Fifty-Fifty Between - Thief and Financier A. E. Fiikin, New York financier, fnld a story at a dinner in ecelebration of his purchase for $240,000 of a seat on the srock exchiange, : “The improvement in financial morals is almost unhelicvable,” Mr, Fitkin said. -*TI teil you a story that Tom Lawson nsed.to tell about the duys of frenzicd finance,. . : - "Once upon a 4 time a bank rvobber was interrupted jn the, midst of his delicate work by the sound of approaching footsteps, - “The baok robber put down his acetyiene drill softly. He pressed his glaved hand—gloved to ohviate fingerprints—io nis ihumping heart. Then the doer opened. and a beautiful old geivler o n with white side whiskers, veariney a lous black frock coat, appeared.

““Who are you, sir? siald the old gentleman sternly. N j “‘l'm Buster Bill, the safe cracker, was the fieree reply, fand if yvou want to be bored full of -holes like a swiss cheese--' :

Summer’s Extension.

Indian summer is a name applied to a short seasop of,pleasant weather which occurs in the Central and Atlantic coust states usually during the months of October and November, hut more rarely in December. Indian summer iz characterized by an almost cloudless sky, calm or-light air, hazy atmosphere, and a mild temperatyre in the daytime although cool at night. This period may last two or three weeks and may occur two or three times during a season. The theory has been advanced that early settlers may have civen the bright warm days of autwn the name of Indian summer because it was| as gaudy as the Indians in Lheir!war paints. Another iden is that at this season the Indians often owent to war because the bright autumn colors‘}served a 8 camouflage for them. There i 3 no actual record «0f the use of the term until 1774, when it was in general use throughout the Atlantic states, :

Obscure Poets.

*A friend sends me a cutting from’ & recent issue of an English newspaper that has an oddity all its own. In a column of literary gossip occurs the following: “An obscure American poet once said, ‘Lives -of great men all remind us we may make our lives sublime’ (or words to that effect). 1 ‘would rather say: ‘Lives of great men all remind us we can'make our lives sublime only if we organize and discipline our mental and physical outfit,” 1t does not quite scan, but it is better sense.” Which reminds me that an obscure English poet once wrote: *To be or not to be, that is the question” {or words to that effect). I would (not) rather say: “To be or not to he, that is the question only when you are not thinking of something else.” It does not quite scan, but it makes no better sense. —William L,vcm§ Phelps in Scribner's.

-Prescription He Wrote ~ in 1892 is the World’s Most Popular Laxative

When Dr. Caldwell started to practiee medicine, back in 1875, the needs for & laxative were not as great as they are today. People lived normal, quiet lives, ate plain, wholesome food, and got plenty of fresh air and sunshine. But even that early there were drastic physics and purges for the relief of constipation which Dr. Caldwell did not believe: were good for human beJags to put into %heir system. So he wrote a presaription for a laxative tobe used by his patients. : The preseription for constination that he used early in his practice, and which he put in drug stores in 1392 t..r the 1. of Dr. Caldwell’s Syrup Peretnl Teoa logid vegetable remedy, . uicnded for women, children and elderly people, and they need just such a mild, safe, gentle gowel stimulant &8 Syrup Pepsin. e .- Under successful management this preseription has proven its worth and is now the iargest selling liquid laxative in the world. The fact thu' mill Hons of botiles are used a year proves ‘ that it has won the confidence of peo ’{)le who needed it to get relief from ieadaches, biliouanes«, flatulence,” indiJestion, loss of appetite and sleep, bad breath, dyspepsia, colds and fevers. Millions of families are mow wvever without Dr. Caldwell’s Syrup Vepsin, and if you will once star{ usitg it vou will also always have a bottle haundy for emergencies. 9 { A : ;
