Little Bobbie’s Pa By WILLIAM F. KTK.lt P A took Ma & me out on the lake fishing bullheds last nlte. We stayed out on the lake a long time & It was getting lite wen we got fcoam. Ma was gittlng cross, too. Wife, sed Pa, wen we started out, you may not know It, but a bullhed Is bet ter eetlng than any other fresh water fish. A bulhead isent the prittlest thing in the world to look at, Pa sed, beeing moar or less slimy, like a eel, & with a big hed & two sharp thorns one on eech side of its neck. Its eyes are vary small & fathomless, Pa sed, like the eyes of a fat German after a picnic, & It has long whiskers that look like strips of spagetty, but wen you have caught yure bullhed & skinned him, & fried him oaver a nice wood fire, thare isent anything nicer to eet in the wide wurld. Walt till we git a boat lead of the grand fish. Pa sed, & I will treet you & littel Bobbie to a feed fit for the gods. I used to eet bullheds wen I was a littel gurl, sed Ma. My father used to catch them in the mill ponds out in Wisconsin, & if I remember rite thay was awful hard to skin & thay cer- tingly was good eeting. He used to catch them with angelworms, Ma sed. He was no sportman, sed Pa. I al ways catch them with flies. I cast for them, Pa sed. I am going to try wurms, I toald Pa. Harry Misner toald me to always catch them here in this lake with wurms, & I got sum wurms from him for nothing. A lot of good wurms will do you, sed Pa. You better talk off that hook & git one of these hackle flies on yure line. No, I sed, I am going to try the wurms. Wen we got to the place ware Pa thought thare wud be sum byllheds, we put out the ankor & Ma bet Pa a cigar aggenst a box of candy that I wud catch moar bullheds than he caught. It is like taiking candy away from a child, sed Pa, but I will take the wager. I doant beleeve you will catch a bull hed with a fly, sed Ma. Dident I tell you my father always used wurms? The bullheds thought yure father was a older brother, sed Pa. I always thought he was a kind of bullhed any way. He dident. seem to think that I wud amount to much as a son in law. That was wen you were yung & wild, sed Ma. You have improved since you got oalder, & now he likes you vary much & I doant want you to call him a bullhed, eethur. Jest then I got a bite & pulled in a nice bullhed neerly a foot long. Good for you, Bobbie, sed Ma. Keep up the good work. Look at old Ike Walton, here, throwing that fly all oaver the top of the water. Newer mind me, sed Pa .1 will git moar & bigger fish than Bobbie, & then wen he sed that I caught another one. Poor, deer husband, sed Ma. Why doant you resite the bullheds that peece of poetry you rote for the bankwet the other nite. My father used to resite peeces from Byron & Tom Moore wen he went bullhed fishing. & then I caught a awful big bullhed, that made three. We mite as well try another spot ware thay will rise to a fly. sed Pa. This spot is all rite for Bobbie, sed Ma. We will stay rite ware we are. I caught so many bullheds that I got tired, & all Pa caught with his hackle fly was the rim of Ma’s hat. Advice to the Lovelorn By BEATRICE FAIRFAX. NOT IF IT IS WORTH WHILE. DEAR MISS FAIRFAX: I am seventeen and deeply in love with a man eleven years my senior. He often asked me to go to a show, but I refused. Do you think I will lose his affection by not accepting his invitation'.’^ If he cares for you in the right way, his love is not so easily lost. You do not say why you are refusing his attentions. Use Cough Drops. "Muriel," said the old gentleman, sharply, "that young man you had in 'he parlor last night is dull of com prehension. All I had to do was to cough when the other chaps re mained too late and they would take the hint and depart. Did this one say anything when I coughed last night?” “Yes.” replied the beautiful daugh ter. "He said the next time he called he was going to bring you some cough drops.” Dark, Coarse Skin Made Soft and Fair Palmer’s SkinWhitener Postpaid^ ^QAnywhere AH Jacobs’ Stores And Druggists Gerrirsrtty. T-LT-t-T-^T-LT^i 1°] By LILIAN LAUFERTY. I HAVE seen "La Belle Dazie" and she is! Just as bewitehingly pret ty is Mademoiselle Dazie in her own dainty Hudson-breeze-swept apartment as when she twinkles her toes at you over the footlights. From her many charms, I singled out the wonderfully clear and well proportioned line of her lovely profile, the beautiful curve of the white shoulders and the soft, luxuriant hair. "Will you tell me a short cut to the acquisition of these three aiders and abettors of beauty. Mademoiselle Da zie?" I asked. "I will be glad to tel you all I know about it—and I won’t pretend that J think that is very little," said the hon est star who twinkles under the joint management of B. F. Keith and Martin Beck. "For we women of the stage have to make a study of how to be just as lovely and appealing to audiences as a hoarding of natural resources and a few additions thereto will make us. On False Hair. “About a profile—it is a good idea to own a hand glass and to view one's self side-face once In a while, for the coif fure that looks well from the front mas make you look like a caricature of a !