THE BABY Who eoir.es into the world no weak And helplesa h, who can not speak? Who know no method, plan, or v,ay To let us know his wants, or say Just how he feels; but with bawl Ots what he wants from one and al! And kicks his way through to result f!y making slaves of all adult;? i he baby i Who causes all his kin to fusa About a name for this small cuss. When Ma, umt Pa, and proud Grandma, And Cnile Jim begin to jaw, Suggesting names from William Tell To Theodore nnd Manuel; And nil end up, us people will, By culim him that good aam Hi!!? The Baby! Who bring the doctor on the run Before IV,c'.s morning meal's begun? Who wakes the household from its sleep Ahii causes everyone to keep As quiet as a sepulchre Ho that this person will not stir Himself into a round of roar That lasts from iw" to evermore? The Baby! Who crawls about upon the Rwr And sets himself out to explore The very places he should not. Vet never quits until he's got The treasurers we have laid away? Who brines them out upon display And tears them up from end to end And laughs, that we may comprehend? The Baby! Who twines his arms about our neck And pulls our hair out by the peck, And laughs quite loud in hearty trie At our pretended misery? Who pulls our nose and pokes our eye;: And giggles out in glad surprise When we get on our hand.- and knees, Impersonating chimpanzees ? The Baby! Who reaches up hia dimpled fist For us to pat for him and kiss. So that the pain in that wee hand Will vanish to another land? Who keeps this old world ever sweet For nil of us, and makes concrete The fact thut Cod knew what to do When he sent us our captain true? The Baby!

Ing that fifty-sixth iu.Ullm.-ut I kept right after Adaline until she capitu

should start out in married life with a

home of our own.

That, as Colonel Rigamarole, the

eminent lawyer, would say, is the gist of the whole affair we must have a home of our own! Oh, how easy to say these things when life is new and love is hitting on all four cylinders. After attaching knobs to the doors ef The Coal Dealer's Delight ever sine Bryan refused to wear that crown with stickers in it, I. Bill Katoot, had set aside from the reward for my labors the magnificent sum of five hundred iron men. With that amount to invest, I began looking for a vacant lot on which to build our residence. The oniy thing ir, the say of building lots I could handle with that bunch of capital was one out on forty-second street that had evidently been overlooked in the mad scramble for building sites. It was as clean a proposition as I could wish, however, being swept by the wilila wnds of winter from the four points of the compass. It perked up every summer, I ascertained, and covered its narrow form with i heavy dress of horse weeds. Rather dispiritedly I reported to Adaline the lesult of my investigations Adaline is a little joy-maker, and within ten minuter after I made the preliminary report, Adaline hail rolled the clouds away, she brought the sun out and let it smile on me. .she commanded the birds in the tree lup-t to iMr fuf iiie and thy bled, she argued me out nf my disappointment, made everytning beautiful, and hung the goose to the topmost rafter In one mighty sweep of the imagine-

real. I marshaled my forces: I shoved Caution to the rear, put a gag on the mouth of Common Sense, beckoned RashneSB and Impulsiveness to my side, threw Reason into the gua'djinuse and marched forth and bought the lot. . For my five hundred I received a deed from one Peter Snitz, Feter also handed me a roll of awe-inspiring appearance, which he said was the lifestory of the lot and cost nothing extra. I looked it over hurriedly, but the story changed characters so often that I couldn't keep run of them.

Adaline and I decided that I should go to The Home Builder's Company, where Adeline's cousin worked as

bookkeeper, and get enough money

to build our house. This day began

on Friday, we reckoned that on Mon

day mornmg a squad of bricklayers would be squirting tobacco juice on the horse weeds and running the

foundation for our residence.

