PAUL BACHELLER.
NEW YORK, May 8 Like the lit
tle child of the fable, who wanted the
moon and thought he hari it when
he saw it reflected in a looking glass
was Paul, the 7-year-old son of Ir
ving Bacheller, who made a perilous
ascent half way tip Mt. Vesuvius for
the purpose of securing a piece of a
low-hanging cloud, wringing it out
and bringing it back to his mother
in a basket
But Paul, who Is home with his
mother and lather from abroad,
found the journey too much for him.
and W’lnen half way up the steep side,
was found by a Government guard
and carried back, sound asleep, to his
parents' villa
For dayH. Mr. Bacheller said the lad
had been watching the low hanging
clouds, and saw no reason in the
world why he couldn’t go up to the
top of the smoking mountain ami
grab a piece or two of them. His
father, on one pretense or another,
postponed the trip from day to day.
One morning he woke to find the lad
missing.
Early that morning the little fellow,
armed with a basket, had left the
villa alone and started the long climb.
He avoided a number of guards, but
finally he could keep his eyes open
no longer, and dropped from sheer ex
haustion. He was found some time
later by the guard peacefully asleep,
still clutching the basket.

The ponies are here.
Just now they are the talk of the

Scores of horseflesh experts have
looked i hem over and pronounced
them the best dozen ever seen in At

All day long the pen in the auction
mart where the Shetland* are kept
is the center of interest. Dealers,
fanciers, even the hostlers, g<> out. of

The twelve ponies for the Georgian

shipment ever received in Atlanta.
Ordinarily, not more than a half doz- j

So when our photographer linen

"Lady Bess Worth $350. M
“Gent.'erm n, that pony, right up in

would be worth $350. Fine ponies,
as fine a lot as I ever saw "
Soon after their arrival, one of
Atlanta’s expert veterinarians went
to the yards with the Georgian and
American representatives. He looked
at their teeth; tested their sight,
made them run briskly and then
listened to their breathing; poked'
Inquisitive fingers Into places where
h pony might not be all right to see
iT the little fellows would wince.
They didn’t wince; their wind was
all light; they had good vision ami
hearing and all were in perfect
health.
“Sound as dollars" is hi* verdict,
and the oldest is only four, most of
them tire two years old. You know,
h Shetland does not stop growing un

The ponies were happy to have the
exercise they got while under Inspec

legs are slim and dainty as any thor

ness, and some are broken to saddle,

Everyone who sees them will want
one. the only difficulty is to make
a choice.
And remember, they will be given;
away, with beautiful carts and har

Surprise You.
A low state of the general health
is now the accepted cause of back
wardness In children. So in the case
of a backward child it is best to look
toward building up its health. It will
usually be found that the main trou
ble is in the food, in lack of assimi
lation and digestion. Hence care
should be taken in the. kind of food
given to the child. This, with plenty
of air and exercise, should bring about
a change for the better.
Watch the conditions of the bow
els, to note whether the waste is be
ing passed off or not, or whether it
is being passed too freely. If either
condition prevails give a small dose
of that gentlest of all laxative-tonics.
Dr. Caldwell's Syrup Pepsin. Thou
sands of mothers will testify to the
wonders it has wrought in the lives
of their own children, and for that
reason legions of families like those
of Mrs. J. E. Brunty, 1903 Ninth Ave.,
Nashville. Tenn., are never without it
in the house. Mrs. Brunty writes:
"Harry had always been constipated
until I gave him Dr. Caldwell’s Syrup
Pepsin. I am certainly going to keep
this medicine In the house fn future,
for I know r it to be good.’’ It is pleas
ant to thegtaste and so perfectly safe
that it is given to infants, and yet is
equally effective for grown people. All
druggists sell it. and the price is only
fifty cents and one dollar a bottle, the
latter for families who need it regu
larly.
HARRY BRUNTY.
Syrup Pepsin has no equal as a cure
for constipation, indigestion, bilious- x
ness, headaches, sour stomach. £as on
the stomach, liver trouble and kindred
complaints It has so many advan
tages that those who once use it for
ever after discard cathartics, salts,
pills and other coarse remedies, for
they are seldom advisable and should
never be given to children.
If no member of your family has
ever used Syrup Pepsin and you would
like to make a personal trial of it be
fore buying it in the regular way of a
druggist, send your address—a postal
will do—to Dr. W. B. Caldwell, 417
Washington Street. Monticello, 111.,
and a free sample bottle will be mailed
you.
