"a reformatory, where class was un-
dergoing instruction. A young man
asked permission to answer the ques-

policy" said he, because Of case
where l knew it to work that way.
See? There was two young fellows in
New York, and they was crooked. See?
And they didn't succeed. They went
to Philadelphia, and they turned over
a new leaf and agreed to be square and
honest. They opened a clothing store.
See? And they prospered. They got
everybody's confidence, and they bor-
rowed 100000 to enlarge their bust
ness, and then they failed and got
away with every cent Of the money,
which they never could have done If
they hadn't been honest See?"

MANY QUALITIES
OF TANLAC TOLD

Made of Roots, Banks, Herbs
and Flowers.

The National Tonic, Tanlac, is de-
signed to overcome ailments of the
stomach, kidneys and liver and to act
on catarrhal affections. 1t has, OF

faulty digestion, are nervous and ir-
ritable because Of their illness, lack
energy for their work, suffer from
backache, headache and unsound
sleep, become melancholy over slight
matters, have a poor memory, irreg-
ular blood circulation, dizziness and
the common ailments Of the stomach,
liver and kidneys, many of which are
caused by neglect of catarrhal con-
ditions, will find Tanlac just the ton
ic, tissue builder and appetizer, they
need.
Tanlac, often is referred to as
as pure as the fleecy clouds and
this literally is true.
1t is made of herbs, roots, barks,
and flowers that are gathered, many
of them in the far corners of the
world.
Being entirely Of vegetable in
gradients, Tanlac has none of the
much-feared mineral faint.
1t is compounded. and bottled un-
der the most sanitary conditions and
retains it's uniform purity and quail
ity always.
Tanlac is being specially introduc-
ed In Leon at Bell & Painters.

Cutting Teeth.

Cutting teeth is pastime which
babies indulge in, in order to prevent
their parents from OverSleeping.
The average baby is born with stall
room for several teeth, no two of
which sprout at the same time. On
the contrary, they drift into place one
by one, instead of coming up in SER
led ranks, like the asparagus or the
long wasted radish. We have some
bright men in the medical profession
in this country, but they have never
been able to correct this evil, which
teaches us that our schools of medi-
cine could be abolished without set
ting back the dial of progress more
than two inches and half.
When baby begins to cut his first
teeth he will inform everybody of the
fact who is not stone deaf in both ear
lobes. There is something about the
loud, determined accents and annoy
ed facial expression of baby which
is cutting teeth that prevents any
body in the same room from sleeping
in a contented and melodious man
ner. No one who has ever had three
or four innocent little babies in rapid
succession will ever confuse the tone
of voice used by them during the
teething period with the playful COO
which succeeds full meal.
AS an experienced and heavily
loaded father, we would also like to
ask why it is that babies never cut
many teeth in the same day 1t is a
narrowing sight to note the change
which comes over sweet infant who
has not uttered cross word all day,
Just as soon as the parents settle
down for the night in curl papers and
other regalia. Some of our most
graceful and fluent poetry has been
woven about the eventide, but none
of it has been written by mothers
who have not seen a square yard OF
un broken sleep for a week.-Howard
Ram.

Iafferson's Letter.

A few lines written by Jefferson to a
friend in foreign country ruined the
warm friendship which had existed be-
tween him and Washington. The let
ter is known historically as "Jefferson's
letter."
Jefferson sent letter to Philip MAJ
zei, an italian, in April, 1896. Mazzei
published an italian translation of it
In Florence the next year. It was re-
translated into French and published
in French newspapers, from which it
found its way into the British papers
and to America.
In this letter Jefferson opposed the
Jay treaty and commented freely
against Washington and his admins
tration as Anglican, monarchical and
aristocratic. This letter destroyed
Washington's faith in Jefferson.

POTASH AND
PERLMUITER

Potash and Perlmutter," a comedy
woven about the characters and Incl
dents made famous in the Saturday
Evening Post stories by Montague
Glass, which comes to the Daily Thea
ire tonight direct from its second
year at the Cohan Theatre, New York,
has caused more hearty, healthy
laughter than any other play in the
history of the stage. This simple,
homely, humorous tale of the cloak
trade firm whose partners quarrel
violently over details but would give
their lives for each other is wonder
fully human. The lines scintillate
with the most delicious humor and the
characters are as real as they are low
able. A deep vein of romance is de
veloped through a Russian refugee
who is wanted by the police for extra
dition on a trumped-up charge and
who is passionately defended at the
risk of enormous financial sacrifice
by Abe and Morris, because of THEN
loyalty to their own race and then
spirit of fair play. ltd.
