top of 1t, and a very friendly Item
about her history mark of last June.
1t doesn't seem like Herbert to be so
complimentary to Florence, all of
sudden. Just struck me as rather Gu
rious; that's ALL"
''Why, yes" said Mrs. Atwater, ''it
does seem a little odd-when you
think of it,
Have you asked Florence if she
had anything to do with getting out
this weeks Oriole?"
"Why, no; it never occurred to me,
especially after what Aunt Fanny told
u.s." said Mrs. Atwater. "Tll ask her
now"
But she was obliged to postpone the
intended question. Sesame and
Lilies" lay sweetly in the chair that
Florence had occupied, but Florence
herself had gone somewhere else.
She had gone for a long, long ram
BILE; and pedestrians who encountered
her, and took note of her expression,
were interested; and, as they went on
their way, several of them interrupted
the course of their meditatiOns to say
to themselves that she was the most
thoughtful-lOOking young girl they had
ever seen. There was touch of visit
fulness about her, too; as of one
whose benevOlence must renOunce all
hope of comprehension and reward.
Florence, in fact, had about reached
fha fo 6o oil
hood of her receiving praise for her
thoughtful circulation of the news
concerning her aunt Julia, there was
a strong probability that dire results,
wOrdy and otherwise, would ensue.
Hence her extreme thoughtfulness.
Among those who observed her un-
usual expression was a gentleman of
great dimensions disposed in closed
automobile that labored through mud
holes in an unpaved outskirt of the
town. He raped upon the glass in
front of him, to get the drivers atten-
ton, and a moment later the car
drew up beside Florence, as she stood
in deep reverie at the intersection of
two roads.
Uncle Joseph opened the door and
took his cigar from his mouth. Get
in, Florence" he said. "I'll take you
for a ride" She started violently;
whereupOn he restored the cigar to
his mouth, puffed upon it, breathing
heavily the while, as was his wont
and added: I'm not going home Tn
out for a nice long ride. Get in."

COLD IN HIGHEST ATTITUDES
Why Volume of Heat Decreases as
One Leaves the Immediate Sur
face of the Earth.

You would have thought that the
nearer you get to the sun, the warmer
the temperature becomes, wouldn't
you? But this is by no means the
case, for it is much colder closer to
the sun when the latter is shining its
brightest than it is on the earth.
This is proved by the fact that the
highest mountains, even in tropical
countries, are perpetually snow
capped. Were the air there even
of the same temperature as that of
the plains beneath, the snow would
soon disappear.
You know, too, that the higher an
airman flies the more warmly clad he
must be If he is not to suffer from
cold.
The reason for this strange phe-
nomenon is that the rays of sunshine
Piarce through the upper layers of
the atmosphere, which offer very little
resistance to them. The earth, on the
other hand, being more solid, cannot
be penetrated so easily, with the re-
suit that we get the full effect Of the
warmth, both as the rays strike the
earth and as they rebound from it.

WHY DRUGGISTS RECOMMEND
SWAMP ROOT

For many years druggists have watched
with much interest the remarkable record
maintained by DR.. Kilmer's Swamp Root,
the great kidney, liver and bladder medi-
cine.
1t is a physicians prescription.
Swamp-Root is a Strengthening medi-
cine. 1t helps the kidneys, liver and blad-
der do the work nature intended they
should do.
Swamp Root has stood the test of years.
1t is sold by all druggists on its merit
and it should help you. No other kidney
medicine has so many friends.
Be sure to get Swamp Root and start
treatment at once.
However, if you wish first to test this
great preparation send ten cents to DR..
Kilmer & Co., Binghamton, N. Y, for a
sample bottle. When writing be sure and
mention this paper Advertisement.

The Were.WoIf Leuend.

Werewolf is a man transformed into
wolf. The belief in the transfOrIna-
tion of men into wolves or other beasts
of prey has been very widely diffused,
and in many of the rural districts of
France the ''loup-garou" is still an OBJ
ject of dread. A man who is thus
transformed, or transforms himself,
was believed to become possessed of
all the powers and appetites of wolf
in addition to his own, and to have
a remarkable appetite for human flesh.
In the Fifteenth century the belief in
were-wolves was, throughout the con-
tinent of Europe, as general as the
belief in witches, which it had then
come to resemble in many respects. In
Great Britain, where wolves had early
been eXterminated, the werewolf was
only known by rumOrs coming from
abroad.

HAVE NEW RINGWORM CURE
Roentgen Rays Are Being Used Sue
cessfuIIy in Treatment of Most
Annoying AffIiction.

