The Watermelon.

Oh! heated ones, be of good cheer.
The watermelon seasons here,
And underneath its dark. green rind
Is dainty food and drink combined.
Just lift one from chest of ice
And cut great big, whopping slice,
Oh, joy supreme. delicious, great.
When one starts in to excsvate.
A knife and fork? Yes. if you will.
But if you wish to get thrill
OF joy to beat a dozen bands
You'll tackle it with both your hands.
Just hold slice up to your face
And then start in care to erase,
Your features may behid from view,
But something good is up to you.
So welcome. melon. to the town,
We love you. but we'll put you down.
You're green and seedy to the sight,
But then we know your heart is right.

WRONG CUE.

One Of the new members of congress
is a very young man who, when he was
making his campaign, had a great eye
for publicity. AS he was appealing
particularly to the labor element, he
sent out a story telling how he liked
to work on iron. Later, in order to
make good on the story, he had a
small blacksmith shop built near his
stable.
One day a delegation of labor men
called on him and he boasted about
his enthusiasm for making shoes for
his own horses out of straight bars
of iron. He took the delegation to the
shop.
Jack" he called out, when within
a few yards of the shop, where are
some Of those iron bars use for max
ing horseshoes?"
They're all in here" Jack called
back. Il amt had time to straighter
'em out since you hammered 'em VI
for that delegation yesterday."-Pop

FOUGHT DISEASE MANY YEARS
Many Of the Most Prolific Of Authors
Never Knew What Really Good
Health Ever Meant.

No one would conclude from read
ing Robert Louis Stevenson that for
twenty years he fought a grim battle
with an insidious disease, and that
many of his most sparkling para
graphs were composed between
spasms of pain that threatened to
carry him off at any moment.
Likewise, the author of the mimi
table and cheerful 'David Harum"
suffered under the stress of endless
pain and sorrow until his book was
finished, when he passed away before
he could see the rewards of his he
roic efforts.
Herbert Spencer spent a lifetime
fighting disease and sickness, which
in his early boyhood was considered
so threatening that his parents
thought it waste of time and money
to give him much of an education.
John Arlington Symonds pro-
duced twenty-five scholarly volumes
after his doctors pronounced him a
confirmed invalid who would soon
die. In spite of the inroads of dis
ease he labored long and lovingly at
his books, and died with all human
ity his debtor.
Green, the historian, was also an
invalid for years, but he continued
laboring at his great work and fin
ished it before his disease could kill
him. 1t was by, sheer will-power
that he kept off the disease until he
had dedicated to the English people
his famous history.

that some of the leading American

and have promised to introduce the
white peruke in America. be the first
to wear them there.
A row of pearls strung across the
chin and fastened to both sides OF the
hat is the latest. The new fashion
was attended, it is said. by matron
wh6H tdecollete was not quite as al
Turing as in years gone by. Her
pearls were exquisite and, of course,
everybody's ewes rested on them.
"Baby panties" are becoming more
extravagant than ever. Lace and
ruches are lavished on them, such as
| dies never dreamed of lavishing on
their children
White stockings continue in favor,
and silk pumps must be worn on the
street with all dresses except tailor
made. There never was such ex-
travsgance in precious and semi
precious stones for the adornment of
shoe buckles.

Deafness Cannot Be Cured

by local applications. as they cannot
reach the diseased portion Of the ear.
There is only one way TO cure deafness,
and that is by constitutional remedies.
Deafness is caused by an inflamed condi-
tcn of the mucous lining of the Eusta-
chan Tube. When this tube is infamed
you have a rumbling sound or imperfect
hearing. and when II Is entirely closed.
Deafness is the result. and unless the in
fammation can be taken out and this
tube restored to its normal condition.
hearing will be destroyed forever: nine
cases out of ten are caused by Catarrh,
which is nothing but an infiamed condi-
ton Of the mucous surfaces.

many people small in stature have ac

world? I'll tell you. It's because they
get their dander up. They get tired OF
being looked down upon and of being
treated patronizingly by the big fel
lows, and they just resolve to show
people that they are worth something
even though their height may be in the
vicinity of five feet. In word, quail
ity, not quantity becomes their mo-

about the little folk is that they have
