Would Not Take SI,OOO for It, Says H. H. Jones

"I wouldn’t take a thousand dollars for the good Tanlac has done me, for I’ve gained twenty pounds and never felt better in my life,” said Harley H. Jones, 1141 7th St., LaSalle. 111. “I suffered from indigestion until I was on the verge of a complete breakJown. Nothing agreed with me, and I Buffered for hours after every meal. I lost weight and strength until I could hardly drag myself to work. My nerves were so upset I couldn’t get a good night’s sleep, and mornings I was •o tired I was just about ready to give up.

The mighty windlass chains clanked their kmd greeting as the ierry slipped into its exact groove, then Mike Clegau—better known as riie Fat Slob —straightened up, and out, and, wiping his wet and tlabby cheeks on a grimy sleeve, thrust his bulk of authority in tlie path of the outrushing passengers. "Hey, there, you!” he yelled, as a radiantly-alive and bare-headed girl slipped around him to the rim of the deck. “Whatcha- tryin’ t’ do—c’mit suicide?” Two Hashing black eyes and the end of a shapely upturned nose faced him impudently. “Not a chance,” came the quick retort, in a mellow contralto. “With a lot o’ good laughs like you still around,” she taunted him. “I've told ye before t’ keep Inside th’ rail, an’ I mane it.” The big fellow loomed in her way with a tierce scowl as, with the rail lifted, a few Important-looking officers and some ten or twelve other persons stepped ashore on Ellis Island, with scarcely a glance at the by-play. “What’s yer graft, anyways, kid?” he demanded Insolently, as she turned on him the full fire of her hot, angry eyes. Ignoring her resisting hand, he thrust aside the cover of the basket on her arm, and then whistled. “Oh, peddlin’ fruit agen, heh? Business good, kid?” She stamped her foot in a rage. “Lemme alone,” site demanded, eyee like live coals. "I'm not sellln’ ’em.” "B’gosh an’ It’s sortaln ye mus' be carry in’ yer lunch. Yer not givin’ ’em away to the immygrints.” "I am so,” she Insisted. "I always give ’em away. Honest I” Mike stared at her Incredulously. Her father, an Italian fruit vender, was considered wealthy among the docks—the same docks where, ten years before, he stepped ashore, with the same pretty Rosie, then a gawky child of twelve, herded with one laden arm, a large wooden box under another, a very few hundred dollars in his pocket, and but two English words on his tongue—“ ’Merica” and “dollar.” Ten years had made little change, except financially, in old Bucceri. hut had, through tedious but sure schooling, startlingly Americanized Rosie. “Watcha givin’ me?” he snorted. “Nothin’,” she snapped back, “but this whole basketful- goes t’ th' poor 3sh over there," pointing to the detention house. She knew Mike Gegan nnd was surprised at the change in his usual boisterous good humor. “What’s th’ matter, Mike?” “Tell me,” he ignored her question, still eyeing her amaxedly, “what's th’ idea? An’ what’re ye doin’ It fer?" “Love and pity,” came her brief nt ply, and then her eyes lighted up like a votary. "Love for America —my America —and pity for them as can’t get in." She cupped her chin in her hands and, leaning on the rail, stared Into vacancy. "I’ve been where they are, Mike. 1 remember it. I know how they feel. So alone —so strange—but oh. so hopeful. Oh. what America means to them ! Hope—life—a new chance. Oh. how I love it! How great It feels just to know I’m here—part of that," and hazedly, she swept her hands toward the crowded New York skyline. “I'm here—happy—free— American —oh!” And the reverent look of a worshiper intensified as she gazed at the tiag streaming proudly fifty feet away. Quickly, her eyes softened. “Mike, tell me—what’s wrong with you tonight?” “Nothin’ ye can help," gruffly. “Please —tell me.” “I jes' told ye,” he growled, then he blurted out: “See that mob over there? Me cousin’s in that bunch, an’ he’ll be goin’ back t' County Belfast, so he will.” Rosie was now eyeing him fixedly. “Got a fool notion he cud play th’ violin. ’At’s all he has got—a squeaky fiddle, a fool notion he kin make a hit here, an’ about ten cents in republican money. So they won’t let him come in. Shame, too! A foine lad, Tim Shane. Gave up a good job in th’ city t’ help his ould mother ’find t’ th' pigs, nursed her through eight years’ sickness, an’ raised three little sisters till some aunt tuk ’em away, an’ all his money in th’ clothes on their backs. An’ they let in some o’ these Bullshevlks—" “If he’s so fine,” demanded Rosie, “why don’t you help 'im t’ get in?” “I wud, but with what. I’m askin’ ye?" snorted Mike. “A ferryhand’s wages?” He darted a look, almost of contempt, at the oranges in her basket. “Little good them oranges will do the likes o’ Tim. An’ say, I’ll her yer ould man wouldn't be lettin' ye bring them over here if he knew it."

“In America,” came Rosie’s proud retort over her shoulder, as she dart-

BRIDE FACES HER FIRST TRAGEDY

Had Just Returned From Her Honeymoon When Misfortune Befell Her. They had just returned from their honeymoon; a trip of bliss, joy and happiness, all three. He kissed her good-by as he started for the office, , and murmured many endearing things into her ear, all of which she kept there. The day was slowly fading, and a feeling of terror stole over her. A grim waiting of she-knew-not-what numbed her senses and stirred her imagination already boiling over. Why did not her mother warn her? O, why did they not forbid her marriage? it was too horrible to contemplate —that they wilfully sacrificed her to their ambitions. Impossible! Yet, yet—? “O, if she dared only open that door, just t<» satisfy her wild imaginations. <>, if something would only happen to relieve the tense strain she

