deeply that he could not come into my

sunk down the imaginative faculty.

not enough to restore him to any

Honest Man.

Annis Burke of the Claypool hotel
believes that Diogenes did not need a
lantern to find the proverbial honest
man. Burke discovered that individ-
ual when he received a letter from a
man in Louisville, who, several days
before, had been a guest at the Clay
pool.
In his letter the man explained that
when he left the hotel he had procured
what he thought was a pair of his over
shoes from his checkroom. He did not
notice that they were not his until he
got to Louisville. He then discovered,
he said, that the shoes he had obtained
were not his, but were a brand-new
pair, and worth at least so cents more
than his had been.
The guest said that he desired to do
the square thing with the man who
had taken his o%vershoes, and offered to
send the shoes back on receipt Of the
necessary postage. Burke said he
supposed the other man had lev no
ticed the mistake.-Indianapolis News.

Gated that he was upon the verge of a
nervous breakdown.
Doctor he burst out excitedly, it
is all over l cannot marry her. / do
not love her. l seem to be possessed
by a perverse devil, for l love this
woman of my creation more than any
one on earth. And l feel that in mar
rying Miss Latham l am committing
an ~unspeakable sacrilege.
"'Do you remember that passage l
read to you from my book?' he contin-
ued. Though we be severed through
a thousand lives to come, each from
each, yet l will find thee at the end?"
And then the lovers, embracing, and
utterly convinced that some day they
will be reunited, yield themselves to
the knife without a pang? Doctor, l
am that man. Laugh at my idea as
you choose, l know it; and l know that
somewhere in the world Lota, the
heroine of my romance, is waiting for
me to claim her. And If l fail her now
1 shall lose her forever
1.-The thing for you to do I an
swered, is to forget about your own
representative emotional personality
and think about Miss Latham. How
would it affect her if the marriage
were not to occur?'

yet, what is her love to Lota's? Has
she waited for me ten thousand years?'
"'Since the beginning of the world,
Field l answered. Nothing is left to
chance, though we make our own fac
tors in the predestined totality. There
is one thing that l have learned of
life above all others; do the duty that
lies before you and let your dreams
alone, for these will work themselves
out without your volition. If you are
pledged to Lota, you have waited for
her through a reasonably large num-
Der of i~ncarnations, and you can rea-
sonably wait until the next, when you
will perhaps have acquired greater
wisdom. Take my advice, Field; don't
throw your chance of happiness away
for a phantasy, but marry Miss La
than and spend your honeymoon in
some romantic place where you will
learn to send Lota packing back to
the land of Dreams

Then l suggested that he let me hypno-

CANADAS BONUS
TO FARM LAB0RERS
Offering 100 Acres to Farm
Hands.

Canada today, with the great de-
-nand that is made upon it for food
stuffs, finds itself almost in the throes
Of a labor famine. A novel means Of
solving the problem has been evolved
by the Canadian Government at Ottawa
on Wednesday last, when it was de-
cided to practically bonus every farm
hand going to Canada, by giving him
100 acres free as a homestead, and to
allow the time he would be working out
for, the good wages offered, to count as
residence duties on the homestead.
Western Canada has been a big pro-
Queer of grain and it is estimated that
there is a shortage of over thirty thou
sand men, necessary to produce an av-
erage crop in 1917. This shortage has
been caused by so many young men
having left the farms to go to war, and
it is essential to make an unprecedent-
ed offer Of this kind, to fill their places
on the land at once.
1t has been required in the past to
do three years duties on homesteads
to get title, but an additional induce
ment has been offered by practically
reducing this term to two years. AS
explained by an official of the Canadi-
an Government, Canada's need for
farm laborers Is intense, and excep-
tional inducements are being offered
to get the needed farm workers at
once. A farmland will make his en-
try for one of the 160-acre farms, sat-
isfy the Government that he is work.

ply as residence on the land filed for,

he said, that 1 become my normal
self again. If it were not for that l
think l should go mad. But in my
sleep l see Cynthia again as she was
when first l fell in love with her. In
my sleep l love her more devotedly
than ever, and it is this which sus-
ta1ns me against the day, when l hate
her. What good will it do to mince
words? hate her by day, and think
only of Lota. my beloved
Here was a strange and complex
situation. These two peoples lives
were at cross-purposes. The husband
loved his wife asleep and hated her
awake; she loved him when she was
awake and hated him when she slept.
But, as Freud has -hown, our dreams
are an intimate portion of our person
alities and represent the fulflment of
our daily lives; they color our lives
just as they take their form from
them. Unless l could bring the two in
to harmony their future would be
wrecked.

