BAR AGAINST Love
Protested Note Makes "BIue
Monday" but Eventually There
Was Glad Ending.
Bv GEORGE ELMER COBB.

It was blue Monday" for Max VII
Der, with a vengeance! 1t was after q
bright. blissful Sunday, for had he moi
seen Leila Marsh and passed with hel
one Of the most delightful evenings
of his life? Not that affairs were set
tied in that quarter. but he could moi
forget the bright eyes and radiant
cheeks that had greeted him, nor the
parting moment under the waving
cherry blossoms, with the white moon
light drifting down upon that rare
head Of FURNISHED gold.
Then, too. up to the hour of the
opening of the bank, Max had fell
something more than cheerful and
happy. He was thirteen hundred dol
lars to the good, had permanent pc
sition, enjoyed the confidence of the
bank officers, and was led to look to
cashiership in the near future.
And then the reaction: the forma
call to the office Of the stern and dig
nified president, who waved him to
!, seat and tossed a note across thu
glass-topped table with the single
word:
Protested"
Max turned little pale as hi
scanned the bit Of paper. It was a mott
ninety days old, signed by. Simon
Marsh and indorsed by himself
amount $1,000. and pinned to 1t wal
the notation of fifteen dollars interes
overdue, and one-fifth Of that amour
for protest fees. He was considerabl!
perturbed, but looked up steadily will

the president, his declaration fixed ant

room he could feel those probing, re-
buking eyes Of his superior fixed upon
him.
Hence BLUE Monday" hence at the
noon hour Max disregarded lunch and
visited the dingy room where the man
he had befriended lived. He found ST.
mon Marsh bending over worn
satchel, trying to close it's top over
bulk beyond its capacity.
Sorry you came he observed.
Strengthening up, but looking embar-
raised and guilty. Il was just going
after that thousand dollars l owe the
bank"
you owe it to me now" advised
Max, with a nervous laugh.
"Eh-how's that?"
Well, l deceived you. When you
wanted that money, and wanted 1t so
bad, and seemed to have such glitter
ing prospects, hated to refuse you.
I submitted your application to the d.
rectors, together with your security

laughed at it. IL knew you, and be.

"You needn't tell it," almost shout
ed the old man. You did that for me?
And it's leaked out. And my niece
knew it first"
"Your niece-Leila?" repeated Max,
stupefied.
"Just that She was here an hour
ago, crying. She twitted me for taking

faith in my little mining claim and .

The old man sat down on his satchel
and dashed the tears from his eyes.
Max was really touched.

Mr.. Smart was a very testy old
fellow, and If there was one thing he
hated more than another 1t was to be

old grub basis. It's slow, but sure.
Just hold that note. I'm going to make
good"
Max shook his head obviously as he
left the old man. He was gloomy all
day. In fact, his spirits became SO de-
pressed towards evening that he felt
he must get sympathy, at least distrac-
ton of mind somewhere. So he went
to see Leila.
She was formal, chilling. He spent
an awkward hour trying to keep up q
casual conversation. Then he grew
fairly desperate He had lost his
money-it looked as If he had lost his
love, as we'll.
There is something I must say"
he spoke in a strained. tremulous tone
as he stood at the door in parting. 1T
is on my heart and will not allow me
to rest. Miss Marsh, Leila, | love-"
The solemn dignity Of her uplifted
hand checked him.
"Not-now," she said simply. There
is a debt to pay, MI. WILDER. Good
evening""
And about a week later Max knew
that Leila had done two things
opened savings bank account and In
sured her life. He might admire her
high consistency to principle, but this
set barrier against love made him
wretched
They met at church, at some local
social events after that, but always q
distance between them. It nearly
broke the heart of Max to see
marked economy in dress on the part
Of Leila. She was an orphan and
worked as stenographer for the city
courts. Her pay was not large.
Saving, skimping, suffering to pay
meme, who would give her my life!'
reflected Max, distractedly.
There came into the bank one day
a bronzed, bearded man, with ragged
canvas satchel bearing traces Of lonl
and difficult travel. He placed Il
across the counter. opened it and tool
out small wooden box.

many another New England
town, a number of men and wo-
men who were called "charac-

Brown, a man unfortunately ad-
dicted to drink, and frequently
intoxicated for days at a time.
On one occasion he went into
the shop of the local halter, Mr..
Smith, and asked for the best
beaver he had. Mr.. Smith pro-
duced the desired article, saying,
as he took the money:
THAT beaver will last a man a
lifetime.
Bill went proudly down the
main street with his fine beaver
on his head, and Immediately
celebrated the event with a pro-
tracted debauch.
When he recovered he returned
to the shop with a most disre-
putable hat.

Eaters of Earth.

