Poor Bairn!

Which did baby resemble the more its father or mother? It's parents were, to put it charitably, not very prepossessing, nor was the baby; so, to settle the matter, they finally re- solved to refer it to arbitration.
 I'll ask old Farmer B. to step in and see baby" said it's proud fa- ther. He never spoke fiattering word in his life, and we may trust his verdict implicitly"
 So Farmer B-- was called in, and, after pinching the baby to see what it looked like when crying, he wrinkled his forehead.
 Well" he began, while the parents listened eagerly, tits the will O Providence, no doubt, but it's hard on the nipper, for all that It has a look of both of you-poor bairn!'- London Tit-Bits.

The French love for display and pomp was never better illustrated than by story which has just come to us from a war correspon- ent. When three or four hundred young officers left for the military school at St. Cyr early in August to go the front they made VOW to wear their white gloves on the fields as they had on dress parade at school In the very first en- gagement three-fourths of the young officers were killed in action. The awful mortality was later ex- plained by a German officer who told now the white gloves on the little officers hands loomed up for the German sharpshooters. Dis play and pomp go well on dress pa rade, but not in opposition to the matter-of-fact German soldiers and their well known love for efficiency in battle as well as in business.

WORRIES OF ONE GIRL
BY NELLIE COOKE.

Whats the trouble tonight?" asked the young man who was calling. You look bothered about something and you are painfully quiet"
 That's a dreadful slam," said the girl, with mild resentment. There isn't necessarily anything wrong mere ly because I'm not chattering like a magpie. I shouldn't like to be told that I'm chatterbox."
 T never said such a thing of you," declared the young man. You couldn't be chatterbox if you tried. am just wondering why you are more than usually silent. Are you tired?n
 Not exactly. Just worried"
 Why are you worried? Who is i'll? Why didn't you tell me? Is it your mother? She has been looking lit tie pale lately, recall
 No. mothers all right, I'm glad to say. But there's lots of things to worry about besides illness. Peoples business may not be getting on we'll. <"

Whole Village to Jail.

After four years of litigation 1t ap- pears that every member of the two hundred families composing the Jap anese village of Shimidzu must go to jail.
 The Tokio court affirmed recently the decision of the lower court, which in 1908 sentenced every inhabitant of Shimidzu to from six to fourteen months imprisonment for cutting trees in the imperial forests at Ya- guchi
 The lower court imposed fines in default of the payment of which the jail sentences were imposed. It was charged that the Shimidzu men women ard children cut timber Tn the i-nnerial forests for ten years

Clinq to Old-Time Toys.

The eternal feminine of the juvenile variety still concentrates it's affec- tions on dolls as gifts, with the result that no other toy is sold so largely at holiday times. Boys, say the dealers, scatter their affections on various military toys, tin soldiers, trumpets and bug!es being their favorites. The boys voice. it seems, is still for War, while few little girls have become so advanced" as to despise the make believe baby.

the young man, admfringly It is just like a girl of your nature to worry when her father is feeling anxiety. hope he appreciates your thoughtful ness"
 ''Oh, it isn't father!" the girl de- clared, hastily. q haven't the slight est idea how fathers business is do- ing. I don't have to give his affairs thought"
 No reason why you should," agreed the young man. You couldn't possibly get hold of the details of his large affairs if you tried. It isn't a girls place to keep track of such things. When she is married it's diff ferent. Then a fellow could tell her everything about his business"
 Even the troublesome things" the girl said, understandingly "A worry shared is a worry divided That's what I always think
 "If it isn't something relating to your family that is going wrong, what is it?"
 Well, I suppose you'll think me foolish"
 You're never foolish."
 You don't know me, I'm afraid. You see, there's little fur store that's opened up over on the corner"
 'Yes, I've noticed that, little fur store"
 Well, that's it."
 That's what?"
 "Why, don't you understand? That's what I was worrying about, that store"
 What happened there? Did they lose your furs or spoil them in any way?"
 They haven't had any furs of mine, and father says he doesn't wish me to take mine to him. l don't know what l can do about it"
 'sTake them to somebody else"
 "But you don't seem to get the idea," said the girl, patiently. Its because I want to help the man that I want to let him clean my furs. They were cleaned in the spring. so I don't need anybody else to do the work over again, yet that poor man has just set up in business and don't think he's had a single custom CT yet"
 Did you promise him any custom erso'
 Why, of course not. I never saw him before he opened the store"
 "Then where does your responsible ity come in?"
 ..E,verybody's responsible" said the girl severely. "When new store opens in neighborhoed it is every body's duty to help it get start. This neighborhood has let three stores fail in the last year, and I'm awfuily afraid this one is going to gos too.
 .tI shouldn't think fur store was needed ii this neighborhood, should you?'
 That isn't the point. The point is that the man has got to support his family. He has a wife and three chil- dren, besides an invalid mother or an aunt or something. It's just too pitt fui for words
 ..So you worry yourself into a head ache over it?' said the young man, indignantly T think the man ought to be ashamed of himself. The idea of his worrying you like that!
 Now you're laughing at me-
 sIndeed, I am not said the young man, fervently. "But, really, know of something lots worse that l wish you would go to worrying over.'
 "Oh, dear!" cried the girl. What awful thing is it?"
 "Why, it's-it's me-" confessed the young man. twill you take me to worry about permanently? Will you marry me, Gertrude? ?'-Chicago Daily News.

It is true that nature and woman's

for woman's ills that the world has
ever known. From the roots and
herbs Of the field, Lydia E. Pinkham,
forty years ago, gave to womankind
remedy for their peculiar ills which
has proved more efficacious than any
other combination Of drugs ever COM
pounded, and today Lydia E. Pinkham's
Vegetable Compound is recognized
from coast to coast as the standard
remedy for woman's ills.
In the Pinkham Laboratory at Lynn,

over their own signatures that they have
regained their health by taking Lydia

COOPERATING APPLE TREES
II Boy Goes About Task Carefully He
May Produce Several Varieties
Of Fruit on Old Tree.

On almost every farm there are one
or more apple trees which do not pro-
duce fruit of very good quality. Such
trees offer a fine opportunity for the
boy to try his hand at grating. II ne
goes about it carefully he can soon
have an old tree producing q half
dozen or more fine varieties Of apples.
There are several ways Of grating
fruit trees but the method used on old
trees is known as topgrafting.
The first move Is to select limb
about one to two inches In diameter
and saw it of square. Then get some
smooth, one-year-old twigs Of the va
riety which you desire to grow and
cut them In pieces about six inches
long. These are called scions. Sharp
en- the scions on each side so that
they will be wedge-shaped.
Split the end of the limb, which you
are going to graft, so that the split
extends back about two inches, and
