Britain's Metropolis Not In the Name Class with Long Island, "I have met a great many liars in my time,” said Pilot Josh Lane the other day, "but John Lundy, a Rock away oysterman, is far and away king of them all. It doesn’t make any difference what you tell John in the way of a fairy tale, he will always go you one better. You may depend upon him, for he never fails. Two or three weeks ago I met John in a saloon in Long Island City. We got to talking about fogs, and I tried to impress him with the thickness of the fogs in London. I told him how peo ple, standing on a street corner in London, could not see the lighted lamp on the post beside them; how people, after leaving their own door step, could not find their way back •home until the fog had lifted, and a dozen other stories all greatly embel lished. But it was no use—I could not even feaze him. This was the re turn I got: “ ‘Sonny, fogs may be pretty thick in that town, but they ain’t half so bad as I’ve seen them right here on Long Island. I remember once, ’bout ten years ago, when I was shinglin' the upright part of my house, a fog rolled in from the east fit to put a man’s eyes out. I didn’t take much notice of it at first, but kept on nailin’ down shingles, an’ by an’ by it lighted up some, and what do you think I’d been doin’, sonny? I was half a mile away from the house, and the shingles was lyin’ on the field all the way back. That blamed fog was so thick I’d been nailin’ shingles on it and didn't know it. And that ain’t the worst fog I’ve seen, neither.’ ”—New York Times. PRESIDENT ROOSEVELT IN OMAHA. Lew rates via Burlington Route.

My hus band Insisted that I take Wine of Cardui for a week and see what It would do for me. I did take the medicine and wu very grateful to find my strength and health slowly returning. In two weeks I was out of bed and in a month I was able to take up my usual duties. I am very enthusi astic in Its praise."
