Millie ui papa and bona! Brown
Bess, tbe pretty borse with the seal
brown coat, were out for winter'
slelgh-rlde.
All at once papa said, "A rabbit ran
Hong beside tbe road here tbis very
morning, early. lie was in no hurry,
bnt went along as though be were out
limply for a stroll! When be got as
far as this some now fell off that tree
ver there and gave Bunny a great
tart. How be ran! Pretty soon be
stopped, stood up on bis bind legs and
looked all a boat."
"Why, papa," cried Millie, "you soun 1
lust like a fortune-teller! How do you
know what happened here this morn
ing?" Papa laughed. "Then the rabbit
started off as fast as be could go," he
went on. "Along about here be began
to get over his fright, and went more
slowly." They were Just going down a
short hill. At tbe foot of it papa said.
"At this point a partridge bad been
having bis breakfast, and Bunny stop
ped to see what the bill-of-fare bad
Seen!"
Millie was too astonished now to say
'Oh!"
Brown Bess was trotting gaily along
is papa went on. "After Bunny bad
tone ly this place a big dog got over
that stone wall and started after him.
though tbe rabbit wasn't in sight, for
the animal was only going at a 'dog
trot' when he went along here!"
Pretty soon papa said, "There, I feel
-elieved! Tbe dog changed bis m!nd
xrnen he got here and gave up follow
as Runnv! Ma vbe he suddenly remeui
m'ivii now dc couiu get a breakrast a
good deal easier."
Millie had found her voice by this
time.
"rapa Harold," she said, "dn tell m
:his minute how you know ail that!"
Papa laughed again. "By the tracks
along the roadside," be said. "It stop
ped snowing about 4 o'clock this morn
ing, so the tracks must have been made
after that. Babbits' tracks are In pairs
side by side. When Bunny went slowly
tbe pairs of tracks were near together.
I knew he was frightened by a bit of
falling snow, because I saw where a
little bunch bad fallen, and from there
an for several rods the pairs of tracks
were far apart. That meant be was
running.
"There was a peculiar pressure In
the snow that meant to me, 'Here
Bunny stood up to see what that soft
aolse was.' He felt satisfied that no
a arm was near, because bis tracks
were near together after that. I saw
ft-here a partridge had dug away the
Ight snow to find its breakfast, leaving
ta footprints in tbe snow, and Bunny's
iraoks showed that be stopped and
looked Into the hole. I knew a dog's
traok, too, and followed bis course in
the same way."
"Why, papa," said Millie, "it's Just
-eadlng a page out of 'Nature's Stor
Book,' isn't it?"
"Yes," said Papa Harold, "a white
page, with tbe writing all done by the
tutbor'a feet!" Youth's Companion.
Odd eigne ef Hespect.
Tbe people of different races bave
nays of their own of greeting one an
ither. Some of these ways are very
lueer to us. For Instance: When an
squlinau wishes to show admiration
ind devotion to another man he pulls
tbe man's nose. The greater bis respect
the harder be pulls. That being the
ease. It would seem that a man who
placed much value on his proboscis
ivould not strive to become popular.
3ome tribes of Hindoostan show re
ipect by stretching out tbe arm and
placing the tip of he thumb on the oth
er's nose. In South Africa a man turns
his back to his superiors. As a general
thing. South Sea Islanders sit down
when speaking to a person of higher
rank than their own which is Just tbe
oposite of our rules of etiquette. A
Chinaman's Idea of showing respect Is
to put on his hat where we would take
It off. Another thing worth noting is
this: That most common method by
which our relatives express their affec
tion when meeting namely, kissing
Is looked upon as sure evidence of
heathenism by many people as native
Australians, New Zealanders, Papuans
ind Esquimaux, for instance. They
ever think of such a thing. Their laws

