COnQuering tOur-year.Old brute that
for two years had detied the pick Of
Won Tempsky's cowboys. And must
tell of one other thing. 1t was down
in Kona-or up, rather, for the Kona
thousand feet elevation. We were on
the lanai of Doctor Goodhue's bunga-
low. j was talking with Dottie Fair
child when it happened. A big cent?
pede-it was seven inches, for we
measured it afterward-fell from the
.rafters overhead squarely into her
couture. I confess, the hideousness
Of 1t paralyzed me. l couldn't move.
My mind refused to work. There.
within two feet of me, the ugly ven
omous thing was writhing In her hair.
1t threatened at any moment to fall
down upon her exposed shoulders
we had just come out from dinner.
What is it," she asked, starting to
raise her hand to her head.
DON'T" cried. DON'T" ,
"But what Is 1t ?" she insisted, grow
ing frightened by the fright she read
in my eyes and on my stammering
lips. ,.tSHEe.
My exclamation attracted Kersdale's
attention. He glanced our way care
lessly, but in that glance took in, ev-
erything. He came over to US, but
without haste.
Z. 5"Please don't move. Dottie," he said
quietly. h.. 49,, ..-. III
He never hesitated, nor did he hurry
and make a bungle oft.
Allow me-" he said. O..
Is. And with one hand he caught her
scarf and drew it tightly around her
shoulders so that the centipede could
not fall inside her bodice. With the
other hand-the right-he reached
into her hair, caught the repulsive
abomination as near as he was able

MANAGER .McGraw Thinking.

Manager John McGraw does not say
much about his team for pext year,
but is no doubt doing considerable
thinking. That McGraw plans on
some changes is we'll known. W hat
these changes are he is keeping to

that he will have large sized propo-

WHAT HOUSEWIFE THINKS
One Woman Gives Newspaper Some
Unpleasant Facts

10 the Editor: You show a great
deal Of sympathy with the farmer In
your editorial on the eight-hour law,
but have you thought of what will hap
pen to the poor housekeeper whose
health is not strong enough to let her
do her own work and whose purse is
not fat enough to let her keep more
than one domestic? The proposed
law says it shall be unlawful for any
person to permit any one in her en-.
ploy' to work more than eight hours
during any day of twenty-four hours
or more than forty-eight hours in q
seven-day week.
There Is no exception to this except
in unavoidable and necessary farm
labor "in cases Of extraordinary emer.
gency" in industries. This would
mean that would either have to get
breakfast or dinner for the family or
else have the household help which I
cannot afford. AS we have to have
breakfast ON the table at 1880 a. m,
and cannot have dinner until $50 D.
m, that would make day Of eleven
hours, without counting the time be-
fore or after the first and last meal.
An answer may be made that the
domestic may be released from all
work between the close Of the lunch
hour and beginning Of the dinner hour,
say 1 to o'clock. but even at that
any housekeeper knows that 1t would
mean accumulated labor to be done
by some one else.-Mrs. B. NJ. Law

There's a certain little girl, known
to the editor of The Day Book, who
does not agree with Mrs. Charlotte
Perkins Gilman, that doll babies
should be barred from the nursery.
This little girl, when interviewed,
gave some excellent reasons in favor
Of dolls. Here is the conversation be-
tween her-she is half past four-and
a reporter:
"a lady who knows very much and
is very wise doesn't like to have little
girls play with dollies- what do
you think of that?" the reporter
asked.
81 think" she said, chat it isn't
very nice to say that about little dol
les"
But the lady says that you should
all little girls should play with
hoops and balls and tops and run
about"

lies than with tops and hoops. Those
are TOT boys 10 play WIFI. DOileS are |

pretended that the doctor came and
gave her parrygorack, and next |
morning she was well as anything!"

MOTHER LOOK AT
CH|LDS TONGUE
If cross, feverish, constipated,
give "CaIifornia Syrup
of FiqS"

A laxative today saves a sick child
tomorrow. Children simply will not
take the time from play to empty their
bowels, which become clogged up with
waste, liver gets sluggish; stomach
sour. .[s
Look at the tongue, mother! If coat
ed, or your child is listless, cross, few
erish, breath bad, restless, doesn't eat
heartily, full Of cold or has sore throat
or any other children's ailment, give a
teaspoorful Of California Syrup Of
Figs" then don't worry, because it is
perfectly harmless, and in a few hours
all this constipation poison, sour bile
and %fermenting waste will gently
move out of the bowels, and you have
a we'll, playful child again. A thor
ough inside cleansing" is oftimes all
that is necessary, 1t should be the
first treatment given in any sickness.
Beware Of counterfeit fig syrups.
Ask at the store for a 5O-cent bottle of
California Syrup Of Figs" which has
full directions fo- babies, children Of
all ages and for grown-ups plainly
printed on the bottle ADV.

Good Bowels Are
An Aid to- Growth
Growing Children Need a Mid
Ldsotfve to Foster Regular
Bowel Movement.

As a child grows older It requires
more and personal attention
from the mother, and as the func-
lions Of the bowels are Of the utmost
Importance to health, great attention
should be paid to them.
Diet Is of great Importance, and the
mother should watch the effect Of Ger.
tain foods. A food will constipate one
and not another, and SO we have a
healthy food like eggs causing bilious
ness to thousands, and a wholesome
fruit like bananas constituting many.
1t is also to be considered that the
child is growing, and great changes
are taking place in the young man or
young woman. The system has not yet
settled itself to it's later routine.
A very valuable remedy at this
stage, and one which every growing
boy and girl should be given often or
occasionally, according to the indiyid-
ual circumstances, is DR.. Caldwelrs
Syrup Pepsin. This is a laxative and
tonic combined, 80 mild that 1t Is
given to little babies, and yet equally
effective In the most robust constitu-
ton. At the first sign Of a tendency
to constipation give a small dose Of
Syrup Pepsin at night on retiring, and
prompt action will follow In the morn
ing. It not only acts or the stomach
and bowels but its tonic properties
build up and strengthen the system
generally, which is an opinion shared
by Mr.. John Dey Of Bloomfield, N. J..
He has a large family and at ages
where the growth and development
