Low Cost Of Titles,

A group Of northerners at a hotel
in Louisville were poking fun at the
partially of Southerners for the titles
of Colonel" "major," and "judge."
"What is colonel hereabouts7''
asked one Of the group, and there i'm
mediately followed discussion.

Women Users Of Tobacco.

Smoking by women Of the educated
class in England Is so recent reviv-
al that we are rather apt to forget
that, taking the sex all the world over,
probably the majority smoke, and Of
those who do the pipe Is the form Of
indulgence generally favored. In jap
an, for example, woman has smoked
ever since tobacco was introduced, and
invariably used the pipe Of metal with
the tiny bowl holding only sufficient
tobacco to provideshalf dozen whiffs,
which was in universal use until the
cigarette entered japan with other
western innovations. In our own
country, especially in Ireland, the
peasant woman is often to be seen
with a pipe in her mouth, and 1t 10

Preserving Flowers with Wax.

It Is not generally known that many
kinds of flowers may be preserved in
lifelike condition with wax. Ordinary
candles may be used, and to prepare
the wax, it is only needful to cut up
the candles into chunks, taking away
the wicks. The wax is then melted
in a saucepan over a fame, and when
the whole Is liquid, the flowers may
be treated. Each bloom should be
quite dry ON the surface, that is, there
should be no rain or dewdrops on the
petals. Take the blossoms separately
and dip them for a moment or so
into the liquid wax, constantly NOV
ing them about. immense the bios
som completely and also an inch or
so Of the stem. Then take them out
and wave about in the air to dry.

want to work. She doesn't even
know that she is expected to work.
She thinks she is In the Office to
draw her weekly pay and she acts
accordingly.
The average office girl doesn't
even know that she Is alive. If you
ring her phone she responds but she
doesn't know the things you ask her
about. 81 don't know anything
about it, Is the phrase she uses
oftenest. If you ask for the head of
the house she tells you he is not In.
You ask when he will be In and
again she doesn't know. You ask her
to have him call you when he ar
rives and you never hear any more
of it until you ring again. You tackle
her to know why she did not de-
liver your message and she says she
did but that he has been busy. You
talk to him and ask IL he received
your message and he replies that his
office girl was out to luncheon when
he came in. You ask II she didn't
leave a note about calling you and
he seems surprised. His desk is prob
ably SO Uttered up that he would not
notice a written message II 1t were
there.
There Is an average girl or two
in town who stays in the office and
looks at people who come in. If they
offer to pay money she takes 1t. II
they try to buy goods or service she
says there is nobody in to attend to
it. You ask her IL she will take your
order and have it attended to and
she says she will tell him about it."
You wait week and never hear any
more about it and you go again. She
looks at you and says she doesn't
know anything about it but that she
will tell him about it." You wait
a few days and ring up. She
answers. She calls her chief to the
phone and he neither admits nor de-
MES knowledge of the order. He
asks you what you want and
promises to attend to it. In the full
ness of time you get what you want
ed, but it is not satisfactory because
of the loss of time. The office girl
isn't to blame. 1t is her chief. He
ought to have fired her or trained
her or quit the job himself, or per-
haps both.
There is an average office girl in
town who doesn't expect to be pro-
NOTED, and she will not be disap-
pointed. She thinks she is attached
to job where the salary is fixed and
all she has to do is to draw it. Bet
ter service and promotion never oc-
cur to her. Taking no responsibility
and getting used to carrying the
load" have never been a part of her
ambition and her dreams. If you
find a letter in your mail that does
not seem to belong to you and 1t
is accompanied by a large check and
rush order for goods that you do
not handle, you look at the address
and find that it belongs to firm
that employs and keeps an average
office girl. You deem it important
that they should have that letter at
once and you walk several blocks to
hand it to her. She reclines on the
counter and takes it from your hand
without thanking you. You explain
how you came to have it and says,
"All right" She doesn't know she
is alive, and if trade never came to
town till it was won and held by such
service as the average office girl
renders it would never come.

the agent as it's leader and furnishes
him with the problems that take his
time and his Skill. Mr.. Hochbaum
was not sure that Bingham county

purpose just now, as there are IA
counties lined up, and four more

Caluma is quicksilver and acts
like dynamite on
your liver.

Calomel loses you a dayi You
know what ealomel is. It's mer-
curry; quicksilver. Calomel is dam
gerous. It crashes into sour bile
like dynamite, cramping and sick
ening you. Calomel attacks the
bones and should never be put into
your system.
When you feel bilious, sluggish,
Sonstipated and all knocked out and
believe you need a dose.of dangerous
calomel just remember that your
druggist sells for so cents a large
bottle of Dodson's Liver Tone, which
is entirely vegetable and pleasant to
take and is a perfect substitute for
|calomel. It is guaranteed to start
your liver without stirring you up
inside, and can not salivate.
Don't take calomel! It makes you
sick the next day; it loses you a days
work. Dodson's Liver Tone straight
ems you right up and you feel great.
Give it to the children because it is
perfectly harmless and doesn't grippe.
