DIGNITY NOT YET ATTAINED
Latest Arrival Evidently Had to Wait
Before Her Age Could Be
Matter Of Notice.

The open season for park diver
slons being at hand, the Man Who
Likes the Outdoors took seat ON
park bench and awaited events. Men,
women, children and even dogs and
cats respond to him without conscious
effort on his part, SO there was moth
ing surprising about 1t when little
girl walked up to him and climbed
upon the bench at his side.
my name is Frances" she said
fearlessly. whats yours?"
Before the NJ. w. L. o. had time to
reply another smaller child ran up
and began pulling Frances dress, so
he asked:
us this your little sisterT
"Yes," replied Frances. "Her name
Is Minnie. That is our daddy over
there on the bench" and she Indicated
him with wave of her hand
How old are your" the, NJ. w. L. o.
asked
I'm SIX" Frances answered proud
ly, then, with slight touch of dis
daln, she added, nodding toward the
little Minnie, "she's only three"
The NJ. w. l.. o looked at the two
little girls and was about to ask an
other question when Frances said, this
time somewhat confldentially:
"Ive got another sister at home"
"Oh, have your" the NJ. W. l.. o. re-
sponded. us she older than your"
The little girl made an expressive
gesture.
"She hasn't any age" she said in a
matter of fact way, "she's Just born"

PECULIAR MAY DAY SPORTS
Diversions in "Merrle England" That
Went Out With the Rise Of
Purltanlcal Ideas.

In London in olden times the chin
ney sweeps had May day celebra-
ton of their own. They gathered In
small bands, Enthusiastically dressed,
usually with woman smartly dressed
and glittering with spangles. One
strange figure In the group man
concealed In frame Of herbs and
flowers, called Jack In the Green"
All these persons strolled the streets
stopping to dance to the tune of u
fife and drum and collect pennies
from the OnlOokers. This chimney
sweep observance of the day was the
last Of the May day celebrations Of
the sort In England.
AS a part Of the old English cele-
bration of May day there was a dis
tlnct set of sports meant to repre-
sent the adventures of the legendary
Robin Hood and known as the robin
Hood games" Most of the charac
tiers mentioned In the Robin HooC
legend were portrayed in these game
and there were archery and quartz
staff contests.
In Puritan times In England, Ma!
poles were upr0oted and the May
day customs came into dlsuse.

PRIZE MARK TWAIN'S LETTER
Humorist's Order for Barrel Of Sloan
Water 10 Treasured In Small
Town Of Missouri.

No documentary biography Of Mark
Twain will have much Of a sale In
Excelsior Springs, Mo, which does not
include a letter written by him In 10
early 'SOs ordering barrel Of Sloan
water. Excelsior Springs hasn't any
proof that Twain ever drank the
water, but, just M the folks Of the
little town Of Florida, Mo-, will point
out to the stranger the place where
Samuel l.. Clemens was born, and the
people Of Hannibal will lead him past
the house IN which the humorist spent
his boyhood, so will the old timers Of
Excelsior Springs take him into the
Offices Of the water company and, with
surprising pride, spread out before
him a time-yeIlowed page which bears
the following message:
"Messrs. Fish and Henry-Gents:
have seen the advertisement Of your
springs. You say the water cures
Brlghts dlsense, diabetes, rheumatism,
govt, liver complaint, bronchitis and

sides being Incomprehenslble. Since
when, pray, was young woman's
fortune an obstacle to her getting
a husband? Explain yOurself-if you
can"
And Charlotte, with n good deal OF
roundabout verbiage and hesitation
and DEPRESSION, did explain. She was
I'm love with John Fenton and he was
I'm love with her, but John was poor
and had scruples about marrying
rich girl. Therefore Charlotte pro-
posed to divest herself Of her wealth.
ITS only my hateful money that
stands between us and-happiness,"
she explained "And thought 1t would
be so easy to fix that"
"Hum" said the lawyer. Hum
And what is this remarkable young
mans occupation and addressi" Char
lotte gave the required address and
stated that John was mining en-
gineer.
"Now look here, Charlotte" said
Norton, II think you are both as mad
as March hares But having handled
you on my knee as baby, and been
your guardian ever since the death Of
your parents, / will talk with tho
young idiot Of the second part and see
what can be done" Charlotte gave
the old lawyer a resoundlng kiss on his
bald forehead and tripped away full
Of hope. Her guardian never had de-
MED her anything, and she was con-
stantly resorting to him in her per
plexites Her Aunt Matilda, with
whom she lived In an old brOwnstone
house In a side street below Madison
square, was d dear old soul, but per-
fectly spneless-a nebulous old maid
whom Charlotte simply bewlldered.
Lawyer Norton wrote note to John
Fenton requesting him to call at his
office at a certain hour next day. John
knew that Norton was CharlOttes
guardian and foresaw what the inter-
view would be about.
SO when Fenton appeared at the ap-
pointed time at Lawyer Norton's office
he was anything but at his ease. His
scruples with regard to CharlOtte's
wealth rather pleased the old lawyer,
who had been somewhat anxious lest
some beguiling wOoer who had one eye
on the fortune and the other on the
girl. should capture his wards fancy.
"Well. young man." said Norton.

