Trouble For Creditors.

Even the simplest law transactions
seem to be beyond the comprehension
Of some people. An old farmer went
into groeer's shop short time ago,
ordered soverelgn's worth of goods
and when they were ready for delivery
laid down Ave shilling piece In pay
ment thereof.
The shOpkeeper called out, Here,
this isn't rightT as the customer start
ed to leave.
"Oh, yes. that's all right" replied the
man. 1--WE got permission from the
Judge to pay s shillings In the pound.
A heated discussion revealed that
the man had lately settled an insol-
vency upon this basis and expected to
continue that method indefinitely.
When he was shown his mistake he
was very Indignant and evidently con-
sidered himself much abused man.

In ringlets over her white forehead.
This dainty dame was of noble birth.
enjoyed high social standing and was
considered the belle Of the entire sunny
south Of those days.
The ltaliRn poet fell helplessly and
hopelessly In love with the French
beauty. He wrote in her honor hun
dreds Of sonnets full Of the choicest
tenderness, In which he described his
sweethearts mental and physical
charms, and vowed that never lived
fairer woman than she. Yet she was
obdurate to his suit. though she con
fessed herself pleased with his society.
She was by nature fond Of admiration.
and she felt proud OF the fact that she
had won the devotion Of one Of the
greatest poets Of the age. Wherever
she promenaded, whether In the parks
or streets, she heard the gossips MUIR
muir as she passed, There goes the be-
loved of Petrarch."
Laura was platonically fond Of her
poet, but no amount of poetry could In
duce her to bestow a warmer affection
upon him. She died Of the plague In
13iS. Her death was rude shock to
Petrarch, who still loved her and
mourned her loss for the remaining
twenty SIX years Of his life.-Cincin-

For centuries japanese weavers in
silk have been famed for their exqui-
site tapestry work. or tsuzurenishiki,
as 1t is known In thernative tongue.
Nowhere are more artistic productions
wrought. and along eertain lines the
Japanese workman, with his tiny hand
loom, creates a tapestry which no 9th

Japan has been cultivating the art Of
weaving pictures from silk and gold
IN this manner Is not accurately known,
but some OF the national specimens Of
SILK brocade are very old, and 1t Is al
together likely that the art has been
known since Japan's first acquaintance

TANLAC SECURES
HIGHEST RECORD
Quality Tells the Interesting
Story Of This Extraordinary
Medicine.

No other medicine ever has approach
ed the wonderful record of Tanlac Its
success is a romance of the staid bust
ness world-a success built on merit so
unusual that in Just nine months after
Tanlac had been introduced, one million
bottles had been sold to men and women
who had learned its superior qualities
for the relief of ailments of the stomach,
liver and kidneys and catarrhal af-
fections
Tanlac appeals to the best people ev-
erywhere. These are the men and wo-
men who judge intelligently and I'M
partially, and the result always is a
Tanlac verdict. Upon the endorsement
of many thousands of well known people
rests the great and secure popularity of
Tanlac
Those who take Tanlac always return
for the second bottle because the first
few doses establish its merits. Tanlac
is so efficient and pure, il at once makes
known its value in arrangements of the
stomach, indigestion, upset nerves and
debility.
Tanlac, that has come to be generally
known as the Master Medicine, may
now be obtained in Cloverport, Ky at
Weddings Drug Store, where it is ex-
planned daily to many people

BULCARS. POUND

Latter Offer Stout Resistance,

GRECiAN FRONTIER REACHED

AngIo-French Retreat In a Miserable
Condition, According to the Berlin
War 0ffice-Three Irish Regiments
Mentioned For Bravery French
Withdraw Lines Without Fighting.
Operations On All Fronts.
London, Dec. 13.-The battle be-
tween the Franco-British expedition
airy army in southern Serbia and the
Bulgarians is rapidly approaching itc
end. Fighting of the utmost violence,
which began six days ago, when the
beginning of the allied retreat was
forced by their attacks, is still going
on, the Bulgars attacking and pursu-
ing with undiminished force and the
. allies rendering stubborn rear guard
resistance, but retreating steadily.
Berlin announces that the allied re-
tirement across the Greek frontier al
ready has begun. The Bulgarian war
office, however, admits that the An
glo-French forces are desperately re-
slstlng at every position.
The allied forces have been pushed
by the victorious Bulgarians into the
bend formed by the Serbo-Greek Dor
der line in the southeast. The pur-
suers are reaping the fruits of their
steady gains of the past week, many
prisoners and great quantities of ma
terial falling into their hands. The
British war office admits the loss of
eight big field guns and places the
British losses at "some 1900 men,"
From official French and British re-
ports it is evident that the British line
now runs from the western shore o.
Lake Dorian to the Salonica-Nish rail
way, and is in contact at that point
with the French, whose line extends
from a point just south of Ghevgheli
Testwards to the frontier.
? Berlin described the allied retreat
|as "in a miserable condition" The
extreme violence of the Bulgarian at
tacks and the tenacity of the allies
resistance is illustrated by the Brit
ish war Office report. To the bravery
of three Irish regiments. the Munster
fusileers. the Dublin fusilcers and the
Connaught rangers, this report
ascribes the success of the retirement
of the Tenth British division to its
present line.
The French, who sustained the first
onslaught of the Bulgars in the Var.
car valley little less than week
ago, managed on Dec. 10 and II to
withdraw their lines without fight
Ing" according to the Paris war office
statement. 1t was then that the Bull
garians concentrated their forces with
ell might against the British west of
Lake Dorian and forced them to
( change their position from a vertical
ITO a horizontal line.

Another Old Custom
Time Has Removed

With the passing of time has come the
passing of many old customs; family
traditions are long forgotten
This is particularly true of one Of the
oldest of customs among housewives,
that of daughters following their moth.
ers in the use of foods and housekeeping
methods.
In the olden days il mother did GER
tain thing this way or that way, daugh-
ter did likewise, regardless of newer and
improved methods.
If mother used a particular brand OF
food, daughters was blinded to better
kinds merely because mother had used
the same brand for years
But now both mothers and daughters
have changed their methods and investi'
gate and compare, not by price alone,
but by acturl results obtained.
The old order is changing. The
candle has given way to the electric
light; the old fashioned fireplace &c
scientific heating methods Millions OF
housewives have changed their brands
of coffee, tea, extracts, baking powder
AMI other foods. Calumet Baking Pow
der is one of the most popular brands on
the market today because of the uni
formly good baking results obtained by
those who use it
