IN YOUTHS GAY sPRINGTIME
Incident of Innocent Pleasure That Excited .he Admiration of
 Gap Johnson.

'.It shore does a feller good to see the innocent pleasure children get out of the coming of spring!' said Gap Johnson of Rumpus Ridge. .'The first right warm day most of my young, 'uns swarmed, as you might say. Wife took and ripped 'em out of their under clothes that she'd sewed 'em up in last fall, and they hit the path for the creek, scratching and chssing mer- rily.
 ''They found there seven or eight of Gabe Giggery's kids, three or four of Jim-Tom Tullery'S, a bunch of Zeke Yawley's and several more than no- body could tell whose they were till they got their faces washed Well, then there was a grand hooraw as they all shucked theirselves and whirled in to tying each others clothes up in hard knots, and fighting about it, and such as that. Round and round and over and under they went, till they all fell into the drink and kept right on lamming each other till they knocked all the water out of the creek. City Star.

BOBBY WANTED THAT AGATE
If Persistency Could Have Got 1t for Him, We Must Admit He
 Deserved It.

The older boys were playing mar bles. Three-year-old Bobby wished some agates like his brother had and asked father for two cents to buy one with. The money was given to him and he immediately wished to go to the store to make the purchase. So persistent did he become that father said:
 If you don't keep still about that agate l will take those pennies away from you"
 What will you do with the pennies if you take them away?" he asked
 Why, I'll put them back in my purse.''
 "Win you take them uptown when you go to the office?'
 ''Yes; I will.''
 After few moments reflection, Bobby came back with:
 And will you buy me an agate with them?''

Calif., "and that's been a long time, for I'm now in my sixty-eighth year.
 '1 remember when I was a child was kept on a strict diet of lime water and milk for weeks and I have been in constant distress all these years. I suffered terribly from bloat- Ing and had to be very careful of what l ate. I became so weak and nervous I could hardly go about my housework and was in a miserable condition.
 About two years ago my husband got such splendid results from Tanlac he insisted on my taking it and the medicine wasn't but a little while in ridding me of my troubles. It gave me a splendid appetite, and I could enjoy a good hearty meal, even things I hadn't dare touch before, without any fear of it troubling me.
 '"Then l had the influenza and be- came dreadfully sick and weak, but my stomach kept in good order and it only took four bottles of Tan1ac to build me up again to where I'm now feeling better than at any time I can remember. I have gained eleven pounds in weight, too, and words can't express the gratitude I feel toward Tanlac. I keep Tanlac in the house all the time now, for I know it Is a medicine that can be depended upon."

"A zoo is a place to reflect on the superiority of mankind" remarked the bumptious citizen.
 'T don't agree with you," answered MT. GrumpSon. 'I've never visited a zoo but two or three times in my life, but the thought that struck me was that all the animals were attend ing strictly to their own business and if mankind had less curiosity and more consideration for dumb creatures none of them would have been there.''
