A PROUD PAIR. "AVht makes that peasant so proud today?" "On, ho has the biggest rooster in town and his wife the biggest hat." Fliegende Blaetter. Not Lacking In Dignity. There was once upon a time a conn try lawyer who was noted for his se date manners and his Judicial bearing. In the course of time he was elevated to the bench, where he conducted him elf and the court with becoming de meanor, and where he won a reputa tion tor sagacity based nearly alto gether upon his solemn accents and bis corrugated brow. One who knew him well was asked by a stranger who saw the Judge pass npon the street whether he was really an efficient arbiter. "Well." said the acquaintance slow ly. "I think I may say that John pre sides with more dignity and less Abil ity than anyone else I ever knew." Louisville Courier-Journal. Forestalled. "Well.

Lord bless ye. ma'am, only last night didnt he come home wid a pair on." Success Magazine. Laundry work at home would be much more satisfactory if the right Starch were used. In order to get the desired stiffness, it is ually neces sary to use so much starch that the 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 the goods. This trou ble can be entirely overcome by using Defiance Starch, as it can be applied much more thinly because of its great er strength than other makes. Great Improvement. The patient told the doctor all his symptoms. At the end of the recital the medical man looked severe. "My dear sir." he said, "you must gradually give up whisky and soda." Some months later he met the pa tient and inquired whether the advice had been followed. "To the letter." replied the patient beaming. "Why. I've already given up soda completely!" Evidence. "His wife married him to reform him." "And she succeeded, didnt she?" "I dont know; I didnt know him before be was married." "Neither did I; but you can see that he dont amount to anything now."

"We always wondered a little how Amos Dore and his wife got along really," "Aunt Em" Macomber said. frankly. "Some in the neighborhood said they'd never overheard a single loud or cross word on either side, but Llje Daniels always stuck to it that Amos was as mis'able at home as a man could be. " He never spoke right out till Amos died and Mis' Dore went back up country to her folks. Then he let out." "What?" queried Aunt Em's visitor. "Well. Amos worked logging along side of Lije every winter, and sum mers they hayed together most al ways, and it seems," said Aunt Em, im pressively, "that Amos complained of his shoes hurting him about all the time. Finally Lije asked why he wore tight shoes. "Why don't you get a pair big enough? says Lije, one day. , ""Well. I'll tell you,' Amos says. When I wear tight shoes I forget all my other troubles." Youth's Com panion. NEVER DONE. Slimkins I I hope you didn't mind my putting that little matter of $5 in the hands of the bill collector yesterday? Podger Not at all; I borrowed a dollar from him. Tuberculosis Afflicts Japanese. Consumption among Japanese labor ers is increasing to such a degree that the figures are becoming a source of anxiety to Japanese merchants and of ficials. A large percentage of labor ers who are sent back to Japan by the Japanese charity associations are consumptives. It is claimed by the Japanese newspapers comenting on this matter that through the lack of hospital accommodations in the Jap anese labor camps tuberculosis in creases at an alarming rate. They suggest that a new system be em ployed in dealing with the aick in these camps, as the Japanese are quite ignorant of even the most sim ple health safeguards. Starch, like everything else, is be ing constantly improved, the patent Starches put on the market 25 years ago are very different and inferior to those of the present day. In the lat est discovery Defiance Starch all injurious chemicals are omitted, while the addition of another ingredient, in vented by us, gives to the Starch a strength and smoothness never ap proached by other brands. A Natural Mistake. T thought you said that you were home early last night and didn't drink a drop." "So I was, my dear." "Well. It doesnt look like it. This morning I found your dirty rubbers in the tireless cooker." "Great Scott! I thought that was the shoe box." No, Not Nervous. "They say he has degenerated Into a panhandling bum." "That's true. He is now nothing but a nervy wreck." THIRD OPERATION PREVENTED By Lydia E. Pink ham's Veg etable Compound Chica-to, I1L "I want to tell yon what Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound did for me. I was so sick that two of the best doctors in Chicago said