DIDN’T LIKE DARK COLORS.
Johns—I heard you tell that man to
never darken your door again. Try
ing to marry your daughter?
Thomas—No; he’s a painter and he
painted my front door ebony Instead
of oak.
It Was the Other Way.
“Mr. Jones,” said the senior partner
In the wholesale dry goods house to
the drummer who stood before him In
the private office, "you have been
with us for the past ten years.”
“Yes, sir.”
“And you ought to know the rules
of the house. One of them is that no
man of ours shall take a side line.”
“But I have none, sir.”
“But you have lately got married.”
"Yes; but can you call that a side
line, Mr. Jones?”
"Technically, it may not be.”
“You needn’t fear that having a
wife is going to bring me in off a trip
any sooner.”
“Oh, I don’t. It is the fear that
having a wife at home you’ll want to
stay out on the road altogether!”
His Soft Answer.
“And this is the sort of excuse you
put up for coming home two hours
'ate for dinner and in such a condi
tion—that you and that disreputable
Augustus Jones were out hunting
mushrooms, you wretch? And where,
pray, are the mushrooms?”
“Eere zay are, m’ dear, in m’ ves’
pocket; and w’ile zay ain’ so many of
'em, m’ dear, we had lots of fun—
Bus an’ I—huntin’ ’em.”
She Knew the Worst.
Mistress (hiring servant)—I hope
you know your place?
Servant—Oh, yes, mum! The last
three girls you had told me all about
It.
A COOL
PROPOSITION
And a Sure One.
The Body Does Not Feel Heat
Unpleasantly if it has j |
Proper Food— 1
Grape-Nuts j
People can lire in a temperature
which feels from ten to twenty degrees
cooler than their neighbors enjoy, by
regulating the diet.
The plan is to avoid meat entirely for
breakfast; use a goodly allowance of
fruit, either fresh or cooked. Then fol
low with a saucer containing about four
heaping teaspoonfuls of Grape-Nuts,
treated with a little rich cream. Add to
this about two slices of crisp toast with
a meager amount of butter, and one
cup of well-made Postum.
By this selection of food the bodily
energy Is preserved, while the hot, car
bonaceous foods have been left out.
The result is a very marked difference
in the temperature of the body, and
to this comfortable condition is added
the certainty of ease and perfect diges
tion, for the food being partially pre
digested is quickly assimilated by the
digestive machinery.
Experience and experiment in food,
and its application to the human body
has brought out these facts. They
can be made use of and add materially
to the ccmfort of the user.
Read the little book. “The Road to
Wellville," in pkgs. "There's a Reason.”
"Lady to see you, sir. No name.”
"Ask her to wait a few minutes,
Williams," said Reuben Power, as he
went on sorting papers, and then pro
ceeded to ring up the police, with a re
quest for a special officer.
"Power’s Detective Agency" was on
Broadway. A rather decrepit elevator
at the back of a large dry goods store
conducted clients, first to the outer
office, tenanted by the cherubic person
ality of Mr. Williams, and thence—If
they were found worthy—lntp the
sanctum of the great Mr. Power him
self—a luxuriously furnished room,
containing a bureau and the usual
complement of telephones. Some cases
of burglars’ tools and relics of "cause
celebres" were hung round the walls,
together with maps, diagrams and
photographs dealing with the bloody
deeds which it has been Mr. Power's
duty to Investigate.
"All right, Williams," he called out,
after keeping the lady a few moments,
according to custom—for, barring an
appointment, It was policy with Mr.
Power to be always most particularly
engaged.
The door opened and a lady entered,
ushered in by Williams, who then care
fully closed the door and disappeared.
Power rose, returned the rather
strained bow of his mysterious visitor,
and motioned her to a chair.
“Mr. Power, I believe,” she began.
“Yes, madam; how can I be of ser
vice .to you?” he replied, and took a
careful note of her appearance as she
raised a thick blue veil she had hith
erto worn.
She was perhaps thirty, perhaps
hardly so much, blond, with a wealth
of golden hair, blue eyes—the mouth
was a little too large, but the whole
face. If not one of regular beauty, had
an Irresistible charm incapable of an
alysis. There were loyalty written there,
and the devotion that would stand by
a man though all the world was
against him.
“Mr. Power," she said, "I don’t know
you, of course, but I have come to see
you about a matter which I dare not
mention to any of my friends. My
name—I should tell you—Is McLeavy,
I am the wife of Rev. James McLeavy,
who is no doubt well known to you by
name. As you know, he is minister of
the church on Twelfth avenue, and

