MY FAVORITE STORIES
BY Irving S. Cobb

I used to be on the lecture platform nv
self. Possibly that is why appreciate the
point of little story emanating from Brit
ish sources
turned public speaker and went on tour
through England, not for profit, but with
view to uplifting the masses One Of his
first engagements he appeared, by invitation,
before the members of newly-formed pro-
TinciaI literary society
At the conclusion of his address the secre-
tary Of the organization came to him and
rendered him a check for a modest sum-
The distinguished visitor politely waved 1t
aside.
'I am not doing this for the money which
may be in it," he explained, II very much
prefer that you applied the sum to some
worthy local charity"
ooh, thank you-most generous OF you,
I'm sure" said the grateful secretary.
would you mind If we added the amount Of
his honorarium to our own special fund.-"
what is the purpose Of this special
fund.-"
"To enable us to get better lecturers next
year"
According to Tid-Bits, which is very
sprightly English publication, the official
bore Of certain London club had the
floor.
"When I was out in India" said the Of
f1claI bore Il saw a Tiger come down 10
the river but one woman, with great pres
ence of mind, spIashed some wate@ in its
face-and it skunk away"
Gentlemen" said a quiet-mannered men,
Der of the group. II can vouch for the abb
solute truth of this story. Some minutes
after the incident which our friend de-
scribed had occurred, 1 was going down to
the same river / met this tiger and, as is
my habit when meeting tiger, stroked its
whiskers Gentlemen, those whiskers were
wringing welt"

TUE COOT, sPETT, IN sEpTENTBER
BY MRS.

"A COLD wave starting in the north with
IA haiIstorm in Philadelphia and two
inches Of snow, has brought a cool
spell to Georgia. There may have been
light frost in the mountainous parts OF our
state, but nothing has been frost-bitten in
my part Of the country, as | can see. We
generally have summer weather in early
September, and very rarely cold weather be-
fore October. Once, however, We had here
a blizzard and on the third Sunday in Sep
TENDER 1856 we had killing frost and were
thus precipitated into winter temperature
with something like a shock. My husband
and myself were invited to spend an after
noon (Friday) with some friends and I left
my three-months-o baby at home with a
nurse expecting to get back within three
hours. 1t was intensely hot and l wore a
thin summer frock. Within a short time
after we reached our destination less than
two miles distant a thunder cloud came up
rapidly. The storm was furious thunder
and lightning almost incessant. Our buggy
was hitched near the front gate and the big,
strong buggy horse acted like it furiousy
was demented We had to remain under
shelter, and my husband borrowed a saddle
and started home for the barOuche, as the
rain was still coming down and it was near
Iy dark then. The infant at home was MAX
ing me very restless.
When I got back in our house found the
baby had been crying itself sick, and the
house was crowded with delegates on their
way to a Hardsheu Baptist meeting, nine
miles north Of us, coming from Paulding
and HARRISON counties. They were overtakon
by the storm and had to spend the night
with us and we had to make down pallets all
over the house, and cook for twenty or more
in this unexpected way. 1t begun to grow
cold in the night. Saturday was a windy,
raw day, getting colder all the time.
On Sunday morning, third Sunday in Sep
TENDER, 1856, the whole section was white
ioht a frozen
on the trees, everything green was blacken-
ed, late roasting ears hard as a brick, and
all garden vegetables done -siXty-eight
years ago.
Perhaps I would not have such vivid MEM
cries of the date if my experiences as a
young housekeeper had not been so eXtraor-
binary for myself.
AS it happened the little baby was all
right after her mother took her to bed and
after the delegates had retired to our spare
beds and numerous pallets for the night We
had big fires next morning, and We saw them
all depart, very glad to have been with us
under so many difficulties encountered by
themselves and ourselves. In those old days
hospitality had to be expansive and gener-
Gus, and somebody had to care for these
earnest church workers marooned by the
torrents Of rain, and vivid electrical demon
strations and we were glad to do 1t.

THE COUNTRY HOME
w. Fl. FELTON,

that the young women who enter the beauty
contests put on scant bathing suits with
naked arms and naked legs, except for the
shOrt-sleeyed and short-legged bathing suits.
The contest goes on for days, and when the
jurors have decided on the faces, the naked
limbs and the bare feet and ankles, so freely
exhibited to the public in the newspapers
and before the juries, the award is made. In
the olden time it would have astonshed So
Ciety to the breaking point. Am | correct?

