CALLER LEFT IN A HUFF.
BACK TO THE TOWN
A POSER.
Innocent Thoucht of Business Man
That Gave SctIoub Offense.
Two business men bml been talking
good naturedly the other day. Their
conversation had reviewed a number of
things, and a remark mado by tho pro
prietor as his caller was leaving
brought up the Bubject of prosperity
In a rather awkward way.
"Business with mo has been a little
dull of late. I've bad only a few call
ors," ho remarked.
The friend smilingly rejoined:
"You'll have enough of them In a
short time prosperity's coming right
along. Why," ho added, emphatically,
"tho next thno I drop around, Instead
of being ablo to chat with you for half
an hour, there'll bo so mnny peoplo
ahead of me that It'll tako mo two
hours to get to you maybe I can't
ceo you at all."
"I hope so," rejoined the proprietor,
cheering up over tho prospects of ro
nowed business activity.
His caller literally "stormed" out of
tho office, leaving bis erstwhile host
In a slate of bewilderment as to what
had happened.
INVALID'S SAD PLIGHT.
After Inflammatory Rheumatism, Hair
Came Out, Skin Peeled, and Bed
Sores Developed Only Cui
cura Proved Successful.
"About four years ago I had a very
Bovero attack of Inflammatory rheuma
tism. My skin peeled, and the high
fever played havoc with my hair,
which camo out In bunches. I also
bad three largo bed sores on my back.
I did not gain very rapidly, and my
appetite was very poor. I tried many
'suro cures' but they wore of little
help, and until I tried Cutlcura Re
solvent I had had no real rollof. Then
my complexion cleared and soon I felt
better. The bed sores went very soon
after a few applications of (1utlcura
Ointment, and when I used Cutl
cura Soap and Ointment for my hair
It bogan to regain its former glossy ap
pearance. Mrs. Lavina J. Henderson,

Starch were used. In order to get the
desired stiffness, it is usually neces

beauty and fineness of the fabric is
hidden behind a paste of varying
thickness, which not only destroys the
appearance, but also affects the wear
ing quality of tho goods. This trot
ble can bo entirely overcome by using
Defiance Starch, as it can be applied
much more thinly because of its great

COUNTRY LIFE PALLED ON THE
SUBURBANITE.
Real Facts of the Case Somewnat
Different from the Explanation
He Made to His City
Friend.
The year around the city resident
and the summer suburbanite wcro car
rylng on a conversation over their
hurried noonday lunch.
"Must be mighty all fired crimpy
around tho edges out in tho country
these davo." suggested the city man.
"Don't believe I'd like living out in tho
country these days without steam
heat and things. You'll bo hiking Into
town pretty quick now, I s'posc."
"O, not for awhile yet," returned
the summer suburbanite. "This is
renlly tho finest tlmo of tho year to
bo in the country. It is a trlflo crisp
when you get out or bed In the morn
ing, of course, but then it beats the
city at that. Some might exchange
the good country air for a few city
comforts, but not me. A little cold
isn't going to hurt me."
This was a day or two ago. Tho
following morning when tho summer
suburbanite crawled out from under
the covers the thermometer was down
around -10.
"Holy jumpln' James M. Jehosapbat,
but It's cold in this barracks!" ex
claimed the S. S. to his wife. "Talk
about your polar expeditions and their
hardships. They haven't got much on
this! What are wo staying out In a
place like this for, anyhow? Never
saw such a bleak habitation as this,
If you'd call It a habitation, In all my
troublous life. What's your Idea in
sticking to a place like this for when
we've got a house there in town with a
furnace and hot water and bath tub
and all such tilings? That's what I'd
like to know! I surely would.
"If I wanted to freeze to death I
could do It right in town any good
winter day. I wouldn't need to come
clear out bore to the country to do It.
Holy mackerel but I, at water's cold!
Don't even dare wash your face in
this Grcenlnndish place! And I'm
serving notice on you right at this
juncture that we're going into town
to-day, and we're going to stay there
until next summer. Us for town. In
cold weather a man's supposed to live
in town where they've got radiators
and such like. That's what towns are
for."
Then the other day the suburbanite
and his friend met again at lunch.
"So you've moved back to town,
have you?" spoke up the year-around-city
man. "Thought you'd got enough
of that country business in this sort
of weather."
"O, yes, I moved in," owned up the
late suburbanite. "It was fino out
there, but my wifo just naturally
wouldn't stand for it. Said she couldn't
keep warm. And you know how use
less it Is to argue with a woman. I
had to come In. Hated like Sam Hill
to do It, though." Cleveland Plain

William Calvert, who died in Wash
ington a short time ago at the ago o?
74, passed over to the larger and
wider sphere of existence after hav-.
ing spent 50 years in an endeavor to
discover an effective method of stor
ing solar energy. He was not regard
ed by scientific men as a deluded en
thusiast seeking the unattainable and
impossible. Far from it. Ho spent
his life In an endeavor to solve a great
problem which many Investigators be
hove to bo solvable, and, being so, be
lieve that the problem will ultimately
bo worked out. Mr. Calvert was ablo
to make some laboratory demonstra
tions which led him and others to be
lieve that he was on the verge of suc
cess, but ho died finally, leaving to
some other the continuation of the
search for the delusive secret.

A pretty story is told of Queen Al
oxnndra's thoughtfulucss.
Tho queen never loses hor Interest
in those for whom she has acted as
godmother. In particular, sho has
been most kind to the children of
lMi Curzon, who lost their beautiful
mother more than a year ago. Tho
queen, hearing that little Alexandra
Curzon who was named after her
majesty was fond of gardening, sent
a box of violet roots to her.
The child decided to plant thorn so
that when they camo up they should
spell "Alexandra." "I should llko to
help you plant them," said tho queen
"Well, you can put In tho full slop,"
replied the child.

"Papa, George wants to break our

"What reason docs he advance-'
"Ho says ho has lots of reasons, but
ho mentions only one."
"And wlat'3 that?"
"Ho says he has seijn somebody ho
loves much bettor than he loves me."
"And that's the only reason ho
gives?"
"Yes."
"Don't bother htm about the oth
