HOW TO KEEP A SECRET
BY GEORGIA HORN.
sssssssssssssssssssssss,

I've been out of town for few
days." remarked Alice to her friend
Nell. "Bess and Claribell Spencer en-.
tertained all our old school club at
their summer place. Rose Lodge, be-
fore they closed it. There were ten
OF us all told, and we had quite an
exciting time. l wish dared tell YOU
about It,"
Why shouldn't you tell me?"
We'll, l know really should not.
but II you'll promise eternal secrecy,

friend OF virginias and anything
that concerns her will be OF special
interest to you.
You see, the first night we were at
Rose Lodge we sat on the floor before
the blazing fire and played truth The
engaged girls all confessed, and when
1t came Virginia's turn she laughed
and said she wasn't engaged-yet!
And that was all she would say.
You know how kilograms are
usually delivered by telephone in the
country. Well. one morning when
was STRENGTHENING the dining room q
message came over the phone for vir-
sinia. She was out walking. 80 l took

Nell.
1T was. I earnestly beg you to re-
turn unopened special delivery letter

I cannot explain 1t was signed John

Before Virginia came In from her

by boy from the village, and handed
Virginia the dispatch that l had writ.

LOSS BEYOND
AN ESTIMATE

When from 100000 to 5000 900
persons are out of work we know to
certainty that they are losing at
the rate of sl.S0O,OO0,O0O to $4,000.
100000 a year in wages.
When our imports increase by 800
100000. displacing that amount of
home made products, we can easily
figure the loss.
When failures increase in six
months to the extent of $4,000 800
the figures speak for themselves.
II We lose millions in revenue we
know at all times the exact amount.
Various other losses can be told
In exact figures.
But they are all small indeed when
the indirect losses from the operation
Of such a law as the present Demo
cratic Free Trade tariff are consid-
cred.
Since October of last year the
value Of property and securities has
fallen by from 100000 to $50 ,eOO,,
600. But IL the exact figures were
known they would not tell the story.
A house or store that cannot be
rented is not only for the tme being
of no value whatever to the owner,
but a burden, for taxes, insurance,
ETC.. must still be paid. Here Is a
loss that is incalculable. No dwell
ing or store or business plant can be
sold that is not paying anything,
that is being held at positive loss
And there are many thousands OF
such buildings and businesses today
1t may not all be dead loss. for
values will come again when Protec.
ton comes again, but for the time be
ing the losses are beyond computa
ton.

TWO HOME WOMEN
TALKED ABOUT HAIR

Two women met in our store the other
day, when one of them said:
"My, how pretty your hair looks! What
have you been doing to it'll"
sWhy, l have been using Harmony Hair

the reply.
"Why, indeed" replied the first wo-
man, ''that is just what am using. Isn't

Strange Facts About Sleep.

No scientist can explain what sleep
really is. M,st human beings sleep on
their sides, with the knees drawn up;
elephants always and horses COM
monty sleep standing up. Bats sleep
head downward, hanging by their hind
legs. Birds, with the exception of
owls and the hanging parrots of India,
sleep with their heads turned tailward
over >the back and the beak thrust
among the feathers between the wing
and body. Storks, gulls and other long
legged birds sleep standing on one leg.
Ducks sleep on open water. To avoid
drifting shoreward they keep padding
with one foot, thus making them move
in circle. Sloths sleep hanging by
their four feet, the head tucked in be-
tween their fore legs. Foxes and
wolves sleep eurled up, their noses and
the soles of their feet closed together
and blanketed by their bushy tails.
Hares, snakes and fishes sleep with
their eyes wide open. Owls, in addi-
ton to their eyelids, have a screen
that they draw sideways across their
eyes to shut out the light, for they
sleep in the daytime. No one knows
whether insects sleep or not. Man is
the only animal that ever sleeps on its
back.-New York World

Britain. Conscience Fund.

Much more money has been sent
anonymously to the British govern
ments conscience fund than to that
of the American government. The first
recorded payment Of this kind was the
sum of $500, sent to Pitt in 1889,
with letter requesting him to apply
the money ito the use of the state in
such manner that the nation may not
suffer by its having been detained from
the public treasury. You are implored
to do this for the case of conscience
to an honest man" Nearly every year
since then the chancellor of the ex-
chequer has received certain amount
of conscience money. In 1871 the
chancellor received $4,000 from per-
son who stated that he had engaged
in smuggling for many years, and that
this sum represented all his profits
therefrom. One year the conscience
money forwarded by British taxpayers
totaled $4,000.

without ipjuring the stomach. In fact,
Rexall Olive Oil Emulsion is not only
pleasant to take, but even the most sensi-
tive stomach is benefited by it, and the
digestion improved. On the other hand,
it contains no alcohol or habit forming
drugs, which most parents object to Civ
ing their children. 1t does its good work
by taking hold of the weakness and
builds the body up to its natural strength,
at the same time makingiit strong 10 re-

RudYard Kipting.
If we knew the cares and trials,
Knew the efforts all in vain,
And the bitter disappointment,
Understood the loss and gain
Would the grim eternal roughness
Seem-I wonder-just the same9
Should we help where now we hinder
Should we pity where we blamef
Ali we judge each other harshly,
knowing not life's hidden force;
Knowing not the fount of action
Is less turbid at its source;
Seeing not amid the evil
All the golden grains of good;
And we'd love each other. better
If we only understood.
Could we judge all!deeds by motives
That surround each others lives,
See the naked heart and spirit,
Know what spur the action gives,
Often we should find it better,
Purer than we judge we should,
We should love each other better
If we only understood.
Could we judge all deeds by motives,
See the good. and bad within,
Often we should love the sinner
All the while we loathe the sin,
Could we know the powers working
To overthrow integrity,
We should judge each others errors
With more patient charity.
