DADDY Is STILL COGITATING
Precocious Youngster Asked Question
Which Couldn't Be Answered
Fright Off the Bat"

When Auditor of State Vic Donahey
and six of his ten children had re-
turned from Sunday school he tried
the children out on the lesson, which
had been about Noah and the Ark. He
impressed on their minds that Of all
the inhabitants of the earth, human,
creeping and otherwise, all save those
which had taken refuge on the Ark
had persisted in the food. There was
nothing living at all except what was
on the Ark, he told the children. The
waters had drowned out all life.
Say, dad" inquired one of the
youngsters, who is especially preco-
cious, did the fishes in the water die,
too?"
This was poser for the auditor
He told the lad that he would answer
the question later Answering ques-
tions right off the bat is one Of the
accomplishments of the auditor, but
the one the boy asked stumped him.

DEFIED PASSAGE OF TIME
Wrought Iron Spur, Many Years
Under Ground, Almost as Good
as New When Cleaned.

An iron spur was found on the battle
field Of Brandywine, Pa, and recently
presented to independence Hall mu-
scum by ]. E. Picking of Philadelphia,
on whose fathers farm it was plowed
up. When first discovered it was at
tached to a long cavalryman's boot,
which Immediately fell to pieces when
handled, leaving the spur, greatly rust
ed and corroded, but intact. When
cleaned it appeared almost as good as
ever, although it had lain in the
ground since the battle of Brandywine,
September II, 1777.
It is now used to illustrate history
lectures to the public school children
in independence hall by Superintend-
emit Carpenter, who declares that Chill
dren are fine scouts when 1t comes to
discovering things
A steel manufacturer from Chicago
happened to be present when it was
displayed, and upon examining 1t de-
clared that it was made OF wrought
iron and that it was much superior to
the wrought iron of today, which, II
buried an equally long period In the
ground, would probably be rusted and
corroded entirely away. I'VE are try
ing to discover" said he. the secret
of old-time iron that was immune to
destruction by rust"

SYRUP Of FIGS FOR
A CH|LD'S BOWELS
1t is cruel to force nauseating,
harsh physic into a
sick child.

Look back at your childhood days.
Remember the dose" mother insisted
on-castor oil, calomel, cathartics.
How you hated them, how you fought
against taking them.
With our children it's different.
Mothers who cling to the old form Of
physic simply don't realize what they
do. The children's revolt is well-found-
ed. Their tender little "insides" are
injured by them.
II your child's stomach, liver and
bowels need cleansing, give only deli
cious California Syrup of Figs" It's
action is positive, but gentle. Millions
of mothers keep this harmless fruit
laxative" handy; they know children
love to take it; that 1t never fails to
clean the liver and bowels and sweet
en- the stomach, and that teaspoonful
given today saves sick child tomor-
row.
Ask at the store for a 50-cent bottle
of California Syrup of Figs" which
has full directions for babies, children
Of all ages and for grown-ups plainly
on each bottle. Adv.

Bondage

ISOBEL MUIR RANDALL
Copyright. 1916. by w. G. Chapman.)

\COpyTlBHt, 1SIos py W. ". OHapuAAJ
No one had ever come after Una
Prince-that is, in the way of lover.
She had never thought much about
herself, for her life was busy one.
Those who knew her and esteemed
her, however, marveled at the vii
lage SWANS who picked out all sorts
and conditions of girls, passing over
the jewel of the flock, in their esti-
nation.
Una was an orphan and for two
years had been housekeeper for the
Wendells, husband and wife, rich, but
parsimonious, old, grabbed, exacting.
They valued her, but they pinned her
down to an irksome servitude. Mrs.
Wendell was an invalid, and the
sheer kindness of Una's heart i'm
PEELED her to be quite daughter to
the ailing capricious old woman out
of a pure sense of duty.
1t was the social side of affairs that
depressed Una She had been used
to company, entertainments. sleighs
and skating in the wintertime, tennis
and boating in their season.
When her father died she had to
give up all these out of sheer neces-
sity. Mr.. Prince had left next to
nothing and Una went to the city and
found a position as typist in a stuffy
crowded little Office.
1t took year to drive the velvet
bloom from her cheek and the vivac-
ity of naturally joyous nature from
her eyes. She had a sick spell and
her physician ordered her back to
the pure air and unclouded sunshine
of Brookville
Then the opportunity with the Wen

dells came her way. She was In the
kitchen of their home now, preparing
a cake. She hummed pretty cheer
full tune as she went about her la.
bors. Then a burst of girlish laughter
from the next yard caused her lip to
culver slightly and her fair brow
clouded. The residence beyond the
next dividing hedge was occupied by
a wealthy young widow, Mrs. Nal
lory, who had rented 1t for summer
home. She had invited numberless
friends from the city and the extern
sive garden was constant scene ct
brightness and gayety. Mrs. Mallory
had always nodded pleasantly across
the hedge to her pretty neighbor and
only a week previous had invited Una
over to a lawn party to meet her
friends.
Una was delighted. She was filled
with joyous anticipations of the good
time expected. She had donned her
daintiest dress the afternoon of the
function, when Mrs. Wendell was
seized with one of her habitual hys-
terical fits and she was forced to give
up the party.
"Oh, well, perhaps I am getting too
far on the shady side Of girlhood to
join in with those young sweet crea-
lures" poor Una tried to cheat her
self into believing-she had not the
vanity to realize her own rare beauty
and grace.
"A dash of nutmeg and I'm through
with the cake" announced Una O min
ute later.
She reached up to the cabinet over
the kitchen table and took down a
jar. 1t held the nutmegs but some
sticky sugar grains prevented them
from shaking out. Una squeezed her
shapely hand through the open top to
loosen them.
"Oh, dear!" she cried, now I've
done 1t. I can neither get my hand
further down nor out"
The mouth of the jar was fitted to
her wrist like boxing glove. She
was dismayedly deciding that to be
released she must break the jar,
when she turned like q shot.
"Hey, there, my pretty" q grun
voice hailed her and the shadow of q
trampish intruder fell across the floor.
Una stood petrifled. The man was
fierce looking, the vicious CLEAN OF
his eyes a menace. He held small
lacquered and inlaid box in his hand.
He thrust back its lid, drew from 1t
small lady's jeweled watch and said
hurriedly:
Give me q dollar for that, young
lady, and it's yours"
At a glance Una realized that the
man must be q thief, for the little
watch was brilliantly set with dia-
monds.
