Peculiar Belief.

Two centuries have passed since
the Scottish judge Lord Monboddo
was born. In his "Origin and Prog
ress of Language" he argued that hui
man beings should, be studied like
other animals; but this doctrine SEEM
ed to the contemporaries of DR.. John
son SO ridiculous that the wags based
many jest upon it. His belief that
men got rid of their tails by sitting
upon them would now scarcely raise
smile among anthropologists. Among
his more startling propositions was the
earnestly maintained one that the ou-
rang-outang was class of the hui
man species, and that it's want Of
speech was merely accidental"

What So Precious
AS a Healthy Baby?
Every Youngsfer Can Have Fine
Digestion if GiUen a Good
Baby LQx0five:

In spite of the greatest personal
care and the most intelligent attention
to diet, babies and children will be-
come constipated, and it is fact that
constipation and indigestion have
wrecked many a young life. To start
with good digestive apparatus is to
start life without handicap.
But, as we cannot all have perfect
working bowels, we must do the next
best thing and acquire them, or train
done by the use of laxative-tonic
very highly recommended by great
many mothers. The remedy is called
DR.. Caldwell's Syrup Pepsin and has
been on the market for two genera
tions. It can be bought conveniently
at any drug store for fifty cents or one
dollar a bottle, and those who are al
ready convinced Of it's merits buy the
dollar size.
It's mildness makes it the ideal medi-
cine for children, and it is also very
pleasant to the taste. 1t Is sure in it's
effect, and genuinely harmless. Very
little of it is required and it's frequent
use does not cause it to lose its ef-
feet, as is the case with SO many other
remedies.
Thousands can testify to its merits
in constipation, Indigestion, bilious
ness, sick headaches, etc., among
them reliable people like Mrs. James

RARE PRESENCE OF MIND
At Least 1t Is to Be Supposed Young
Lady's Mother Regarded 1t
as Such.

Speaking of rare presence of mind

the case of a handsome young woman
of his acquaintance. She had gone to
the railway station to meet man
friend of the family, and when he de-
barked from the train the young man
lost his hear and impulsively kissed
her. The girl thought it the part of
prudence to tell her mother of the af-
fair, upon which the latter was simply
horrifieds-
"You don't mean to tell me that he
had the impudence to kiss you?" she
cried. And to think of the crowd at
the station! Why, my dear, what did
you do in such an embarrassing stu
atom"
why, mother, I just kissed him
back, of course" coolly replied the
young woman. Il wanted to give all
those people the impression that we
were relatives. The Sunday Maga-