ed toward the detention house, “a girl has some say.” Mike Gegan had three causes of wonder that day and the next two. The first was Rosie’s remark on her return trip from the island as she drifted abstractedly past him with an empty basket. "Fine fella, Tim,” she confided, dreamy-eyed, “and, oh, how he can play." Tlie next day Mike wondered again as Rosie, strangely silent, tarried to the island another full basket of oranges—and some cigarettes In her hand. And she repeated this on the third day. And for the third time Mike wondered, as a few hours later that day, Tony Bucceri. accompanied by an official, stepped off the ferry to the island. Mike overheard his excited tones. “What I care for da mon? Rosie say ‘sure.’ She knows. Dass enough.” Two hours later Mike stared in amazement as Rosie Bucceri, a violin case on one arm and with the other and two Hashing eyes glued tightly on one Timothy Shane, who returned her impassioned gaze with compound interest, stepped aboard the ferry, followed meekly by Tony, bearing a for-eign-looking bag. “What’s it mean?” demanded the amazed Mike, as he ebrffronted the strange group. “It means—he’s an American now — or will be,” volunteered Rosie, happily. “I know he’ll love It. I hope he’ll love us, too." And the rose tint of her cheeks brightened to a crimson red. “It mean," grunted Tony, contentedly, “it mean maybe she'll stay home more now. I’ll save lots o’ da fruit." And Tim, too moved for words, answered with a face divided between the marvels of the strange new skyline and Rosie. HOW TO KNOW STAGE PLAYS Infallible Signe That Show the Amateur to What Class They Belong. If all the characters are dressed In queer looking costumes of an unknown period and speak their lines like a young politician making his first address, it’s a classical play, remarks Life. If it's filled with quotations you’ve heard before, It’s probably Shakespeare. If after four acts and thirty-one scenes you haven't the slightest idea what it's all about, It's undoubtedly the masterpiece of a Russian playwright. If the first scene Is liberally sprinkled with amours and disparaging discussions of absent husbands, it's French farce. If the dialogue is made up chiefly of profanity and vile epithets, it's the work of a "realistic" writer. If the chief male character wears cowhide boots with his dinner clothes. It’s a drama of American finance. If the comedians wink confidentially 'at the audience, they're about to spring a prohibition joke. If the trap-drummer whangs a gong two or three times as the curtain rises, it's positive proof you're going ’o witness u Chinese play. Ami if you find yourself enjoying the show. It’s sure to be a cheap bit of clap-trap calculated only to enrich the producer. Checking Up. A colored man went into a drug store the other day and asked permission to us« the telephone. After getting his number, his end of the conversation ran like this: “Hello, is dis you Mrs. Smith?” he began. "I seed youah ad for a good man in de Sunday papah two weeks ago. Is yoh all got a good man ylt? Is you perfectly satisfied wid dat man you is got?” “I see! Is you contemplatin’ a change soon? You is not? All right; thank you, ma'am.” Desiring to be friendly, the drug store clerk said: “Too bad some one already has the job.” “Dat’s all. right,” replied the colored man. “You see, I’s de man what got de job two weeks ago an' I wa» jes' checking up on myself.”—Harper’s Magaeine. Has Stradivarius Secret? The secret of Stradivarius has been discovered by a Frenchman, after years of research in ancient Italian archives. This cry of “Eureka !” has been heard intermittently during the last two centuries; but French violin manufacturers now declare they are using a varnish which will preserve the vibrant qualities of the wood for centuries, and that the instruments turned out by the little shops not far from the Bastille will be just as famous 500 years hence as is any “Strad” today. The whole charm of the Cremona violins —without giving other details as to proportions or method of application —it seems, consisted in the use of a certain mixture of resinous amber and olive oil. Modern violins have been treated only with ordinary resin and alcohol varnishes.

It You Need a Medicine You Should Have the Best Have you ever stopped to reason why it is that so many products that are extensively advertised, all at once drop out of sight and are soon forgotten? The reason is plain—the article did not fulfill the promises of the manufacturer. This applies more particularly to a medicine. A medicinal preparation that has real curative value almost sells itself, as like an endless chain system the remedy is recommended by those who have been benefited to those who are in need of it. A prominent druggist says, “Take for example Dr. Kilmer’s Swamp-Root, a preparation I have sold for many years and never hesitate to recommend, for in almost every case it shows excellent results, as many of my customers testify. No other kidney remedy has so large a sale.” According to sworn statements and verified testimony of thousands who have used the preparation, the success of Dr. Kilmer’s Swamp-Rooti is due to the fact, so many people claim, that it fulfills almost every wish in overcoming kidney, liver and bladder ailments, corrects urinary troubles and neutralizes the uric acid which causes rheumatism. You may receive a sample bottle of Swamp-Root by parcel post. Address Dr. Kilmer & Co., Binghamton, N. Y., and enclose ten cents; also mention this paper.

Through a I Sieve Woven Finer Than Silk Raw materials of which portland cement is made come out of the ground usually as solid rock. They must first be crushed, ground and reground until at least 85 per cent of the resulting powder will shake through a sieve that will actually hold water. This sieve is considerably finer than the finest silk fabric. It has 200 hair-like bronze wires to the inch. That means 40,000 holes to the square inch. But the several crushings and grindings necessary to reduce solid rock to this extreme fineness are only the beginning of cement making. The powdered materials must then be subjected to intense heat for several hours in I huge rotary kilns. Here they are half melted and become a substance much harder than the original rock —clinker, it is called. Then the clinker must be crushed and 5 ground until at least 78 per cent of the resulting product will pass through the sieve woven finer than silk. This is portland cement. More than 80 power and fuel consuming J operations are necessary in cement making. % The electric power alone used in producing a barrel of portland cement would, if purchased at usual household rates, cost $1.70. Few manufactured products go through i so involved or complicated a process as portland cement.
