WRESTLING WINNIE
BY ELSA BLoDGETT.

She WIS something more than a
bright, pretty girl, the petted and be-
loved postmistress of Alma Station
she was a whistler, proficient, perfect,
never to be forgotten, once heard.
To everybody she was Winnie-the
community had adopted her as daugh-
ter, sister, always friend. and Abe.
Druse, who delivered the outlying
mail, hoped for her as sweetheart.
He had never told her so, but alone
on his arduous route he had but one
vision for the future, little home and
the dearest girl In the world as his
wife.
Winnie had been always whistler.
Even in her old eastern home before
bad luck had driven her and her old
father to seek a new start in life, she
had scandalized the town with her
"hoydenish ways" and merry piping
calls to the birds, the stars and all sur
rounding humanity.
Il just love it out here in the great
splendid Arizona mountains, father"
she had said. 4 can whistle here and
no one to criticize and the echoes down
the old canyon just seem to sing back
to me-"
Winnie was whistling this bright
and beautiful summer morning as she
stood behind, the letter case sorting
the mail. She haC happened across

THIS FISH A GREAT WALKER
IL His Pond Goes Dry He Simply Am
bles Across the Country
to Another.

Droughts have no terrors for the
climbing perch. If the pool or river
where he makes his home becomes
dry, he climbs up the banks and
starts across country to find a wet
place. This ability to travel led to
a belief, once common, that the fish
could climb trees, whence he got his
name-climbing perch.
He walks with the aid of his fms,
virtually wriggling his way along, If
he strikes place grown up with
grass or herbs, he uses his pectoral
fms, which are the ones on either
side, just behind the gills. He hooks
one of these fms around a blsde Of
grass and pulls himself forward
Not much speed. but the climbing
perch usually gets there. AS for his
ability to climb trees, stories have
come from India and the East Indies
to the effect that the fish has been
known to ascend cocoanut palms to
drink the milk from the cocoanut.
Naturalists have little faith in these
stories, however.

STOP EATING MEAT IF
KIDNEYS OR BACK HURT
Take a Glass of Salts to Clean Kid.
neys II Bladder Bothers YOU
Meat Forms Uric Acid.

Eating meat regularly eventually
produces kidney trouble in some form
or other, says well-known authority,
because the uric acid in meat excites
the kidneys, they become overworked;
get sluggish; clog up and cause all
sorts of distress, particularly backache
and misery in the kidney region; rheu-
matte twinges, severe headaches, acid
stomach, constipation, torpid liver,
sleeplessness, bladder and urinary ir-
ritation.
The moment your back hurts or kid
neys aren't acting right, or If bladder
bothers you, get about four ounces Of
Jad Salts from any good pharmacy;
take a tablespoonful in a glass Of
water before breakfast for a few days
and your kidneys will then act fine.
This famous salts is made from the
acid of grapes and lemon Juice, COM
bined with lithia, and has been used
for generations to flush clogged kid
neys and stimulate them to normal
activity; also to neutralize the acids in
the urine so it no longer initiates, thus
ending bladder disorders.
Jad Salts cannot injure anyone;
makes a delightful effervescent lithia-
water drink which millions of men and
women take now and then to keep the
kidneys and urinary organs clean, thus
avoiding serious kidney disease.-Adv.

PRETTY GIRLS DoLLED UP.

Lightly our hands touched-nothing more.
All, but never so touched before!
Touch Of LID, was 1t? Touch of hand?
Either is easy to understand.
Either may be smitten with fire or frost
Never the touch of true love is lost.
Why is II that so many Tomen who
cannot help being fair Of face excite
envy from a certain class Of their
sisters who have not been so ia
vored by cpricious nature? When
the lovely girl appears in public, look
ing as pretty as picture, she is quite
likely to be accused by those whose
hearts are fired by the pangs Of jeal-
ousy of being "dolled up" She
wouldn't be near so stunning looking
If she dressed as plain as other girls.
She'd be a positive fright If she
brushed her curls back. Her pink
and-white complexion doesn't look to
be natures own.
So the group of mothers of plain
daughters whisper to each other as
the pretty maiden passes by. The
sons and brothers of the gossipers
catch these remarks in passing and
the consequence is fair girls repu-
tation is marred. Men fight shy of
her, for II there is anything in this
world the average man has horror
Of It is the "madeup" young woman.
He admires the beauty, but con-
cludes women are the best Judge of
their own sex In this respect. and

ciples.

Deadens Sound of Firing.

A big-gun silencer which the French
are using is so effective that no sound
of firing can be heard over a greater
distance than 100 yards or so. The
silencer is attached to the muzzle Of
the gun. AS the shell leaves the gun
a small shutter springs up and pre-
vents the explosive gases escaping in
the usual way when the gun is fired.
The result is that the sudden fierce
rush of gas passes out through the two
channels with nothing like the rush
that is caused in the ordinary way. 1t
Is impossible to stop the gases es-
Gaping altogether, for the pressure is
so terrific that the gun would be blown
to pieces.

outside.
With a hasty critical glance all
about him the rider, a great giant of a
fellow, wearing his sombrero well
down over his eyes, leaped to the walk,
crossed it swiftly and approached the
little window behind which Winnie
stood. Winnie looked up swiftly. In
an instant she detected that the flow
ing beard the stranger wore was false,
for it had shifted half out of place.
Letter for John Byrd?" spoke the
man, and Winnie's nimble fingers Sc
lected from the BIS letter that had
arrived nearly month previous.

tones, and Winnie started, for care

She started across the room to
where rope leading to the alarm bell
of the village was. The man was too
quick for her. He was a great, power
full fellow. With kick he sent the
inner door open. He grasped Winnie
as though she were an infant, bore her
outside, pressed his rough, burly hand
over her lips to suppress her cutlery
and swung into the saddle, holding her
with one hand before him.

