A Great Care

“I* have just been reading an article fin the care of the hippopotamus, ’ observed Proper. “I had no idea that these valuable beasts required such expert attention and such exacting— ’ “We Jknow all about it” interrupted Zoob. "Hippopotamus caretakers are born, not made. You have to be born to But did you eveV try to take care oi a kid?’’ “Let me tell you you have to be born to that, too, and what’s more, you have to be born a woman to hold down the job. Ltook care of my youngster while my wife went down to the dentist’s the other day. “My wife said that all L had to do jvas to keep him busy, keep him occupied. There is no wood to chop, so 1 put him to work watering tbe lawn.” “Just a minute,’’ said Proser, mark Ing his place in the magazine. “How old is the kid?” “Four," answered Zoob. “The worst nge of all. I didn’t start him watering the front lawn. Something warned me that that wouldn’t do. But I gave him the hose in the back yard and told him to water the lawn. In a few minutes I went out to see what ho was doing and found that I had left the cellar open and he was watering tbe cellar. "I put a stop to that, closed the cellar door and went back to my paper. ( hadn’t read very long before a feeling came over me that all was not well. I weDt out and found that he had disco* r fcred a hole in the wall of the woodshed and was watering the wood. I put an end to that and went bafek to my' leading. In about two minutes I had a presentiment of some fresh outrage and investigated. H 6 was squirting watei into the garbage can and watching it tircle around and around. I took the hose away from him. The grass was mostly dry, as he had found so many things to water instead of the lawn. Only in one spot had he watered the grass, but he had been so persistent there that he had mined out a lot of mud by the hydraulic process, which mud was running down on the neighbor’s walk. I dreaded to think of what the consequences would be. “I couldn’t think of any other stunts for him so told him to play in the yard and not to go away. Two seconds later he was clean out of sight. I chased all over the neighborhood, calling and whistling, and all the neighbors turned out to help me. He bad apparently been whisked hway. “In the midst of the hubbub he was discovered right in the yard sitting on the ground. He was playing with a couple of sticks fastened together and be was so absorbed that he hadn’t heard me calling him, altho my voice usually carries a mile, and must have carried farther than that on this occasion when I was so boiling mad and excited. “Never tal to me any more about the hippopotamus requiring expert attention.”

Mariar’s Last Hour

Mariar was going. For a week the housework had stood still, “because, ’ as Mrs. Woodside said, “you can’r ask a maid to do anything * when she 3 leaving.” For a week the kitchen range had been cold, likewise the water tank beside it; and, there being no gas heater lD the Woodside hpme, the grownups hod contented themselves wiih cold baths and the children with such purification as could be accomplished with occasional bediime teakettles of hot water. “I ought to have Mariar start the fire,” said the Mistress, “but it means lyinging op coal from the cellar and I’m afraid to ask her.’ The hour of Mariar’s departure had arrived. She lazied thru the breakfast dishwashing, then disappeared upstairs to pack. Mrs. Woodside went into the deserted kitchen and said, ‘Ncrw I’ll have a fire and boilerful ot hot water at last.’’ She brought kindling and coal from the lower regions, she built the fire and stoked it for an hour, until the water tank gave out a grateful heat. Then she went to look for Mariar. The outgoing maid was not in her room. Mrs. Woodside came down from the third floor perplexed. Could Mariar have gon<?without saying good by? Then from behind the closed door of the bathroom came the joyous sound* of one luxuriating in a porcelain tub filled with glorious hot water. Mariar was taking a bath.’

An Expensive Shade

When a trolley conductor on tho night turn woke up one jafternoon hi* ndustrious little wife brought out for nis admiration a lamp shade made of colored tissue paper. She had made It with her own hands, and its scalloped border wasrperforated with innumerable little homsf'thru which the light of a pdrlor lamp would- fall on the table, “Telhmie if you don't think it pretty” sjie said, holding the shade out for th<V husband to Inspect. “It looks loveiy,” began the man; but as he looked at It more closely he turned pale and said, “You mad* t„ese holes with my bell punch?’’ V'Yob, dear, while you were asleep. But what is the matter?" asked hi* wife. 1 y. ■■ “Oh, nothing,” he murmured, faintly; “you've only rung up enough fare* on that lamp shade to mortgage my yoar*s salary. Every one of those boles will cost m§ five cents, that’s,all.’'

WILL LOCKED IN TRUNK SINCE CIVIL WAR DAYS

Maker Disappeared Sixty Years Ago, Leaving Strange Injunction to Nephew \ Joplin, Mo. —There is in the possession of Lee W. Peters, who lives in Chitwood, a trunk and a will of Calvin E. Butler, an uncle who has been missing for nearly sixty years. Butler left for Australia, and his last injunction to his fiephew, who lived near U. S. Grant’s old home in Galena, 111., was to keep the trunk and the will, which bestows everything in it on Peters, until he felt sure that he, Butler was dead. When he felt thus sure he was to have the will probated. Peters does nflt know what is in the trunk, but as Butler had been a successful “49er” in California, he thinks there is gold inside. He recently told neighbors that he will not present the will for probate until 1925, at which time if Calvin Butler is still alive he will have attained the age of 100 years. Another uncle of Peters, a brother to Butler lived to be that age. The trunk will have to be broken open, for Butler took the keys with him. There are three locks, and Peters acknowledges that he has often tried to unlock them with various keys, but has invariable failed. He resolved not to force it open until the time limit he had set expires.

Danger Signal. If the Are bell should ring would you run and stop it or go and help to put out the fire ? It is much the same way with a cough. A cough is a danger signal as much as a fire bell. You should no more try to suppress it than to stop a fire bell when it is ringing, but should cure the disease that causes the coughing. This can nearly always be done by taking Chamberlain’s Cough Remedy. Many have used it with the most beneficial results. It js especially valuable for the persistent cough that ro often follows a bad cold or an attack of the grip. Mrs. Thomas Beeching, Andrews, Ind., writes: “During the winter my husband takes cold easily and coughs and coughs. Chamberlaiu’s Cough Remedy is, this test medicine for breaking up these attacks and you cannot get him to take any other.” For sale by B. F. Fendig. 0 Bere I* the Real Thing. Mr. Farmer.

TWICE PROVEN.

If you suffer backache, sleepless nights, tired, dull days and distressing urinary disorders, don’t experiment. Read this twice-told testimony. ,It’s Rensselaer evidence—doubly proven. Mrs. Aaron Hickman, W. Vine St., Rensselaer, says: “I had such severe backaches, headaches and pains across my loins that I couldn’t sleep well. I felt tired and womout when morning came. -The kidney secretions were highly Colored and I had .no strength or ambition to do anything. I finally used Doan’s Kidney Pills, procured from B. F. Fehdig’s Drug Store and they gave me relief at once. They strengthened my kidneys, relieved me of the backache and gave me strength and ambition.” (Statement given May 31, 1907.) On February 29, 1916, Mrs. Hickman said: “Doan’s Kidney Pills have done the same good work in the family that I described as my experience in a former recommendation. They are a fine medecine and I shall always praise them.” Price 50c, at all dealers. Don’t simply ask for a kidney Doan’s Kidney Pills—the same that Mrs. Hickman has twice publicly recommended.
