HER LAST LEAPS. I saw her once before In the short skirtB she wore. And again She went dancing round and round. With a wince at every bound, As in pain. They say that in her prime, Ere the cruel hand of Time Hurt her so, She possessed a pretty face And could hop from place to place On one toe. But now her look is sad, And she moves as if she had Aching feet; Every bald-head's look is grim As she glances down at him In his seat. My old granddad oft has said Poor old grandpa, he is dead, Long ago That she once was all the rage As she skipped upon the stage. To and fro. But she's flat and flabby now And as graceful as a cow On the trot; I know it is a sin For me to sit and grin, So I'll not. In the chorus let her stay; It may be her only way To survive; You may cease to be a peach Too, young lady, when you reach Sixty-five.
occupied by Mr. and Mrs. Howard Campbell, Mrs. Frances Campbell-Cor-win, Mrs. George Cates and Mrs. L. M. Jones.

Removes the sour bile, gases and clogged-up waste without gripe or nausea. No headache, indigestion, constipation, biliousness or coated -tongue.
The shriek of a locomotive is a warning of immediate danger so great that it must be heeded, but many people face other dangers as great without knowing it. H. Lloyd of Mt. Vernon, N. Y.. writes us about a recent experience as follows: "A generally debilitated condition of the system, which had lasted for two months and was growing worse, impressed on me the necessity of using a good strengthening tonic. Vinol was my choice because I had heard so much of it, and I am pleased to say it has fulfilled every recommendation. I have regained my usual strength, and other members of the family have also found Vinol very beneficial." If you are fagged out and weak, have poor appetite, sleep badly or are in low spirits, then you should heed the warning and begin promptly to build up your strength with Vinol. It renews and enriches the blood, and brings back your old-time vigor and vitality. You can use Vinol at our risk, for we guarantee it to help you. Leo H. Fihe, druggist, Richmond, Ind.
points for Mothers
Foul breath, coated tongue, dull, throbbing headache, stomach sour and full of gases, indigestion, biliousness and a sallow complexion, mean that your thirty feet of bowels are clogged with waste matter; that these drainage organs of the body are obstructed; liver stagnant and stomach full of poisonous gases, sour bile and undigested fermenting food not properly carried off. Most of our ills are caused by constipated bowels. We all need a laxative sometimes; nobody can doubt that. The only question Is, Which one is the best? and that isn't a question any more. Syrup of Figs, being composed entirely of luscious figs, senna and aromatics, must act in a harmless, gentle and natural way. Syrup of Figs can be constantly used without injury.
Its action is the action of fruit of eating coarse food of taking exercise. It is a true and effective liver and bowel cleanser and regulator. Most folks dread physic they shrink from the taste and after effects. Syrup of Figs is delicious, and, besides, you don't realize you have taken anything until morning, when all the clogged up waste of the system is gently but thoroughly moved on and out of the bowels without griping or weakness. Ask your druggist for the full name, "Syrup of Figs and Elixir of Senua." This is the old reliable and only genuine. Refuse, with contempt, any other Fig Syrup recommended as good. They are imitations meant to deceive you. Read the label carefully and look for the name California Fig Syrup Company.
HOW TO MAKE HAIR GROW Keep the scalp clean, healthy and free from dandruff with Mrs. Mason's Old English Shampoo Cream product of a noted English hair specialist, nothing like it to invigorate and make the hair grow. 25c a tube. Leo H. Fihe and other druggists.
last evening in the Odd Fellows' hall when Mrs. Charles Kolp gave her last dance of the season. The affair was also in the nature of a "farewell" party as Mrs. Kolp and daughter, Miss Elizabeth, will soon leave the city and will not return until late fall. The music was excellent, the Lucas Saxophone Trio of Columbus, Ohio, furnishing the dance music. The trio has played in this city before and its ability was well known to the young people of the city. Mrs. Kolp has had the orchestra here on several other occasions. The usual 'stunts" which the trio gives, were put on again last evening. There were many out-of-town guests in attendance. The party was the most successful dance ever given in this city.

