From Judge.
 An old horse that lay sleeping in his stall was rudely awakened by the hired man, who jabbed him with a pitchfork.
 "Oh, ho, ho!" said the horse, arising stiffly Another days work ahead, l suppose"
 For once," said the hired hand, who was college graduate in disguise, "your supposition is incorrect. You will be per mitted to remain in your stall and rest Your master is dead, and his funeral will. be held today"
 But I am going to the funeral" said the old horse.
 Why, for the love of Mike," gruffly asked the hired man, should you go when you may as well stay here and rest?"
 For 20 years" replied the aged horse. T have been wanting to attend my mas ter's funeral, and now that the oppor- tunity is present, I will not be denied.''
 Occasionally it happens that all those in the funeral train are not there for the purpose of shedding the scalding tear.

How to Beautify a
 Summer Soiled Face

It's really a simple matter to renovate a face soiled by sun, winds or dirt. Ordi- nary mercoliZed wax, used like cold cream, will transform the worst old complexion into one of snowy whiteness and velvety softness It literally peels off the outer veil of surface skin but so gently, gradually, there's no discomfort. The wornout skin comes off. not in catches, but evenly, in tiny particles, leaving no evidence of the treatment. The younger, healthier under skin form ing the new complexion, Is one of capti- vating loveliness. One ounce of merco- lized wax, to be had at any drugstore, is enough to remove any tanned, reddened, pimpled, freckled or blotchy skin. Apply before retiring, washing 1t off mornings.
 Many skins wrinkle easily with every wind that blows, with heat, worry, etc. An excellent wrinkle remover. because 1t tightens the skin and strengthens re- faxed muscles, is a wash lotion made as follows: Powdered saxolite 1 oz., dis solved in witch hazel, 1-2 pt. This gives immediate results.
