THROAT TROUBLE
Dear, Children Do you know that Indian mothers TIE their babies'
mouths shut? Do you know WHY they do It?
Indian mothers pay a great deal of attention to THEIR babies. Indian
mothers do not bother to powder their faces. They do not wear high-heeled
shoes, nor do they belong to any clubi or play bridge. .
Indian mothers devoto a great deal of time to raising strong "braves"
and "squaws."
If you keep your mouth open and breathe through it you chill your
throat and do a lot of damage to the delicate organs back of your mouth.
-On the other hand, that noso of yours is made to catch the dust. Delicate
hairs sift the air, so that it is cleansed before it reaches your lungs. Tho walls
of your noso aro HEATED, so that air passing over them is HEATED and
passes into your lungs warmed.
KEEP YOUR IOUTH SHUT!
Your interested, friend,
PARMER SMITH, Children's qditor.

I do not Ilko to tell you THAT.

"Oh, you don't, don't you I Well "
But Just at that minute u great big
eagle came and sat on the foot of the bed.
"Bite my talons," commanded the big bird.
"Oh, dear I" thought Willie.
Beforo he could reply a brown bear sat
on the very place where the eagle had been.
"Bite my claws I" The bear looked straight
at Willie.
"Oh. dearJ" Willie wondered what It
was all about. Just a he was ready to
answer the bear he saw a tiny pony stand,

MI83 FALOMA'8 answer was unexpected,
nnd came with equal emphasis: "No.
ou didn't, father. The miserable thing lest
money "
Blase waa only momentarily dismayed.
Then he Joined tn his visitor's laughter.
"How can a man get alorjg without the co
operation of hit own household!" he In
quired, naively. "Maybe It was next year
I was thinking about" Thereafter he oen
lined himself to statements which required
no corroboration.
When, after supper. Blaze had hitched a
pair of driving mules to hla buckboard,
preparatory to showing hla guest the
glories of Jonesvllle, Dave said:
"Paloma's getting mighty pretty."
"She's as pretty as a blue-bonnet flower,"
her father agreed. "And she runs me
around something scandalous. I ain't got
tho freedom of a peon." Blaze sighed and
shook hla shaggy head. "You know me,
f)ae I nover used to be seared of no
body. Well. It's different now. She rides
me with a Spanish bit. and my eoul ain't
my own." With a sudden lightening of his
gloom, he added, "Say, you're going to
stay right hero with us as long as you're
In town: I want you to seo how I cringe."
In spite of Blase's plaintive tone It waa
patent that he was Inordinately proud of
raloma and well content with his serfdom.
Jonesvllle proved to be a typical Texas
town of the modern variety, and altogether
different to the pictured frontier village.
There were no one-storied square fronts,
no rows of saloons with well-gnnwed
hitching ral(s, no rioting cowboys. On the
contrary, the larger buildings were of arti
ficial atone, the sidewalks of concrete, and
the store fronts of plate glass, Aro lights
shed a blulsh-whtte glare over the wide
street crossings, and all In all the effeot
was much like that Of a prosperous, orderly
northern farming town.
Not that Jonesvllle would have filled an
eye for beauty. It waa too new and crude
and awkward for that. It fitted loosely Into
Its clothes, for Its citizens had patterned
It with regard for the future, nnd It
sprawled over twloe Its legitimate area. But
to Its happy founder It seemed well nigh
perfect, and Its destiny roused his maddest
enthusiasm. He showed Dave the little red
frame railroad station, distinguished In
some mysterious way above the hundred
thousand other little red frame railroad
stations of the Identical size and style; he
pointed out the Odd Fellows' Hall, the
I'alaoe Picture Theater, with Its glaring
orange lights and discordant electrto
piano; he conducted Law to the First Na
tional Bank, of which Blaze waa a proud
but somewhat ornamental director; then
to the sugar mill, Ute tco plant and other
points of equally novel Interest.
Everywhere he went, Jones was hailed
by friends, for everybody seemed to know
him and to want to shake his hand.
"Some town and some body of men. eh?"
he Inquired, finally, and Dave agreed:
Tet. Sho'n got a grand framework.
Blaze. She'll be moat as big as Fort Worth
when you fatten her up."
Jones waved his buggy whip In a wide
circle that took In tho miles of lovol
prairie on ntl sides. 'We've got the whole
blamed Stute to grow In. And, Dave, I
haven't got an enemy In the place! It
wasn't many years ago that certain people
allowed I'd never lUe to raise this town.
Why, It used to be that nobody dared to
ride with me except Paloma, and she
used to sleep with ti shotgun at her bed
side." "Vou sure have been a responsibility to
her."
"But I'm as safe as If r was In church."
Law vontured to remark that none of
Blaze's enemies had grown fat In prose
cuting their feuds, but thht was a subject
which the elder man Invariably found em
barrassing, and now he said)
"Pshaw! I never was the blood-letter
people think. I'm aa gentle aa a rheep."
Then to escape further curiosity on that
point he suggested that they round out
their riotous evening with a game of pool.
Law boasted a libera! education, but he
was no match for the father of Jonesvllle,
who wielded a cue with n dexterity born
of years of devotion to tha game. In con
sequence, Blase's enjoyment was In a fair
way to languish when tho proprietor of
the Elite Blllard Parlor returned from sup
per to sayt
"Mr. Jones, there's a real good pool
player In town, and he wants to meet
you."
Blaze uttered a triumphant cry. "net
him, quick I Send the brass band to bring
him. Dave, you hook your spurs over the
rung of a chair and watch your unola clean
this tenderfoot If he's got class, I'll make
him Muyor of the town, for a good pool
ehooter N all this metropolis lacks. Why,
sometimes I go plumb to San Antone for
a game." Ho whispered In his friend's ear,
"Paloma don't lot me gamble, but If you've
got any dlnero, get It down on me." Then,
addressing the bystanders, lie proclaimed,
"Boys, If this pilgrim is good enougli to
stretch ine out we'll marry him oft and
settle him down."
"No chance, Uncle Blaze; he's the most
married person In town," tome one volun
teered, "ills wife Is the new dressmaker
and she's got a mustache," For some
reason this remark excited genera! mirth.
"That's too bad, I never saw but one
woman with a mustache, and she licked
me good. If he's yoked up to that kind
of a lady, I allow hfs nerves will be wrecked
before he gets here. I hope to Ood ht
ain't entirely done for," Blase ran the
last three balls from a well-nigh Impossible
position, then racked up the whole fifteen
with trembling eagerness ahd eyed the
door expectantly, He was wiping his spec
tacles when the proprietor returned with
a slim, sallow man whom he Introduced as
Mr, Strange.

