It It a Mistake
Mnr have the Idea that anythlnj

This is a grrat mistake. True, a
few sales might be made by advertis
ing an absolutely worthless article but
It is only the article that Is bought
again and again that pays. An ex

article Is the enormous sale that has
grown up for Casoarets Candy Cathar

of great merit successfully made known
through persistent advertising and the
tnouth-to-mouth recommendation given
Cascareta by its friends and users.
Like all great successes, trnde pi
rates prey on the unsuspecting public,
by marketing fake tablets similar in
appearance to Carcarets. Care should
always bo exercised In purchasing well
advertised goods, especially an article
that has a national sale like Cascar

The Lost Chords.
The village concert was to be n
irreat affair. They had tho singers,
they had the program sellers, they
tiad the doorkeepers and they would
doubtless have the audience. All they
needed was the piano, but that they
lacked. Nor could they procure one
anywhere.
At last the village organist learned
that one was possessed by Farmer
Hayseed, who lived "at the ton o' the
Mil." Forthwith he set out with two
men and a van.
"Take It, an' welcome," said Hay
eed cordially "I've no objections
a'long as ye put "Fyenner by Hayseed
on the program."
They carted it away.
"An' I wish 'em joy of It," mur-

Hut the preacher had cut In with a
curt "CIood-nlKht," and was K"ne, with
his broad-shouldered nephew at his
heels; and the horse-trader went on,
with t lie stars for his audience.
I'ettlKrasa was eropiriK for the (rap?
latch when a hand fell on his shoulder,
and a clutch that was more than half
a blow twirled hiin about to face thu
roadway. Ho was doubling Ills flats
for defense when he saw who his as
sailant was.
'why, Tom-Jeff! what's alltn ye?'
he began; but Tom broke In with Rasp-
InKs of rase.
japno J'eum-rass, what did you
think you saw last Wednesday fore

Yes; and then you came straight
down here and told my uncle!" Tho
hand ho had been holding behind him
camo to tho front, clutching a stone
snatched up from tho metaling of tho
pike as he ran. "If I should break your
face In with this, Japhe Fettlgrass, It
wouldn't be any more than you've
earned!"
"I tell F.rother Silas on you, Tom

"I don't want to believe H of you,
Japhe," quavered Tom, as near to tears
as the pride of his eighteen years
would Banctlon. "Hut somebody saw
and told, and mado It a heap worse
than it was."
"Who do you reckon It was told 'in
you? Was there anybody else In the
big woods thai mornln'?"
"Yes; there were three men testing
the pipe-line. We both saw them, and
Nan was seared stiff at slRht of one of
them; that's why I put her up In that
hole."
"When you find out who that feller
is that Nan's skeered of. you can lay
your hand on the man that told Broth
er Kllas on you. Hut I wouldn't trou
ble about It none, If I was you."
The dinner at Woodlawn that night
was a stiff and comfortless meal, as It
had come to be with the taking on
of four-tined forks and the other con
ventions for which an oak-paneled din
ing-room In an ornate brick mansion
sets the pace. Culeb Gordon was fath
oms deep In the mechanical problems
cf the day's work, as was his wont.
Bllas Crafts was abstracted and silent.
Tom's food chaked him, as It had need
under the sharp stress of things; and
the convalescent housemother remain
ed at table only long enough to pour
th coffee.
Tom excused himself a few minutes
later, and followed his mother to her
room, climbing the stair to her door,
leaden-footed and with his heart ready-
to burst.
"Is that you, Thomas?" said the gen
tie voice within, answering his tap on
the ponel. Tome In, son; come In and
sit toy my lire, it's right chilly to
night."
Thomas Jefferson entered and placed
his chair so that she could not seo him
without turning, and for many minutes
the silence was unbroken. Then n