the habit of making certain visits
weekly to a certain houses. No one
else has knowledge of the affair ex
cept myself. I am to ask you to dis
continue those visits. Will you promise
me to do so?”
For some moments neither spoke.
McLeavy turned white as a sheet, and
after making one of two ineffectual
attempts to say something leaned back,
gazing hopelessly at Power.
"Then I may say you will discon
tinue?" began the latter.
“I do not know,” said McLeavy In a
broken voice. "Just now I can hardly
think. It is useless for me to deny, as
I see that you know all. Let me have
a day to think It over. Say I come In
tomorrow at this time?”
Power looked at the clock and saw It
was 3:30; consulted his notebook.
There was no engagement. "Very well,
McLeavy. I hope sincerely that you
will do as my friend wishes. You may
rely on me to render you any assist
ance in my power.'’
“Thank you, Mr. Power,” said Mc
Leavy, as he boarded a car for home.
• • •
Twenty minutes passed—then Power
was rung up on the ’phone.
"Who Is it?” he asked, “Oh! Mrs.
McLeavy! Well!”—then there was a
pause—“Shot himself, you say! Good
God, I’ll come at once.”
And Power did go—but too late to do
aught save find In the pocket of the
ghastly corpse, the following note on a
dirty scrap of paper In an almost Illeg
ible hand:
"Dear Tim:
"You seem to have forgotten your
old ‘pals’ these days since you got
religion. If you don’t come down and
spend a few dollars with us occasionally
maybe we’ll feel it only kind to come

The Danoing Masters.
From the New York World.
Having thundered against the "two
step” only to see that derided dance
persist In popular favor, the dancing
looked up to and respected by every
one. We have been married ten years
nearly, and have never had an unkind
word. Until two months ago he was in
every respect a model man and a model
husband. About that time he did not
come home one Sunday evening after
service. I waited up for him nearly all
night and all day on Monday. At length
he arrived home at 12 o'clock on Mon
day night. In what condition I am
ashamed to tell you. Since then the
same thing has happened every Sunday
evening. I have used tears, remon
strances and prayers, but In vain. To
find out Just what the matter was I
followed him after Sunday evening
church last week. He got on a car and
went down town to Eighth street, and
there I saw him disappear Into a house
which stood back some way from the
pavement.
“The house Is square, painted yellow,
with a pillared portico, and has an air
of melancholy and neglect about it. The
blinds and shutters were drawn tight,
and I was only able to catch a glimpse
of the hall as the door opened and shut.
Now, Mr. Power, I have no friend
whom I dare trust with this secret. I
have done all I can and am powerless.
If the church people hear a suspicion of
this my husband’s character is gone,
his position ruined and we shall be
turned out Into the world without food
or shelter. Now. what I want you to do
Is this—'phone up my husband and ask
him next time he Is passing to call and
see you. Tell him that through your
agents you have made this discovery,
and have been asked by a friend (who
wishes to remain unknown) to mention
the matter and entreat him to give up
these visits."
It was Impossible not to feel sym
pathy for such genuine distress; but It
was not the kind of business that Pow
er cared for. For some seconds he lay
back and surveyed the ceiling with
some Interest and then, as his glance
fell again to Mrs. McLeavy’s eager face,
his hard features relaxed into a kindly
smile. “I’ll do what I can,” he said, and
with evident anxiety not to be thanked,
bowed out his fair client.
The following day, Thursday, at
about the same hour, Rev. James Mc
Leavy occupied that same chair which
his wife, all unknown to him, had occu
pied the previous day.
“One minute, Mr. McLeavy," said
Power, as apparently absorbed in work
he proceeded to focus a mirror on Mc
I.eavy's chair and take the measure of
his man.
Yes, the face was a good one—open
and frank, but the face of a fanatic.
The forehead high and bare, the eyes
large and piercing, the nose aquiline.
A man who could persuade other per
sons and himself as well that right
was wrong and wrong was right; ner
vous, excitable, impressionable. A man
who in another age might have been a
Spanish Inquisitor or a member of that
order of Friars called “Flageilauts,”
who beat themselves till the blood
flowed, to show their devotion to God.
A man who would break but never
bend.
Reuben Power had the face of a
sphinx. In repose It conveyed nothing
of the thoughs passing In his mind. His
figure was tall and spare, and always
seemed ready to bend under the weight
of the massive head. He had an un
usually high skull, a snub nose, large
ears, and eyes which always seemed as
If they were trying to escape the gaze
of others, and which he could veil at
my time by simply lowering his brows.
He did not appear to see anything, yet
nothing ever escaped hitn.
"Well, Mr. McUeavy, I have been
isked by a friend of yours (not a mem
oer of your congregation, I may say)
lo speak to you on a rather unpleasant
mbject," said Power, suddenly wheel
ng round his chair. “The fact Is that

From Harper’s Weekly.
Simeon Ford enjoys nothing better
than to tell a story of the humors of
the hotel business.
“A friend In the west,” says Mr. Ford,
“once related to me the trials and trib
ulations of the people employed In the
office of his hostelry to keep In proper
bounds a young man from Chicago who
as soon as he had registered proceeded
to make things lively. The first even
ing he spent with them he did the pro
prietor out of a neat sum at poker; the
next night he returned to his quarters
considerably Intoxicated after having
whipped his cabby; the third night he
gave an Impromptu concert In the halls.
This was too much for the hotel people;
they asked for his key and rendered his
bill. Evidently the amount thereof was
not to his liking, for he exclaimed pa
thetically:
” ‘Say, don’t you fellows make any
discount to the clergy?’ ”
A Real Swindler.