I went. The secretary was inclined to think that I should not make arrangements for the base work to be begun Oii Monday, and suggested that 1 wait until I had heard from the com

pany's attorney. He took my deed; he took my abstract of title; he took

my Bfi Citation for a loan for a few hundred dollar with which to build

our bungalow; and he finally took my breath by announcing that I should call at the end of thirty days, when

the company attorney's report on the

title to the lot would be ready. The next thirty days I spent, aside from my labor, in listening to Adine spvak on architecture. This

caused the time to pass by rathe' quickly, as Adaiire and ! disagreed on a few little matters like the siie of the windows, where we woajid put the

tothes closets, how many steps should

be in the basement stairway, and of that sort, that maile debating very

interesting. However, the final day am ad, and I presented myself at the office of the Home Builder's Company to get the money. I did not get it. Instead I was handed my abstract of title and a list of objections to my lot', ped'gir. fey the company's attorney, Whether this attorney had a dislike for lots and handed them his disdiin in large bunches when opportunity o"ered, or whether he had plenty of spare time that thirty days and spent it seeing how many words ha could make out of a certain group of letters, I do not

Elkhart Man Tells How Tanlac Banished Troubles of Eixht Years' Duration

Elkhart, Ind., January 31. "I've gained four pounds and feel better in every single lepet-t siuie taking ofe bottle of Tanlac," T. A. Wedge, well known machinist of 168 State street, this city, said on December 15. "For more than eight years I suffered severely from stomach trouble," .Mr. Wedge continued. "My appetite was poor. Many foods that 1 really I'ked I couldn't ent because of tb had alter effects. My food was never digested properly. 1 suffered from a dull headache nearly all the time. There was a had taste in my mouth constantly. I didn't rest well at night. "Friends recommended Tanlac to me so highly that I decided to try it. It certainly has benefited me. Since taking Tanlac the tin) headaches that bothered me almost constantly have vanished completely. My appetite is good now and I can eat anything I care for without fear of bad after effects. "Yes, sir. Tanlac has helped me greatly and I gladly recommend it. Anyone who suffers as 1 did will find Tanlac just what they need." Tanlnc. the Master Medicine, is especially beneficial 'or stomach, liver and kidney trouble, catarrhal complaints, rheumatism, nervousness, loss of appetite and the like. Tanlac is now being introduced in I.ebapop at The Star drug store. Adv.

to have its title quieted before it would amount to much in the world. Adaline and 1 spent much time over this attorney's iiterary effort, and at last we agreed that either the thing was too deep for us or that the plot of the story was a weak sister. We agreed on another thing, I was to visit Colonel 'tig.imarole, another attorney, who roomed daytimes up in the

Toohi Ruilding, and. if possible, hav he Colonel fix up our lot's constitu

tion so that it would be strong enough to carry ihe loan we hud to have in older to have :tr htingulow burgled.

With little delay, I made my '

up to Colonel's office and introduced

myself. "Colonel," I stated I have purchase -i ;v mt '" 'he Opt'mist addition, bo i. a " rays th

li'le will have to be fixed up before they can loan me the money necessary

in the matter nf building."

"Ah ;. nu !irvii the abstract?" he

questioned

I handed it over and the Colonel

immediately threw his feet up on his desk, leaned hak in his chair, and became oblivious. I walked over to the window and became engrossed in watching- the efforts of a fellow citizen who was trying to start one of the little automobiles that do not have self-starters. Finally the bsiky thing gave a few whoooing coughs, and then settled down to have a regular hemorrhage.

The fellow who had been cranking steadied himself by holding to a fender, wearily made his way to the front seat, put hi foot down on something that evidently aroused the little car's indignation, and drove rapidly away. I watched him until he was beyond my range of vision, and then I turned to the l oionet. "Colonel," I ventured. "Colonel, what ' The Colonel raised one hand, the palm outward. I ceased speaking at once. Against that symbol of silence I was tongue-tied. Majestically the beefy hand of the Colonel set its Htamp of disapproval on speech just at that time. 1 gathered from the signal that I should remain silent until the Colonel was ready for articulation--so, silent 1 remained. I found me a chair, and sat glued to it for many, many minutes. My left leg. unaccustomed to lolling a.ound on a stiff-bottom office chair in the middle of an afternoon, went to sleep, Tim o-etii'ied my entire attention for a few minut". When I was able to stand :i!on, I took a few staggi-ring steps to the Colonel's book-shelves anil inspected his library. The Colonel had certainly leen kind to his b)ks. He hadn't worried them to death with handling. They stood in neat rows, somewhat du.ty, Tti-i-e must have been thousand of them, all perpenlicular, all undisturbed from their sweet sleep nf years, and each bearing a black leather strip at at bottom, on which was printed in gold letters, ''Colonel Rigamarole," My wandering gale had jusi ft ua-rf itself on 3 volume entitled "fsingleman on Domestic Relations, or Adventures in Double Hrne," when I heard the Colonel's feet fall from the desk to the floor in two lazy thuds.