I would die if I did not have an operation. I had already had two operations, and they wanted me to go through a third one. I suffered day and night from in flammation and a small tumor, and never thought of seeing a well day again. A friend told me how Lydia E. Pinkham's Veg etable Compound had helped her, and I tried it, and after the third bottle was cured." Mrs. At.vf.xa Sperllso, II Langdon Street, Chicago, 11L If you are ill do not drag along at home or in your place of employment until an operation is necessary, but build np the feminine system, and re move the cause of those distressing aches and pains by taking Lydia E. Pinkham's vegetable Compound, made from roots and herbs. For thirty years it has been the stan dard remedy for female ills, and has positively restored the health of thou sandsof women who have been troubled with displacements, inflammation, ul ceration, fibroid tumors, irregularities, tteriodio pains, backache, bearing-down feeling, flatulency, indigestion, dizzi ness, or nervous prosvauon. vtny aon't you try it" NO WEDDING BELLS FOR THE JUNIOR PARTNER AND THE STENOGRAPHER. Mr. Branscombe Was Wealthy and Handsome and All That, But Miss Hawtrey Clung to Her Little $12 Per. "But," urged Mr. Branscombe, the Junior partner, after Miss Hawtrey, the beautiful stenographer, had said that she could not become his wife, I can't understand why you refuse me. I am not an old man that is, I hope I'm not old. Of course, some men are very old at my age; but I've tried to keep young, and at 35 no man has the right to feel that he is getting old. As for my financial standing, I can say that I am rich enough to in sure you not only a comfortable home, but many of the luxuiies that are dear to a woman." "I haven't the least doubt about that," the lady replied. "If I were going to marry I should not wish my husband to be any younger than you are. A man of 35 ought to know his own mind. But, really. I wish you would not urge me any more." "I I perhaps it is rather undigni fied for me to say so, but I hope I am not altogether unattractive as far as my personal appearance is concerned." "Indeed, you are not. Mr. Brans combe. You are, if you will excuse me for saying so, a very handsome man." "Thank you I thank you with all my heart, my dear Miss Hawtrey. And I hope my treatment of you has al ways been gentlemanly." "If it had not been I should not have remained here." "If you have any doubts concerning my past I can assure you that .there is nothing in it which I should be ashamed to have you know about." "That is a great deal for a man to be able to say to a woman." "Yes. I am glad you takeVthat view of it. May I hope that I shall be able in time to make you change your mind? I do not insist on a hasty mar riage. If you will only give me any reason to feel encouraged I will wait and try to convince you that I am worthy of you?" "Really, I must say at once that I do not desire you to go on treasuring any hope. I am sure that I shall not change my mind:" "Have you thought how much it would mean to you to be the mistress of a splendid home? To never have to bother about money? To have servants to do your bidding? To, in short, be the wife of a man of high standing in the community?" "Yes. I've thought about all tbat- I prefer to remain as I am." "I confess that I can't understand you. Your salary here is never likely to be any higher than it is at present. and you must often find it exceedingly difficult to get along on your income to get the things that a woman natur ally wishes to have in the way of -clothes and that sort of thing, and then there is the necessity of coming into the city, rain or shine, to work among a lot of men who are not al ways, I fear, as respectful or as gal lant as men ought to be in their deal ing with ladies. Think how much better it would be to have a splendid home to preside over; to "That's the very thing I don't want. If I had a home to preside over I should have to stick there day after day, with no chance to get out and be among people to see the world to be a part of it. Not for me, Willie." "Miss Hawtrey. will you kindly re turn to your typewriter and get off the letters I dictated to you this fore noon? And don't forget that they are to be sent out to-day even if you have to remain at work till eight o'clock to-night. I have noticed recently that you have been taking three-quarters of an hour off at luncheon. Remem ber that you are to be absent only half an hour." "The horrible old grouch," Miss Hawtrey muttered, as she returned to her work, "he wants the earth for $12 a week." A Manhattan Scheme. On