Hone Not All Abandoned.

Miss, Threeyears was watching the
grizzly bear in his new cage to the
northwest of the lion house. A re-
Gently constructed chain of bear and
other animal cages there has added
Immensely to the attraction OF the
place.
Somebody threw the old grizzly a
peanut, and then another, but both
nuts hit the bars and fell just outside
the cage. The bear reached his paw
through and tried to scoop the tempt
ing nuts in, but his long, yellow claws
seemed to be in his way.
He had to use his claws as sort OF
rake, and the spaces between the
prongs of his rake proved too Wide,
so the peanuts slipped through.
Miss Threeyears was most sympa-
thetic. The poor bear couldn't get his
peanuts. But there was yet hope. The
keeper would be around shortly with
the bears dinner, and then
maybe he can get it Wit a fork or
q 'poOn," she said.-Washington Star.

Didn't Work Out Right.

A languid swell was visiting a
charming young society lady, and as
they sat on either side Of the fire his
heart was full of the burning desire
to say something not only compli-
mentary, but brilliantly fiattering. So,
after revolving the matter in his mind.
he said: "Ah, Miss Lille, why are
those fire-tongs so like meT"
he meant her to guess, OF ask him to
tell her, "because they were PROSTATE
at her feet" or something of that kind.

Christopher Columbus, In spite Of the
incalculable services he had rem
dered to Spain. was taken into Cadiz
in fetters. King Ferdinand and Queen
Isabella were moved at the sight and
commanded that he be released. Co.

give the insult. and until the time OF
his death the ignominious ,fetters were
hung in full sight on his walls as
reminder Of the ingratitude' of his SOW

Persia ,Sparseiy Peopied.

It is easy to overrate the land OF
Darius and Cyrus, Amar. and Hafiz,
for Persia has not nearly as many in
habitants as Mexico. Estimates differ
widely and there has never been real
census. but it is possible that in ter
ritory equal to France, Germany, the
British isles and Italy all taken to-
gether, the population does not ex-
ceed that Of little Belgium. In area
Persia is more than Is times as big
as Ohio, but it contains fewer than
twice as many people.

The Mockinu Bird.

No two mocking bird families can
occupy the same tree or husband
there are some lively scraps before
their territorial boundaries are estab-
lished; but once settled, their peace
treaty is faithfully kept. The mock
ing bird never forgets that he is q
star in the musical world. He will
help pick out the building place and
lay the foundation of the nest; then
he suddenly seems, to make up his
mind that he is a poor architect, but a
fine musician, and abandons house
building for the business of singing for
his own little world.

Two sweaters-as far separated
from one another in style as the North
IL from the South-are presented for
the consideration of the sportsw0man
in the picture above. Each is represent.
ative Of a type; the first, at the right
Of the two, being an example Of styles
used where the sweater is called up
on to give actual warmth and free
dom Of movement. It is a close-knit,
snug-fitting garment Of wool, machine
made, with cap to match, and is one
Of several varieties that the outdoor
girl and the sportswoman find indis-
pensable. This model Is in one color,
has patch pockets and a wide turn
over collar-with knitted band to hold
It close up about the neck. This is its
novel feature and speaks for itself,
for it assures comfort in the face Of
icy winds. The cap is in two colors.
Sweater coats Of brushed wool are
much like this model except that they
are loose and belted. Usually collar,
cuffs and pockets are bordered with a
band in contrasting color. Vivid and
high colors are well represented, but
do not predominant in the new sweat
ers; turquoise. rose and purple with
orange appear among them. The
brushed wool sweater coats are very
warm looking.
A rival Of the sweater has arrived
In the very wide scarfs, usually In two
color, combinations, having pockets in
the fringed ends and belts to match
There is as great a variety In these
as in sweaters, suited to as many pur'
poses and climes as the competitors
which they are destined to displace,
or at least tn share favors with.

The pretty garment and cap at the
left, by contrast with its sturdy COM
panion, is only acting part. It is q
sleeveless affair of knitted silk, having
a cross-bar in a contrasting color, with
small tassels suspended on silk cords
Of the same color, about the bottom.
It is made in the slip-on style, but
opens a little way down. the. front
where single button and two cords,
ending in tassels, provide fastening
and finish. Not much is required Of
it in the way of warmth and it can.
therefore, afford to be sleeveless. The
cloth tam, worn with it, Is run with
stitches like the cross-bar in the

the silk is knotted loosely about the
waist. This is an Interpretation Of the

ed of heavy silk yarn. They have el-
bow sleeves ending in a wide ripple,

they are the most dignified Of all the

DOCTORS find
REMEDY FOR
COLDS and FLU
Calotabs, the New Nau,ealess Cal.
omel Tablets, Cut Short Colds
and May Prevent Flu By
Keeping Liver Active.

Physicians have learned from ex-
perience, during the epidemic of in
fuenZa. that one of the most i'm
portant factors in the prevention of
fiu and pneumonia is to keep the
liver active so that the digestive
organs may be in perfect working
order and the system thereby en-
abled to throw off colds, check sore
throat, and resist serious complica-
tons. For this purpose they have
found that the new, nausealess
calomel tablets called Calotabs, are
far more effective even than the old
style calomel, which was formerly
the universal favorite, as Calotabs
do not weaken the patient, nor in
terfere with the appetite and digcs-
ton.
At the first sign of a cold or sore
throat. doctors recommend one
Calotab at bedtime with a swallow
of water-that's all. No salts, no
nausea. nor the slightest interfer-
ence with your diet pleasure or
work. Next morning you wake up
feeling fine, your liver is active,
and your appetite is keen for a good
breakfast.
For your protection Calotabs are
sold only in original sealed pack
ages, price thirty-five cents. All
druggists recommend and guaran-
tee Calotabs. Your money back IL
you are not delighted with them-Adv.

Lived on so Cents.

Junction City, Kans.. Dec. A-The
price that it takes to buy a dozen
eggs at present served to feed an en-
tire family during one winter in Kan
sas. The story of how he brought
his family through a severe winter in
the early COS on 90 cents is told
by W. B. Houtz, a Geary County
pioneer.
Mr.. Houtz found his capital reduced
to 50 cents. A long family council was
held to determine in what manner
this sum was to be disposed of in
order to sustain the pioneers until
springtime. Finally 1t was decided
that Mr.. Houtz should spend the en-
tire sum for powder and shot, buy
ing considerably more powder than
shot Prairie chickens were plenti-
full in those days and other game
was far from scarce.
Mr.. Houtz kept his family alive that
winter on his 60-cent investment
When the shot ran low he substituted
gravel and many a chicken fell be-
fore it.