Mrs. Field was actually Lota, Just as
Field was the Atlantean. But so many
lives had rolled between them since

Don't Neglect Kidneys
Swamp Root, DR.. Kilmer's Prescrip-
ton, OvercOmeS Kidney Trouble

1t is now conceded by physicians that
the kidneys should nave more attention
as they control the other organs to a re-
markable degree and do a tremendous
amount of work in removing the poisons
and waste matter from the system by
fltering the blood.
The kidneys should receive some as
sistance when needed. We take less ex-
e%rcise, drink less water and often eat
more rich, heavy food, thereby forcing
the kidneys to do more work than nature
intended. Evidence of kidney trouble,
such as lame back, annoying bladder
troubles, smarting or burning, brick
dust or sediment, sallow complexion,
rheumatism, maybe weak or irregular
heart action, warns you that your kid
neys require help Immediately to avoid
more serious trouble.
An ideal herbal compound that has had
most remarkable success as a kidney and
bladder remedy is DIR. Kilmer's Swamp
Root. There is nothing else like it. It
is DR.. Kilmer's prescription used in pri-
vate practice and it is sure to benefit you.
Get a bottle from your druggist.
However, if you wish first to test this
great preparation send ten cents to DR..
Kilmer & Co., B~inghamton, N. Y, for a
sample bottle. When writing be sure and

New Art DISCUSSES Uniforms.

One Of the latest conceptions for
rendering military uniforms less Wis.,
ible on the field Of battle is to use ma

ing patches Of contrasting light and
dark colors with navy outlines.
Some of the darker patches are out
lined in a still darker color, and small

the color effect of some of the patches,
so that the effect of uncertain light

had ever done before.
The quartet arrived Friday night
at the bare little room over the
store that had been set aside for the
Red Cross headquarters in the viii
lage, and after MOlly's uncle had
picked the lock with a pass key,
they soon set to work by the light
of a steady old oil lamp.
knitting was not exactly easy for
the old man, and the yarn caught
on his calloused knuckles, but he

he could not constrain his feelings
TO respond TO his will.
He wondered why he mad been so
short-sighted not TO join her, to ac-
cept the chance offered by the gods,
and as he dashed himself mentally
over his failure TO do so, something
in the attitude of a woman upon
whom his eyes had rested unseeingly
for some time brought a sudden
realization that, after all, fate was
kind.
He made no move to join her. He
was content to wait, hoping she
would recognize him when she
turned. He was disappointed. Once
her eyes swept over him casually,
as casually as they passed over
others standing near.
Still he hoped for recognition.

Johns pipe or relighted it, so that
the wheels of the machine might run
on without interruption.
It was about 10 o'clock and the
minister's song was at its loudest,
the machine was buzzing almost as
noisely. The air was blue with
smoke and the four men were as
intent on their work as though the
evenings occupation had been a
game of whist. They did not see
the FOUR figures that looked up to-
ward the window from the street,
nor did they hear, through the par
sons noisy treble, the sound Of four
different sorts of footsteps on the
stairs But they did hear a key in
the door. and because Mol'y's uncle
heard his Matty's voice saying
very positively: Il guess I'll find
out who dared break into this
room" He reached up to the lamp
that hung from the ceiling, drew il
down, and with one vigorous puff

congruity of a piano in his den, but
the oddly of its appearance disap-
peared in a greater establishment as
he noticed upon the hearth two
pairs of slippers. This in itself was
not unusual. but when he glimpsed
one of the pair he wondered what
had happened 10 him. Close beside
his WORKOUT and comfortable num-
Der mines was woman's shoe,
dainty and small.
A blast from a steamer at the
pier reused him, and he looked at
his watch as a porter approached
with his grip and rug, and with
an unconscious sigh he came back
TO the business of the moment.
That a man should have dreams
is not surprising. The surprising
thing was that this condition OF
mind was brought about, not by a
young woman, but by one quite 35
or more years Of age. She could
not even lay claim 10 beauty. but in
Rachels face was force and sweet
ness; a note in her voice that APP
pealed 70 him. Analysing his con-
dition OF mind later on he reached
the conclusion he was in a state Dor
dering upon the idiocy Of extreme
youth; for the first time in his life