Mr. Strange selected a cue, studied the
pyramid for an Instant then called the
three ball fer the upper left-hand comer,
and porkefed It following whlh he ran
the remaining fourteen. Blase watefced this
procedure nearsightedly, and when, the table
waa bare he thumped his cue loudly upon
the floor. He beamed upon hla opponent!
he appeared ready to embraee htm.
"Bueno I There's art aolenoe and natural
aptitude! Fly at 'em again, Mr, Strange,
and take your fill." He finished polishing
his spectacles and readjusted them. "I
aim to make you so comfortable In Jones
villa that " Blase paused, he started,
and a peculiar expression crept over hla
rase.
ft seemed to Law that his friend actually
turned pale; at any rata, his mouth dropped
open and his gate waa no longer hypnotical
ly following the pool balls, but waa fixed
upon hi opponent
Now there were chapters tn the life et
Blaze Jones that had never been fully writ
ten, and It occurred to Dave that sueh a
one had been suddenly reopened; therefore
he prepared himself for some kind of an
outburst But Blase appeared to be
numbed; ha even Jumped nervously when
Mr. Strange missed a shot and advised
him that Ills chance had come.
As water escapes from a leaky pall, so
had Jonett'a fondness for pool oozod away,
and with It had gone his accustomed skill.
He shot blindly, and, much to the general
surprise, missed an easy attempt
"Can't expect to get em all," comfort
ingly observed Mr. Strange as he executed
a combination that netted him two balls
and broke the bunch. After that ha proved
the Insincerity of his statement by clearing
tho cloth for n second time. The succeed
ing frames went much the same, nnd finally
Blaze put up hi, cue, mumbling:
"1 reckon I must have another chill com
ing on. My feet are plumb dead."
"Cold feet aro sure bad," Strange fav
ored the crowd with a wink.
Tn sort cf slok."
That's tough!" the victor exclaimed, re
gretfully. "But I'll tell you what we'll do
we'll take a little look Into the future."
"What d'you meanr
"Simply this: Nature has favored me
with second sight and the ability to read
fortunes. I foretell good an' evil, questions
of love and mattermony by means of num
bers, cards, dice, dominoes, apple parings,
egg shells, tea leaves, an' coffee grounds,"
The speaker's voice had taken on the brazen
tones of a clrous barker. "I pro'nostlcate
by charms, ceremonies, omens, nnd moles:
by the features of thn face, lines of the
hand, spots ah' blemishes of the skin. I
peak the language of flowers, I know
one hundred and eighty-seven weather
signs, and I Interpret dreams. Now. ladles

they appear to be the effect of chance, are
nevertheless of the utmost consequence,

cards"
Tho monologtBt, suiting the action to the
word, conjured a deck of cards from some
where, and extended them to Blare, "Select
one; any one "
"Hell!" snorted Jones, slipping Info hla
coat
"You are a skeptic! Very we'll. I con
vince nobody against his will. But wait!
You have a strong face. Stand where you
are." Extracting from another pocket n
tiny pair of scissors and a sheajt at carbon
paper, Mr, Strange, with the undivided at
tention of the audience upon him, began
to cut Blaze's silhouette. Ale was extraor
dinarily adept, and despite, his subject's
restlessness he comploted the likeness In a
few moments: then, fixing It upon a plain
white cardboard, lie presented it' witn a
flourish.
Blaze accepted the thing and plunged for
