She Spent Most of Her Hours in the Garden.
BEAUTY
When Older Brother first called her
Beauty the whole family laughed.
That was a rare compliment to Older
Brother’s wit, for the family was one
seldom given to mirth. But when they
looked from the thin, pinched little
face, with its buttermilk expression,
down the angular young body to the
too long legs, and back again to the
straggly hair the nickname created for
the girl by Older Brotuer was so in
congruous that even Mother, who had
never wanted any one of her six chil
dren (least of all Beauty) could not
help laughing outright. Naturally
Older Brother was much pleased with
himself and saw to it that the name
clung to the little girl all through the
days of her childhood.
The years that came and went made
Beauty no less a misnomer, for the
girl’s face grew smaller and more
pinched and more sour with every one
of them. The youngest and least wel
come of all the unwelcome six at
home she was always pushed aside to
shuffle for herself as best she might,
getting but the frazzled end of every
family deal. In school things were no
better. Other children called her
Beauty and roared with laughter until
the girl designated by the name al
ways slunk unhappily away to some
far corner where no one would find
and taunt her.
So Beauty grew up for all the world
like an unlovely, scraggly little weed
crowded in among hardier plants which
never gave her room to thrive and be
healthy.
• • * • •
When The First Man met her, and
heard someone call her Beauty he fol
lowed the earlier example of her fam
ily. That is he laughed—almost in
Beauty’s very face. And whenever he
was alone and thought of the ungainly
young woman with her sour face, he
laughed again.
Then to keep up his reputation for
doing odd things The First Man paid
court to Beauty.
The girl’s family was thrown almost
into cachinnating fits, and The First
Man’s friends said he must be crazy,
all of which made him the more deter
mined in his attentions.
One day when he was in a particu
larly spiteful and contrary mood The
First Man asked Beauty to marry him,
and the girl, who was every w ! hit as
resentful of the gibes and jest of his
friends and hers said yes.
When they were married they led a
cat and dog life, which was quite to
have been expected. The First Man
called his wife Beauty with a sneer,
and she told him in turn that she had
married him for spite and hated him
cordially, all of which was true enough
to be sure.
One day The First Man told her that
he was going away for a long time.
He said her face had made him sick;
that he couldn’t stand it any longer.
She spat back a sharp retort, and he
went. v
After a long while Beauty received
a letter from The First Man telling her
he never intended to come back. She
loked in the mirror at her buttermilk
face and told herself quite honestly
that she didn’t blame him in the least,
and straightway got her divorce.
*••*•••
It was different with The Second
Man. Beauty never knew how it hap
pened that he gravitated to her unless
it was, as he said, that there Is always
something away down in the soul of
every woman which some time or an
other draws her mate to her.
He got down to the causes of the
caustic temper of Beauty when he
first met her, and learned that her soul
was asleep because there had been no
love in all her ilfe to awaken it. So
when they were married he just loved
her. He made his home the most
radiant place Beauty had ever seen in
all her young life through the tender
ness of his smile, and the gentleness
of his presence. He helped her make
a garden in which the flowers seemed
only to need his touch to make them
grow more luxuriously than in any
other garden she had ever seen, and
the young wife was happy because she
spent most of her hours in the garden,
either working among the flowers or
listening to the resonant voice of The
Second Man as he read to her from
some old and wonderful volume, of
which he had hundreds.
Beauty was so absorbed in her new
life that she never stopped these days
to look In the mirror and talk to her
self in tones of disgust. The divinity
within her had been touched by an
other divine spark, and fanned by the
power of love into a sculptor. And
this sculptor had remolded the
peaked little face of Beauty into the
countenance of a woman so lovely
that those who laughed themselves al
most sick when Older Brother first
gave her the name of Beauty looked
at her now with something of awe
mingled in with their wonder.
But so busy was Beauty in loving
and being loved that she did not notice
them nor hear the things they said,
and when at last motherhood complet
ed the work The Second Man had be
gun, and he knelt beside her as she
sat in a great arm chair with the little
new soul cradled in her arms, and
whispered "Beauty” in a tone akin to
reverence, her laughter sounded like
the gurgle of a cooing brook, and her
eyes shone like two stars.
One day The First Man came back
from abroad. When he saw Beauty
for the first time he did not know her.
Then he was told that it was she and
he said a miracle had been wrought.
"Aye,” answered the man to whom
he spoke, “the miracle of love.”
Lamps of Early Times.
Lamps were in general use among
the Jews, Greeks and Romans, and
the other great nations of antiquity,
but they were of the rudest descrip
tion, and consisted for the most part
of a simple vessel which held oil,
grease or wax, from the surface of
which projected a wick.
The light obtained was of the fee
blest description, the flame had no
protection whatever from the wind,
and the smell which arose could only
have been rendered endurable from
the fact that “use is second nature.”
The Greeks and Romans lavished
much artistic excellence upon their
lamps, making them w'ith one wick,
two wicks, or 30 or 40 wicks. But
they did not improve their construc
tion one step, and to all practical in
tents and purposes they were no bet
ter than the saucer of tallow with its
floating cotton which may yet be
found flaring and guttering and smok
ing in some of the out-of-the-way cor*
ners of our own far western land.

