DIARY OF A LITTLE PRINCE

Fenelon Dictated Fable.

The diary of a schoolboy at the close
OF the seventeenth century, and that
boy prince, no less than the due de
Bourgoyne, grandson of Louis XIV,
has recently been found in the French

the great Able Fenelon, who wrote

into the mouths of travellers whenever
they open them. Farther off there are
mines of ham, sausases and peppery

added. "Ah, Monsieur rAbbe, your tale

carefully washed the poor cut foot
and bound it up with some healing
salve.
Johnnie Bear seemed to know that
the hunter was helping him, and he
did not bite or try to get away. He
made funny little noise like baby
when it is hurt. Then the hunter
warmed some milk and put it in bot
tie, which he gave to the bear. John
ME Bear took the bottle in both paws
and held it up to his mouth and drank
the milk very greedily. Then the
hunter fixed bed for him and put
log on the fire to keep the place warm
while he went for a hunting trip.
Johnnie Bear slept all day, and
when the hunter returned at night he
tried to run to meet him, but his poor
foot hurt him so he had to lie down
again. Several weeks passed before
Johnnie Bears foot became quite well,
and he always limped because the trap
had cut so deep.
The little fellow became quite fond
of the hunter and would run to meet
him at night, and when the hunter
brought in his game, Johnnie Bear
would poke it with his nose and paws
as though to tell the hunter that he
had done well.
One day he did not run to meet the
hunter, and when night came he did
not come to his supper. The old
hunter began to look around the cabin,
and he found the footprints of two
bears. One was Johnnie Bears, which
he could tell by the light mark which
the lame foot made, and the other
was of a big bear which had enticed
Johnnie back into the woods. The
hunter felt very lonely and looked
for Johnnie every day for a long time
but after a year had gone by gave
up hopes OF ever seeing Johnnie again.
A long time after this the hunter
was going thro ugh part of the wood
that was filed with bushes and vines,
and in some way his feet became
entangled and he fell, breaking his
arm. His gun fell some distance from
him, and as he went to pick it up he
saw a big mother bear with two cubs
coming toward him. She was growl-
ing and showing her teeth and the
hunter felt that he had little chance
for escape from a fight He wondered
how the fight might come out.
He braced himself against a tree
and waited for the bear to come up.
He held his gun in his left hand, in
tending to use it to beat her off as
long as possible. Just then another
bear came in sight. and the poor hunt
er gave up all hope. But all at once
the first bear stopped and looked at
the other bear, then suddenly walked
toward him. Both stood and looked at
the hunter, who did rot move. Sud
denly the second bear growled strange
ly, and the first bear walked away
with the two cubs Then the second
bear came nearer. and as he walked
the hunter saw that he limped. 1t
was Johnnie Bear, and in some I'M
known language he had sent the other
bear away and saved the hunters life.
He did not come any nearer the hunt
er. but only looked at him as though
to say: You saved my life once,
now / have paid my debt tc you"
Then he limped away in the direction
the other bears had gone. Perhaps
the mother bear was Johnuies wife,
and the cubs were their children.
Who can tell?

DIGGER OF SIDEWAYS

Robert Ridgway is the head sub

Partly because of that the New York
university gave him degree of mas
ter of science in civil engineering at
it's last commencement.
Officially he is chief engineer in
charge of rapid transit construction
and deputy chief engineer under Al
fred Craven. Mr.. Craven and another
deputy concern themselves mostly
with planning the subway systems.
1t is Mr.. Ridgway's business to see
that the plans are carried out. He is
something like the supervision archi-

his hou8s is built honestly. He is
the Colonel Goethals of the New York

WOMEN HUSKED CORN
Get Donation of Wagonload of Grain
For Church by Going Into
Field and Working.

Hill City, Kan, Dec. 6.-Hin City
society ladies took a day off from so
cial duties Friday and laying aside
| their gowns donned overalls and
jumpers, thrusting soft and tender
hands into husking gloves, they
stepped out to the corn field just
east of this city and husked out a
load of corn.
Mr.. A. B. Pipes, better known as
Philatea class of the NJ. E. Sunday
school was intending to raise some
money to be used for the benefit of
the church, jokingly made the propo-
sition to the ladies of the class that
if they would come into his field and
musk out a load of corn he would give
it to them. They took him at his word
and, at the end of a hard days work,
a big load of good corn was all their
own, as well as aching backs, sore
fingers and blistered feet. Not a wo
man, having put her hand to the pillow,
or more accurately speaking, into the
huSking glove, fell out of line or de-
serted the field until the wagon was
well rounded up with ears of yellow
corn.
On Saturday afternoon last the load
of corn was brought to a prominent
corner on Pomeroy avenue and Col.
o. B. Kackley, Hill City's gallant auc-
tioneer. sold it to the highest bidder
for cash in hand. County Attorney
Savers became the owner of the load
of grain paying at the rate of sixty
cents the buShel.
The tireleSS and indefatigable band
of huskers was composed of the fol-
lowing heroines, Miss Anna Smith,
teacher of the class, Mrs. Anna Miller,
Mrs. Nellie Grecian, Miss Nellie Gray,
Miss Byrda Pipes and Mrs. Beulah
Herman, pupils. The ladies declare
that while they greatly enjoyed the
work of undressing the corn they are
not in the market for any more jobs
of a like nature, so Kansas farmers
seeking huskerS are warned to look
elsewhere in their search for helm.

AVOID MEAT
If KIDNEYS AND
BLADDER
BOTHER
Uric Acid in meat excites Kidneys
and irritateS the
Bladder.
Take Salts at first sign of Bladder
weakness or Kidney
Backache.

Kidney and Bladder weakness re-
suit from uric acid, says a noted au-
thority. The kidneys filter this acid
from the blood and pass it on to the
bladder, where it often remains to ir-
ritate and inflame, causing a burning,
scalding sensation, or setting up an ir-
ritation at the neck of the bladder,
obliging you to seek relief two or three
times during the night. Tie sufferer
is in constant dread, tie water passes
sometimes with a scalding sensation
and is very profuse; again there is diff
ficulty in avoiding it.
Bladder weakness, most folks call
it, because they can't control urina-
ton. While it is extremely annoying
and sometimes very painful, this is
really one of the most simple ailments
to overcome. Get about four ounces
of Jad Salts from your pharmacist and
take a Tablespoonful in a glass of
water before breakfast. continue this
for two or three days. This will
neutralize the acids in the urine so it
no longer is a source of irritation to
the bladder and urinary organs which
then act normally again.
Jad Salts is inexpensive, harmless,
and is made from the acid of grapes
and lemon juice. combined with lithia-
and is used by thousands of folks who
are subject to urinary disorders caused
by uric acid irritation. Jad Salts is
splendid for kidneys and causes no bad
effects whatever.
Here you have a pleasant, efferves-
cent Whitewater drink which quickly
relieves bladder trouble.-Advertise-
