Hankerchifs.

Hankerchiffs come by the duzzen, the
mystery being where they all go to.
They are very useful to give for pres
ents but very disappointing to receive.
Ladies usually keep their banker
chiffs in bag all mixed up with their
vanity set and things. For this rea-
son lady is more libel to sneeZe in the
air before she can get her hankerchih
than what a man is. being more IN
triSting to see than man anyways on
account of most ladies having shorter
but funnier Sneezes.
Even when ladies do find their
hankerchih in time it is proberly such
a little thing that their sneeze Is libel
to miss it anyways.
If fellows fold their hankerchif meet
" before they put 1t in their back
pockit 1t don't hardly make any diff
rents, but If they just stick 1t IN any
old ways it is libel to make a artificial
looking hump, being what genrelly
happens.
Gerls never forget to have banker
chiff and they are always eileen, while
on the other hand judging from the
looks of most fellows hankerchiffs 1t
Is a blessing that they genrelly forget
to have any.
I don't wunt any hankerchiffs for
CrissmaS
And dident wunt any last year,
But CriSsmaS will come as usual,
And so will the hankerchiffs I feer.

OUR CHILDREN
BY ANGELO PATRI.

touches young people it is everybody's
business. Children have no sense OF
the meaning or the value of money.
That must be acquired by experience.
Listening to greWn-ups is a part of that
experience, and If it is harmful in its
effects the grown people are TO blame,
not the children. If possible, keep that
sort of thing out of children's way. II
it Is not possible, tell the children the
truth, even though you have to make
a direct criticism of some friend or
neighbor. Children come first.
The eXtravagant mother does lot
Of harm. She is happy in spending
money on her children so they will out
shine the others in clothing and acceS-
series like motor cars and jewels and
furs.
"Oh, Clarie, you almost lost your fur
piecer
"Oh, that! It's only a cheap little
thing. Mother only paid SIS for it,"
That is very dangerous attitude for
a child to take, but it Is the attitude of
the mother who gave her the fur piece.
1t Is not unusual to find that this sort
of thing brings in its wake the bill coll
lectors, the sheriff and the auctioneer
Meanwhile the child subjected to this
foolish influence has to bear the brunt
of the consequences.
No matter how much money there is
in the family or how little. children
should be taught to earn and to spend.
Youth is not the time for saving in the
adult sense. Youth saves to spend. 1t
is more important that children be
| taught to spend wisely than it is that
they put so much of their allowance in
the bank first thing. Real saving is
based on sound spending.
Teach a child to look over the field
| carefully. Take time to learn where he
can get the best value for his money.
Teach him by experience the advantages
of buying things of good quality, sound
value and paying cash for 1t. Don't
teach him to buy today and pay next
month. The credit system is an adult
idea, and better left there. Teach him
TO keep a little of his allowance in re-
serve against the day when something
he very much wants is offered at a bet
ter price than usual.
That is the best way to teach child
to save. First teach him how to spend
That idea is closer to his stage oil
growth. Spending wisely demands saw
ing. and when a child saves to spend
he saves intelligently and spends wisely
usually. Don't expect too much. And
be careful Of his experience in the
money field.

Pyorrhea.

Miss L.: You may have beginning

a dentist for treatment.
There is always an infection in pyor-
rhea, but whether there is particular
germ as a cause or not is not known, so
far as know At one time it was be-
lieved to be caused by an 'ameboid Or
ganism, but that theory has not been
accepted There is some connection be-
tween pyorrhea and lack Of dental
cleaning and thorough enough home
cleaning. And there is undoubtedly
connection between pyorrhea and DELI

Brave Women and Girls of History
Mary Queen of Scots Rejoiced Execution That Her
Sorrows Were Ending.
J. P.
BY ]. p. GLASS.

A sudden impulse seized Queen Eliza
beth on February /, 1887, to have done
with all the plotting and counter-plot-
ting regarding the disposal of Mary
Queen of the Scots.
She asked her secretary, Dawson, for
the warrant for Mary's execution and
signed it.
The Earls of Kent and Shrewsbury
took the dread news to Mary on the
morning of February Z. Informed of
their arrival she arose from the bed
where she lay suffering from rheuma-
tism, received them with dignity, and
listened placidly as the warrant for her
execution, set for 8 o'clock the next
morning, was read aloud by Beale, clerk
of the council.
"I am ready to leave a world which
has been full of sorrow for me-" she
said.
She laid her hand on a Testament,
however, and swore she was guiltlesS
of the charges for which she was to die.
THAT is a popish Testament, as
worthless as the OATH" said the fanati-
cal Earl Of Kent.
ut is the true Testament" rejoined
Mary, according to my belief. Would
you give credit to my oath, my lord, If
swore on your version, which do not
accept?"
served earlier than usual. She drank
to all her servants in turn. telling them
to be constant to their religion. She
divided her jewels, money and wardrobe
between them.
1t was two hours after midnight when
she lay down for a little rest. Rising
early, she dressed in glowing crimson,
over which she threw a robe of black
satin with a white Golf. She put on a

Her rheumatism made 1t hard for her
to walk Two attendants helped her -
the door, where the sheriffS men took
their places. Thanking them, she said
cheerily, ut is the last trouble I shall
give you"
On the way to the platform, erected
in the great hall of Fotheringay Cas-
tie, her steward, Sir Andrew Melville,
! fell on his knees before her, weeping.
Weep not, good Melville" she said
but rather rejoice that an end has
! come to the sorrows of Mary Stuart"
She begged for the attendance of her
women. Kent refused. Their cries
may interrupt" he said, and added
| brutally. cay, they may be superstitious
enough to dip their kerchiefs in your
blood"
II promise they will do no such
thing" replied Mary.
The Earl of Shrewsbury here inter-
posed, and her wish was granted. She
chose Jane Kennedy and Elizabeth
Curle to go with her. -Four of her men
went, too.
The warrant was read on the scat
fold. Shrewsbury said, Madam, you
know what is to be done?"
She answered composedly, do your
duty"
After praying she arose. The exc
cutioner came to take off the black
robe.

Three Wrinkles.

Dear Miss Leeds: have three wrin-
kles right between my eyes. They are
not very deep, but would like TO get
rid of them before they become too
deeply etched. ~
Answer-After cleansing the face at
bedtime apply an oily night cream or
tissue cream across the path OF the
wrinkles. Hold the skin smoothly with
the first and second fingers OF the LETT
hand and with the fingers Of the right
hand gently massage the lines away
with a rotary, patting movement Leave
a little of the cream on overnight. In
the morning, after cleansing the race,
repeat the same movements and pat on
a mild skin tonic. Once a week have
thorough facial massage, using the oil
pack. Be sure to rest and relax your
eyes several times day. Avoid eye
strain and the worry expression, which
are probably the causes of the wrinkles.

battle for several minutes in hot boric
acid solution. Dry and apply a little
soothing salve such as boracic or zinc
ointment. Spend an hour or two each
day in the fresh air and sunshine and
take more active indoor exercise to
stimulate the sluggish circulation. Eat
wisely and include more raw fruit and
vegetables and less heavy, fried, greasy
foods. Avoid constipation. Drink sew

NANA.). -Bebe Daniels still remains
the most promising girl in the village:
Having juSts come from q pre-view OF

Daniels out Of the wreckage has rival

supplant the "It' girl in talkie vehicles
must sing and dance and be volcano
cally alluring all at the same time.
Alice Montague Is her name, and she's

La Bow has proven herself worthy of
the name-Alice White. The two pur-

selves sufficiently dangerous to each