Iz itinn, o a sudden extension of vision,
of Ituhicnn-crosslng from the Mther
shore of Joyous nnd Irresponsible, adol
escenee to that further one of con
scious grappling with the adult fact.
For Thomas Jefferson, grinding ten
aciously in tho lioston technical school,
whither he had gone latu In the win
ter of Hecrshehan discontent, tin
Btrciun-iTosHlng fell In the spring of
the panic year ISM, what time he was
21, a niartor-back on Ms collegn elev
en, fit, hardy, studious nnd athletic; a
pace-setter for bis fellows and tho
pride of the faculty, but still little moro
than an overgrown, care-free boy In
his outlook on life. Ollmpsps there had
been over Into the Promised Land of
manhood, but the crlmrnlng cup of col
lege work and play quaffed In heltli
glvhiff heartiness Is the elixir of youth.
The speculative habit of the boy slept
In the college undergraduate. The days
were full, each of the things of lt3 if.
and If Tom looked forward to the
workaday future as he did by times -the
boyish Impatience to be at it was
gone. Ohlawassee Consolidated was
moderately prosperous; the home let
ters were mere chronicles of sleepy
Paradise. The skies were clear, and
the present was acutely present. Tom
studied hard and played hard; ste like
an ogro and slept like a log. Ami when
no unally awoke to find himself stum
bling bewildered on the hank of the
epoch-making Rubicon, he was over
nnd across before he could realize how
so narrow a stream should 1111 so vast
a chasm.
Tom received a letter from his fath
er telling of the financial crisis, his
fear for the Chla wasse Consolidated,
and asking his advice.
Tom found this biter In his mall
box one evening after a strenuous day
In the laboratory; and that night he
sat up with the corpse of his later
boyhood, though he was far enough
from putting It that way. His father
was In trouble, and the lettpr was a
rail for hplp. It spempd vastly Incred
ible. Thomas Jefferson's Ideal of steady
courage, of Invincible human puis
sance, was formed on the model of th
stout-hearted old soldier who had
fought under Stonewall Jackson. What
a trumpet blast of alarm must have
sounded to make such a man turn to a
raw recruit for help!
"It's up to me," he mused, "and I'd
like to know what I've been thinking of
all this time. Why, pappy's old! he
was 40 before I was born. And I've
been here taking It easy and having
all sorts of a good time, while he's
been playing Sindbad to Duxbury Far
ley's Old Man of the Sea. Coming,
pappy!" he shouted; and forthwith
flung himself down at the table to
write a letter that wus to put new Ilfo
Into a weary old man who was fighting
against odds In the far-away South
land. The lone soldier was to take heart
of grace, remembering that he had a
son; remembering also that the son
was now a man grown, stout of arm,
steady of head, and otherwise flghtlng-
ftt. If the storm should come, the
watchword must be to hold on all,
keeping steerage-way on the Chlawas-
sen Consolidated craft at all hazards.
Tho June examinations were not far
off, and these disposed of, tho man
son would be ready to lay hold. Mean
while, let Caleb CSordon, In his capacity
of principal minor stockholder. Insist
on a full and exact statement of tho
ompany's affairs, and hero the new
manhood asserted Itself boldly let that
statement, or a copy of It. come to
lioston by the first mall.
To this letter there was a grateful
reply In which Tom read with a smile
his father's half-bewildered attempt to
get over to the new point of view. It
began, "Dear Buddy." and ended, "Your
affectionate pappy.' but there was
man-to-man matter between thei salu
tation and tho signature. The inquiry
Into the affairs of Chlawassee Consoll
dated had revealed little or nothing
more than tho general manager al
ready knew. The president had turn
ed the Inquiring stock -holder over o
Dyckman, tho bookkeeper, with In
structlons to give Mr. Gordon the full
est possible Information, and:
"Dyckman slid out of It, smooth and
easy-like," Calern's letter went on. "Ho
allowed he was mighty busy, right
about then. Wouldn't I Just make my
self at home and examlno tho books
for myself? I reckon that was about
what Farley wanted him to do. I'm no
book expert, and 1 couldn't make head
or tall out of Dyckman's spider tracks.
Looks to me like all the books are good
for is to keep people from finding
where the company Is at. What little
I found out, young Norman told mn.
He says we're In a hole, and tne nrst
wagon-load of dirt that conies along
will bury us out of sight."
Tom, driven now with the closing
work of the college year, yet took time
to write another heartening letter to
the hard-pressed old soldier. It had
been bis good fortune to win the Clark-
son prize tor cruciuie lems, ana to
have gained thereby a speaking ac
quaintance with the multimillionaire
Iron king who had founded It. Mr.
I'larkson did not believe that the finan
cial storm would grow to panic size.
As for himself. Tom thought the haz
ard was less In the times than In the
Farley, l'uther Caleb was to keep his
linger on the pulse of the main otltco,
wiling HoHton at the first, sign uf Its
weakening.
The Junior metallurgical was In the
thick of I lie June examinations w hen
the catastrophe befell. The brief story
of It came to Tom in the nrst dictated
letter he had ever received from bis
lather, and the tremulous xhaklness i f
the signature pointed ebulliently to the
reason. Chlawassee Consolidated was
out of blast "temporarily suspended,"
In the pleasant euphemism of the eld T
i'aii ; the force, clerical and manual
was discharged, with only Dyckman

