 Clifford's Inn, by Temple Bar, which was recently sold at auction in Lon. don, has already undergone a good deal of reconstruction, though this has not so far materially damaged the las. of the c]oistral retreats behind the frontage Of Fleet street.

BAD COLD? TAKE CASCARETS FOR
 BOWELS TONIGHT
No Headache, constipation, bad cold
 CT SORT stomach by morning.

Get a 10-cent box.
 Sick headache, biliousness, coated tongue, head and nose clogged up with a cold-always trace this to tor pid liver; delayed, fermenting, food in the bowels or sour, gassy stomach.
 Poisonous matter clogged in the intestines, instead of being cast out of the system in re-absorbed into the blccd. When this poison reaches the delicate brain tissue it causes con- gestion and that dull. throbbing. sick ening headache.
 CasCare,s immediately cleanse the stomach, remove the sour, undigcsted fcod and foul gases, take the excess bile from the liver and carry out all the constipated waste matter and poisons in the bowels.
 A Cascaret tonight will surely straighten you out by morning. They work while you sleep-a 10-cent box from your druggist means your head clear, stomach sweet and your liver and bowels regular for months.

 "It was in the month of May when l was bidden 70 the flower ball.
 When I arrived I was met at the gate by tall, stately, young Mr. Sun Flower, who was to usher the guests to their prospective rooms. He was a gallant young fellow and had a smiling, round face. At the bottom of the stairs. Mr. Sun Flower intro duced me to shy little miss named Violet She was dressed in a rich, tifully with her yellow hair. She told ms that some of the guests had not arrived yet, but that she would in- troduced me to those that were in the ball room.
 Some of the first that 1 met were Misses Tulip, Glover and Apple Blos- som. They were teasing Mr. SoXcomb by telling him they thought he would be better looking if he would dye his hair another color and not hold hi< neck so stiff. Of course he was going to take their advice, because he thought the young ladies knew best.
 Miss ForgetMe-Not had filled her last dance with young Dandelion and was imploring him not to forget her while he was away at battle. Her beautiful blue eyes followed him, as he left the room.
 Miss Poppy said she had been ou in the sun too long and it made her feel little droopy, and for that reason she did not dance.
 JCuu LlIdC anu | lCl CilSC ouoJ were the bells of the ball, until Miss La France Rose came blushlng and blooming into the room. Sine danced as gracefully as a butterfly. She was chosen, Belle of the Ball. and looked very sad indeed, when the tired orchestra warbled the last notes of Home Sweet Home."

Comparative Goodness.

Better is a sweet, comforting little word. I think-a modest, unassuming little word that means great deal more than she seems to express. She stands in line with her two sisters, Good and Best. l remember that in grammar school it was hard for me to learn that better came after good. slWays wanted to say goCder and goodest. After I got used to the com. parison, however, it was moderately easy for me, and I always liked the middle term more than the rest. It is so easy and no more than you should be to be SC od, and it Is so hard. and somehow so snobbish. to be best Better seems cohlmendable and easy to reach and rather satisfactory-Th Christian Herald.

THE TWILIGHT SLEEP"
 TOPIC OF SURGEONS
Heated Discussions Expected at American Congress of Surgeons
 at Buffalo.

Buffalo. x. Y., Oct. 16.-One of tiie interesting subjects which will be generally discussed before the Amer ican Congress of Obstetricians snc Gynaccologists, which opened here today, will be Twilight Sleep" A paper has been prepared and will be read by a prominent young German physician. who for two years has been connected with the Freibura Ifrauenklinik. He has come to the United States to teach American phy- sicians the technique of the work which, he declares is void of any danger
 This method of bearing children ha: attracted great deal of attention and much adverse criticism recently A few American physicians have used the treatment, and among these the general opinion seems to be that the method is a complete success. A trial was given Twilight Sleep" at tine Jewish Maternity hospital, of New York City, and Irwin Arnow, super intendent, said they had treated 112 cases in three months, with not a single loss of life of either mother CT child. and in each case there was no recollection of pain of the child bir.h.
 Many doctors are skeptical and it is expected that this congress will have some heated sessions on this question.