Miss Mary Richmond of the Phila
delphia Society for Organizing Charity,
abominates professional beggars, and
has Innumerable stories In proof of the
worthlessness of these men.
Many of Miss Richmond's stories
have a humorous turn. Thus, recently,
she said:
"As an English gentleman was walk
ing down a quiet street he heard a rau
cous voice say:
“ 'Charity! For the love of heaven,
charity!’
"The gentleman, a true philanthro
pist, turned and saw a thin and ragged
ligure at whose breast hung a card say
ing: 'I am blind.’ The gentleman took
a coin from his pocket and dropped It
into the blind beggar’s cup.
"But the coin was dropped from too
great a height and It bounced out
again. It fell and rolled along the pave
ment. the beggar In pursuit. Finally It
lodged In the gutter, whence the blind
man fished It out.
"The gentleman said In a stern voice:
" 'Confound you, you are no more
blind than I am.’
"The beggar at these words looked at
the placard on his breast and gave a
start of surprise.
’’ ’Right you are, boss,’ he said,
Blamed if they haven’t put the wrong
-ard on me. I’m deaf and dumb.' ”

RAW ECZEMA ON HANDS
"I had eczema on my hands for ten
years. I had three good doctors but
none of them did any good. I then
used one box of Cuticura Ointment
and three bottles of Cuticura Resolvent
and was completely cured. My hands
were raw all over, Inside and out, and
the eczema was spreading all over my
body and limbs. Before I had used one
bottle, together with the Cuticura
Ointment, my sores were nearly
healed over, and by the time 1 had
used the third bottle, I was entirely
well. To any one who has any skin
or blood disease I would honestly ad
vise them to fool with nothing else,
but get Cuticura and get well. My
hands have never given me the least
bit of trouble up to now.
"My daughter’s hands this summer
became perfectly raw with eczema.
She could get nothing that would do
them any good until she tried Cuti
cura. She used Cuticura Resolvent
and Cuticura Ointment and in two
weeks they were entirely cured. I
have used Cuticura for other members
of my family and it always proved suc
cessful. Mrs. M. E. Falln, Speers

Seeking Comfort.
“I’ve got a long way to go and I’m

at the railway ticket office. “I want
to be just as comfortable as I can,
regardless of expense.”
"Parlor car?”
“No. I don’t care for parlor fix
ln’s.”
“Sleeper?”
“No. I want to stay awake an’
watch the scenery.”
"Then what do you want?”
“Well, if It wouldn’t be too much
trouble, I wish you’d put me up in
one of these refrigerator cars I’ve
read so much about.”
History Cleared Up.
The third grade was "having his
tory.” Forty youngsters were ma
king guesses about the life and char
acter of the Father of His Country,
when the teacher propounded a ques
tion that stumped them all.
"Why did Washington cross the Del
aware?”
Why, indeed? Not a child could
think of anything but the answer to
the famouB chicken problem: "To get
on the other side,” and, of course,
that wouldn’t do. Then little Annie’s
hand shot into the air. Little Annie
crossed the Delaware every summer
herself, hence the bright idea.

THE BEST OF ITS KIND
Is always advertised, In fact It only pays j
to advertise good things. When you see
an article advertised in this paper year
after year you can be absolutely certain 1
that there is merit to it because the con
tinued sale of any article depends upon
merit and to keep on advertising one
must keep on selling. All good things
have imitators, but imitations are not ad
vertised. They have no reputation to sus
tain, they never expect to have any per
manent sale and your dealer would never
sell them if he studied your interests.
Sixteen years ago Allen’s Foot-Ease, the
antiseptic Powder for the feet, was first
sold, and through newspaper advertising
and through people telling each other
what a good thing it was for tired and
aching feet it has now a permanent sale,
and nearly 200 so-called foot powders
have been put on the market with the
hope of profiting by the reputation which
has been built up for Allen’s Foot-Ease.
When you ask for an article advertised
in these papers see that you get it. Avoid
substitutes.

An American who spends much of

who went to a dealer in dogs and thus i
described what he wanted. "Hi wants
a kind of dog about so ’igh an’ so long.
Hit’s a kind of gr’y’ound, an’ yet It
ain’t a gr’y’ound, because ’is tyle is
shorter nor any o’ those ’ere gr’y’ounds,
an’ ’is nose is shorter, an’ 'e ain’t bo
slim round the body.. But still 'e’s
a kind o’ gr’y’ound. Do you keep such
dogs?” “We do not,” said the dog
man. “We drown ’em.”

The Tenderfoot Farmer
It was one of these experimental farmers, who put green
spectacles on his cow and fed her shavings. His theory
was that it didn’t matter what the cow ate so long os sha
was fed. The questions of digestion and nourishment had
not entered into his calculations.
It’s only a “tenderfoot” farmer that would try such
an experiment with a cow. But many - farmer feeds him
self regardless of digestion and nutrition. He might almost as well eat shav
ings for all the good he gets out of his food. The result is that the stomach
grows “weak” the action of the organs of digestion and nutrition are impaired
and the man suffers the miseries of dyspepsia and the agonies of nervousness.
To strenitben the stomach, restore the activity ot the or
