, stiII Willing to Be Imposed Upon.

Still Willing to Be Imposed Upon.
He had youth and much faith and
inexperience, but his good father took
him into his Office to initiate him into
the mysteries of business.
The second day he was at work a
man came in asking for financial aid
with pathetic story about a sick
wife at home and six helplessly small
children without a crust in the
house.
The boy listened earnestly and then
went into his dads Office to intercede
for the unfortunate man. He told
the sad story seriously. The father
leaned forward and peered into the
outer Office at the vagrant.
my son, credulity is one or those
good things that die young-and it is
such impostors as that man who make
it So" he said impatiently "Why
when that man was here last week
he had eight children, according to
his story"
But, father, don't you see," replied
the son, tragically. "The other two
probably died of starvation"

ARE NOT SLAVES OF FASHION
In China Man Can Dress as He
Pleases Without Attracting
Attention.

The fashions in Suchien, Kiangsu
province, have variety of such extent
that every man can dress according to
his individual choice and still be In
correct taste and without attracting
special attention from anybody else
In other words, the styles this year
are of personal ideals, according to a
correspondent of the British China
Daily Herald.
He says that every man wears what
is right in his own eyes, and there are
few If any, to ridicule. A panama hat
goes jauntily down the street, closely
followed by a Uncovered brim hat;
felt hats of scarlet and verdigris green
come along with ,grays and browns
that do the halter credit for unique in
vention. These, with the Eskimo top
capes, few derby hats and the smart
military uniforms, give the streets a
piquancy which was unknown in the
monotonous china blue of former
years.
Among the notices posted on the
city gate is fashion plate that has
been exhibited for weeks. 1t displays
two or three of the typical western
suits"-the swallow-tailed and the low
front frock for evening wear-street
garb of European and American style,
and many other varieties. There one
also finds the plated skirts recon-
mended for the women, and close by
them is the proud silk or stovepipe hat
of felt. which has its special corner
with other headgear.

Kansas and the nation were never

the state. Every platform pledge

will look the matter up and see
what can be done. If the govern

at less than cost, object to the in

plications. An eminent physician
once said that ninety-6ve per cent OF

chronic dyspepsia. Their ingredi:
ents are soothing to the inhamed
membranes OF the stomach. Rich
in Pepsin and Bismuth, two Of the
greatest digestive aids known to
medicine, the relief they afford is
very prompt. Used persistently and
regularly for short time, they tend
to relieve pains caused by stomach
disorders.
Rexall Dyspepsia Tablets help
insure healthy appetite, aid diges-
ton, and promote nutrition. AS
evidence OF our faith in them, we ask
you to try them at our risk. II they
do not give entire satisfaction, we
will return the money you paid us