«ap-frog game or a door-knob from tht side! Dont’ wear false hair if you can avoid it, it will cause your own locks to depart in wrath, and it will in all probability spoil the shape of your head. THE NATURAL CONTOUR OF THE HEAD IS GENERALLY WELL WORTH SHOWING—why won't more feminine persons remember that? A good masseuse to rub in a good tonic; a good brush, with your own arms to apply It faithfully, often and long, and you’ll have luxuriant locks to aid an uptilted poise in giving you a good pro file. For ‘carry the head high' is the first rule for a good profile. “Oh. and brushing your hair is fine for your arms. Calisthenics and ex ercise will generally give you rounded contours where you want them. I am pretty slender, you know, and yet X have not scrawny arm» or shoulder*. HU JITSU DTD THAT. For two years T did a jiu jitsu dance with a man who weighed half again as much as I did. but I was really and truly able to throw him through my knowledge of iho .Jap anese art. and from the beginning of that an .t noticed how my shoulders were roujjing out and developing. Jiu Mile. Dazie Tells How to Mould Beautiful Shoulders, and Points Out the Value of Poise. Beauty The Discontented Girls By ELLA WHEELER WILCOX (Copyright, 1913, by wmorican-Jour- nal-Exftininer.) D O you know what a wonder fully complicated thing a hu man being is? Every feature, every portion of your body, every motion you make, reflects your men tal organization, I know a woman past middle life who has always been on the oppo site side of every question discussed in her presence. She was agnostic with the ortho dox, reverential with atheists, lib eral with the narrow, bigoted with the liberal. Whatever belief any one expressed on any subject she Invariably took the other extreme. She loved to disagree with her fellow men. It was her pastime. Now, to walk with that woman in silence is merely to carry on a word less argument. You can not regulate your steps so they will harmonize with hers. She will be just ahead or just be hind you, and if you want to turn to the left, she pulls to the right. A promenade with her is more ex hausting than a day's labor. She is not conscious of it, and wouio Lhink any one very unreason- | able and unjust who told her ot her peculiarities. I know a woman who all her life has been looking afar for happiness and peace and content, and has never found any of them, because she did not look into her own soul. She was a restless girl, and she married, believing in domestic life lay the goal of her dreams. But she was not happy there and sighed for freedom. She wanted to move, and did move, once, twice, thrice, to different points of the United States. She was discontented with each change. She is to-day possessed of all comforts and luxuries which life can afford, yet she is the same rest less soul. She likes to read, but it is always the book which she does not possess which she craves. If she is in the library with shelves book-filled she goes into the garret and hunts in old boxes for a book or a paper which has been cast aside. If she is in a picture gallery she wants to go to the window and look out on the street, but when she is on the street it bores her and she longs to go in the house. If a member of the family is ab sent she gets no- enjoyment out of the society of those at home; yet when that absent one returns her mind strays elsewhere, seeking some imagined happiness not found here. I wonder if such souls ever find it, even in the spirit realm, or if they go on there seeking and always seek ing something just beyond. It is a great gift to learn to enjoy the pres ent—to get all there Is out of it, and to think of to-day as a piece of eternity. Begin now to teach your self this great art if you have not thought of it before. To be able to enjoy heaven, one must learn first to enjoy earth. \ Better The Gentle Art How to Be In the Great North Woods and Beautiful Lake Country of Wisconsin, Minnesota and Northern Michigan Cj There are hundreds of delightful outing places located on the direct lines of theChicagoand Northwestern Ry., any one of which is ideal for “week-end” or summer vacation outings. <J A day or two in this lake-dotted, balsam-laden region— fishing, sailing and tramping—will provide the rest and relaxation every city dweller must have at least once a year to keep in good fighting trim. <j The Great North Woods where the air is keen and tingling with the scent of the pine trees and a thousand sparkling lakes and swift flowing trout streams teeming with gamy fish can be reached com fortably in a night’s ride on the Chicago and North Western Ry. <j You can dine on the train, sleep in comfort in a luxurious sleeper and roll out in time for a crisp country breakfast in the exuberant North Country.