ever bad the pleasure of looking over in all my twenty-five years as a practising attorney at the Berkshire county bar. I might say, sir that it seems 'hnt some of the deeds made by formr owne"1 of this particular piece of eal estate, to-wlt, yor lot No. 13 in Optimist's addition to the city of Ataxia, 'county nf Bershire, state of Indiana, ad infinitum, it seems to nic that these deeds have been drawn up by faltering unskilled hands, sir, and consequently there has arisen, I might say, a befogging atmosphere of uncertainty that makes, at times, almost indefinable, the lines of descent. It is not that pure, clean line of acquisition members of n-y proiession recognize with joy as th' title beautiful. There are deviations from correct conveyancing in the life-history of your real estate that make it a difficult matter to determine whether your title to it is safe or whether you can be thrust in favor of someone else n a momenta notice. All this " "Colonel," I interrupted, "your words sound svry lilting as they emerge from the wide space between your mustache upstairs and your mustache on the ground floor, but when vou talk to mn. for heaven's sake, say somethingl" "If I must talk to a child I can do so, sir!" the Colonel bellowed. "Make it just as childish as you rare to. C olonel," I answered "but tell me what causes my title to have the t Vitus dance." "Katoot, I see that my language must be plain and simple, o I shall proceed to nime for you the parties you will have to uring suit against in order to enjoy undisturbed your title to the real esfnte in cjuestion.

"If she was Whipplesnitch's wife in 18IKI, she's lost her interest in my lot or anything else hy this time," I said. The Colonel snorted twice. "Listen until I have finished, Katoot, and you will then see the desperate condition of your tile. We must sue Aaron Whipplesniteh, and Blank Whipplesniteh, his wife; if Aaion is dead, we'll make Blank Whipplesniteh his wdow, a party; if his widow has n-rmirrie.l. we must have hr husband. We must sue Aaron's children and Aaron's children's children, and Aaron's widow's children, and Aaron's widow's and her husband's children, and the heirs, and the devices, and the legatees, and the trustees, and the administrator.!, and the cxecutor8, and lien-holders, and mortgagees, and creditors and claimants, black and white, high or low, going or coming, (me and all." "And the butcher, the baker, and candle-stick maker." I suggested. "No!" he thundered, "listen, and I will continue.

The legif-l'itiire' attention wns railed to this, and they said it was O. K., that the court house was an old one and ought to huve burned down. But what -e must get the judge t.s do is to decree void any claims the, fneman who fought th tire might have on account of their nttempta to save the records of this real etnt of yours." "Also," continued the Colonel, "in former years this lot wns leased to the Nuttinghiim Tennis Club, and they must be quieted from claiming anything on account of their services, if any. And, again, Willivn and May Jones bought this iot during the Sim-lah-American wor. After the war they mortgaged It and May signed up on the miirtgngn as !.iaye.

"Well' Katoot, allowing for any little unforseen emergencies in the matter of costs, 1 would say the entire expense of the proceeding, including my fee, wili not run over $1H0." 'i will say the same thing, Colonel," I blurted out. "In fact. I can say positively right now that the cost will not exceed that. This restless title can rave on until it became quiet from exhaustion." I garered in my abstract from the Colonel's desk, and after paying for the afternoon's entertainment. I w-ended my forlorn way down to the Rugle ofhee. I did not call Adaline by telephone for any instructions.
