LEARNED HIS LESSON
YOUNG DOCTOR TOOK COUNSEL
AND PRoFITED THEREBY.
Found That There Are Many Who
Seek the Touch of Healing Hand,
but 1t Must Be SkiIifuIIy
Applied

1. While yet King Woodrow ruled
over the people a certain young man
went forth from the place where ply
sicians are taught and betook him UNI
to city. saying,
2. Verify, I have studied long and
diligently and spent much gold gain
ing wisdom in my calling. Now will
heal the sick and lame and get me
great riches and high repute among
men.
3. Whereupon he sought out a room
near the marketplace and hung out a
single to proclaim his calling.
4. And in due season it came to pass
that the sick came to him for counsel,
and many were healed and went upon,
their way rejoicing.
5. And it came to pass that many
women with gold ornaments and pleas
ing incense came to seek his COUNSEL
and be healed of divers things.
s. But with one accord they came
not the second time unto him.
z. Whereupon he mourned exceed
ingly, for he said unto himself, Alas
and alas: Without the favor of the
rich ones, l can never gain either
wealth or high repute.
s. And he sought an elder doctor,
sorrowing, and spake unto him. saying,
8. Behold, thou art high In favor of
these wealthy danes, and they bestow
much fees upon thee, while /, who ex-
eel thee in knowledge, get but single
whack at them, and they return no
more e ssstsas 81 sss.g.,,
TO- And the elder physician winked
the other eye, saying,
Il. Much learning hath made thee
mad. Remember that when a woman
sayeth she is i'll, she desireth not the
truth, but much attention.
IL And it came to pass that when
next a rich woman called upon tho
young physician, he rebuked hep not,
saying, few nights sleep and a cup
of hot water before breakfast will
restore thee. 81
13 Nay, he shook his head sadly
and gave her many pills of dough and
sugar, saying,
Ia. Get thee to another cline and
take thine ease among the palms, and
keep thy body supple by much dancing
and bathing on the beach
15. And, behold, she showered much,
gold upon him and signed him for her
family doctor by the year.
l6. And likewise it befell with many
more who came, until the young man
waxed fat and equity with much prac-,
tice
II. And he reflected often, saying
within himself, Verify, it is not only
the showmongers that fain must give
the public what it wants Selah.-

The Barefoot Hour.

Have you a barefoot hour IN your
day?
This is one Of the essentials Of a
beautiful foot, and should not be neg
lected
In the morning, while dressing, do
not put on your shoes and stockings
until the very last thing, and at night
make them the first articles TO come
of.
Disdain bedroom slippers, hose or
any other covering, and let your feet
remain unclothed for as long a period
as possible. Do not sit or lie still,
however, for any but a small fraction
of time What your feet need is &C
tivity while unrestricted by shoe or
hose.
Exercise of the toes will strengthen
the arch and give you that high instsp
which makes almost any shoe fit gu
perbly. And what is more, no bare
foot enthusiast viii ever be afflicted
with aching muscle-worn feet

COAT DESIGNED FOR FALL
Much More Distinct Outline of
the Figure.

The first striking novelty is a long
coat, tight fitting and calling for a
more defined figure than we have in
dulged in for some years past. Below
the waist it widens into full skirts, like
the old redingote, and the skirts have
sometimes a shaped flounce to give
them even greater fullness. 1t fastens
right up to the throat in front, and
from the waist downward it opens and
falls away at either side This is the
type of coat that will presage the au-
tumn fashions.

USE FOR OUTWORN FROCK
May Be Converted Into the Very Best
Form of Underwear at Little
Trouble or Expense.