the first warm day of the week a wagon went the rounds of the down town district, and from the front of it a raucous-voiced youth bellowed summertime song of the tin pan va riety. While he sang, other youths bored their way through the crowds selling copies of the melody if such it could be called. A bystander on the edge of the throng was surprised at the briskness of the buying. A man darted up to the wagon, deposited ten cents, and vanished with the song. There would be a pause, and then an other man would plunge forward and grab a copy. Presently the -onlooker noticed that all these men looked alike. One-half of them had a cigar; the other half wore a felt hat. He studied them in tently, and the closer he studied the more certain he became that the ap parently many buyers were in reality but two. But by the time he had worked this out satisfactorily the crowd was hypnotized, and man after man went meekly up to the wagon and paid ten cents for the music that was being lauded through a mega phone. New York Evening PosL Just a Novice. T see," said the veteran husband, "that Parisian advices indicate wom en's hats will be much smaller next summer." The other man looked pleased. "That's good," he said. "The wom en can cut their big hats down." For he was a very young husband, you understand, and knew very little about the ways of women and mit liners. JOB WOULD KEEP KIM BUSY Greenhorn Sailor Realized the Captain Had Given Him a Big Contract. In the height of the recent wbeat tu mult Broker Patten, discussing the government's wheat estimates with a reporter, said calmly: "But some of the men the govern ment takes its figures from are green horns. Perfect greenhorns. As bad as the Dutch sailor, you know. "The captain said to the sailor. when the ship came to port: Take a boat, run ashore and buy two dollars' worth of vegetables." 'The sailor didn't know what vege tables were, so as soon as he struck land he said to a longshoreman: "What is vegetables, mate? " Oh. dried peas, for instance,' the longshoreman answered. "So the Dutch sailor spent his two dollars on a huge sack of dried peas. "When he drew near the ship again with his load the captain called him from the bridge: "Well, have you got those vege-' tables r " 'Aye, aye, sir,' said the sailor. " Then,' said the captain, "hand them up to cookie one at a time.' "'Shiver my timbers!' said the sailor, I've got a Job before me now. and no mistake!" SORE EYES CURED. Eye-Balls and Lids Became Terribly innamea was Unable to Go About All Other Treatments Failed, But Cuticura Proved Successful. "About two years ago my eyes cot In such a condition that I was unable to go about. They were terribly in flamed, both the balls and lids. I tried home remedies without relief. Then I decided to go to our family physician, but he didn't help them. Then I tried two more cf our most prominent physicians, but my eyes grew continually worse. At this time a friend of mine advised me to try Cuticura Ointment, and after using it about one week my eyes were con siderably improved, and in two weeks they were almost well. They have never given me any trouble since and I am now sixty-five years old. I shall always praise Cuticura. G. B. Halsey, Mouth of Wilson, Ya.. Apr. 4, 1908. Potter Drue Cbem.

"The Monday morning report of this sermon began: "The Rev. Dr. John Blank greased Qm pulpit on the occasion and so on. ""Graced, of course, is what was meant." . Absent All Around. The absent minded professor re turned home one evening, and, after ringing his front doorbell for some time to no effect, heard the maid's voice from the second story window: The professor is not in." "All right," quietly answered the professor; Til call again." And he hobbled down the stone steps. Lip- pincott's.

The Novel Type. In a late magazine story a perfectly lovely girl is described as follows: She was very small and dark, and very active, with hair like the color of eight o'clock daylight and darkness and lamplight all snared up together, and lips like all crude scarlet, and eyes as absurdly big and round as a child's good-by kiss." How do you like it? Would a girl who answered that description be worth shucks in everyday experi ences? Atchison Globe. Sheer white goods, in fact, any fine wash goods when new, owe much of their attractiveness to the way they are laundered, this being done in a manner to enhance their textile beau- ry. Home laundering would be equal ly satisfactory if proper attention wan given to starching, the first essential being good Starch, which has sufficient strength to stiffen, without thickening the goods.
