EMPLOYED THE RIGHT TERM
to Say of the Soloist's
Vocal Efforts?

The soloist was an egotist and the
rest of the choir hated him cordially.
And when it gave a recent concert
they were provoked when he got the
very best parts. But still the mem
bers felt that they had one way left
to get even with him. One of their
members did the publicity work for
them and they knew that he too dis
liked the baritone, and hoped that he
would give him no publicity-a thing
he craved more than all else.
But TO their dismay the next morn
ing's paper read, MIR. Blanks rendi
ton of his solos was very satisfying
They took the writer TO task. And
he retorted. II had TO mention them
didn't 1? Well, what else could
say? They were certainly satisfying
to himself, and as for the rest of you
! didn't hear you clamoring for any
more of them, did II"
And they We're convinced he was
right.

"And 1 see that it is a most foolish

manufacturer.

While Mrs. Bowser was heaving a
long sigh of pretended disappointment,
Mr.. Bowser got up and left the house
and slammed the door behind him. He
went over to the drug store and peered
into the window. There were three
men in there and he heard one of them
say:
"There is old man Bowser looking
in. l wonder if he hasn't got a
scheme to make the sun shine for
twenty-four hours without going to

And Mr.. Bowser quit peering and
walked on. Mrs. Bowser wasn't to

How many young girls suffer as Mrs.
Tegarden did and do not know where to
turn for advice or help. They often are
obliged to earn their living by toiling
day in and day out no matter how hard

who suffers in this way should try Lydia

if she does not get prompt relief write
to the Lydia E. Pinkham Medicine Co.,
Lynn, Massachusetts, about her health.
Such letters are held in strict conf
dence.

"E Pluribus Unum."

"E Pluribus Unum," the Latin mot
to on the diverse of the great seal
of the United States and on certain
of the coins, means "one from
many" 1t was first proposed August
10, 1776, by Benjamin Franklin, John
Adams and Thomas Jefferson, who
had been appointed committee of
three to prepare a device for the seal.
This device, however, was not ac-
cepted. and it was not until June 20,
1882, that the motto was adopted as
part of the second and successful de-
sign submitted by Charles Thomp-
son, secretary of congress. In 1916
congress decreed that the words
should appear on certain specified
coins.

MR.. BOWSER'S
WITCHHAZEL
And Mrs. Bowser's Flying
Machine.
BY nj. QUAD.
By M. QUAD.
(0. 1921. by Mcclure Newspaper syndis


1t was day previous to Mrs. Bow
ser's birthday. There had come into
Mr.. Bowser's Office, a sharp-featured,
keen-looking man, who gave his name
as Mr.. Gordon. He was practical
chemist, and was connected with a
wholesale drug manufacturer. He
wanted to 90 in business for himself
or with partner who had money and
energy. lie had heard or Mr.. Bowser
and had called to talk business.
One of the great money-makers for
the drug house, was witchhazel. 1t re-
turned over 100 per cent profit. Mr..
Gordon wanted to go into the manu-
facture of witchhazel. 1t would make
couple OF men miliionaires In five
years. The world was not half sup
piled. The liquid was dollar pint
and still going up. He had talk
with Mr.. Bowser for two long hours,
and he satisfied him that the oppor-
tunity of his life had come to him. 1t
beat bookkeeping and pig-raising all
to pieces.
At five o'clock Mr.. Bowser started
home, as usual. He was placid and
satisfied with the world. He looked
around him at the stores and offices,
and calculated that he could buy them
all, in two years. Two or three of his
fellow passengers, on the car, stepped
on his toes, and the conductor took
fifty cents from him and forgot TO
make the change. Nothing irritated
Mr. Bowser, however. He smiled, as
he entered the hall of his house, and
that smile warned Mrs. Bowseg that
he had something up his sleeve. She
said nothing, however, and after din
ner he suddenly began:
Mrs. Bowser, do you know that to-
morrow is your birthday"
Eyes, did not forget that" she re-
piled.
"You have been a dear, good wife to
me and / am glad that / have pre-
pared surprise for you. 1t isn't a
necklace of diamonds or pearls, but
that will come a little later"
1T was good of you to remember"
she murmured.
81 have always remembered and al
ways shall. You have stood by me as
a true wife should Let me ask you,
If you know liquid called witch
haZel?"
81 think I do. We have kept it in
the house ever since we were mar
ried."
Eyes, we have. 1t is a great thing
know what it sells for at drug stores
1t is one dollar pint, my dear wife
and they make profit of one hundred
per cent. There is an increasing de-
mand for it and it will probably go 70
a dollar and half pint"
But what does all this talk meanT'

"a flying machine! What the Old

chine?"

effort for me to go downtown shop

and the street car is always crowded.

Mr.. BowSer.
"But you must see that with the
witchhazel and my flying machine, we
should be nicely fixed. If / fell out of

we would have the remedy right in
the house to cure me. Remember,
that is my birthday present, MIR.