liees tt) iniswir questions; and the
three Farleys, with Major Dabney, Ar
dca and Miss Kuplirasla, were to spend
the summer in Furope.
Caleb wrote In some bitterness ef
spirit. Though the Cordon holding In
the company, Increased from time to
time us the Iron-master had prosper
ed, amounted to a little mole than a
third of the capital stock, everything
had been done secretly. The genertl
manager's own notice of the nhul-do:i
bad come In the posted "Notice to Em
ployes." When the Fuiicys should
leave, be would be utterly helpless, on
their return they could repudiate ev
erything be might do In their absence
Meantime, ruin was Imminent The af
fairs of the company wore In the ut
most confusion; the treasury was emp
ty, and there were no apparent ssspts
apart from the Idle plant. Creditors
were pressing; Cl discharged work
men, led by the white coal-miners,
were on the verge of riot; and Major
Dahney's royalties on the coal lands
were many months In arrears.
Tom rose promptly to the occasion,
and In all the stress of things found
space to wonder how It chanced that
he knew' Instinctively what to do ami
bow to go about It. Before his Infor
mation was an hour old a rush tele
gram hnd gone to his father, asking
from what port and by what steamer
the Farleya would sail; asking also
that certain documents be sent to a
given New York address by first mall.
This done, be laid the exigencies
frankly before tho examiners In the
technical school, praying for such len
iency as might be extended under tho
circumstances. Since all things ara
possible for an honor-man, beloved of
those whoso mission It Is to grind th
human weapon to Its edge, the dlfllcul
tles In this field vanished. Mr. Gordon
could go on with his examinations until
his presence was needed elsewhere;
and after the stressful moment was
passed he could return and finish.
The return telegram from Gordonla
was a day late. Knowing diplomacy
only by name, Caleb Gordon had gone
directly to Dyckman for Information
regarding the Farleys' movements.
Dyckman was polite to the general
manager, but unhappily ho knew noth
ing of Mr. Farley's plans. Caleb tried
elsewhere, and the little mystery thick
ened. At his club, Mr. Farley had
spoken of taking a Cunarder from Bos
ton; to a friend in the South Tredegar
Manufacturers' Association he had con
fided his lnterttlon of sailing from Phil
adelphia. Hut at the railway ticket of
fice he had engaged Pullman reserva
tions for six persons to New York.
This last was conclusive, as far -is
It went; and Japheth Pettigrass sup
plied the7 missing item. The Dabnoys
and the Farleys made one party, and
Japheth knew the steamer and the
sailing date.
"Party will sail by White Star Line
Haltic, New York, to-morrow. Xjw
York address, Fifth Avenue'Hotel. Pa
pers to your care 271 Broadway by
mail yesterday," was the message
which was signed for by the door
keeper at the mines and metallurgy
examination room In Boston, late In
the forenoon of the second day; and
Tom looked at the clock. Nothln?
would be gained by taking a train
which would land him In New York
lato In the evening; so he plunged
again into the examination pool and
thought no more of Chlawassee Con
solidated until his paper on qualitative
analysis had been neatly folded, dock
eted and handed'to the examiner.

