The advance payment (capara) of ten

the Greek would point to both sig

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 J. E. Picking of Philadelphia,
on whose fathers farm it was plowed
up. When first discovered it was at
tached to a long cavalrymans 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-
ent Carpenter, who declares that chill
dren are fine scouts when it comes to
discovering things"
A steel manufacturer from Chicago
happened to be present when it was
displayed and upon examining it de-
clared that it was made of wrought
iron and that it was much superior to
the wrought iron of today, which, if
buried an equally long period in the
ground, would probably be rusted and
corroded entirely away. 1--WE are try
ing to discover" said he, the secret
of old-time iron that was immune to
destruction by rust"

friends from the city and the extern
sive garden was constant scene of
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 alticipations 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 l am getting too
far on the shady side of girlhood to
Join in with these young sweet crea-
lures" poor Una tried to cheat her
self into belieying-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 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 ope-. top to
loosen them.
"Oh, dear!" she cried, now I've
done it. ] can neither get my hand
further down nor out"
The mouth of the jar was fitted to
her wrist like a boxing glove. She
was dismayedly deciding that to be
released she must break the jar,
when she turned like shot
Hey, there, my pretty!" a gruff
voice hailed her and the shadow of a
trampish intruder fell across the floor.
Una stood petrified. The man was
fierce looking, TIE vicious CLEAN of
his eyes a menace He held a small
lacquered and inlaid box in his hand.
He thrust back its lid, drew from it a
small lady's jeweled watch and said
hurriedly:
Give me dollar for that, young
lady, and it's yours"
At a glance Una realized that the
man must be a thief. for the little
watch was brilliantly set with dia
monds.

Only Christmastime reveals just
how many fascinating feminine be-
longngs are brought to the light OF
day, and the delight Of everybody,
when thoughts turn to ribbons. 1t
seems that women love to work with
them and are inspired to fashion for
themselves and for their homes and
their friends all sorts of alluringly
pretty things.
Only three of the innumerable nov
elites made of ribbon for the holt
day season are pictured here. Rib
bon bags, as usual, held first place and
ranged from the tiny flowerlike sachet
to the capacious and splendid opera
bag. A pretty vanity bag is shown
here, made of light blue printed rib
bon with a small rose and foliage de-
sign scattered over its surface. 1t
Is lined with plain satin in pink and
is made of four lengths of ribbons.
These lengths are rounded at one end
and only the straight edges are sewed
together The bottom of the bag is
made of a little oblong mirror, in
cased in the pink satin, with the mir
ror side out. Within the bag are a
little powder box and puff and any
other of the complexion aids which
are required.
The bag is closed by drawstrings of
narrow satin ribbon finished with
small bows at each side. When the
opening is drawn up the rounded ends
of ribbon have the appearance of
flower petals and the top becomes a
blossom.
A small circular pincushion is
shown below the bag, made by shir-
ring plain satin ribbon over fine wires
to cover a small circular foundation.
1t is suspended by a narrow ribbon
hanger and finished with little ro-

SYRUP OF FIGS FOR

It 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, catharticJ.
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.
If your child's stomach, liver and
bowels need cleansing, give only deli

action is positive, but gentle. Millions
Of mothers keep this harmless fruit

love to take it; that It never fails to
clean the liver and bowels and sweet

given today saves a sick child tomor-
row.
