PAUL BACHELLER.
NEW YORK. May 8 Like the lit
tle child of the fable, who wanted the
moon and thought he had it when
he saw' it reflected in a looking glass,
was Paul, the 7-year-old son of Ir
ving Raoheller. who made a perilous
ascent half way up Mt. Vesuvius for
the purpose ot securing u pieqe of a
low’ hanging cloud, wringing it out
and bringing it back to bis mother
in a basket.
Rut Paul, who is home with his
mother and lather from abroad,
found the journey too much for him,
and when half way up the steep side
was found by a Government guard
and carried back, sound asleep, to his
parents’ villa.
For days, Mr. Bacheller said the lad
had been watching the low hanging
clouds, and saw no reason in the
W’orld why lie couldn't go up to the
top of the smoking mountain and
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,
arn.ed with a basket, had left the
villa alone and started the long climb.
He avoided a number of guards, but
flnaJIv he could keep his eves open
no longer, and dropped from sheer ex
haustion. He was found some lime
later by the guard peacefully asleep,
still clutching the basket.
ODDITIES
The ponies lie here.
Ju*f now they are the talk of the
stockyards out Marietta Street.
Scor.s or horseflesh experts have
looked them over and pronounced
them the best dozen ever seen in At
lanta.
All day long tho peri in the auction
mart where the Shetland* ar* 1 kept
is the center of interest. Dealers,
fanciers, even the hostlers, go out of
their way see the ponies, for they
are something of a novelty at the
yards.
The twelve ponies for the Georgian
and American make up the largest
shipment ever received In Atlanta.
Ordinarily, not more than a half doz
en Shet lands a year are handled
through here
So when our* photographer linen
them up In one of Die sneels and lintl
them pose for a. picture, there was
an interested group that threatened
to atop traffic.
A prosperous looking planter, here
to buv mules, looked them over and.
picking out “l.adv Bess.” said
“Lady Beat Worth $350. ’
‘’Gentlemen, that pony, right up in
my home town. I.exingtoli, Kentucky,
would be worth $350. fine ponies,
as fine a lot as I ever sav.
Soon after their arrival, one of
Atlanta's expert veterinarians ",-nt
t., the yards with the Georgian and
American representatives. He looked
at iheir leeth; tested their sight,
made 1 item run briskly and then
listened to their breathing; poked
inquisitive fingers into places where
a ponv might not be ail right to see
if tile* little fellows would wince.
They didn't wince; their wind was
all right; they had good vision and
hearing and ail were In per feci
health.
''Sound as dollars” is ins verdict,
•and the oldest Is only four, most of
them are two years old. You know,
u Shetland does not stop growing un
til | 1P 's five. They’ll grow up with
the children.” A
The ponies were happy to have the
exercise they got while under inspec
tion They kicked up playful heels;
jumped friskily around, and rubbed
muzzles on I he visitors' sleeves. Kvl-
dentiy they are used to being petted,
and expect a lot of it.
All Broken to Harness.
Some are black, some are sorrel
SOOIH are bays, and some are marked
with white. They have great shag
gy manes, and “bangs" over their
eyes in true Shetland style. Their
legs are allm and dainty as any thor
oughbred'.. All are broken to har
ness, and some arc broken to saddle,
I oh.
Everyone who sees them will want
one, ttie only difficulty Is to make
a choice.
And remember, they will be given
away, with beautiful carts and har
ness. to tlie boys and girls who win
in the Georgian and American con- j
test, already tinder way.
It's time to stall, if you want one
of the prettiest ponies that ever
came South of the blue grass.

Continue It for Only a
Brief Period and the
Good Results 'Will
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 ig in the food, ip lack of assimi
lation and digestion. Hence e are
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. K. 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 in future,
for I know it to be good.” It is pleas
ant to the taste 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.
, j
HARRY BRUNTY.
Syrup Pepsin has no equal as a cure
for constipation, indigestion, bilious- .
ness, headaches, sour stomach, gas 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, Ill.,
and a free sample bottle will be "mailed
you.