AT DANCING SCHOOL.
Some Children lOnJoy the Dlvrrnlnn
and Other Do .Not.
To most little girls and many little
boys dancing school Is a delight, but
not to all. The mother of one small
boy, who usually accompanies him to
the class, partly to encourage hint
regularly aa the fateful hour ap
proaches he is sunk in resentful and
despairing gloom--and partly to enjoy
the pretty spectacle, noticed one after
noon lately that although he had
bowed correctly before several little
girls in turn, he had failed to secure a
partner. She beckoned him to her
side.
Why wouldn't any of those little
girls dance with you, Bobby?" she In
quired. "Did you ask them nicely?"
Well, mama," admitted Bobby, re
luctantly, "I'm not sure whether it
was nice, exactly, but it was truthful;
and you say I'm always to tell the
truth. I said. 'May I have the pain of
this dance with you?' and they would
n't any of them dunce with me. But
you know perfectly well, mama, it
wouldn't have been true if I'd said
'pleasure.' "
Bobby's partners, when be was In
duced to use a formula somewhat less
frank, were almost always selected
from among girls older and larger
than himself. His mother remon
strated, adding, as she indicated a
light and graceful little girl of some
thing less than his own years, "Why
do you never ask little Katharine?
She dances beautifully."
lie turn-Hl a baleful eye on Kath
arine, who wns Indeed an admirable
dancer, but a rather over-dressed, pre
cocious and. noticeable child, and de
manded with indignant scorn:
"Do you s'pose I'd be i onspicuated
by that kid?"
His feelings were respected, and he
was allowed the modified "pain" of se
lecting a more sedate partner.
The shy. little daughter of a dis
tinguished novelist, who was recent
ly sent for the first time to dancing
school, had long dreaded I he ordeal.
Her father, knowing her fondness for
poetry, tried to overcome her fears
by familiarizing her mind wilh allur
ing songs and poems picturing the
Joyous Fportivcness of the dance; and
he appeared'' to have succeeded. Ks
peclally was she pleased with the airy
charm of the Shakespearian injunction
to the fairies to "foot It featly here
and there." and with trie Mlllonlc In
vitation to
Come and trip It as ye go
On the light fantastic toe.
Thus poetically Inspired, and cheer
ed also by the possession of a pair of
fascinating bronze slippers with bead
ed bows, she started off In fair spirits.
But alas! once arrived, bsshfulnesa
overpowered her. and she found the
afternoon an embarrassing and un
happy experience. Iteturulng home,
she cast the treasured slippers wildly
from her as she entered, flung herself
into her father's arms and sobbed In
a voice of miserable disillusionment:
"I don't want to foot It featly, papa
I don't want to! And oh, I don't want
my toes fantastic! I like my every
day common sense last lots better!".