CHAPTER LVIU

Found
. AVID BRETHERTON was in the draw
Iln,:n EisLn1 ,.hn1, tln

~ AVID BRETHERTON was in the draw
| J ing-room with Dora Fisher when the
bell went pealing through the house.
He had spent boring evening. Monty had
had work to do, and in his study; and
David had been left to Dora's care.
She had done her best to get up a Filtration
with him. She had sung sentimental songs
one after the other in the drawingroom
where artfully shaded lights threw up her
beauty to wonderful advantage.
David sat in big chair in the shadows,
and listened. At least, she supposed he was
listening, but, as a matter of fact, his thoughts
were far enough eWay.
Where was Mary? Day and night he
thought of her, and wondered and worried.
Now and then, when the paintive voice and
music at the piano ceased, he reused himself
with an effort and said, "Thank you-thank
you very much" in an absent sort of voice.
Dora was piqued; she rose from the piano
stool with little petulant movement.
81 believe 1 bore you; l don't believe you
like music
David protested quickly that he did. He
sat up little from his Longing position, and
tried to make conversations but Dora was dis
couraged; she had expected a better reception
from him; his evident effort to talk to her
irritated her; she answered him shortly and
snappily.
In her heart she was beginning to despair
of ever making a conquest Of this man. 1t
was her first failure, and she bitterly resented
it.
What was he made Of, she asked herself
angrily, that he stood so aloof from her? She
did not realiz6 that when man cares deeply
for one woman all the wies and seductions
Of another will pass him harmlessIy
Perhaps both were really thankful when a
diversion was created by the evening post; a
maid brought the letters and gave them to
Dora.
She sorted them through carelessly.
"Only one for you, David. 1t has been sent
on from the Red Grange
She looked at it curiously she spoke;
she handed it over to him with evident re-
luctance
MAY I open it now" asked David. His
voice sounded more awake. He broke open
the seal without waiting for permission.
Dora watched him coverty. She saw the
quick little frown that creased his brow; the
sudden start he gave.
"Anything eXcitng?" she asked archly; but
he did not seem to hear her.

BETTER THAN CALOMEL
Thousands Have Discovered Dr. Edwards Olive Tablets
 are a Harmless Substitute

Dr. Edwards Olive Tablets-th sub. stitute for calomel-are a mild but sure laxative, and their effect on the liver is almost instantaneous. These little olive colored tablets are the result of Dr. Edwards determination not to treat liver and bowel complaints with calomel.
 The pleasant little tablets do the good that calomel does, but have no bad after effects. They don't injwe the teeth like strong liquids or calomel. They take hold of the trouble and quickly correct 1t. Why cure the liver at the expense of the teeth? Calomel sometimes plays havoc with the gums. So do strong liquids, It IS best not to take calomel. Let Dr. Edwards Olive Tablets take its place.
 Headaches, "dullness" and that lazy feeling come from constipation and a disordered liver. Take Dr. Edwards Olive Tablets when you feel "logy" and heavy" They clear" clouded brain and pork up" the spirits. 15c and 30c.

Says His Prescription Has Powerful Influence
 Over Rheumatism

Mir, James 1T. Allen. of s6 Forbes s..
 Rochester N. r., suffered for years with
 rheumatism. Many times thls terrible dls-
 ease left him helpless and unable to work. He finally decided. after yearr of cease
 less study that no one can be free from
 rheumatism until the accumulated impur- tiles. commonly called uric acid deposits
 were dissolved In the joints and muscles and expelled from the body.
 With this idea in mind he consulted physicians, made experiments and finally compounded a prescription that quickly
 md completely banished every sign and symptom Of rheumatism from his system. He freely gave his discovery, which he called Allsnrhu, 10 others who took 1t.
 with what might be called marvellous suc-
 cess. After years of urging he decided
 10 let sufferers everywhere know about his
 discovery through the newspapers. He
 has therefore instructed druggists every , where to dispense Allcnrhu with the un- derstanding that it the first pint bottle l dos not show the way to complete recov- | clY he will gladly return your money without comment.