The practice of eating earth is
not confined to any race or re-
gion of the earth. In America
several tribes of Indians, of the
Northern as we'll as the Southern
continent, are given to using
earth as food. Different varities
of clay seem to be preferred.
The Pawnee Indians used a
yellowish clay, which they
shaped into little balls that were
allowed to dry in the air and
were then slowly roasted at the
open fire. When the clay at
tanned a red color the balls were
removed, moistened with water,
and eaten. These clay balls
were especially liked when
served in connection with fish,
and seem to have promoted d.
gestion.
The Timmeh Indians of the
Mckenzie river used to resort to
the earth as food in times of
famine. They dug out the clay
found in the hollows along the
banks of the river. In prosper
Gus years they chewed the clay
as a delicacy. The Apaches
mixed powdered clay into their
meal before baking this into
their rude loaves of bread.
The Indians in the uplands of
Bolivia ate light clay that is
nearly white in color; this they
used either raw or in the form of
cakes of various shapes, which
were sold in the market places.
They also prepared sauce with
the clay; this they ate with
boiled potatoes.

Bowels are Basis
of Child Health

The careful mother, who watches
closely the physical peculiarities of her
children, will soon discover that the
most important thing in connection with
a child's constant good health is to keep
the bowels regularly open. Sluggish
bowels will be followed by loss of appe-
tite, restlessness during sleep, irrita-
bility and a dozen and one similar evil
dences of physical disorder.
At the first sign of such disorder give
the child a teaspoonful of DR.. CaldwelPs
Syrup Pepsin at night on retiring and
repeat the dose the following night if
necessary-more than that will scarcely
be needed. You will find that the child
will recover its accustomed good spirits
at once and will eat and sleep normally.
This remedy is a vast Improvement
over salts, cathartics, laxative waters
and similar things, which are altogether

too powerful for a child. The homes of
Mrs. Carrie Mcdonald, 1896 Trigg Ave,
Memphis, Tenn, and Mrs. Sallie E. Grif-
fifth, Veechdale, KY, are always supplied
with DR.. CaldwelPs Syrup Pepsin, and with
them, as with thousands of others, there
is no substitute for this grand laxative.
1t is really more than a laxative, for it
contains superior tonic properties which
help to tone and strengthen the stomach,
liver and bowels so that after brief
use of it all laxatives can be dispensed
with and nature will do it's own work.
Anyone wishing to make trial of this
remedy before buying it in the regular
way of a druggist at fifty cents or one
dollar large bottle (family size) can
have sample bottle sent to the home
free of charge by simply addressing DR..

Corn Growing Contest Idea Spreading

To interest the boys and girls Of the
farm i'm husbandry make rural life
more attractive, and thus forestall
the usual exodus to the towns and
cities, the idea Of clubs for growing
corn, potatoes, cotton, ETC., for the
boys, and of clubs for the purpose of
interesting the girls in domestic econ
omy, was originated by the United
States Department Of Agriculture, es-
pecially for the South and backed
later by the cooperation Of the
States, the enrolment has become
enormous and the results obtained
almost miraculous.
What some of the boys and girls
have accomplished seems impossible,
but the stories are true nevertheless.

maintenance, and yet, II IL obvious,
that MIR. Bryan's four years III Wash
ington will mean "a sacrifice on his
part OF, perhaps $4,000.
We will probably be told that he H.
not compelled to make that sacrifice;
that ne was under no obligation to
accept the position of Secretary of
State, and that if he il not prepared
to make the sacrifice he ought to de-
cline to continue longer i'm the Cabinet.
IL il possible that close friends of the
Secretary will disagree with his de-
cision in this matter, but, after all, i'm
what way will Mr.. Bryan's acceptance
OF these lecture invitations offend
against the welfare of the nation? He
is recognized around the globe as one
Of the worlds greatest, most accom-
plished, most powerful and finished
orators. His lectures constitute a
great source Of education. He is
honest, patriotic and courageous. He
exposes that which is wrong and es-
pouses the cause he believes to be
right. He does not fear to attack en-
trenched evil because or its power, nor
does he compromise on issues simply
because 1t would be popular to do 50.
Bryan as a public speaker performs
a service to his country equally as
great as any service by any official
anywhere.
OF course, the question Of finances
should not enter into the discussion.
I'm accepting the State portfolio, Mr.
Bryan did so with his eyes open. He
knew what 1t meant to him to accept
it. In the course of years the Office
of Secretary of State has grown to be
al Temple of Science. Its occupant is
supposed to be as immutable as the
Sphinx of Egypt. We have recog-
nized Diplomacy and Silence al inter-
changeable terms, but when Mr..
Roosevelt wanted to send Mr.. Root in
to- New York State to assail William
Randolph Hearst, the then Democratic
candidate for Governor, the Secretary
Of State did not hesitate on the mis-
sion. When Mr.. Root went from the
office Of the Secretary OF State to boss
a New York Republican convention
there was no charge that a great ira
dition was being cracked. These mis-
sions were purely partisan-and many
believed them to be partisan without
the adjective. Mr.. Bryans is a patri-
otto service; Mr.. Roots was political
service wholly indefensible.
II Mr.. Bryan desires to spend his
vacation on the lecture platform there
is no fair or reasonable objection that
can be raised to his plan. Men may
honestly differ with him, but the more
they examine into the proposition the
less they will find to criticize.-The
