An Unfailing Way
to Danish Hairs
Beauty Notos)

Ugly hairy growth can be removed
in the privacy of your home if you
get small original package of delatone
and mix into a paste enough of the
powder and water to cover the hairy
surface. This should be left ON the
skin about 2 minutes, then removed
and the skin washed and every trace
of hair will have vanished. No harm
or inconvenience can result from this
treatment, but be sure you buy real
delatone.

Stop That Ache!

Don't worry and complain about a bad back. Get rid of that pain and lameness! Use Doan'S Kid ney Pills. Many people have used them and know how effec- tive they are. Ask your neighbor. Here's a convincing case:
 Mrs. M. s. Quinliven. Adonis Ave-, Box No. 194 Miami, Ariz.. says: About six years ago l was in bad condition with kidney trOu- ble. I thought my hack would never stop aching. If tried to bend over, sharp, darting, knife like pains caught me in my back and I would get so dizzy, 1 could hardly walk about. My kidneys were weak and didn't act as they should. 1 tried different reme- dies, but they didn'thelp me any Finally, I used Doan's Kidney Pills and they helped me immedi- ately. Before long Doan's re- moved all signs of the trouble I can't say too much in praise of this remedy. Price 60c, at all dealers. Don't simply ask for a kidney remedy-get Deans Kidney Pills-the same that Mrs.

FRoS SIMPLE TO COMPLEX
Much Difference Between old Amer ican Tavern and CaraVansary of
 the Present Day.

Nothing illustrates more glaringly the advance of our civilization than our notion of hotel Fifty years ago an American hotel was little more than "a tavern in the town" Food was on sale there for man and beast, and a place to sleep was provided. An incidental drink might be obtained by the thirsty; but a cigar, a newspaper and a shine for his dusty shoes were considered frills, but almost necessary frills, which were grudgingly provided by the innkeeper. There the service ended, William Allen White writes in Judge.
 Today, the American hotel is equipped to supply the various wants of the traveller in a complex and sO- phiSticated civilization. The marvel of the newest Aladdin's palace, now building in Chicago, is not that it will cost $15,0OO,O00, nor is it that the structure will provide 5000 guests with rooms and bath. The marvel of it is the features quite outside Of the business of feeding and housing the traveller; entirely beyond tEe func- tions of the tavern of our grardfath- CTS. The Chicago hotel in question will include under its roof conven- tion hall seating 4,000; an exposition floor covering 35,0OO square feet; a banquet hall seating over thousand and an auxiliary feeding room where $500 people may be seated to eat. Nebuchadnezzar'S feast could be hid den in one corner of it. Lucullus could run his band into a p:irate dining room. where a thousand seats are pro- vided And yet, when the St. Law renee canal is completei and Chicago thereby becomes one of our leading ocean ports, and when some future Augustus decrees that all the world shall be taxed, and vixen the motor caravans assemble thece by land and the fleets come sailing into port, doubtless there will be no room at the inn, and away from the bright lights. out of the blare of the bands there. in some lowly garage, the only persons of consequence in the throng will bring forth the prOtagonist of the new gospel. The great hotel always has been an Institution of pride, but ii never has produced the leaders who move the world forward.

WAS FAMOUS GAMBLIfIG HALL EI Dorado, in San Francisco's Early Days, Stood on Site of Present
 Hall of Justice.