If one of your light crepe de chine
frocks is out of date or somewhat
worn, it isn't necessary to cast it aside
Or to give it away. Instead, make an
underskirt of it. If the skirt of the
frock isn't very wide, it viii be all
she better for this seasons petticoat.
Even when wide frocks are worn, the
anderskirt, to be smart, must be scant.
If you wish a founce on the under
skirt, this can be cut from the nate
rial used in the bodice. 1t matters not
how many pieces must be put to-
gether to form the ruf9e, for the
seams can be skillfully concealed
when the aounce is accordion plated.
Il there is not enough material for
the making Of the whole skirt, the
upper half of the skirt may be Of lin

On September 90 and 80 and October
1 the monument will be dedicated by
the state of Illinois in connection
with a centennial jubilee, aud the
principal speakers at that time will
be Governor Edward F. Dunno and the
representatives of the state in con-

For ten years after its erection Fort
Edwards was the headquarters of
United States troops. 1t was of par
ticular value to the government in
dealing with the Indians, among whom
English agents continually were en-
deavoring to create trouble. At that
time the protection of settlers in that
region was not concerning the govern
ment in that they had not begun to
arrive. Not long after the fort was
built, though, people working toward
the West began to locate in the neigh
borhood of Fort Edwards, and for
years it housed many facilies who
took advantage of its shelter until
they were able to secure locations OF
their own.
In Zachary Taylor's time the region
was heavily wooded. Directly across
the Mississippi is the boundary line
between Iowa and Missouri At that

SQUIRRELS SKIP ON WIRE
Tiny Animals Perform Daring Aerial
Feats to OutWit Nut Thieves
of Philadelp hia.

lphia.-1here has been
crowd of Kensingtonians in Norris
square, Diamond and Hancock streets,
every day since it was discovered that
the squirrels the Kensington Board of
Trade put into the open space several
years ago will perform incredible
climbing feats for nut.
The discovery was made by young
man who spends much of his time
studying zoology, botany, and such
things. He threw a nut to a squirrel
in. the square, expecting TO see it do
the usual stunt, which is to carry it
up tree and hide it. Instead the
little animal skipped across the lawns
and assembled a telegraph pole with
lightning speed
While the naturalist looked on
amazed, the busy little creature, hold
ing the priced nut firmly, skipped
lightly along the insulated wiring to
Hancock street. 1t then hoped to
another wire which leads to the roof
of st. Boniface's Catholic church.
Running along the wire with the grace
of the daintiest t1ght-rope walker, the
little animal deposited the nut in a
crevice near the roof of the edif1ce,
and then returned to the square by
the same route.
The answer is that the squirrels do
not trust their old hiding places in the
park. They have evidently been
robbed of come food they had worked
laboriously for days to store up. At
least, that is the way the dopesters
in the daily audience have it figured
out. 1t would be a nutty squirrel, they
think, that would risk its life and
dignity in such manner just for
nut.
The performances are held daily.
All that is necessary is to give one
of the little animals a nut, and the
show begins.

WILL RECEIVE
$4,000 PURSE
Little Chance for Champion to
Get Big Amount to Meet
WoIgast in Milwaukee.
By Left Hook.

VTT1LLIE RITCHIE has been
w guaranteed $4,000 for his ten
round bout with Ad Wolgast,
according to press dispatches sent out
from Milwaukee. The chances are,
however, that the champion will not
get this sum for exchanging punches
with tho Milwaukee wildcat"
The Federal League magnates are
supposed to be champions at offer
ing high salaries, but they are only
amateurs when compared to some Of
our best little fight promoters. But
when it comes to paying out the real
cash-well, that is different story
WHEN Ritchie was matched to
w clash with Leach Cross in New
York, it was announced that he would
receive $4,000 for his end of the
purse and also 80 per cent privilege
But after the encounter the San Fran
cisco boy only drew down $4,000. It
was staled at the time that he was
satisfied with the percentage Of the
house and did not ask Promoter Billy
Gibson tc give him the much talked
of $4,000 guarantee.
The lightweight champion is one Of
the most gentlemanly young men in
the country, but we hardly believe he
would make 1lD5DD Slll VI SfsVVu.
Boxers, or, for that matter. the great
majority of people, are not in the hab
it of doing such things
F 1t is true that Ritchie is TO re-
ceive $4,000 for fighting Wolgast,
the Milwaukee promoters VIII have a
difficult task making any money for
themselves. And nobody has ever ac-
cused boxing promoters of being con-
rected with the ring game merely for
the good of their health Wolgast
also has a pretty good idea of his
drawing powers, and will not be sat
isfied with less than $4,000 for fight
ing Ritchie.

vorite than RItchie through the

battles i'm that section of the country
