Col Jim Slice sat in his swivel chair
and looked at Miss Elizabeth Ray and
pulled his dropping mustache.
Colonel Slice was the last man in the
world whom one would have associated
with a large city store. A little over
fifty, perhaps, with a splendid figure
and military bearing, there was some
thing Shivalrous about the man in
spite OF mis- reputation. If there can be
grades of fast livers, the colonel un'
doubtedly belonged to the highest
grade. In so homes he was regarded
as a man of 1unblemished reputation;
and those who knew what his life was
somehow eXonerated him.
The colonel had fallen heir to the
store on his brothers death, and he
had not known what to do with it.
His first act was to call all the en-
ployees together and raise their sala-
ries. Then he promoted all the pretty
girl clerks. The colonels old-fashioned
idea was that the prettier a girl was
and every girl was pretty if she had
health and a sweet temperate less
right she had to labor for a pittance.
Miss Ray, being the prettiest and most
innocent of the lot, was appointed the
Golonel's private secretary.
That was as far as the colonel got
before the departmental managers in
terfered and told him, with firm polite
ness, that he would have to leave the
charge of affairs to them unless he
wished to. drive the store into bank.
ruptcy.
The colonel made them agree that
the revised salary schedule should
stand, and after that he came down to
the store for about two hours a day
and pretended to answer letters
1t is doubtful whether he would have
come more than twice a week but for
Miss Ray. She was about twenty,
and she came from a little town in

DOGS HELPED EACH OTHER
Case of Mutual Understanding Seems
to Argue for Existence of
Intellect.

A horse trough in one of the suburbs
of Sydney was the scene of funny in
cident the other afternoon Two dogs,
water spaniels, were trotting along,
when they came to this place, and
stopped for a drink. They were both
thirsty, but neither was tall enough
to reach the trough; and they talked
the matter over, as dogs will, and won
dered why they had not been treated
with as much consideration as horses.
Presently they solved the problem.
One of them ranged himself under the
! edge of the trough and the other, rest
ing his forefeet upon his companions
back, was able to reach into the pool
and Stake his thirst When he had fin
iished he hoped down, seemed to say
that the water was good, and then In
turn ranged himself under the edge of
the trough, and the other reached up
for the drink he had earned. When he
was satisfied, they trotted away to-
gether, as well contented as any man
lcould be who had met a problem and
tvanquished it.-Dawn.

keepinq Wine Properly.

To keep wine properly, the liquid
air that is compressed here by cork
ing the bottle is very injurious. Air
can be removed by taking small cop
per tube about the size of a quill and
filling it so as to make a semi-tube,
then fixing thumb ring at the top and
sharpening the bottom end. Place the
tube in the neck with the fiat side
against the glass, and the cork is
driven in so that the air comes off
through the tube When corked, the
tube is withdrawn and no air is left in
the bottle.

was seated in his Invalid chair one
sunny afternoon when he called his
sister to his side.
IT am getting nearly well enough to
move on again, Bertha" he said. Il
want you to call in the lawyer tomor-
row. / did quite well out West and
brought tidy little fortune home with
me. I want to settle 1t on you. for /
may not return again"
That was his determination. The
old tugging had come at his heart
when he realized that he was COM
paratively near to Evelyn When des-
perately i'll he had thought of sending
for her, but had procrastinated the or
deal. Now, however, he said:
And mail this letter, Bertha" and it
was directed to Evelyn.
He had asked her to come and see
him and bring her husband with her.
Il am going away never to return" he
wrote. Il want to make Amory a little
present out of the fortune l have made
and don't know what to do with. And
l want your parting benison"-the
kissi
The lights were low at eventide two
days later when the invalid heard a
rustic at the front doorway and voice
that thrilled him in converse with his
sister 1t was Evelyn.
Bertrand" and welcome form
came into the room ooh, why did you
not send for me before during all your
lonely illness?"
"This moment compensates for al"
murmured Bertram unsteadily.
And now l am here" continued
Evelyn, you will not send me away,
will you?"
But your husband, Amory?"
did you not hear? He died year
ago." explained Evelyn in subdued
tone. "Bertram, / was his true wife,
and l told him ALL He died blessing
me as his faithful, devoted companion
and you as the truest friend heaven
ever gave to man.
One hand rested caressingly across
the fevered brow. The other held his
hand and the contact thrilled him.
Father is dead" she said mourn
fully. There were no children. Often
/ have wondered" her voice died
down and her head sank low.
Wondered what?" he asked softly
eff you would ever come back-if-
if"
81 would claim that dear kiss?" he
supplemented.
"Yes"-her voice was the merest
whisper now.
Its memory has made my life sweet
and beautiful" he said thrillingly.
Dear Amory! we both loved him, we
both were true to him. Yes" added
Bertram clearly, "you can stay, you
must stay, for I cannot live without
you"
"And the kiss?" her shy face was
half averted, but every pulse was fiut-
tering.
II wish 1t now" he said.