Ringworm is now successfully treat
ed by removing the hair with Roent-
gen rays and then applying lotion
which will penetrate the hair follicles
and kill the parasites that are the
cause of the trouble.
Drs. Howard Fox and T. B. H. An
derson, both of the United States
public health service, described in the
Journal of the American Medical Asso-
citation the latest technique and cite a
few of the Strange results that have
followed when the new hair grew in
again.
They have observed that sometimes
golden-haired child is transformed
into brunette, a straight-haired into
a curly-headed and the kinky wool of
negroes becomes straight. But they
express much doubt as to the perma-
nency Of these changes.

feared Julia was indeed engaged,
though he knew nothing of her
fiance's previous marriage or mar
riages, or of the number of his
previous children. They had respond
ed that they cared nothing about that.
This man Crums record was a matter
of Indifference to them. All they
wanted to know was whether Julia
was engaged or nOt-and she was!
"The odd thing to me-" Mr.. Atwater
continued, to his wife, 'is where on
earth Herbert could have got his story
about this Crum's being a widower, or
divorced, and with all these children.
Do you know If Julias written any of
the family about these things and they
haven't told the rest of us?"
No" said Mrs. Atwater. I'm sure
she hasn't. Every letter she's written
to any of us has passed all through
the family, and know I've seen every
one of 'em. She's never said anything
about him at all, except that he was a
lawyer. I'm sure l can't imagine
where Herbert got his awful informa-
ton; l never thought he was the kind
of boy to just make up unpleasant
things"
Florence, sitting quietly in a chair
nearby, with copy of Sesame and
Lilies" in her lap, listened to her
mothers side of this conversation
with an expression of impersonal in
tereSt; and if she could have realized
how completely her parents had for
gotten (naturally enough) the details
of their first rambling discussion of
Julia's engagement, she might have
felt as little alarm as she showed.
WELL" said Mr.. Atwater, I'm glad
1t isn't our branch of the family that's
responsible. That's a comfort, any
how, especially as people are reading
copies of Herbert's manifesto all up
aud down the town, my clerk says.
He tells me that over at the Cole COM
pany, where young Murdock Hawes is
cashier, they only got hold Of one copy,
but typewrote it and multigraphed it,
and some of 'em have already learned
it by heart to recite to poor young
Hawes. He's the one who sent Julia

he'd not called in company, however,
but coinciGantally; and each had a
copy of the North End Daily Oriole,

BEFORE HEALTH
BREAKS DOWN
Wise People Take Pepto-Man-
gan, the Blood Builder.

The prevention Of sickness is one of
the greatest works of the public health
authorities. People are being taught
how to take care Of their bodies so
that they can avoid sickness. In
schools children are being taught ny
giene. Serious illness can be avoided
by proper care Of the health. Pale
faces, sickly bodies, loss Of appetite
and sleep, headaches and nervousness
are usually signs Of weak blood. With
poor blood, the body has no resistance.
Disease germs have an easy time of
it. People are learning the necessity
of keeping blood in good condition.
They take Guides Pepto-Mangan
when they feel run down. That keeps
blood normal so that it can resist
disease. 1t is sold in both liquid and
tablet form at drug stores. Adver-
tisement.

Noted Civil War Spv.

A woman was the most dramatic of
the Civil war spies. She was Emma
EdmOnds, who early had an ambition
to be a foreign missionary. At the
start of the war she became a nurse
with the Army of the Potomac; later
she was in the hospitals, and when
headquarters wanted a spy she volun-
teered. Eleven times Emma Edmonds
entered the Confederate lines in dis
guise and was not caught. Once she
went as a negro youth and deceived
the negroes with whom she worked.
She brought back plans of fortifca-
tons and such scraps of military in
telligence as she could pick up. AS q
negress, she was sent to Confederate
headquarters to cook, and there OBJ
tained valuable papers. During Pope's
Virginia campaign she made three Wis
Its to the enemy in ten days and re-
turned each time with valuable In

He found a use for that hand pres
emily, and, having sighed, lifted it to
press it upon his brow, but did not
complete the gesture. AS his hand
came within the scope of his gaze, lev
eled on the unfathomable distance, he
observed that the fingers held a sheet
of printed paper; and he remembered
Florence. Instead of pressing his
brow he unfOlded the journal she had
thrust upon him. AS he began to read,
his eye was lusterless, his gait slack
and dreary, but soon his whole de-
meanOr changed; it cannot be said

Amber.

Amber is a fossil resin, arising from
the exudation of coniferous trees, as
is shown by its composition and
physical properties, by its occurring in
drops and globular masses, which re-
semble the resin seen exuding from
the bark of pine trees, and by its com
mon association with fossil woods. 1t
is of clear brownish-yellow color,
varying in shade, and is often cl0uded
with irregular streaks. 1t Is usually
transparent and brittle, and burns

My Soul by Florence Atwater
When my heart is dreary
Then my soul is weary
AS a bird with a broken wing
Who never again will sing
Like the sound of a vast amen
That comes from a church of men.
When my soul is dreary
1t could never be CHEEKY
But l think Of my ideal
And everything seems real
Like the sound of the bright church bells
peal.
