make* it a practice not to diacloae the
p)ot of his productions iu advauce, thus

amatory experience of a rne.ek aud modest
young husfauid who is compelled to live
up to his reputation as a Hon Juan in
order to retail! his wife's affections.
His strategy iu this direction results in

HAS TALE OF WOE
UnoJe Joe Fell Among? Well, Say
Profiteers.
Charged $1.50 for On* off the Ab?olut?
N?oe**arl#? off Ut9, He Ha* Re
nounced Yank??$ and All
Thalr Worka
Anyone who hu? ever had the mad*
denlng experience of being ntung,
stripped, robbed or mulcted of a good
ly Hum can ami will sympathize with
Uncle Joe Howsley, a gentleman from
the Lone Star state, who came Kaat
on n Utile summer trip and fell among
thieves, as he views .the mattor. Unci*
Joe la an expert on watermelons, know*
Ing the fruit from stem to blow end
like a book. He ' is also familiar with
watermelon etiquette, so his experience
proved shocking In more way* than
one. A writer In a Pittsburgh paper
tells the stotry as follows:
Uncle Joe owned a five-acre farm
down In Shackleford county, Tex**,
until a few months ago. He then,
through the will of a benign fate and
the activities of an oil compvUN cea^fd
being the owner of a farm and became
an oilman with an Income of several
thousand perfectly good dollars a
month. As a consequence, the wander
lust struck Uncle Joe and he accord
ingly hied himself northward to ex
plore unfamiliar lauds. $fow he la
going back to Qod's country, glad, auh.
that the unfamlllarlty lasted for the
years It did.
Down In Uncle Joe's land the neo
tar known as the watermelon Is a fa
vorite form of diet, and Uncle Joe Is
one of the epicure* who when Jn his
part of the world partook of the treat
dally. Down there a melon of a sire
that would tax a man's strength to
^tote, suh, could he purchased for a five
cent piece. Or, If a field was at hand
wherein grew the food of the godn, the
talcing thereof without the knowledge
of the field's owner whs eontddered no
broach of the law.
It Is not strayge, therefore, that on
strolling about a city to view Its sights,
when "Uncle Joe's" eyes fell upon a
restaurant In the window of which
were displayed numerous Inviting red
nnd green melons, life took on an In
terest that It had not felt since his
train had passed over the boundary of
the (irund Old State.
"Uncle Joe" hastened Inside and
called for watermelon.
After what seemed much time, a
slice, which "Uncle Joe" will testify
wus not more thuu two by six inches,
was placed before htm.1
"I said 'watermelon'; not h bite,
suh," he announced cuttingly, when Jjls
amazement at the magnitude of the
thing before him had passed sufficient
ly to allow htm to speak. * -
After much argument, he made the
bewildered waiter understand that
what he desired was a whole melon
like any gentleman Is served with down
where tliey know how to serve It.
"Uncle Joe" consumed the two halves
placed before him in blissful Ignorance
of the outrage that was about to be
perpetrated upon him.
Th?n came fhe check !
Watermelon, $l..r^suh! .
It wasn't necessary to send In a riot
call, but for a time it looked as though
It might be. Ah It was, "Uncle Joe"
stamped from the den of thieves, vow
ing vengeance against all Yankees In
general and one Yankee restaurant In
particular.
Must Keep Climbing.
You can m?ver let down the bani
when you want to become great. The
price Is eternal Vigilance. Even when
success Is assured you must keep on
going. ? Men who ^become great by
spurts usually sink jnto Insignificance
the same way. Besides making tip
your mind that you are going to suc
ceed# you must see to It that you real
ize what's In your mind. Talking
about what you expect to do will never
bring It to pass. The up-hill is always
before you. The only way to reach
the top Is to climb, ff you can com
mand the means that takes you ther#
It will save your energy for other
things. Usually the energy you de
velop through the climb will be useful
In days to come. The climb may tlr?
you, but It will also make you appre
ciate the view. ? Grit.
Ancient Indian Burial Ground.
Beneath roots of two large trees two
Indian skulls and other bones of the
human body were found by workmen
leveling mounds in the city park on
the shores of Lake Bemldji, Minn.
The skulls and bones were badly
decayed, hut the teeth ^ere In fairly
good condition. Charcoal in large
quantities was found In the vicinity
of the bones, which indicates that the
place was an Indian burial pyre, pld
residents say.
It Is believed that beneath the
mound may be found mnny more
bodies, hut the workmen merely re
moved the top earth and, with the ex*
ceptlon of a few bones which were
gathered by souvenir seekers, the
skeletons were again buried.
No Doubt of That.
"Of course, you know that whisky
Is poison?"
"Yes." replied Uncle Bill Bottletopi
"any kind you can buy now Is mljfhty
likely to be."

Keep Good Company
A^HEN a man enters a home, or
a hotel, or other place of refinement, the very atmos
phere brings the best in him to the surface. By
the same token, when a man dons Society Brand
Clothes he feels called upon to express his true self.
The atmosphere of good dressing inspires him. He
knows that he will be judged by his appearance
and he rises to the occasion.
And by the way, you find Society Brand Clothes
most plentiful iiv these homes, hotels and other re
fined atmospheres. Wherever men congregate un
der the critical eyes of sisters, wive? and mothers,
they feel the need of Society Brand to assure them
selves of being groomed up to feminine approval.
