NEW SHORT STORIES
Clinrity of Duo Rice.
The circus has not always been con
Hidercd a desirable adjunct to the
I church, and it must have been a des
perate situation that tempted a group
! cf Indiana women to seek aid in such
' a quarter.
It happened at a time when the fa
mous Dan Bice was trying to steer his
circus through financial breakers. He
had got rts far as Vineeunes, and there
one day In a melancholy mood he was
standing in front of the tent figuring
on the prospect of getting out of town
at all and gloomily listening to dis
paraging comments on his band by the
townsfolk when he was approached by
a party of ladles, one of whom said:
"Colonel Bice, we have always heard
of you as a very charitable man. Un
fortunately our eliureli has been dam
aged and needs a new roof. We
thought you might be willing to sub
scribe toward it."
The humor of the situation appealed
to the old showman. Here he was,
without a dollar he could call his own,
asked to contribute to charity. He
j pulled a nickel out of his pocket and
said with the utmost gravity:
j "Ladies, this may appear to you a
! small amount, but it represents all the
I money I possess. However, I believe
I heartily in the cause you are pleading,
| and I shall not utterly refuse your re
-1 quest. 1 promise you that if this show
does any business here I will not only
I contribute toward repairing your
! church, but 1 will put a new roof on
it."
For one reason or another—perhaps
the ladies might explain it—the two
performances that day netted so large
| a sum that the old showman was en
abled to pay his way to the next town
and the church to rejoice in a new roof.
Mnrtc Mr. McKinley' Speech.
A well known general of the civil
war, who lias since become prominent
in United States politics and is now a
I senator from one of the western states,
: was going to speak at a political meet-
I ing at Marlboro, 0., and so also was
Mr. McKinley, then a congressman.
| They drove down from Canton togeth
er. As they were driving along the
j general asked his companion for some
! suggestions, and the latter kindly ex-
I plained the situation and advanced ar
' guments In support of the position of
I the Republican party. Mr. McKinley,
| as usual, had Ids subject well in hand,
j but, in addition, was fortified with
notes giving certain statistics in cor
roboration of his argument. He told
I "MAJOR, JUST ITAND ME THOSE DOCUMENTS."
the general about what line of thought
j he intended to pursue In making bis
speech at Marlboro, and the latter,
, who was to speak first, agreed that lie
| would say very little and would leave
j the bulk of argument to Mr. McKin
ley. The general duly made his bow
' to the audience and began his speech,
i As he became warmed up the recol
lection of what Mr. McKinley had been
talking about on the way to the meet-
Ling became stronger, and be began
pursuing the line of argument that his
| companion had prepared for himself.
I The general laid down his proposition
i just as the major had done in the car
i rlage and finally said: "And I can
; prove all this. Major, just hand me
those documents." And then he pro
| oeeded to read at length from Mr. Me-
Kinlcy's notes. When the general had
1 finished, there was little left for the
major to say.—Chicago News.
Mr. Corn wnllia-Went'* Wit.
Not so long ago Joseph Chamberlain
refused, with that firmness, not to say
obstinacy, that is so irritating to the
Inquiring mind, to discuss the war with
I Mrs. George Cornwallis-West. "I see,"
! she said sweetly, "you prefer to discuss
! your indiscretions in public." Not long
i after the colonial secretary made some
; rather sarcastic remark about the po
litical activity of certain women, add
t lug that be could not understand why
| American wotueu, who kept out of pol
; itics at home, overwhelmed us in Eng
| land. "Ah," said Mrs. Cornwallis-West
Innocently, "American men arc too in
[ | telligent to need our educating influ
ence."
Let Into a Secret.
j During General Sherman's famous
I "march to the sea" both north and
j south were completely mystified as to
what point the general was striking
j for, and one day an old Georgia plant
er who had called at his headquarters
and enjoyed his good cheer asked him
. boldly if he had any objection to tell
ing where Ids army was bound. "Not
| the least," said Sherman. Then, lean
ing over, he whispered in his guest's
j ear, hut so loudly that everybody else
i i In the tent overheard it, "We are going
' I pretty much where we please!"

Mothers who are seeking the ideal and proper medicine to give their little ones for
constipation diarrhoea, colic and simple fevers will And LAXAKOLA the great family
remedy.
It is the best and most effective laxative for children. BEST because it is safe and
made entirely of harmless ingredients. BEST because it is non-irritating and never
gripes or causes pain or irritation. BEST because it is sure aud never fails. BEST
because " Children like it and ask for it." '
It is a dangerous thing to give little lwbies violent remedies that rack and rend
their little bodies. DON'T DO IT—give them LAXAKOLA. j
A few drops can be given with safety to very young babies, and will often relieve
colic by expelling the wind and gas that cause it, and it also will cheek simple fevers,
break up colds and clear the coated tongue.
Great relief is experienced when ndministered to young children suffering from
diarrho-a, accompanied with white or green evacuations, from the fact that LAXAKOLA
neutralizes the acidity of the bowels and carries out the cause of fermentation, uids
digestion, relieves rcstlessne.-s. assists nature and induces sleep.