The horse went like meteor. There

opportunity to free her lips. Then

limitations of a shrieking locomotive

AS a matter of fact, the beautiful
girls are queen roses in the rosebud
garden of fair maidens. They do not
have to spend half the time over
their toilets the homely girl does.
Even the most inexpensive clothes
they can wear with regal grace. AS
to their compilations not being their
own, it is most gratifying fact to
be able to state that not one woman
out of fifty has recourse to the pow
per, puff and rouge box for her radi-
ant pink-and-white beauty.
If the need is felt of routing stub
born freckle or two, or bringing color
to cheek too pale, dash of butter
milk on the brown speck, and dash
of cold water ON the face does the
trick.
The lovely girl is a product from
the Makers own hand, and honest ad-
miration should be accorded her for
her legitimate endeavors to preserve,
if she can, the fair picture which is
SO pleasing to gaze upon
Men should not conceive the errone-
Gus notion that beautiful women are
naturally vain. Vanity with them is
the exception instead of the rule. The
pretty girl has her own heartaches as
well as her palmer sisters. She hac
a dread Of the weuld-be lovers who
are attracted to ner because of her
good looks. She knows her charms
will not last for aye, and the man who
would wed because of the brightness
of her eyes and the roses in her
cheeks might be dissatisfied with her
when those had faded. She would be
wooed for her womanly goodness, ten
derness, yet strength of heart, and the
combined qualities which would make
of her noble wife and gentle, loving
mother. Give the sweet girl of whom
the only fault you can find is that
she has too pretty a face a chance

BYRON ALWAYS A READER
Ruskin of Opinion That Fact Was One
of the Secrets of His Early
Power.

Everyone is acquainted with the
huge reading Of Macaulay, Stevenson,
Scott, Southoy and Johnson. Is is so
we'll known that Byron was one of the
greatest readers in British literary his
tory? His early power, according to
Ruskin, "w@s founC cd on a course Of
general reading of the masters in
every walk of literature, such as is,
think, utterly unpal alleled in any 9TH
er young life, whethe- of student or
author. Before he was fifteen he had
read nearly all the standard histories,
a crowd of biographies, all the Brit
ish poets, much philosophy and law,
some theology, and novels by the
thousand During his later years he
kept up this habit, and the acute criti-
cism with which his letters are packed
testifies to his Unsuitable curiosity"
In the index to Rowland Protheros
edition of the Letters and Journals"
there are eight columns under the
heading, Books Read by Byron" the
list stretching from Watson's Apollo
gy for Christianity" to Tully's Nara
tives of a Ten Years Residence at
the Court of Tripoli," which provided
him with a description for Don
Juan" Another unfamiliar fact de-
veloped by Mr.. Cooper is that Words
worth, thought to be more addicted
to nature than to books, read very
widely. In general, it might be main
tanned that it is extremely valuable
for would-be author to range widely
in his earlier years, but that wide
reading in later life is not so i'm
portant, and may actually injure orig
inal invention.

WISE HOSTESS
Won Her Guests to Postum.

Three great coffee drinkers were
my old school friend and her two
daughters.
They were always complaining and
taking medicine. I determined to give
them Postum instead Of coffee when
they visited me, so without saying
anything to them about it, / made a
big pot of Postum the first morning.
Before the meal was half over,
each one passed up her cup to be re-
filled, remarking how fine the coffee
was. The mother asked for a third
cup and inquired as to the brand of
coffee / used. I didn't answer her
a while before that she didn't like Pos.

coffee.
After breakfast I told her that the
coffee she liked so well at breakfast
was pure Postum, and the reason she
liked it was because it was properly
made.

nervous, wretched invalid, to a fine
condition of physical health by leav.

broken father. He left the town, fol-

Winnie was not frightened at her
dilemma. The rough. bruising grasp
of the outlaw warned her that he
would not be gentle in dealing with
her if she continued outcry or struggle.
She laughed in his face, once free of
the town.
What is your idea in robbing the

boldly.

You take your medicine like the real

Sudden Death
Caused by Disease of che Kidneys

The close connection between the
heart and the kidneys is well known
nowadays. When kidneys are diseased.
arterial tension is increased and the
heart functions are attacked. When
the kidneys no longer pour forth waste.
uremic poisoning occurs and the per-
son dies, and the cause is often given
as heart disease, or disease Of brain
or lungs.
1t is a good insurance against such
risk to send 10 cents for a large
trial package OF "Anuric"-the latest
discovery of DR.. Pierce. When you
suffer from backache, frequent or
scanty urine, rheumatic pains III e or
there, or that constant tired, worn-out
feeling, get "Anuric" at the druggist.
It's 81 times more potent than lithia,
