If You Are Sick It is because some of the organs of the body are not doing their work well. There is a lack of that nervous energy that gives them motion. Consequently you are weak, worn-out, nervous, irritable, cannot sleep; have headache, indigestion, etc. because there is not sufficient nerve force to keep the organs active and allow them to perform their natural functions. Dr. 'Miles’ Nervine restores health because it restores this nervous energy. "I have been sick for a year, and did not know what was the matter with me. I tried many remedies and none of them proved of any value. I heard of Dr. Miles' Nervine. I procured a bottle, and before I had taken half of it I was better. I would have had nervous prostration if I had not ?ot this medicine when I did. I coninued to take it until*l was entirely ■well. I have since recommended it to five of my lady friends, and they have all thanked me for doing so, for it benefited them all.” MRS. ROSH OTTO, 189 8. 3d St., Columbus, Ohio. Dr. Miles’ Nervine la sold by your druggist, who will guarantee that the ■first bottle wilt benefit. -If It fails, ho will refund vour money. Miles Medical Co., Elkhart, Ind

Miss Deakins’ Dog.

By Philip Kean.

Copyrighted, 1907, by Homer Sprague.

“Jenks,” said Miss Deakins, “don’t go across the hall again.” Jenks flopped .down on the door mat ■nd sighed', canine fashion. “Ton understand?" said Miss Deakins. Jenks wagged a disconsolate tall and closed his eyes. “Very well,” and Miss Deakins went in and shut the door, withdrawing from Jenks the vision of her trim figure, enveloped in a blue linen apron, down the front of which traveled splotches of paint. Jenks, outside on the mat, heard a faint whistle and lifted one ear. Then he whined softly. A door opened across the hall. “Cuts it and run, Jenksie,” said a masculine voice. Jenks yawned eagerly, but did not move. “Come.on,” wheedled the man on the other door mat. Jenks stood up and wagged his tail. There was a “get thee behind me, Satan,” protest in his attitude, coupled with yielding. And just thendMlss Deakins opened her door. “Were you calling my dog?” she demanded. “Yes. You don't mind, do you?” The man came toward her as he said it. He wore a shabby velveteen coat, and the paint stains matched those on Miss Deakins’ apron. “I do mind,” Miss Deakins assured him. “Jenks has been taught to He on tils mat until 12 o’clock. Then he has his lunch with me.” “Such beautiful regularity,” murmured the man in the velveteen coat. Miss Deakins flushed. “I don't see why he wants always to go to your room.” “Of course you dofi’t see,” he agreed, “but—but Jenks is rather fond of me”— “You give him ham bones,” she accused him. “I do. There are some people and some dogs to whom you have to give things in order to make them love you. Perhaps Jenks is not that kind of dog. JPerhaps he may have a soul above

“THERE'S A FIRE ESCAPE FROM MY WTNDOW.”

bam bones. Perhaps without bam bones Jenks might love me. Psychologically it’s interesting, but I don’t want to put it to the test. 1 value Jenks’ affection too highly to seek the cause.” “Pm too busy,” she reminded him, “to talk in the abstract. And Td rather you didn’t call Jenks.” “Very well,” he said formally and went back to his room and shut the door. * x Miss Deakins stood irresolutely on her door mat, with Jenks by her side, and looked at the closed door. There was red in her cheeks and there was a tremble In her voice as she said to the dog: “Come on, Jenks. I’m sorry you can’t be trusted, but you can’t.” And as they entered the shabby little room, lighted into, whiteness and glare by a great skylight, she went on, “I don’t believe I can tj?ust anybody, not •ven a dog, Jenksie.’’ She painted all the afternoon, and as the twilight came on she sat and looked out over the roofs, and Jenks •at beside her with his cold nose in her hand, and when a big star shone over the top of the highest building •he said, “I’m like the Miller of Dee, T care for nobody, no, not I, and nobody cares for me.’ ” Just then there came a knock at the door. When she opened it no one was there, but on Jenks’ mat was a bunch of lilacs, such as one buys at the corner stands. As she filled all her bowls and Vases Miss Deakin sang a little song, and before she finished there came another .knock at the door. “What were yon singing?” asked the man from across the way. "You know—the ‘Spring Song,’*’ she told him icily. | “I have just painted a little picture of spring,” he said Ingratiatingly. "May J show It to you?” It was a water color—just a stretch of young fields, with a sweep of or>

