MISS DEILA STROEBE, 710 Rich
mond St., Apploton, Wis., writes:
"For eovcral years I yras in a run
down condition, and T could find no re
lief from doctors and medicines. I
could not enjoy my meals, and could
not sleep at night. I had heavy, dark
circles about tho eyes.
"My friends wero much alarmed. I
was advised to give Perunn a trial, and
to my Joy I began to improvo with the
first bottle. After taking six bottles I
felt completely cured. I cannot say too
much for Feruna as a mcdicino for
women in a run-down condition."

IT 8EEMED INCURABLE
Body Raw with Eczema Discharged
from Hospitals as Hopeless Cut!
cura Remedies Cured Him.
"From the age of three months until
fifteen years old, my son Owen's life
was made intolerable by eczema in its
worst form. In spite of treatments the
disease gradually spread until nearly
every part of his body was quite raw.
Ho used to tear himself dreadfully In
his sleep and the agony he went
through is quite beyond words. Tho
regimental doctor pronounced the case
hopeless. We had him in hospitals
four times and he was pronounced one
of tho worst cases ever admitted.
From each ho was discharged as in
curable. We kept trying remedy
after remedy, but had gotten almost
past hoping for a cure. Six months
ago we purchased a set of Cutlcura
Remedies. The result was truly mar
velous and to-day he is perfectly cured.

A Good Reason.
"Why was Mrs. Smlthers so vio
lently opposed to the marriage of one
of her twins?"
"I think it was because of her bolng

"What on earth had that to do with
it?"

