ROMANTIC CHARM
OF WESTERN TRAVEL
IL Has Lost Mono Of its Beauty Since

Continual Delight.

That travel over the plains has not
los. all OF the romantic charm II
possessed in pioneer days. Is evi.
denced by the experience that befell
passengers on a Rock Island train
between Liberal and Bucklin, Kansas,
recently.
"Oh mamma, look at that pretty
lake,"
The exclamation came from a
child. Other passengers Joined the

not one but several lakes, surrounded
by stately trees. Here and there was
building. its imposing outline SHIN
mering in the sunlight like white
marble.
Look. there's town, upside down
In the clouds!r exclaimed one of the
passengers, and so it appeared. The
buildings in this magic town were
topsyturvy, spires of two churches
pointing to the ground but no. reach
ing it, as the town swan In midair.
A traveller who had boarded the
train at Liberal, shed light on the
mystery with the statement:
This is the most perfect mirage
have seen in all the years have
lived on the plains. These optical
illusions are common in early sum-
mer but / don't recall mirage so
early in the season and none at any
time so perfect as this
The little girl who made the discov-
cry wasn't satisfied. She had to ask:
Mamma. what is mirage .
The answers varied. The wise pas.
senger who had dictionary in his
bag, oracularly declared that "a mir
age is an optical effect due to total
reflection Of light at the surface. COM

"Oh.' said the little girl. And the

An Easy Way to Get
Fat and Be Strong

The trouble with mos. thin folks
who wish to gain weight is that they
insist on drugging their stomach OF
stuffing 1t with greasy foods: rubbing
on useless flesh creams" or follow
ing some foolish physical culture
stunt. while the real cause of thin
ness goes untouched. You cannot
get fat until your digestive tract as
Stimulates the food you eat.
Thanks to remarkable new sclen-
tito discovery. it is now possible to
combine into simple form the very
elements needed by the digestive or
gans to help them convert food into
rich, fat-laden blood. This master
stroke Of modern chemistry IS call cd
Sargol and has been termed the great
est OF flesh-builders. Sargol aims
through its re-generative, reconstruc-
tive powers to coax ths stomach and
intestines to literally soak up the fat
tening elements OF your food and pass
them into the blood. where they are
carried to every starved, broken-down
cell and tissue of your body. You
can readily picture the result when
this amazing transformation has TAX
en- place and you notice how your
chicks fill out. hollows about your
neck, shoulders and bust disappear
and you take on from 10 to 20 pounds
OF solid, healthy flesh. Sargol is alb
soIutely harmless, inexpensive, EN-
cient. Wilkinson & Co., mo other
leading druggists of Keokuk and vi
cinity have it and will refund your
if you are not satisfied, as
per the guarantees found In every
package.
caution:-While Sargol has given
excellent results in overcoming ner-
vous dyspepsia and general stomach
it should not be taken by
those who do not wish to gain ten
pounds or more.

pale withered hands that more thar
four score years
Had wrought for others, soothed the
hurt of tears,
Rocked children's cradles, cured the
feyer's smart,
Dropped balm OF love in many an
aching heart;
4 Now stiriess, folded like wan rose
leaves pressed
Above the snow and silence of her
breast;
4 In mute appeal they told OF labors
done
4 And well earned rest that came at
set of sun.
From worn brown the lines OF care
had swept
AS If an angels kiss, the while she
slept,
Had s1noothed the cobweb wrinkles
And gave back the peace of child
hoods day.
And on the lips the faint smile al
most said:
"None know life's secrets but the
happy dead"
So gazing where she lay we knew
that pain
And parting could not cleave her
soul az lin,
And we we're sure that they who saw
her last
In that dim vista which we call the
past"
Who never knew her, old AMI lafs
aside,
Remembering best the maiden and
the bride, 4
Have swung to greet her with the
olden speech,
That dear sweet name no later lore
can teach,
And welcome home" they cried. and I
grasped her hands
So dwells your mother in the best
of lands.
