Note Not Exactly What
Perkins Had Expected

Perkins, the waiter, gazed at the pic
ture postcard that had just arrived for
him. Then wave of purple assembled
his rotund neck and spread over his
face. The hallbOy who had brought
him tn, card burst into fits of laughter.
"You little hooligan!" gasped Per-
kins. "What the"
"Why, what's the matter?"
Natter" spluttered Perkins. sDo
you remember that Dragging, swank-
ing American who left here last week
/ waited on him hand and foot, and
when he left he said he wouldn't in
suit me by offering me few paltry
shillings, but would send me a note
when he got to town."
"Has he sent you banknote,. them"
asked the boy.
"Not much!" gasped the Infatuated

"Then I decided to try California
Fig Syrup, and the results surprised
me. Her bowels started working i'm
mediately, and in little or no time
she was eating so she got to be a
pest at the table, always asking us
to pass things. Her weight increased,
her color improved and she began to
romp and play again like other chill
dren. Now she's the, picture of
health, and strong as boy"

California Fig Syrup acts surely and
quickly to cleanse your child's stom-
ach and bowels of the souring waste
that is keeping her half-sick, bilious,
sallow, feverish, listless, weak and
puny. But it's more than a laxative.

lorsed by physicians for so years.

News Sheet for Tramps
Published in England

Appearance of the Abraham-man's
News, the new Birmingham (England)
news sheet for tramps, has not only
originated one of the unique publica-
tons in the world. but also revealed
a language that has a place alone.
"Abraham-man" is slang for vaga-
bond. The paper is a single sheet of
typed matter, evidently produced on
a cheap duplicating machine. The
price is one "flach," the equivalent of
two cents. The newspaper contains
information about "Irishmen's thea
tiers" (prisons) and has guide for the
blackberry swagger" (hawker) and
other itinerant visitors. The best of
the 'wool-holes" (workhouses) are
given honorable mention, and all the
''ganny walls" Gowns where the police
dislike hawkers and tramps) are list

is informed where he can loan chalked
pictures.

Music in History

The history of music goes back to
antiquity. Even the primitive races
have some forms OF music and in
ancient Egypt, Assyria, Greece,
China, ETC., there was considerable
development of music and musical
instruments. There are records OF
the harp in Egypt before 5000 B. G.
OF course it is. impossible to say who
was the first musical composer or
when music was first composed.