THE REXFORTH
CIRCULATING LIBRAR Y
By DONMARK LEMON
(Copyright, by Bhortstory Pub. Co.)
He handed the boggar a half-dollar,
for the pathetic old fellow had made
n moving appeal, and was about to re
turn to his pocket the other coins in
his hand, when one of them slipped
through his fingers and started to roll
down tho sidewalk.
He saw that it was his pocket-piece,
a louls d'or with the Image of the
Grande Monarque, and made a hasty
dash for the coin. It escaped him and
shot away at accelerating speed down
the sidewalk and just Inside the flag
stone. He lengthened his stride and
made another dash for the coin. Some
small silver spilled from his hand, but
he let it go and followed the elusive
Louis XIV. Suddenly the gold-piece
struck a ridge in Its downward path
and shot around the corner of a public
courtway. Baxter followed.
He heard a laugh at his amusing
predicament, but did not look up, as
his blood was aroused, and he was
bound that the coin should not escapo
down some hole or cranny.
At about three-fourths Its length,
tho courtway lifted a bit, retarding the
speed of the coin, which finally
swerved In Its track and rocked along
the flagstone, to reel at last like a
very drunken Louis Into a doorway,
where It lay In the corner, half-propped
against the footboard.
Baxter stooped and picked up the
coin, and as he arose to a standing
poBture, a small, neat brass sign met
his eye. It was set Into tho door be
fore which the coin had come to a
standstill, and it read:
: THE REXFOIITH CIRCULATING
: LIBRARY.
The courtway or narrow street down
which the golden louls had led him
was wholly new to Baxter, and as he
looked about he saw a couple of ladles
across the way smiling at his late pre
dicament.
He would step Into Rexforth's and
recover his serenity. He opened the
"Huckleberry Finn!" He Ejaculated
door and found himself In f. large, well
lighted room, fitted up more like a
ladles parlor than a library. Where
were the books? He could not see any
and tho patrons all ladles, It would
seem that came and went whllo ho
iiazed around nonplused did not bring
nor take away any object that could
have been mistaken for a book.
"This Is something new," comment
ed Baxter, mentally: "Must be a book
leBS library."
Fancies of a new Idea In libraries
floated through his brain. Perhaps tho
books at Rexforth's were not printed
volumes, but phonographic records
and all the patron needed to do was
to draw a wax cylinder of tho latest
popular novel the record made by tho
author himself tako it home and
place It on a phonograph, and science.
the mother of convenience, would do
tho rest.
But all this was hypothetical, so he
looked about. On the wall near him
was a neat typewritten list, headed
"Tho Six Books MoBt In Demand by
the Patrons of the Rexforth CIrculat
Library, for the Month of September,
Ills eye ran down the list.
"Third-rail alive!" ho murmured
"what kind of ladies patronize this 11
brary?"
For the list read:
Izaak Walton's Compleat Angler.
Shakespeare's King Henry The
Fifth.
Last of tho Mohicans.
Meditations of Aurellus.
Samuel Johnson's Dictionary.
Huckleberry Finn.
He shut his eyeH and tried to puz
zle It out, but the more he thought the
deeper was his confusion. He studied
the ladies waiting to give their orders
for books. They all wero stylishly
rcssed, and scorned cultured and well-
read. His eye returned to tho type
written list on tho wall.
"They're classics, all right," ho
granted, "But such classics!"
Ho got up and wont over to tho sec
retary's desk. Ho would Join the li
brary and learn something. Ho was
handed a leaflet which Informed him
that the monthly dues were ten dol-
urs, tho members having tho prlvl
ego of drawing each month two bookg
n class one, throe In class two, four
n class three, and so on! a fine of two
dollars a day being Imposed for a book
kept overtime
Baxter whistled mentally. "The
books must bo bound In vellum and
gold-tooled!"
He laid ten dollars on tho secre
tary's desk, and after a little tolephon-
ng, by means of which his references
wero authenticated and approved, ho
was entered In tho books as a member
of Tho Rexforth Circulating Library,
r.nd credited with one month's paid
up dues.
He did not removo tho sealed wrap
per from tho catalogue that tho secre
tary gave him, but upon being assured
by the young lady presiding over tho
order desk that a copy of Huckleberry
Finn was on the library shelves, ho
had her make out a slip for that
classic.
He thought to get his Huckleberry
and take It with him ho was in a
hurry to have a look at tho binding
of the volume but tho young lady
calmly Informed him that the book
would bo sent around to his address
that afternoon by the first delivery.
If ho would turn to rule seven in tho
catalogue ho would learn that such
was tho delivery regime of the library.
'Very well," he said, and loft tho
building. By following downwards for
a short distance tho narrow but ell-
paved courtway, then turning to tho
right along a similar courtway, thence
to the left and again to the right, ho
emerged upon a busy, familiar street,
where a number of carriages were
waiting, no doubt for patrons of the
Rexforth Circulating Library.
That afternoon a parcel bearing the
stamp Rexforth was delivered at Bax
ter's club room. It was of mammoth
dimensions for. a book, and he began
to fear that the librarian had blun
dered and sent him, instead of a mod
est octavo by Mark Twain, a folio
Shakespeare, If not tho pondorous
Johnson's dictionary Itself. So ho
nervously undid the wrapping, and
there lay before him In a neat paper
box a lady's handsome skirt, with
some manner of fluffy pink trimmings
or flounces, he didn't know which.
He poked gingerly at. the dainty gar
ment. "Huckleberry Finn!" ho ejacu
lated. Then a groat, big truth leaped
up in Baxter's mind, like tho grimac
ing face of a jack-in-the-box, and hasti
ly removing tho manila cover and
opening tho catalogue he had received
at the library, ho turned to H. Brack
eted with the title of Huckleberry
Finn was tho description of a lady's
fancy ball Bklrt.
His eye ran over some other hook
titles, with tho things in ladies' dress
wear bracketed against them. Then
ho sat down weakly. Tho Rexforth
Circulating library was a woman's
dress-renting establishment, where la
dles, by paying a certain monthly sum,
could "draw" stylish dresses for tem
porary wear.
Each dress, skirt, waist, or hat, bore
the name of some well-known book a
kind of code arrangement for privacy,
brevity and convenience and upon ex
nmlnlng his library card Baxter found
Mrs. prefixed to his nnme, tho socro
tary, no doubt, having been under the
impression that he had acted for his
wlfo In joining tho R. C. L., for that
establishment made its appeal exclu
slvely to tho gentler sex.