Solved the Difficulty.

A prominent movie" director says
that there Is at least one advantage In
the income tax.
I'VE were casting for picture, and
we wanted particular man for GER
tain part. This man had evidently
forgotten that common sense has en-
tered the motion picture field, be-
cause he insisted upon the most exor-
bltant salary that could be lmag-
lned
Negotiations were apparently over
and the discussion became general.
Finally this actor complained bitterly
Of the amount that he had had to
pay in income tax. We did some
quick mental figuring and found that
the return he had made to the govern
menl was about half Of what he
should have made had he received
the salary that he insisted he had
been getting.
"Tll tell you what III do said;
I'm give you the same salary that
you told the government you got"

"FraIt-a-tiYgS"
Tho Famous Fruit Medicine

What is Indigestion and what
causes il? AS you know, solid food
must DO changed into liquid by The
stomach before it can be taken UP as
nourishment BY the blood.
The stomach acts as q ckum. 1t Is
covered by strong, muscular coat
and lined with a soft, delicate
membrane which secretes the Gastric
Juice which digests or dissolves solid
IooJ.
When food enters the stomach, the
muscular coat squeezes and presses
the food from end to end, or churns
it, with the gastric juice TO dissolve
or digest it.
Buff the stomach muscles arc
weak-or il the dissolying fluid is
poororiusuiicicnt then food cannot
be digestcd properly and YOU have
Indigestion.
'FyRit-GAreS' or "Ffuit Ldfo Tablets
are mcde from concentrated and intenst-
fed .fruit jliccs and tones They will
positively cure Indigestion and Dys-
pepsia because they tone up the
stomach, bowels, kidneys and skin,
and thus insure pure gastric juice

The Autocampers.

The word Of the season is a verb--to auto
camp. Everybody's doing it. The man de-
scribed in the Saturday Evening Post who LAY
awake nights for years figuring out exactly
where he was to carry the butter and how to
fry the eggs with the least commotion" has
nothing on the man who writes to Outing to
tell how he manages the baby and the refriger-
ator basket lit is the baby's modified milk
that goes in the basket, not the baby and the
other man who wants to know what clothes
his wife should wear on a hiking trip between
strictly speaking, should not be included, be-
ing so naughty and exclusive as to be practi-
cally the only people in the country who are
going somewhere and not in their own little
old car. 1t can be done with four children
see their pictures in Outing. The baby can go
safely, be we'll fed and enjoy saying Goo
to the squirrels.
Outside of Denver 500 autocampers can be
accommodated at once with the citys compli-
ments and running water. Along the Canad-
ian lakes and rivers the Lord has provided the
running water and the provincial government
allows you to camp you will, so long as
you behave yourself. You sleep on a bed
or in your car, or on the ground plus a water
proof sheet and two blankets-or you can stay
awake all night listening to the delicious quiet
and the soft little noises of the night, sleeping
can be comfortable or wild as you prefer. But
you will have to autocamp somewhere, some
how, il you want to be in style

emotions from ancestors thousands of years
back These emotions are like furnace fires
with the drafts closed by gradual civilization
These emotions. in super-civilization, will be-
come cold, dead ashes. Now they shoulder.
some Of them rarely bursting into flame in
the course of lifetime. They are the realism
that marks mans upward climb.

type-dispiaying the mechanical springtime

riculture was the only form of real civilization.

tied expression of the crop growing instinct
What OF the man who hates gardening and
flower planting? He probably likes to roam
in the woods and fish-a reversion to ances-
tors who lived by fishing and hunting. They
were roamers, unlike the soil tiller. Another
type in spring goes crazy on sport II they
could trace their family tree far enough they
would probably find gladiators and professional
soldiers at the roots. Nature intended all men
to be tillers of the soil. Wandering therefrom
we have economic and health problems that
result from congestion. From these we revolt

plant vegetables, trees, grass and flowers.

Fads and Taxation.

Those who protest against high taxes may
have had more to do with making them high
than they imagine. This is an age Of fads and
reform. We are anxious to do SO many things
to correct our neighbors and to elevate the
race that we advocate this and that without any
thought of the cost We, meet and solemnly
resolve that the life of the community demands
that this or that be done until we find the cost
OF maintaining city and national government
has risen to figure that paralyzes the average
man with establishment. Then there goes up
wall which reaches high heaven and everyone
forgets all about the things deemed necessary
a short time before, and the whole community
spends its time denouncing public officials for
making taxes so high If we paid more atten-
ton to the conduct of government from day to
day We would have less occasion to spend our
time wailing because We have to pay for the
very things We responsible for. Public
officials are always responsive to public opin-
ion. and il public opinion demands economy
day by day would get il. We get exactly
