A few days ago a very stout woman
stumbled into a Broadway ear arid sat
down with a bump und a groan. Her
face, except for its preponderrnce of
flesh, was comely, and one could Bee
that her blue eyes, if relieved of the
pulflness surrounding them, would be
really flne.
“Dear, dear, my heart does beat so
whenever I hurry!” the stout woman
sputtered to her friend. “I’d rattier
be dead than like this. Seven years
ago when 1 married X only weighed
102."
After marriage many women grow
slothful nnd form a habit of nibbling
fattenin'gfoods between meals. Loung
ing, corsetless, in a loose wrnpper,
bonbons, late suppers nnd late rising,
besides generous patronage of street
cars, will cushion with flesh the most
slender woman, unless some physical
idiosyncrasy rises as an obstinate bar
rier.
“Polish your nails with your Un
gers,” says a manicure. “The friction
of the flesh and the little oil wliloh ex
udes from the pores gets up quiokly a
healthy circulation beneath the nail,
making it rosy, and Ungers Impart, be
sides, a better actual polish than the
chamois rubber."
The craze for short hair has spent
itself, thank heaven t A woman with
Bhort hair now—they are few and fnr
between—is supposed to be either a
convalescent, a music hall singer, a
new arrival from a reformatory, or an
advocate for woman’s rights.
One of the best skin tonics is pure
alcohol. After washing bathe the
face with it and dry quickly. It clears
the skill of impurities and leaves it
smooth and cool as a roso leaf.
Would you lighten your hair? AVasli
it in champagne. Would you darken
it? Wash it in whisky. These are not
dyes—dear me, no!—merely aids to
nature.
Light gray will be a favorite color
for the early fall.

successful cough medicine we have
ever sold. A few doses invariably
cure (he worst oases of cough, croup

success in the cure of consumption is
without a parallel ill the history of
medicine. Since its first discovery it
has been sold on a guarantee—a test
which no other medicine can stand.

‘Papa,” suddenly piped up tho
youngest, bracing Vis sturdy little
legs for tho assault, "don’t it hurt
the walls to huve all tho old skin
scraped off ’em when you puts the
paper on? I bunked the skin off ifay,-
knee an it bluggied like fbrty, an
hurted too. Why don’t the wfdT
Muggy?” f i
There was no reply.
"Papa,” came the insistent inquiry,
“don’t the pos’office men know any
bettor than to put ‘U., S. Mail’ on
deir wagons? Mamma spanked me
norful hard when I suid ‘us’ mail
box;’ then why don’t some one spank
the pos’offlce men for suyin ‘Up Mail’
instead of ’Our Mail?’’’
Still a brief, unbroken silence.
"Papa, is the holes in baker's bread
good for little boys to live on? An
where does the baker man get- ’em?"
Papa said nothing, but dived into
the foveign news. ’
"Papa,” came the inquiry in an
awed whisper, "did God make yes
terday an todny?"
"Yes, dear."
"Don’t you s’pose then, papa, that
the reason be never comes down to
call on mamma is ’cause he is always
too busy makin tomorrows for folks
to use?"
Papa hastily turned to tho edito
rial page and said nothing.
"Papa,” came that still, small
voice, with a feeling ring in it, "how
does little boyB know when deir toes
hurts ’em? They don’t fink wif deir
feet, does they ?"
Papa fled to the baseball column
with an audible gasp.
"Papa, where does God live?"
"In heaven, son.”
“Did old Mrs. Brown go to heaven
when she died?"
"Yes. dear."
"Ain’t it norful lonesome up there
wif only old Mrs. Brown and God?”
Pajia prayed Bteadily through the
brief lull.
"Papa,” once more came tho
question from tho puzzled little
brain, "whore did Adam and Eve
buy a cradle to put Cain in?”
Pupa glared across the table at the
nurro and hoarsely gasped, “For
mercy take, Mary, take that kid to
bed before I get congestion of tbe
brain."
"Papa," came a wild shout echoing
down tiie hall ns the cavalcade
moved by, “papa, why did God
make all tho strawberries in the
summer when ev’rything’s ripe, in
stead of makin ’em in tho winter
time when there ain’t nothing else
good for little boys to cat?”
After a brilliant flash of silence
papa straightened up his wilted form
nnd sighed, “Maria, I wish you
would remind me in the morning to
go to Clarke's and buy that little
fiend a ‘Britannica Enclyclopredia’
and' a muzzle I”—Cincinnati Commer
cial Gazette.
Advertising Himself.
A satirical illustration of human
ity’s tendency to be "pleased with a
rattle, tickled with a straw” comes
from some of tho late reminiscences
of the poet Rossetti. One day he
went with a friend for a stroll
through the poorer quarters of Lon
don, nnd was greatly attracted by a
shop outside which stood a cage con
taining a curious round ball of spikes.
“Wliat is tho price of that?"
asked ho.
“Half a crown.”
"Could you get me some more of
them?"
“Certainly.”
"Well, let me have twenty tomor
row evening.”
The dealer, whose stock consisted
of a few linnets, chaffinch or two
and four or five larks, looked aghast,
and Rossetti’s friend asked in sur
prise :
“What on earth do you want with
all thoso hedgehogs?”
"I’ll put them in my garden,” said
the painter poet, "and when fellows
come to see my pictures they’ll pass
through there. ‘Look at this little
round ball I’ one of them will say.
‘Why, it’s alive? And here’s an
other, and here's a third! Why, the
garden is full of them i’ And then
they’ll be in such good spirits at the
discovery that they’ll buy my pic
tures.’’—Youth’s Companion.
Aii Innocent fiJm-Htion.
Standing on tiptoe Esther was try
ing to reach coveted articles on the
center table. At last her chubby
hands grasped a book which proved
to be a Bible. Her mother said gen
tly,'‘Little girl, you know that is a
hook you must not play with?” The
child looked up sweetly and asked,
“Oh, is that your heaven book?"—