Horrid Joke Played Upon a Woman
liy ller Too Funny IIUHIIIIIMI.
"It is nil right for a man to have a
sense of humor," a young clubwoman
remarked, "but In the effort to enjoy
life themselves and make it cheerful
for other people some men often go a
trifle too far. That's the way with
Harry. When lie gets funny, he occa
i slonally gets too funny, or, what is just
| us bad, he- gets funny iii the wrong
place or at the wrong time.
"The other day we were down iu a
little southern country town which Is
notoriously the Gretna Green of its'
state. Elderly or middle aged people
who want quiet weddings and eloping
young people all flock to Blunktown to
be married ny the justice of the peace.
He does such a large and flourishing
business in tlds line that he has a sign
in his office, 'Matrimonial Parlors,' and
the pavement in front is generally till
ed with loafers in chairs waiting to be
entertained by the always interesting
spectacle of a wedding.
"Well, 1 heard of the 'Matrimonial
Parlors' and was curious just to look
at the place, so suggested to Harry
that we walk out that street and pass
It. It was rather late In the afternoon,
but tlio door stood open, tlie elderly jus
tice was sitting outside ready for busi
ness, and the pavement was tilled with
men in chairs. To my amazement and
horror when we were right in front of
the door Harry seized me by the arm,
pulled me toward the steps and said
in a loud voice:
" 'Come on, now, Polly. Don't try
to hack out. When we were here he
fore, you hacked out, hut I'm not going
to let you back out this time. Come
on; come right in.'
"The justice stood up at once, and
the men In tho chairs shuttled around
and stood up too.
" 'Harry,' I ejaculated In an excited
undertone and pulling away with all
my might, 'what do you mean? What
on earth do you mean?'
" 'There It Is,' he said to the justice,
still holding me and pretending to pull
me toward the door. 'That's the way
she does. We were up here before,
and she backed out. I'm not going to
let her back out this time. Now come
011 in. Polly. Come on!'
" 'My name Is not Polly,' 1 explained
to the justice, 'and we've been married
five years,' 1 added. 'Do come along
and behave yourself, Harry.'
'• 'Now look at that,' he explained
apologetically. 'You see. It Isn't my
fault. You can't depend on girls. They
never know their own minds. Well,
| goodby, justice. I'll get her up hero
again some day.'
! "The justice sat down, looking like
a man wickedly cheated out of $2, and
the sidewalk gentlemen all sank back
in their chairs. Harry laughed all the
. way home, but 1 didn't laugh at all.
111 fact, I am mad yet whenever I
think of It. Wasn't ho horrid?"— D

FOR THE HOUSEWIFE

I New bread Is well known to be loss
1 digestible than stale bread, although it
1 need not he so. There can be 110 ques
tion, however, of the vastly superior
flavor of the former, and hence the
' j preference of many people for hot rolls
! for breakfast, says the Baltimore Dai
i j ly News. So far the palate would np
/ ; pear not to be a safe guide to diges-
j tion. Hot rolls, however, when mastl
; ! cated properly, should not offer any
difficulty to the digestive organs. A
■ | slice of stale, bread, on being broken
• | with the teeth, resolves Into more or
1 j less hard, gritty particles, which, uu
' | less they were softened by the saliva,
, | would bo almost Impossible to swnl-
P low. The particles would irritate the
j throat and the gullet. The fact is,
1 therefore, that man Is compelled thor
: 1 oughly to masticate and to impregnate
• | stale bread with saliva before he swal
; | lows it. This act, of course, partially
, j digests the bread and thus makes it
. j In a fit state for digestion and absorp
. | tion farther on In the alimentary tract.
1 This is why stale bread appears to be
1 more digestible than new bread.
f j New bread. 011 the contrary, Is soft,
doughy or plastic, and there appears
1 to be no necessity to soften It with sn
! llva; hence it escapes the preliminary
1 digestive action of the ptyalin of the
. saliva. New bread, in other words, Is
r In reality "bolted," and "bolting" ae-
| counts for many of the Ills arising
j from dyspepsia. Accordingly hot rolls
1 should be enjoyed for breakfast with
-1 j jout any fear of dyspepsia so long as
j the bread is good and so long as pains
1 are taken to masticate it thoroughly.