Russian Soldiers Wear Paper Shirts.
Shirts made of paper in Japan are
in regular use in large quantities for
the Russian army. They proved
their worth during the winter cam
paign in Poland and East Prussia. The
paper used is made from mulberry
bark. Paper clothing known as kamike
has long been in use among the Jap
anese. Such clothing is not only cheap,
but most serviceable, its only draw
back being that it cannot be washed.
The paper is very soft and warm, but
has little "size.” For this reason a
thin layer of silk wadding is placed
between two sheets and the whole
quilted when it is to be used for shirts
or other clothes.

OFFICER CARROLL CURED
OF BAD CASE OF ECZEMA
He writes from Baltimore as follows:
"I am a police officer and had long
suffered from a bad case of Eczema of
the hands and had to wear gloves all
the time.
"I was under treatment by eminent
physicians for a long time without
success. Last summer Hancock's Sul
phur Compound and Ointment were
recommended to me and my hands im
proved on the first application. After
a week’s trial I went to the Johns
Hopkins Hospital to have my hands
treated with X-rays. Under their ad
vice, I continued to use your Sulphur
Compound and Ointment for 6 or 8
weeks, and at the end of that time my
hands were cured. I cannot recom
mend your preparations too highly.”

What Holds a Man.
Good men are attracted and held not
alone by salaries, but by the conditions

This board has been noted also for its
esprit de corps and enthusiasm for its
work. These desirable qualities, the
report states, were obtained by select
ing the most suitable available men
for the leading positions, giving great
weight not only to technical fitness,
but also to those personal qualifica

A Fellow Feeling.
"All sorts and conditions of men
have excellent explanations for their
position in life," said the senator. “A
tramp, ’however, came under my ob
servation who had no illusions about
the cause of his own condition. A
fine-looking and fashionably dressed
woman had just alighted from her
limousine at the hotel entrance and
was suddenly approached by this shab
bily dressed man, who requested a
dime. 'N’o, I have no money to spare
for you,’ she said. ‘I do not see why
an able-bodied man like you should
go about begging.’ 'I s’pose, ma'am,’
replied the lazy tramp. It's fer about
the same reason that a healthy woman
like you boards at a hotel instead of
keepin’ house.’ ” —Harper's Magazine.
FINDS A CURE
FOR PELLAGRA
Harvey, La.—Mrs. S. W. Spruiell, of
this place, writes: “I suppose it will be
a great pleasure to you to know that' you
cured my child. She had pellagra very
bad and the doctor said she never would
get well. She is well of pellagra and
looks fine.
“You may use this letter as a testimon
ial if you wish. Great benefit have you
done my daughter, Mindie Abrams."
There is no longer any doubt that pel
lagra can be cured. Don’t delay until it
is too late. It is your duty to consult the
resourceful Baughn.
The symptoms—hands red like sunburn,
skin peeling off, sore mouth, the lips,
throat and tongue a flaming red, with
much mucus and choking; indigestion and
nausea, either diarrhoea or constipation.
There is hope; get Baughn’s big Free
book on Pellagra and learn about the
remedy for Pellagra that has at last been
found. Address American Compounding

Ostriches Cheaper These Days.
It helps one to realize the South Af
rican slump in ostriches, as shown
by the sale of a full-grown bird for
three pence at Grahamstown, when
one recalls former prices. In the
early days of ostrich farming a chick
newly out of the egg would sometimes
fetch £lO, and £SOO has been
paid for a good pair of grown birds.
But those were the days when one
plucking of a single bird would bring
in £25, and of late years prices
have not ruled so high—you could get
quite a good pair of ostriches for £l2.
Ostrich farming dates from about
1807, and brought many a pioneer a
fortune when it first began.—London
Chronicle.

INFANT MORTALITY is something frightful. We can hardlr realize thafc

We do not hesitate to say that a timely use of Castoria would save a
majority of these precious lives. Neither do we hesitate to say that many
of these infantile deaths are occasioned by the use of narcotic preparations.
Drops, tinctures and soothing syrups sold for children’s compleiuto contain
more or less opium or morphine. They are, in considerable quantities,
deadly poisons. In any quantity, they stupefy, retard circulation and lead
to congestions, sickness, death, Castoria operates exactly the reverse, but
you must see that it bears the signature of Chas. H. Fletcher. Castoria
causes the blood to circulate properly, opens the jf

In my own life, as I wander farther

easier and easier to find contentment
without the riches of the world. Leave
me imagination, and I shall still be
rich; but give me all the wealth of