A Perpetual Sacred Fire. In the peninsula of Abeheron, formerly belonging to Persia, but now a part of Russia, there Is a perpetual or, rather, what the natives call an eternal sacred Ore. which is known to have been burning continually for more than 2,000 years. It rises from an irregular orifice of about twelve feet in depth and 120 feet square. The flames, which are constant, rise to a height of from six to eight feet, unaccompanied by smoke or disagreeable smell, waving back and forth with the wind like a field of golden grain.
Teach Household Duties. It behooves mothers to teach their daughters the commonest requisites of
a good housekeeper. The culinary art is perhaps the most essential. After that comes sewing, then sweeping and dusting and, last, bedmaklng. To most children it is Joy without end to mess around in the kitchen, making candles and sweets of all kinds. It Is therefore a simple task to turn their Inclinations toward greater accomplishments along the same lines. The little girl who loved mud pies at three or four would delight In making the real thing at nine or ten If some one would only teach her. Cooking has a fascination for most of the feminine sex from the age of three, when their baking is done by the sun and their materials supplied by the mud of the streets, to the time when they lay down their last utensiL Why not turn this undeniable fascination to practical account? To children it will come as a most charming game, but in the meantime the game is teaching them things that may prove well for them to know. In playing this game, however, a mother must take care not to tire the child of its delight, for if it once palls on her the little girl will not care to play again. The first time she may make the dough for the bread or cake or pie by herself, then let the cook or the mother finish the task. The next time she will want to see it to a finish herself. Most children take naturally to the other forms of housework too. A small broom and a diminutive brush
and dustpan will give many little girls great amusement. The ,way to clean a room thoroughly can be taught gradually while the child is playing with these most practical toys. Bedmaking, too, comes easy to the small mother of a large family. The real mother should show the child how the little bed should be aired, when the doll first arises. Then after an hour's airing (cut down to five minutes for child's play) she should show the little girl the exact way in which the sheets should be smoothed, the covers adjusted and the counterpane spread over all. These Instructions begun In play will come as an invaluable aid in after life.
The sense of the words come arter much repetition, It la the rhythm of the "Mother Goose" jingles that endears them to the juvenile heart. Substitute, then, for "Jack and Jill and "Old Mother Hubbard" something with the same fascinating rhythm and with a little story besides. The little listener will enjoy it with attention quite as rapt as that be bestows on the above mentioned nursery tales. Take, for instance, such poems as Longfellow's "The Wreck of the Hesperus" and "The Village Blacksmith." There never was a child who has not loved these beautiful poems. Substitute such poems as these for "Little Jack Horner" and "Jack Spratt, and the latter will never be missed. It la really rery easy to Instill in a child's mind the lore of beautiful lyrics, and every mother should make the attempt at least. Surely none of the "Mother Goose" rimes have the swing and the simplicity of "The Village Blacksmith." and if a child will take naturally to classics such as these they are far preferable to the nursery rimes of our childhood.
recite children learn positions ana gestures rery quickly. Select those children who are quick to learn and have active Imaginations. Read the story you wish to present over and over to them In Its entirety, then cast the parts according to the ability of the children and direct them how and when to stand, sit or walk and what gestures to make to Illustrate the various acts. The story can be read by an older person while it is being illustrated by certain scenes, or you can select a poem suitable for children to illustrate while It is being recited by a cleTer elocutionist.

Burnt Almonds. Burnt almonds are a confection of purely French origin, owlnc their Inception to the gluttony of a French merchant. One day. tradition has It. Marshal Duplessts-Fratin sent for Lassagve. the Inventor of many toothsome dainties, and bade him concoct a new bonbon. Lassagne searched, reflected, combined, until he finally hit upon the confection of burnt almonds, which were baptized with the name of the old gourmet, the French for burnt almonds. New York Herald.

Popular Amusement. A delightful way to amuse children, and incidentally their parents, is by illustrating a fairy story, the title of which is guessed by those watching the performance. Select a simple, well known story and divide it Into short parts or acts. Then let the children act the various parts In dumb show, using gestures without speech, which are not hard to teach rery small children. The idea is a good one for bazaars or school entertainments where a public performance can be the climax of several rehearsals. If possible dress the little actors in costume and let the performance be given to the accompaniment of suggestive music that will help them to make the right gestures at the proper time.

A Substitute For "Mother Goose." How dear to the heart are the rimes of our childhood! And yet how many, mothers ever thought that the rimes of great poets might be substituted for those of "Mother Goose" to just as good effect, as far as amusement goes, and to far better advantage with regard to the training of the mind? After all, it is ouly the rhythm that attracts the infant attention at first.
