved the
government by the use of a newly de-
vised stamp printing machine. The
apparatus is scheduled to turn out d
mile of postage stamps every five min
utes. 1t was designed by Benjamin X.
Stickney. There will be a saving OF 81
PER cent in the production cost OF
stamps. This new machine, which
prints, gums, dries, perforates and
either cuts into sheets or winds into
coils 12,0o0 stamps in one minute, will
save the government several million
dollars in the cost of stamps alone in
the course of a few years. The bureau
of engraving and printing now turns
out 10000, 900 stamps daily. but with the
use of the new machine and because OF
the increased demand, it will be able to
manufacture many more millions day.