Some facts of interest in the early history of San Francisco have been re- called by old timers in that city in connection with the completion a short time ago of the new hall or jus tice which replaces the structure de strOyed during the great earthquake and fire of April, 1906. The new edi fee, a substantial and dignified stone structure, is on Kearny street, oppO- site Portsmouth square. In the fa- nous days immediately following the discovery of gold in California when San Francisco suddenly became the home of all sorts and conditions of men, the plot now occupied by the stately hall of justice was the site of the celebrated Jenny Lind gambling hall and of the Jenny Lind theater
 One of the romantic figures in San Francisco during that period was Thomas McGuire, a native of Ireland and one of the pioneer theatrical man. agers on the Pacific coast. He was associated with amusement activities for more than quarter of century, starting in 1850, when he converted portion of the Parker house on Kearny street, facing what is now Portsmouth square, but then known as the Plaza, into a theater which was named the Jenny Lind It was burned on May 4 1S51 but was immediately rebuilt and reopened by Mcguire as the Jenny Lind theater No. 2.
 Hard times seemed to follow Ma guire, for the second theater was burned to the ground a few months later. He at once rebuilt it as the Jenny Lind No. 8, but of brick instead of wood, and it had successful ca reer for many years. The city of San Francisco purchased the property for S2O000O and used the old building as a city hall until 1896, when it was torn down and the hall of justice erect ed which was destroyed by the great earthquake.
 The El Dorado gambling hall, which occupied part of the adjoining ground was famous during the gold fever days for the many fortunes which were won and lost there. In those days most of the gambling was done through th use of gold dust or gold coin, papeI money being little regarded. After a night of it at the EldOradO many (. the habitues are known to hay amassed sudden fortunes or to have gone out financially ruined.
 To-day these old buildings and the associations which grew up around them" said one of the old San Fran cisco habitants recently, "are mere memories, but it is interesting to trace the deeds of those who built them and lived and acted their parts of the great human drama within their walls. Time has wrought a great change in San Francisco, but there still remain some traces. however faint, of the pc riod when her citizens were forming young but thriving municipality, which, after many diversities and ad- ventures, grew to become the great western city of the present day."

THE ISLAND OF CONTENT


IN the good old times, before
the evil days had fallen upon the
rulers of the earth-when king
was a king for a that-therc
lived, on a small island in big
ocean, rich but honest sover-
eign who was literally monarch
of all he surveyed. All that he
had to do was to climb to the
top of a beautiful mountain, th,'
pride and joy of the whole do
main. This was not so easy as
it might seem for the mountain
was high and steep. Even the
mountain goat was considerably
winded' by the time he reach
ed the half way place = the
beautiful plateau where tn e
grass was thick and green and
OF a juiciness especially desirable
to the palate, or wherever it is.
a goats sense of taste may be
located.
William the Discoverer, first
ruler of this kingdom, made this
hard and dangerous ascent. His
tory records that when, weary
and worn, he reached the noun
tain top, he was filled with rap
ture and astonishment at the
wonderful scene presented. So
clear was the atmosphere that
he could see for miles and miles
in every direction. The entire
island in all it's grandeur and
loneliness lay revealed. 1t is told
that he fell on his knees and
prayed earnestly that he might
be given the wisdom of Solomon
to rule wisely and with justice,
and he named his kingdom the
Island of Content. God answer
ed his prayer, and William the
DiScOverer is known to this day
as wiser than all the kings that
came after him. Every king
was called William, but each
had a descriptive name-therc
were William the Good, William
the Fierce, William the Silent,
and son on. The last king, Will
liam the Tactful, is the one about
whom this story is written. HIS
father was William the Learned.
The adventures connected with
the discovery of the island would
make a story in itslf and one
much too long to be given IN
this narrative. Suffice it, then,
to say that its history dates
back to the time of that
erratic and much married mon
arch, Henry the Eighth. 1t
was after the execution of poor
Katherine Howard and, it seems,
for the moment King Henry hap
pened to be out of a wife. He
looked about him and his dis
corning and approving eye fell
upon the beautiful Margaret
Rutland, and maid of honor of
his late queen. He at once mark
ed her in his minds eye for
his dear sixth, and being a man
of action, who wants what he
wants when he wants it," he
promptly made known his wishes
to the fair lady of his choice.
But even kings sometimes have
their dissapointments.
1t was, of course, inevitable
that one so gifted, so beautiful,
and withal so charming as the
Lady Margaret, should have
many suitors. Among them was
Sir William Douglas, noble
man at the Kings court, rich,
young, handsome and honorable,
who had made the most violent
seige for the possession of her
heart, and with such remarkable
success that the result was Gun
conditional surrender. " Small
wonder then, that when the