It is well worth the consideration of any woman who wants to develop into symmetry and strength. That and deep breathing gave me a broad, healthy singer's diaphragm, too. Oh, yes, jiu jitsu, of thee I sing! It gives a woman confidence in her power to take care of herself, and it will aid the underdeveloped woman to put a curve where she wants It and the wom an of overluxuriant figure to take off a curve or two. "I have two more little secrets that I will be glad to give you," went on the generous Dazie. ‘‘They are on the sub jects of eyes and relaxation.” For the Eyes. And very important subjects they are, so the interviewer’s heart was duly re joiced at what she was about to receive. "For eyes, witch hazel diluted as much or as little as you like and applied with a bit of absorbent cotton whenever the eyes are tired or dusty. That cleanses and relaxes them. "But about /eal relaxation, I have a theory that I most earnestly practice. Whenever fatigue threatens, I lie down flat on my back with no pillow to break the natural line of the relaxed body. Really. I fairly ‘flop.’ And there I lie with bodily tension all gone, and mind absolutely blank, and in a state of rest ful ‘suspended animation.’ And I get up rested, happy and ready to go on with the day’s work ‘I walk, in spite of the fact that most dancers think they get enough leg mo- tion and exercise in the practice of their j profession. But I don’t believe one can j have too much out-of-door life, and I ! believe in exercise, so I go out and get them both, and when I am tired, I just j relax completely, as I have told you. ‘‘I don’t sleep late, either, because ! morning hours are best for accomplish ing things.’’ And as delighted Dazie has accom- | plished so much In a short life—so much , for beauty and for art and for a willing- j ness to work and give more and more | of grace and charm to the world, I con- | elude that her "Morning Hours" really i have "accomplished things." Utterly Crushed. It was a warm, radiant summer morn ing; the birds were singing sweetly, the flowers and dewy grass shimmered in the sparkling sunlight, and there, in the park, Robert Feeler—a very junior offi cer—was doing his utmost to make a favorable impression on the pretty nursemaid, whilst the latter's small charge busily chased elusive butterflies. "Ah,” sighed the dashing Robert. "I wish you were my governess!” "So do I,” replied the girl. Hope sprang into Robert’s heart. "And what would you do with me?" he asked. ‘‘Stop your smoking cigarettes, and get your hair cut—to say nothing of punishing you for talking nonsense dur ing school hours!” Then Robert ponderously continued on his beat. > ATHENS COLLEGE.

The way *Mme. Cerise’s business has slumped since folks went away for the summer is a cau tion. "Look at the way we’re stacked up with these here just from Paris glares that nobody would buy after they caught their breath and saw how aw ful they were! You’d think it was Philadelphia the way the women in sisted on quiet little things Just be fore the season closed! And these things marked down to next to noth ing!” "It’s fierce!” agreed the other wil lowy creature In black. "I bet that’s a customer -the one looking in at the window.” ‘‘You leave her to me!” hissed the first speaker, hastily patting her hair and straightening up. "My land! She's a find! She came in from'Per simmon Center with her husband, who brought a carload of live stock, and he’s given her a pocketful to spend so’s she can go back and give the town a jolt!

We are always glad to have people come in whether they buy or nm, That Bulgarian dress In the window? Do you kiiov/, you cer tainly have an eye for style, to pick out something like that, which is the very latest thing—we just unpac ked it this morning. The shipment was de layed, and it is a little beyond the' season, so it is marked down awfully low, along with everything else. "Only $22, and a month ago we'd have got fifty for it. Why, it is the very best material, madam. I assure you. This ratine is so stylish, but if It is new to you, of course, it does remind you of a thin bath towel. 1 sold six dresses on this order to a stylish customer the other day she has a big summer home at Lake Ge neva, and I tell you they wear clothes there! You had better let me show you how stunning you look in it. "Mame, did you ever? It might have been made for her—see how it fits! Oh, my. no; you wouldn’t want to take it in—everything is loose and baggy this year. You’ll get used to it. Goodness, no! You wouldn’t want to take off that collar and sash! You’re not a bit too old for such bright colors! That’s really a joke when you can’t be more than 20—well, you don’t look it. I'm sure you wouldn’t make a mistake in taking this. "All right. I’ll lay it aside for you. I want to show you something spe cial that we keep for our best trade. Just a minute! "Mame. for goodness sake, rustle out those chiffon things that we’ve had a year—on the top shelf—and those blou*ses that every one always returns because something was wrong with the cut—under those boxes! "Now, here! Did you ever see any thing prettier for a tea party or a meeting of the Literary Club—oh. 1 can tell when a woman is progressive just by looking at her! This chiffon will wear like iron and see how it’s draped! Everything is so clinging, you know, and you have just the figure for it! "Doesn’t she look sweet in this pur ple, Mame?