chard beyond, but it made heZ"catch her breath. ' y “I can almost sniff the fragrance,” was her impetuous comment “It is beautiful.” “That is the way the world is looking outside the city,” he said, with enthusiasm, “There are violets and pussy willows, and the birds are callinglet me take you out there tomorrow. It will do you good. You are so pale”— She froze at that. “Certainly not” she refused and spoke with sternness to Jenks. “Jenks,” she said,. “I told you not to cross the hall. Jenks got up wearily from the opposite door mat. “I don't see why you won’t be friends,” the painter said as he stood, Irresolute, with his picture in his hand. “I have my work, and nothing must Interfere with my career.” “But we have lived opposite each other for six months.”' “It would be the same if we had lived opposite each other for six years,” was the way she closed the discussion. More stars were out when she again sat with Jenks by the window and the moon flooded the world with light, but over the roofs she caught the glow of a different illumination, a red, murky glow, tnat flared up presently Into flames and columns of rolling smoke. “It’s a fire, Jenks,” she told the dog. Jenks whined. “It’s down the street,” was her further information, and then in a sudden panic, “It’s in the next house, Jenksie.”

With the dog close behind her she ran to the door. The hall was full of smoke. Through it she saw the man across the way. “We can’t get down,” he said quickly. “The stairs are on fire, but there’s a fire escape from my window.” He caught her in his arms, and before she could protest they were descending the ladder. From the window above Jenks whined. “Oh, we can’t leave Jenks,” she cried. “Let me go. Let me go.” He held her firmly and called up to the dog, “Wait a minute, old boy, I’ll be back.” When she was safe and looked up through the smoke to where the patient little animal was waiting she said: “Oh, if you should be killed. It is better that Jenks should—go”— But he was already on the ladder. She covered her eyes with her hands, and then she knew nothing until a shout went up and some one sajd, “He's got the dog.” There was another long interval, and then she felt something warm and wet ’ on her cheeks, and there was Jenks licking her face, and she threw her arms about his neck and cried. And presently she held out her hand to the man who had saved him and said in a weak little voice: “He shall sit on your door mat all the time if you will let him.” “There isn’t any door mat,” he told her. “It’s burned up. But I'll buy another”— She smiled at that, and her eyes as they met his held in them all the promise of friendship and more than friendship that was to come.

Just Like a Girl.

He is a very young boy. His is the age when a lofty contempt for the opposite sex manifests itself, the contempt which usually finds merciless retribution in later years. His task of watching the baby was not as distressing as it might have been. He had utilized the bascinet as a cradle and had found a place where the floor sloped a little. Behind the vehicle he extended himself and with head on hand proceeded to read a story paper. An occasional jsull at a string fastened to the re 1 axle Imparted the motion necessary tl keep the slumberer from waking, but the baby soon had its nap out and began to cry. The boy paid no attention to the noise, and after awhile his sister came to investigate. “I suppose you are going to lie there and wait for the baby to learn to talk, so it can tell you what it's crying about.” “No,” he answered. “Being able to talk wouldn't make much difference.” “Why not?” “Because it’s a girl. Girls never know what they’re crying about. It just comes natural to them to do It.”— Pearson’s Weekly.

Indian Believes In Omens.

Mysticism plays a great part In the hunting of the Indian. He Is a great believer in signs and omens, and if he starts to hunt and sees a sign or omen that bodes evil he turns back to wait a more propitious time. The flight of certain birds, the floating of a feather, the crawling of snakes, are of Import, and unless he believes In the potency of his medicine to overcome the evil influence he will not go after game when the signs are not right. The Indian, being very susceptible to cold, does little hunting in the dead of winter. Being neither hardy nor warmly clothed, he prefers the warm campfire In the tepee to the distress of the hunting trail when the cold is biting. It is generally believed that the red man is one of the most hardy of the human race because he has spent his life in the open, but that sort of life is not conducive to hardiness unless It be accompanied with plenty of food and warm clothing.

THE APPLE PACK. Pointi In the Progressiva Methods of Hood River. To assist those apple growers who want to put a better pack of apples on the market the Oregon experiment station has issued some Information that Includes suggestions from the progressive methods of the famous Hood river apple growers. Most of the fruit of this region, it appears, is packed in what is known as the standard box, which measures in inches 10*4 by 11*4

FOUR TIER (112) STRAIGHT.

by IS, but to accommodate certain apples a special box is used which is longer and a trifle narrower, being 10 by 11 by 20. These are all inside measurements. Experience has shown that as regards thickness of material the three-quarter inch is the best for ends, three-eighths for sides and one-quarter for top a nd-bottom. In speaking of the styles of pack the trade in general understands the packs only when designated as straight or diagonal. Many people prefer to designate the packs as three, three and onehalf, four, four and one-half or five tier. • ' In the straight pack the rows run straight across the to the edges. This pack includes all the three, four and five tier apples. The straight pack is very neat in appearance, but it is* rather severe on the fruit, as each apple tends to be pressed firmly against surrounding apples rather than into the spaces. Some packers place the apple on its side, others pack with the stems up, while some have the calyx up. The best packs should always have the bottom and top layers with stems toward the outside. In this way the apples do not tend to bruise as badly. The four tier consists of four rows across the top and four deep, Includ Ing the 96 (six tiers long), the 128 (eight tiers long) and the 112 (seven tiers long).