Beginning of Antwerp.

Antwerp it is said, takes its name
from a castle which in Frankish times
marked the site of the city. This cas-
tie was built to protect the entrance
of the Scheldt, and to prevent foreign
traders introducing goods into the
country without paying toll to the
sovereign lord. The penalty for theft

case, the severed members were

Her fair soul in her eyes, Evelyn
Snow stood before the man who at the
risk of his life had saved her brother
from a terrible death in a runaway.
She was trembling all over. In her
eyes was the warm ardor of more than
gratitude, and Bertram Morse read
what it was and his heart seemed
bursting
Evelyn swayed toward him. Closer
came the cherry lips, bent on bestow-
ing upon him the kiss of utter thank
fitness, the reward for his courage
and manliness.

nail can be relieved, says nurse, By
treating with a mixture composed of
one ounce chloride of zinc and one
drop each of muriatic and nitric acid );
mix them thoroughly and apply one
drop daily to the afflicted toe.
The suffering caused by chilblains
is often relieved by painting them
with collodion, with equal parts of oil
of turpentine and ichthyol, applied
with a camel's-hair brush.
When the feet are swollen and con-
gested from rheumatism or other
causes, try bandaging them. Begin at
the toes, drawing as tight as may be
borne until the heel is passed. This
will usually relieve the congested
condition.

Serious Misuse of Government

Washington, D. c., Jan. IL
The attention of the Bureau of
Animal Industry of the United
States Department of Agricul-
ture has been called to the fact
that the makers of a medicine
sold as a hog-cholera remedy are
misusing Government figures
of the results obtained by Fed
eral agents by the use of anti
hog-cholera serum, as evidence
of the efficacy of their medicine.

which there are statements that
this medicine has resulted in
saving many hogs from hog
cholera in Petite County, Mis-
souri,, Montgomery County, In
diana, and Dallas County, Iowa.
The figures given to indicate the
results are exactly those report
ed to the Department by it's
agents as showing the use and
effect of antihog-cholera serum
in sick herds.
For example, the Government
figures on the use of serum
which are misused in this way
by the medicine concern, are as
follows:
Pettis County, Mo,-Hogs in
infected herds treated 1904;
hogs lost 1,038.
Montgomery County, Ind
Number of sick hogs in infected
herds treated 1862; hogs lost
1874.
Dallas County, Iowa-Number
of sick hogs in infected herds
treated, 5, 6S6 hogs lost, 1898.
1t is scarcely possible that any
remedy could have been used on
identically the same number of
hogs and with exactly the same
results as the antihog-cholera
serum. On this point the in
spector in charge in Pettis Coun-
ty, Missouri, states: GAS far as
we are able to ascertain none of
this remedy has been used in
Pettis County"
Farmers and others, therefore,
are warned not to confuse this
remedy with the antihog-chol-
era serum which is the one
method of treatment used by the
Federal Department of Agricul-
ture.