Hints For
Open Air Card Parties.
Like Trnnysou'B little brook, "bridge
apparently goes on forever." With
these warm days morning parties are
quite tho thing, with a luncheon
served at one, tho party beginning at
eleven, or the luncheon is served nt
one, tho game following on the porch
nr lawn. For these outdoor affairs
camp chairs are used, rugs are spread
and Iced drinks are served nt Intervals
during tho gnme.
It f? a pretty fancy to use cards with
outdoor scenes or "landscape" backs,
I believe they are called, different
styles nt each table.
At one outdoor party the prizes
were all rustic baskets filled with
flowers and fruit; at another the host
ess gave each guest a Japaiiese flow
er holder In metal, and tho prizes were
green pottery bowls; Just the thing
for the holders. It Is now qulto the
thing to carry out one scheme In deo
oratlon, and prizes; a definite color
scheme, or prizes and favors to corre
spond. At one porch party of four ta
bles, tho hoBtess gave each guest a
dainty apron and tho four prizes were
elaborate hand-made aprons. Hanging
baskets and wall receptacles add much
to the beauty of the porch, when filled
with seasonable flowers.
A Cup-and-Saucer Shower.
Cup-nnd-Baucer showers are not new,
but this one was conducted in an un
usual manner. It was given by a
card club of which both the bride
and bridegroom elect were mcmjiers.
The saucers were passed to the men,
tho cups to the girls. When matched
they were partners, the hostess pla
cing them all on a trny, which was
presented to the bride at Ihe close of
the game, as her prize.

favorite. Built of white materials,
covered with "sparkles," with "Teddy"
bears of huge proportions, and ones of
smaller size clambering up the sides,
while on tho very tip top a big white

This pretty way to find partners was
utilized by a young hostess who was
clever with her brush. It was to be
a floral card party, so she painted a
flower on the cards for the ladies and
wrote the name of that flower on a
card, for the men. partners were
femnri bv matching name and flower.

TIMELY SUGGESTIONS
for Those Planning Seasonable
Entertainments
of tho pomps and vanities of this
wicked world, determined to take a
course in nursing. Much to the sur
prise of herself, friends nnd family,
she continued to the end and gradu
ated with honor. This surprise lunch
eon was arranged by nn elder sinter.
The table was covered with blue chain
bray, exactly llko tho hospital uniform,
tho centerpiece and plate doilies were
of white linen, each having a red cross
embroidered In the corner, the oppo
site corner had the guest'3 monogram.
The centerpiece was a tall glass used
for measuring in the diet kitchen and
laboratories and was filled with mar
guerites. The candles were white, in
glass holders, with red cross decora
tions on the shades. Tiny white mor
tars held olives and nuts, nnd water
I was poured from large medicine bot
tles. Wee bonbons In shape of pel-
1 lets, wore In pill boxes labeled with
directions for taking. These were
very funny and tho girls, all In uni
forms, caps and aprons, entered heart
ily into the fun. On regular hospital
report sheets each nurso found her
name with laughable remarks as to
her condition; a small skeleton
(found) at the favor counter, stood on
top, supposed to be the ghost of a
"first case" come back to haunt Its
stern persecutor. A delicious menu
was served with all the acceL-sorles
that money, thought and love could
produce. Needless to say, the memory
of this happy day will while away
many a trying hour in tho days to
come, when these splendid girls are
on real duty with their "first" cases
long in the past.

Hand-Run Lace.

Unflattering Truth.
A Chicago physician gleefully tells
a child story at his own expense. Th
five children of some faithful patients
had measles, and during their rather
long stay In the improvised home hos
pital they never failed to greet his
dally visit with pleased acclamation.
The good doctor felt duly flattered,
but rashly pressed the children. In the
days of convalescense, for the reason
of this sudden affection. At last the
youngest and most indiscreet let slip
the better truth.
"We felt so sick that we wanted
awfully to do something naughty, but
we were afraid to be bad for fear you
and the nurse would give U3 mora hor
rid medicine. So we were awfully
glnd to see you, always, 'cause you
made us stick out our tongues. W e
stuck 'em out awful far!"

"Do you know," said a little boy of
five to a companion the other day. "my
father and I know everything. What
I don't know my father knows, and
what my father don't know I know."
"All right! .Let's see, then," replied
th6 older child, skeptically. "Where's '
Asia?"
It was a stiff one, but the youngster
never faltered.
"Well, that," he answered coolly,

Cost of Spontaneity.
"I want the office, of course," said
the aspiring statesman, "but not un

"We can fix that, too," said his cam

a good deal more expensive to be the
people's choice than it is to go in as
the compromise candidate."