A Little llunko Game Tlmt Acted Like •
Uuomerung ail Two Drummers.
Two Chicugo drummers who Bpent
a short vacation in tho rural wilds of
“Egypt" attempted a little bunko
game, which was partly successful,
but -.furnished u hit of experience
that will not Boon be forgotten. Tho
two Cliicagbnns, armed with double
barreled fowling pieces, invaded
“Egypt" for a few days of quiet
shooting. They made their head
quarters at a farmhouse and en
gaged the farmer to act as a guide,
At the end of two days, during
which they tramped over a vast ex
panse'of country, waded through
swamps and became tired and sore
end as hungry aB tho average mortal
ever gets without having a shot at
anything more gamelike than a chip
munk, they became discouraged and
ready to declare all bets off and aban
don the field.
Imprrfying an opportunity to con
sult wjiilu tiie old farmer was tem
porarily absent, tho two disgruntled
Nlmroda concocted a deep laid plot
to bunko the old farmer and have
some fun at his expense. A double
load of shot was poured into one of
the guns nml the echome was ready
to bo spfuug.
As the trio drew near the farm
house that afternoon ono of the Chi-
:agoanB suddenly pointed to tho
fanner’s flock of ducks and chickens
in tho barnyard and remarked:
"What'll you take to let me have
a shot at those chickens?"
“Wouldn't let you do it at any
price,” replied tho fanner. “They're
blooded cliiekous—best in these
parts."
“I'll give yon fifty cents for a
shot.”
The farmer shook his head.
“A dollar.”
Tho old man laughed. ‘ ‘No, siroe;
I wouldn’t let you shoot into that
flock for a ten dollar bill."
The ambitious sportsman said no
more, but laid down his gun and,
leaving his two companions, walked
a few rods to a water trough to wash
his hands. The Becond villain in the
play now entered upon the scene.
“Say, old man,” quietly remarked
the other Chicagoan, “here’s a
chance to have some fun with Billy.
While he isn’t looking take the ram'
rod from liis gun and draw the load
of shot,-Saving nothing but powder,
then tell him he may have a Bhot
for a dollar. Pocket the money and
see him bang away with a blank
charge."
The granger fell into the trap In-
Btantty, It was only the work of u
moment to draw the load of Bhot
from each barrel—one load from
each—but the unsuspecting farmer
of course still left a charge of shot
helow those ho extracted.
Villain No. 1 came slowly saunter
ing back. "What did you say you’d
givo for a shot at them fowls?” in
quired the farmer with an innocent
air.
“A dollar."
Well, go ahead. Give me a dol
lar and try your luck.”
The money was paid over, and the
supposed victim of a practical joke
raised his gun and fired. Instantly
that barnyard was filled with feath
ers and fluttering ducks, geese nnd
chickens. A dozen fowls were kick
ing and plunging about in their ex
piring throes.
The farmer was rooted to the spot
for a moment. Then ho slowly
walked into the house without Bay
ing a word. The two plotters gatli
ered up the fruits of their scheming,
and dividing the slaughtered fowls
between them, started to walk to
the nearest railway station, where
they intended to pass the night and
enjoy a feast. They very injudicious
ly stopped beforo the farmhouse long
enough to have a hearty laugh over
the old granger’s discomfiture. Sud
denly the farmer threw open the
door, and stepping out upon tho
porch cried out, “If a dollar a shot is
the ruling price for shootin 'round
here, reckon I’ll take a shot myself.”
Thereupon he threw a silver dollar
after the retreating drummers and
immediately followed it with a load
of bird shot. Both the jokers were
peppered, and hastily dropping their
booty they ran down the road howl
ing like hyenas. A doctor at the sta
tion made good wages during the
next three days picking bird shot out
of their anatomies.—Chicago Mail.
