Mournsd His Seven Cents.

There is a story running about
Cleveland of a man who lost his peck
etbook containing over a thousand
dollars When he discovered his loss
he hurried back to the place where he
had stood while removing a bill from
the wallet, thinking he might have
dropped it there. And as he rounded
the corner and came in sight of the
spot he saw a newsboy stoop over and
lift the heavy purse out of the gutter
That's mine," he cried. running
up, that's minel Look at the mi
tials, boy-they're stamped in the
leather. X. Y. 2. Dye find them
there?"
Guess it's yours all right" said
the boy, handing it over.
The man gave the boy a dime, and
departed. and as he went he went
muttering: "A street car ticket would
have done just as well, just as we'll!
He hadn't looked in it-didn't know
what was in it! Out seven cents! Out
seven cents!"

Dangers of Draft.

Drafts feel best when we are hot
and prespiring. just when they are
most dangerous and the result is
Neuralgia, Stiff Neck, Sore Muscles
or sometimes an attack of Rheuma-
tism. In such cases apply Sloan's
Liniment. 1t stimulates circulation
to the sore and painful part. The
blood flows freely and in short time
the stiffness and pain leaves. Those
suffering from Neuralgia or Neural
gic Headache will find one or two
applications of Sloan's Liniment will
give grateful relief. The agonizing
pain gives way to a tingling sensa-
tion of comfort and warmth and
quiet rest aud sleep is possiblel

Evolution Of an Aristocrat.

When Hanch Glover was a farm
hand, relates the Howard Courant, he
ran away and married his employers
daughter, and he had never worn a
linen collar or a nightgown, and his
wife had to nag at him to get him TO
wash his feet every Saturday night.
When he moved to town and built his
new house she had the fight OF her
life to get him to have a bathtub and
hot water equipment built in. But she
won out, and now Hanch doesn't see
how he ever got along without it. In
fact, he monopolizes the bathroom and
calls it his room, doing all his dress
ing and undressing in 1t, and his wife
can't get inside the door until after
he is through or leaves the house. The
other morning when he found long
hairs in his brush and some hairpins
lying on the shelf he s1orted and
jawed around till he made himself
very unpleasant, and now he is plan
ming TO have a bathroom put in which
shall be his exclusively and where his
wife will not be allowed TO butt in and
clutter 1t up with her powder puffs
and tooth brushes and funny looking
fixins. Hanch Glover has changed
greatly since 1sSl.-Kansas City Star

Occupation for Tots.

Children are often restless because
no occupation has been provided for
them. And IL little thought is taken
It is sometimes easy to do this, for
when children are quiet any house
hold gets on much better.
When the children must stay in
the house, a never-failing source Of
amusement is store" What child
has not delighted in weighing out
-four and sugar or giving imaginary
or real samples OF dress stufIs? And
money may be of paper or pins. The
childish imagination will bridge any
gaps. One mother procured large
wooden packing box for her children
and they thought 1t an ideal store"
Furthermore, she saved all the gro
Gerry boxes, labeled tins-in fact, ev-
erything which would swell a grocery
stock on a packing box scale.

 feeling weli this morning: NanF

feeling well. this morning, Na1r he asked d,anxiously. "1}'e l Nan watched him up the h6ll. Then she lay down on the lounge and had her, cry out. Noon came. lShe, made some tea and drank it. 1 It braced her up wonderfully In- ldeed, she felt. almost feverish. It came to her that she would not en- dure it a moment longer. Jim was there, and he was her husband. She would go there too.
 After noon breeze sprang up which relieved the hot day. Nan dressed carefully in white lawn with pinkishi spots; a dress her hus- band admired. She loosened her hair about her face and let it drop a little lower toward the nape of her neck.
 She felt that she was girding her self for battle, and she meant to have no weak spots in her armor. Then she locked the door, called Shep to follow her and, raising her umbrella above her bare head, set forth.
 The walk put heart into her. She felt ready for anything as she cross- ed the last field before the Holman house.
 Mrs. Holman greeted her with kiss.
 "Why, Nan, how do you do? Pm right glad to see you. 1 suppose you know Molly McClure's here? Jim told you? Yes. We'll, sit right down in this chair. We'll stay on the veranda, for it's cooler than in the house."
 She stepped to the door. ''Mollyl" she called.
 "She'll be down in a minute. She's most through dressing," she said, coming back to Nan. "How nice you look in that dress! You're one of the few women l ever knew who could wear pink and keep their complexion in it."
 That did Nan good. She was cool and her heart steadied down when a great rustling of skirts on the stairs announced Mrs. Mcclure. Nan rose to meet her.
 "Why, Nan Farrell-Nan Lan- caster, I should say!" Molly cried, embracing her ecstatically. "1 am perfectly delighted to see you!"
 She held Nan off and looked at her. And Nan, looked at Molly. In that moment her doubts, her long fear, her jealousy, blew away like a pinch of thistledown in a strong breeze. She found herself sitting in her chair again with Molly be- side her talking volubly. It was all over.
 "You haven't changed a bit, Man," Molly was saying. q asked Jim if you had yesterday, and he wouldn't say. He said l should judge for myself. What have you done to keep your complexion like that, and your figure ?"
 Nan laughed. She could laugh now. Molly's young glory had faded sadly. Her wonderful hair was thiu and dull, her cheeks coarse; her teeth had unmistakably been re. placed; her double chin rested on her full bosom, and she wheezed as she talked.
 Presently Jim came striding up with MT. Holman. From afar he waved his hand toward his wife.
 "Just as much in love with you as ever, isn't he?" Molly said, see ing him. She disposed her hand some skirt carefully, so as best to display it's cut and finish. But Nan did not notice. She was think ing of Jim. Molly had been an il- fusion, and the illusion was dis pelled.

old Mosque leasnds.

The great Begova mosque in Se- rajevo is the largest mosque in Eu- rope after those of Constantinople and Selim's mosque in Adrianople. In it's courtyard stands an old stone, across the top of which there is groove precisely the length of Turkish ell. Tradition says that a pasha placed it there to checkmate the local merchants habitual use of false measures in defiance of the express commandment of the Ko- ran.
 But another of Serajevo's hun dred mosques has @ much better legend. Before this may be seen the tombs of the seven holy dervishes who were beheaded 200 years ago for a great theft. After the de- ,apitation each body tucked its head under its arm and walked into the mosque. So those dervishes are worshiped as saints to this day.

Something In the Eye.

So when you get something in your eye do the best you can to suppress the instinct to rub the eye. Then pull the lower lid up and the upper lid out and the particle in the eye will be dislodgod' by the tears which flow across the eyeball in a torrent. It will be washed out and will appear in the corner of the eye. If any chemical is thrown into the eye do not wait to. look in a book for an antidote. The best thing;is plain water, or,if you have time and it is handy use g plain salt solution, 2 teaspoonful in a pint of water, either hot or cold. This will wash it out quicker than you can wait to .neutralize it in some other way.--Benton IN. Col yer, M..D., in Good Health.
