he married Jane. in spite Of Jim Bow

given him q mustache. As for me and
Cy Brown, we was just ignorant old
country people who used strange
words, and I'd told him the meaning Of

Jim was so mad when he heard
about it that he got copy, and when
he'd read It he wouldn't speak to
Jane. It seems that the hero had
used TO kiss Jane behind the barn.
and Jim thought Mr.. Polhemus had
done it. It took Jane the best part Of
q week to persuade Jim that she
hadn't kissed Mr.. Polhemus, and rs

Well, miss, nobody let on he knew,
and meanwhile Jim and Cy Brown
fixed up their plans. They was both
feeling pretty sore about it, and they
arranged that Jane was somehow to
get Mr.. Polhemus into the ruined mill
and Jim was to come along and give
him what was coming to him.

ACTING THE STORY

that fact.

tiful to the esthetic eye.
Prettiness is Of the face and obvi.
Gus, but beauty Is of the soul and,
therefore. more subtle. Some very
crudely colored calendars will appeal
to many as being beautiful. though to
the cultured eye they are far from

form.
There have been many attempts to
define beauty. yet it cannot be said
that any definition has thrown much
light upon the subject. 1t manifests
itself In such an infinite variety of
forms. though there is general agree
ment that Its highest expression is In
the female form divine. Even here the
diversity Is so extensive that the peo-
pies Of no two races, let alone nations,
have ever agreed upon the same type.

CARE OF THE EYES.
Health as Well as Beauty Demands
That Eyes Get Attention.

The woman who takes care of her
self should givesas much attention to
her eyes as she does to her skin or to
her hair, In the first place after driv-
ing or being in the dust of the city
or country she should wash or battle
her eyes with tipid water. This re-
moves the irritating dust or small
PARTICLES. After reading or before
going to bed she should battle the
eyes with salt water or tepid water
to which is added pinch of salt, and
using an eye cup, will be surprised
at the difference in the sparkle of
the eyes, If inflamed they should be
bathed several times day. The dull,
sunken eyes, the hollow circles and
the sallow complexion of many wO-
men is due, however, to the COM
plants and diseases peculiar to wo-
men. The best thing know for this
is DR.. Pierce's Fayorite Prescription,
because it is a temperance tonic, be-
ing made of roots and herbs with
pure glycerine. It establishes sregul-
arity, heals inflammation and ban
ishes pain. DR.. Pierce publishes the
ingredients on the wrapper so 1t is
not secret and have seen many
women cured by it and not only that,
but the dull sunken eyes, the -sunken
cheeks and bust, have taken on "a
sparkle and healthful appearance.
Thousands of women have testified to
having been cured of womanly dis
eases by this Prescription. It speedily
causes all womanly troubles to dis.