The Fentence Pronounced Upon an

The tribunal of Modlca, In tbe Slcil
fas province of Syracuse, kaa Just pro
nounced a sentence which ta declared
t have no parallel In tbe Judicial an
nate of Italy, as it has probably few ii;
those of any other country. A un;i
named Lupo Salvatore, of Comiso, bad
passed himself off as an advocate, and
bad with consummate skill committed
sixty-three different acts of serious
fraud, in which he succeeded in usiu.
the machinery of the law. He had
forged the signatures of the president
and Judges of tbe high court, of tbe
king's procurator, and of the chancel
lor of the court. From this last-mentioned
official he bad even, with splen
lid audacity, stolen for a short time tbe
seal of the chancery, which he needed
to give effect to his fraudulent docu
menta. The sentenee Is even more re
markable thaa the crimes. Salvatore
svas condemned to three years' Impris
ument on lach of tbe sixty-three cases,
tvhich brings the total of the sentence
to 189 years, though tbe longest incar
. cration which tbe convict can be legal
y made to undergo Is thirty years. Tbe
penalty inflicted is in each case the
uinlmua for tbe effeaae. Had the court

ONE reason Mrs. Pinkhara's treatment helps women SO
promptly is that they hava confidence in her.
Through some of the many thousands of Mrs. Pink
ham's friends an ailing; woman will be led to write to Mrs.
Pinkham at her home in Lynn,
Mass., and will tell her symptoms.
The reply, made without charge of
any kind, will bear such evidence
of knowledge of the trouble that
belief in her advice at once inspires
hope.
This of itself is a great help.
Then the knowledge that women only see the letters asking
for advice and women only assist Mrs. Pinkham in replying
makes it easy to be explicit about the little things that define
the disease.

about four years I was a great sufferer from female troubles. I

To Prevent Sleep Walkia?.
A device to prevent sleep-walking Is
to lay upon the floor, by the side of the
somnambulist's bed a sheet of Iron,
zinc or other metal, wide enough to in
sure that he will step upon it When
the sleep-walking fit comes upon him
ais foot touches the cold surface of tbe
metal and be instinctively draws that
leg into bed again. After two or three
attempts the somnambulist gives It up
and settles down in bed.

homeward, "that my war record is noi

In bis room smoking many big, strong,
meditative pipes.
Tbe next evening he honored Miss
Fremont with another call, at whict
she was scarcely able to conceal bei
surprise. It did not seem the natural
order of things for the rebuffed nay
almost ridiculed suitor to bob up sc
serenely. Perhaps her sarcasms had
not been appreciated. She would make
It certain that this young gentleman
should no longer be In doubt as to her
sentiments regarding soldiers who al
lowed themselves to be kept safely In
camp, while their brothers men ol
sterner stuff were battling In blood tot
their country's glory.
"I am so glad that your poor wounded
neck does not keep you Indoors," waf
her sarcastic greeting. "Such a seriom
hirt was enough to keep any man oui
of battle."
McKennoy smiled grimly. "You arc
pleased to be facetious. Miss Fremont
Bnt It was not so easy as you imagined
to get to the front. We tried our best."
"Yes, you are right. It needed men.
Why. from the beginning even tbt
newspapers knew that if there was tc
be any fighting Teddy's Terrors would
be right in tbe thickest of it, and they
were. Col. Roosevelt is a man with a

rupted McKennoy, hoping to get bet
out of that strain.
"Ah, Jealous!" she cried, "jealous
Really, Mr. McKennoy, if yon are sc
Jealous of those who bave proven them
selves men of sterner stuff than your
self, you should at least have the tact
to conceal It."
"Women are always cruel," the lieu
teaant remarked sadly.
"Cruel," she cried. Indignantly
staraightening up In her chair. "Cruel:
But I noticed that Company D was so
utterly lacking in cruelty, so fearful ol
hurting someone, of wounding the oor
Spauiards honor, that they were care
ful not to leave their camp. Lieut. Mc
Kennoy, I should think that you would
expire from shame. Twenty thousand
heroes bore tbe suffering of crowded
transports, and bearded the enemy in
bis lair. The gallant Rough Riders
charged blm tbe first day. Their broth
ers, their fighting brothers, were not be
hind. Their names are writ in blood on
the slopes of Caney and San Juan.
Nothing kept them from the front. For
ward, ever forward, they went right up
to tbe cannon's mouth; 'guns to the
right of them, guns to the left of them;'
men dropping around them like bail
or er bullets bullets, dropping
around them like hail, men falling as
er as grass before the scythe. Heroee
tbey were, etc."
McKennoy had always known thai
she was a beautiful girl, but as s!if
stood before him now with eyes flash
ing, a burning red spot In each check
trembling In ber enthusiasm, she madt
such a glorious picture that he vowed a
mighty vow in his Inmost soul that she
should be his; and the Rough Riders,
and all other heroes, individually and
collectively, might rot In their graver
before tbey got her.
"In the drama of war, Miss Fremont,"
he said, "all the star parts are not cast
on tbe field of battle. Some of tbe sub
llmest scenes are acted out In the quiet
camp, unheralded to the public, seen
only by the few. Those whose lot It is
to light, tt may be to rail to shetl fro:u