THREE AND ONE-HALF TIER, DIAGONAL.

The diagonal pack, or diamond pack, as it is often called, is so termed because the rows run diagonally with the edge of the box. Its chief advantage is that it accommodates sizes that do not adapt themselves readily to the •tralght pack, although in some caaoe

We find tnat the diagonal contains the same number of apples as regain straight packs. The diagonal pack contains the half tiers, such as three and one-half and four and one-half. One of the advantages of the diagonal pack is that it allows the apples to adjust themselves more readily to the space in the box, for* when the pressure is brought to bear the apples tend to find spaces, whereas In the straight packs each apple is brought up firmly against its neighbor. In the three and one-half tier we find that more than three full rows and yet not four full rows are needed to fill the box. One can readily see that a good many apples would coffie in this class, and more different packs are being used with the three and a half than with any other.

Gray Wolves. Gray wolves are doing much damage In the upper Ruby valley. Montana, attacking not only the cattle, but yOung horses, according to the Country Gentleman. One man has lost twenty cattle. Wolves are also numerous in the Madison valley.

Southern Pastures. While very little attention has been given to the development of the southern pastures, it is demonstrated on farms throughout the south that an unexcelled pasture can be maintained for at least eight months in the year.— B. 11. Rawl.

the SPORTING WORLD

How to Get Into an Upset Canoe. Many a boatman’s life has been saved because he has been able to get back safely into a boat or canoe after an upset. The recovery of an overset canoe is a delicate process, but on? that can easily be learned. In the group of pictures illustrating this column the various steps in the

RECOVERING A CANOE AFTER AN UPSET.

recovery of the canoe are shown, perhaps much plainer than could be done by words. The first diagram shows how to grasp the canoe for the jump. No. 2 illustrates the little leap by which the canoeist puts his weight evenly on the boat. In No. 3he is rolling gently into the bottom of the craft. No. 4 shows the canoeist in full possession and ready to bail it out.

Victorious Girl Jockey. Miss Dorothy Tyler, fourteen years old, daughter of Dr. R. B. Tyler, exmayor of Joplin, Mo., made her debut as a jockey at the Joplin race track recently and won her first event, a quarter mile race, on her own horse, Blackmare, crossing the wire ahead of Dolly-. Varden,. ridden by WHLJfewn,

and Annie, with a professional jockey named McDowell up. Miss Tyler’s victory was greeted by wild cheers from the crowd, which had “backed her off the board” before the horses wenj to the post. Since she was a small child Miss Tyler has been fond of outdoor sports. Her father has let her have her way In most things. She owns two race horses and personally sees that they are well groomed. In addition to her ability to ride she is an all around athlete. It is said that no boy in Joplin of her age is her equal in physical strength.

Democratic Dovey. President Doyey is a most democratic magnate and 1 has become immensely popular with the members of the Bosbn National team through his great liberiTtlty, a fact that is being remarke.l freely ail around the league circuit. He is iiail fellow well met with the : >n players, win or lose, congratulating them when they win, sympathizing with them when they lose. There are no recriminations, no knocks. He has gathered together a good team, and there are many predictions among the other clubs that the time will come when the Boston Nationals will take their old place as favorites with the Hub fans, because the team under Dovey will eventually win a pennant.

Ball Players’ Wives. Charley Carr, manager of the Indianapolis cluU has undertaken a contract which is more difficult than winning the pennant with the Indianapolis club, according to Louisville reports. He has undertaken to separate players’ wives at ball games. He says the women talk about players during the game, and then a wife goes home and tells her husband, engendering animosities. Charley would better back off. One of the inherent prerogatives of a woman is to talk, and she w’ill kfep on talking, whatever Manager Carr says about it.

Washington’s New Pitcher. Walter Johnson, the famous boy pitcher of the Weiser baseball team of the Idaho State league, has signed with the American league club of Washington. Johnson’s record as a pitcher is a splendid one. He has pitched seven-ty-five innings without a run being scored against him and has struck out 166 men in ninety-nine innings. The Weiser team has played seven straight shut-out games and has made ninetyeight runs, while their opponents hav* made but five.

How About It, Silk? The Detroit News says that despite Umpire Frank o’Loughlln’s ability and popularity with the public he 1® disliked by nearly all of the players.

Willing Wilson. Bob Wilson of Brooklyn, N. Y., well known as an expert swimmer, is open to meet any in a contest from two to five miles for a purse or a trophy.
