Il7be youngster's Question About Labu f A judge of one of the United States eircuit courts has a five-year-old niece of whom he is very proud. A few days ago she came to him and said with a very serious air: "Uncle. there is a question about law I want to ask you." "Well, dear, what is it?" patiently inquired the jndye. "Uncle, ifavkianvkad a peacock and it went into another man's yard and laid an egg who would the egg belong to?" The judge smiled indulgently and replied: s "Why, the egg would belong to the man who owned the peacock, but he could be prosecuted for trespassing if r\n +V>r? nthor's nrnnprtv to iret UC T? CAIb vu iuv ~ f W - it.*' The child seemed very much interested in the explanation and then observed innocently: "Uncle, did it ever occur to you that a peacock couldn't lay an egg?"?New York Times. A Cruel Husband. "Why, daughter." said the rich father of the girl who married the penniless nobleman, "what does this mean? How comes it that you are home again, with all your trunks?" ' "Father," wept the girl, "I cannot live with the duke any longer." "Can't live with him any longer! Has he been cruel to you?" "Indeed he has." she sobbed, clinging to the tender hearted old man. "He is always taunting me with our poverty." "Poverty! Why. dadgum him. Didn't I buy him outright for you?" "That's just it.

' _ WorK "Didn't Agree 'COith Her Down the middle of the road of a suburban town the street car tracks lay shining in the broiling sun. On either side the footpath wound cool and dark in the shadow of giant trees, which rustled invitingly with every breeze. In the shadow of one of these trees stood a man; cool, calm and serene. A woman, obviously of the working class, came toward him. She 6tooped beneath the weight of an enormous parcel ? doubtless her portable trunk. The perspiration lay in great crystal beads on her brow and rolled riotously down her nose. "Can you tell me the way to the station V" she asked the man. He was a friendly person, of an inquiring turn of mind. "Going to the city?" he asked pleasantly. "Sure," she said. "I came out here to be a waitress in a hotel, but the work didn't agree wid me. Does you liunnon tr> L-nnw snv nne who wants a girl?willing and intelligent?" The man didn't. "Then." she said, "if you'll just tell me the way to the station I'll be going." "Why," said the man, "just take the car." Then, as he saw the girl flush slightly, he tactfully added, "Or, if you prefer walking, you might just follow the car tracks." "And sure," she said smilingly, "I like walking. Did you say just to follow the tracks?" and as the man nodded pleasantly she started off toward the middle of the road, and the last he saw of her she was trudging slowly down between the tracks, wearily shifting her parcel from one drooping shoulder to the other. The man watched her in silence for a minute; theu, turning to a well dressed woman who had been standing waiting for the car uear enough to hear the entire conversation, he sighed, "Well, I'll be bio wed if that ain't the biggest fool I ever met?and she calls herself 'willing and intelligent.'

Many a man and woman have been deceived by the taie that there was health to be found out beyond the sunset, and they have started out dreaming of a healthful future, w ucvu lu lfc People who have tried change of climate in vain for the cure of weak lungs have been perfectly and permanently cured by the use of Dr. Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery. It cures deep-seated coughs, bronchitis, bleeding lungs, emaciation, ana other conditions which, if neglected or unskilfully treated, find a fatal end in consumption. "Last spring I had a severe attack of pneumonia which left me with a very bad cough, and also left my lungs in a very bad condition," writes John M. Russell. Esq.. of Brent, Cherokee Nat.. Ind. Ty. "I had no appetite and was so week I could scarcely walk. My breast \vas all sore with running sores. I got two bottles of Dr. Pierce * Golden .Medical Discovery, which I believe saved my life. I cauirot express my gratitude to yen. I am able now to do very good work." Any substitute offered as "just as good" as "Golden Medical Discovery" is a shadow of that medicine. There are cures behind every claim made for the "Discovery," which no "just as good" medicine can show. The People's Common Sense Medical Adviser, a book containing 1008 pages, is given away.

It's shameful when youth fails to show proper respect for old age, but just the contrary in the case of Dr. King's New Life Pills.