blood are fortunate Indeed. They mr. y
be brave men; they may be cravens whe
go forward only because they fear tbe
Jeers of their comrades; these are cow
ards. Whatever their Impelling motive,
they are urged on by the knowledge
that an expectant nation at home will
reet with loud acclaim their sllghtes:

be awaiting them. But we poor devils

"Ask some of those poor devils whose

and they will tell you stories of that

to call him your friend."
"I had never thought of all that," she
said.
"There were a hundred chances of

in did not speak, "to one among those

best products, which contribute most effectually to per
sonal comfort and health. Tbe contest of high quality
and original efforts, which give universal satisfaction,
against the cheap and meretricious imitations will ever
continue, and the greatest protection against mercenary
dealers is in being well Informed. In the medicinal sphere
tbe well-known laxative remedy. Syrup of Figs, manufac
tured by the California Fig Syrup Co., is used by many who
are enjoying good health and by many others who are seek
ing health, and tbis is true to so great an extent that it is
often called the remedy of the healthy. The excellence of
Syrup of Figs is due not only ' to the originality and sim
plicity of the combination, but also the care and skill with
which It Is manufactured by scientific processes known only
to the California Fig Syrup Co. Therefore we wish to im
press on all the importance of accepting the true and
original remedy only. When buying note the full name
California Fig Syrup Co. printed on the front of every
package, as there are many imitations sold under similar
names and the Imitations are reaHy Injurious to tbe sys
tem. The true and oiiginal remedy. Syrup of Figs, is manu
factured by the California Fig Syrup Co. only, and when you
see the name of any other Fig Syrup Co. printed on any pack
age you may know that It is a fictitious company and has
no real existence, and that the dealer who offers It to you is
seeking by cunning and misrepresentation to take advantage
of you in order to make a larger profit.

No amount of argument can convince the experienced,
honest grocer that any other soap will give his customers
such general satisfaction as Ivory Soap. He knows that
they prefer Ivory Soap to new kinds, of unknown quality.
Ivory Soap will sell because the people want it, the
other soaps may look like Ivory, but his customers want
the real thing they may buy a new soap once to try it,
but they come back again and again for Ivory Soap, and
they insist on having it.

M laat Find the Effecte of 1 heae Prag
Invaluable.
Of the two queerest drugs In the
world the one called "ezcal" Is the one
most to be avoided. It Is a South Amer
ican product, and made by the tropical
Indians there.
A grain of It will make you feel the
need of violent exertion, and once you
Kin thr la no stopping. You walk
UU you die. Moreover, you do not walk
straight ahead, but in a little circle of
two or three yards' diameter. You
tramp wildly and steadily on, seeing
nothing, and not suffering actual pain,
but with all your nerves on fire and
your brain spinning. You do not stop
walking tin you drop dead In your
tracks. The extreme vitality is kept up
till the last moment. Some of the In
dians have a way of dosing their cap
tives with this drug, sitting round the
victim while he walks.
The other drug Is a European prod
uct called "rinard," and also acts on
the brain- A common result of this
drug when taken In any quantity is to
cause an-insane desire In an educated
man, at any rate to do sums. It devel
ops the arithmetical powers to a won
derful extent, thongh only for a short
time. The Tlctim's chief desire is to
get hold of pencil and paper, and once
this is done he scribbles figures, some
times making attempts at adding them
up, but never getting them right. Pres
enly the figures become mere scrawls,
and tbe usual result Is death or Insan
ity. It Is well known to men of sci
ence, and Is used in some kinds of medi
cine by homeopath is ta.