By the way, Mame, bring me some* of these new blouses—I want her to see them. Only $10. "Isn’t this dainty? And only $10. Perfect with your tailor suit! I’ll put this with the purple chiffon and the Bulgarian dress. You would regret it to the last day of your life If you let such bargains slip! You can just take the blouse in here—and let it out a bit there—and it will be. per fect! "Did you notice these hats? Aren’t they dears? Marked down two-thirds, madam! I suppose that orange (piill sticking up does seem odd to you, hut our very best people are wearing them. Maybe you prefer this light blue c^noo shape with the orange feathers in the back—doesn’t that give her style, Marne? "Oh, you must have it! It is such a pleasure to get hold of a customer that fashionable things become as they do you! Now, if you will give me the hotel address—thank 1 you! Ninety-one dollars and fifty cents! You certainly have siome bargains! Good morning! “Catch me, Mame! I’m going to faint! What do you think of really selling all that junk? Come along—• I'm going to strike Mme.

When her husband, the late Czar, was on the throne, she had a bodyguard which made a brilliant pageant on great occasions. The only guard she now retains Is the giant Cos sack of 6 feet 4 Inches In his stockings, who accompanies Her Majesty every where. On any olTlclal occasion he wears a magnificent white and gold uni form, and stands behind the Empress’ chair when she is at the table. The proceedings of the Marconi Com mittee are costing the English Govern ment Stationery Department a good deal. The comlttee have been sitting for two solid months—putting all their days of work on end—and the talk to which they have listened fills 1,500 pages of closely-printed foolscap. In round figures, 30,000 questions have been asked and answered In at least a million and a half words. Wilhelmina of Holland is the only actually ruling Queen, in the civilized world.

GARSIDE. T MET a girl about four months I ago,” writes Harry, "and since that time we have kept company and I love her very much and I think she loves me, too. We always spend our time together. Some time ago she told me that from the day we first be came, acquainted I have never told her anything that would interest her. Wo talk of incidents of the day, and I try to tell her of all I hear downtown. Will you please tell me what more I can tell to obtain her Interest?” Certainly. I will be glad to. I wish every young man in the world would come to me with a similar request. You told her of the fire next door; you recounted the accident an acquaintance had with his motor boat; you recalled incidents when you were in danger on the water; you asked her what she though of the latest murder; you won dered If she thought as you do about a certain magazine; you told her every thing you could recall, from what the office boy said to the latest Congression al scandal, and she wasn’t Interested! Of course not. She might be, if you began this tale of a day's events with a statement you have never made. She might he. If at any time In the months you have been keeping company wtth her you had ever made that statement. And that is, "I love you!” Tell- her that, and I am sure yoa will "obtain her Interest.” Tell her you love her, and 1 will vouch for It that you, will find yourself talking to the most interested listener you ever had In your life, whether that life be long or short. Tell her you love her, and while she hears she will not know there are others on the planet besides you two. Tell her that, and you are telling her something that will win her interest in you for the balance of your life. If you were a woman, you would have known long ago why she has looked bored when you have speculated If worms or bugs make the best fishing bait. It was because she did not know that you had an interest In her greater than in your subject. Tell her you love her, and thereafter, so long as you so conduct youhself that she believes it, your conversation will be as bright and scintillating as though it were made up of stars strung on moonbeams. Tell her you love her, and prove It; and so long as love remains, the most commonplace remark you make will be received with an Interest that will glor ify It and give it rank (in her opinion) among the sayings of wit and wisdom that live forever. And her opinion, my dear Harry, is the opinion of al the world to you if you love her. s1srSSE5E5Brd51SB5E5H5HSH5H55SRa55R555H5H5HSB5B5a5HfB Chance lor L. C. Smith & Bros.
