THIMsLEs FOR BACHELORS.
Men Who Buy Them Have the INCEST
Tapering Fingers imaginable.

"One phase of the notions department
business that would strike a casual OBJ
server as peculiar is the number of men
who buy thimbles," said the girl behind

thimble to man / was almost conyused
with curiosity, and he was in the same
condition with bashfulness. He tried to
make me think at first that he was buy
ing the thimble for his sister. but he
worried so over the size that 1 suspect
ed there was something back of his anx-
iety. At last / said.
"Can't you give me some idea of the
size of your sisters finger? Is it as
large as mine?' and L held up the mid
die finger of my right hand for inspec-
ton.
80, yes, said he, 1T is larger than
that-much larger. 1t is almost as large
as mine
And then I laughed. and presently he
laughed and told me all about it.
1.-The fact is. he said. I have no SIS
ter I'm roughing it in bachelor quar-
ters and l have to do so much mending
and sewing on buttons and the like that
I find thimble indispensable. l suppose
my ability in that line is nothing to be
ashamed of, but somehow / rather
shrank from letting on that l was buy
ing a thmble for myself. l thought it
would make me seem effeminate'
But that happened two or three
years ago." the birl added. Nowadays
they march right up and buy needles and
thread and darning cotton and even
hand sewing machines without tremor
just as women buy their own rifles and
rowhoats and other sporting goods.
Most of the men who buy thimbles
have the incest tapering fingers imagi-
nable. l suppose most of them work in
offices or stores and don't do anything
to soil their hands. They are very par
ticular about the fit of their thimbles
They always want them as tight as bees

enough to permit of circulation. but the

Rain InterfereS
WithPatriots' Day
Pleasures in City

Rain was responsible for spelling to a
great extent the pleasure which had been
anticipated in the observance of Patriots
day, at least so far as outdoor sports
were concerned, by many people in Au-
gusta and vicinity. Almost everyone had
planned to enjoy the day in one way or
another, either by going to the lake or
out of town to visit relatives or friends,
or to the ball game which was to have
been played on the Reuel Williams field,
but the rain stepped in and spoiled it all,
or the most of it. Some people who
don't allow a rainstorm to spoil their fun
carried out their original plans, but on
the other hand there were lot of people
for whom the rain spoiled the pleasure
of the day. There is no discounting the
fact that the rain did whole lot of
good, but that could hardly offset the
disappointment that it caused.
1t had been hoped that the thunder
shower of Sunday night would be follow
ed Monday by clearing weather, but
when Monday morning came the rain
was still falling and continued to fall
during the day, not heavy rain but
enough to spoil everything of the ma
ture of outdoor pleasure. With the ex-
ception of few places all of the stores
and manufacturing establishments were
closed for the day, and about the only
places of amusement which We're avail
able were the picture theatres, and these
were well patronized Everything con-
sidered, the observance of the day was
something of disappointment. But
cheer up, the Fourth of July is coming.

Loss of Appetite
Most Successfully Treated by Taking
Hoods Sarsaparilla.

Loss of appetite is accompanied by
loss of vitality, which is serious.
1t is common in the spring because
at this time the blood is impure and
impoverished and fails to give the di-
gestive organs what is absolutely
necessary for the proper performance
of their functions.
Hoods Sarsaparilla, the old reliable
all-the-year- round medicine, is espe-
cially useful in the spring. Get
it from your druggist. BY purifying
and enriching the blood and giving
vitality, vigor and tone, it is wonder
fully successful in the treatment OF
loss of appetite and the other ailments
that are so prevalent at this time. II
is not simply spring medicine-it is
much more than that-but it Is the
best spring medicine.
Hoods Sarsaparilla makes the rich
red blood that the stomach and other
digestive organs need. Get it today
