On little wooden table under. a
tree Princess Rosina placed the bread
and other things she found in the bas-
ket, and two plates and the knives and
forks: and when the meat was cook
ed. her husband brought 1t to the
table and they sat down to eat their
dinner.
Princess Rosina thought she had
never tasted anything quite SO nice as
that dinner, and before she knew it
she was talking and laughing with
her new husband as though she had
picked out the man she wanted to
marry, instead Of being carried of by
him without her consent.
When It came supper time the Prin-
cess helped to cook, and the next
morning she was up early and began
cooking the breakfast by herself.

was nothing more or less
than a weakened condition
brought on by lack of iron in
the blood. Iron is absolutely
necessary to enable your
blood to change food into living It's
sue. Without it, no matter how
much or what you eat, your food
merely passes through you with
out doing any good. You don't get
the strength out OF it and as
consequence you become
weak, pale and sickly looking, just
like a plant trying to grow in soil
deficient in iron. If you are not
strong or well, you owe it to your
self to make the following test:
See how long you can work or
how long you can walk, with
out becoming tired. Next take two
five-grain tablets of ordinary nux-
ated iron three times per day after
meals for two weeks. Then test
your strength again and see for
yourself how much you have gained.

this after they had in some cases
been doctoring for months without
obtaining any benefit. But don't
take the old forms of reduced iron,
iron acetate or tincture of iron
simply to save a few cents. You
must take iron in a form that can
be easily absorbed and assimilated
like nuxated iron if you want it
to do you any good, otherwise it
may prove worse than useless.

This Man Was Halt
UndreSsed When He
Took OFF His Shoes.
WHAT WITNESS TOLD
THE MAYOR. WHO SAYS HE
THINKS IT'S POSSIBLE.


What percentage of a persons
clothing must be off before he is. in
the eyes Of the law, an imitation of
September Morn? \
Would the fact that a mans shoes
have been removed, constitute
charge that he was undressed?
These are TWO of the questions
which Mayor Batson was asked in Po-
lice Court this morning, in settling the
differences between Lee Pearson and
an East Pine street negress. The
Mayor said that he was unable to an
swor the first question. The answer
to the second, he said, dependent en-
tirely upon the size of the feet.
n have seen persons whose peGal
extremeties were so, large that should
they remove their shoes, they would
be half undressed," he said.
A woman on East Pine street, near
the Mississippi Central crossing, said
that Pearson and another negro had
engaged in "cussin' match" at her
house last night, and she had the two
in Police Court to answer the charge.
Pearson denied cursing, but admitted
having spoken harshlyl to the woman.
"Ah went to de house, and All finds
sdis other niger dere.i He was half
undressed, and All got confused. Ad
did have some things to say, but All
did not cuss."
The woman swore that her male
companion was not half undressed.
Pearson said he was.
"What part of his clothing was miss,
ing?" the Mayor asked.
/ "Well, jedge, he had his shoes off,
Pearson replied.
"That doesn't mean that he was hall
Iundressed," the Mayor answered.
i "But, Jedge, you jes' ought to see
dat nigger's feet!" was Pearson's re
lsponse.

and defendants to go home and forge
their troubles.
