The fact is that all foods do not agree alike with different persons. Hence, avoid what seems to constipate the child or to give it indigestion, and urge it to take m<Jre of what is quickly digested. If the child sho?vs a tendency to constipation it should immediately be given a mild laxative to help the bowels. By this is not meant a physic or purgative, for these should never be given to children, nor anything like salts, pills, etc. What the child requires is simply a small dose of the gentlest of medicines,4uch as Dr Caldwell's Syrup Pepsin, which, in the opinion of thousands of watchful mothers, is the ideal remedy for any child showing a tendency to constipation. So many things can hap pen to a constipated child that care is necessary. Colds, piles, headache, sleeplessness and many other annoyances that children should not have can usually be traced to constipation. Many of America's foremost families are never without Syrup Pepsin, because one can never tell when some member of the family may j need it,and all can use it.

I walked a short distance to his home and was put to bed, thinking that the extent of his injuries was only a bruised shoulder. He complained of headache but could not tell exactly what caused it, nor could the butcher with whom he was working; the accident occurred so quickly that it was not known that the skull was fractured. -After thirty minutes Mr Creecy was seized with a convulsion and afterward became unconscious. Dr CH Pate was called and found the skull broken as above stated. Dr Pate took Mr Creecy to Florence for treatment, accompanied by the youth's uncle, Mr H 0 Welch of Kingstree.

The marriage of Miss Althere McKnight to Mr J C Marshall of Morrisville was solemnized Wednesday, October 22, at 7:30 p. m. at the home of the bride's parents' near town. The wedding was quite i private, only the relatives and close [ friends of the contracting parties, being present at the ceremony, which was performed by Rev P SI McChesney, the bride's pastor. In the parlor where the ceremony was performed pot plants, trailing smilax and white tapers were used ; for the desired decorative effects,! and made an artistic setting for the bridal party, which entered to the strains of Mendelssohn's wedding march played by Miss Olive Mont-1 gomery of King9tree.

"In Closed Territory" the author describes the experience: It proved to be our day to learn a lot about the elephant's whims and what he can do when he I like6. Of course the creek lay be- j tween us, which might seem a protection, but it was not. They all j whirled and thundered away from us. But scarcely had we gone a hundred feet before the whole herd came plunging back upon their tracks at the same mad pace. They stopped stock still ten yards from us, as we afterward proved, but they were hidden from us as before. This time they were bunched in a half circle about us. For probably ten minutes there was utter silence; then they started feeding and amusing themselves as before. This continued for perhaps fifteen minutes, when all sound ceased again, and the wood ? ? 11 Ko/1 oil /Irnn. waa os Diiii aw u uuu uivj/ ped dead. And there we sat for the larger part of an hour, wondering how long an afternoon siesta well regulated elephant families usually take. We were in constant expectation of renewed movement by some of the herd. We could have sworn that they were still within the toes of a biscuit. But when presently a slight stir among the leaves directly before Outram made us throw up our rifles out stepped Akuna, who had raced out of our eight at the first stampede. He brought the incredible intelligence that the elephants were gone out of the bush and were disappearing off toward the north.

Soap used to provide King James I. with a comfortable addition to his income. That canny monarch granted the company of soapmakere of Westminster the monopoly for the making of soap in England in return for the payment of $30 a ton on all soap produced. The importation of soap was forbidden, and - ? ? ? 1--1 fiL ofboers were appointed to o?u wuu illicit soap boiling, its manufacture even in private houses for domestic purposes being punishable by heavy penalties. Moreover, a proclamation was issued that "the soap made by the company is good, sweet and serviceable for our people/' The annual revenue derived by the king from this source amounted to about $150,000.

While the first cost of steel is nearly twice that of the wood used for timbering, the ultimate cost is lower, as steel lasts much longer.

After dinner this same "everybody" devotes himself to pleasure. Edward Fawning, an American, and his bride were in this city of joyful adventures and were dining at a cafe on Rue Itivoli. They had both heard of the view of life to be had in Paris and had come there to witness it having agreed that they would do so to gether. the husband not going anywhere that he could not take his wife. But they did not know where to go. What is the use of being in a city where strange sights are to be seen without knowing where they are. what they are or how to get to them? Then, dinner finished, they were ready to go forth to take a peep at this gay city, but they still sat over their wine, for they had no guide. A man sat at a table near by. and Fawning, who spoke French fairly, said to him: "Monsieur, my wife and I are Americans who have come to Paris to see what is to be seen, keeping within the bounds of what a lady may witness Can you tell us of some of the / places of interest and how to get to them." "Would monsieur like a guide?" "Most assuredly." # "Then I am at your service." A bargain was struck wherein Pawning should pay 50 francs, or $10, and the stranger should show them where to go. A taxicab was ordered, and the three entered, the stranger directing the coachman where to drive. "Are you a professional guide T asked Pawning as they rolled along. "No. monsieur." "I suppose you took pity on as,** rejoined Fawning. "I go with you for company. 1 am very alone in the world. I do not make friends easily." "What Is your regular business?" "I am a surgeon." Both bride and groom looked surprised. A surgeon was not a man to act as guide for a couple of Americans. Besides, the man did not nave a professional cut. On the contrary, he was a very ordinary looking person. "What is your name?" asked Fawning. / "Call me monsieur. It wouid not do for me to give you my name." "I see. Yon, a surgeon, would not like to have It known that you have been a guide. You need not fear for us; we do not know s single person Id Paris. But I can understand your fpncy for taking up with a couple of strangers for a few hours, especially since you say you are In need of companionship. There is nothing so depressing as loneliness." "Besides, my professional work la not inspiring." "By no means. The severing of human limbs, to me, would be horrible** They drew up to a building where the tango was being danced.

Pawning could not understand where the companionship la such n coarse came in, bat acquiesced. Indeed, there was something about the man that gare Mrs. Fawning a dread of him, and she was pleased that he had remained behind. | Those foreign curiosities that one hears so much about seldom come up to the expectation. Mrs. Fawning waji not especially interested in the danced 1 and they did not remain long. Monsieur drove them to several other sights, but they were not especially charmed. About 11 o'clock they stopped at a restaurant and invited their guide to go In with them and drink a bottle of champagne. ?

"I must go at 12 to prepare for my operation." "What?an operation so early In the morning!" "The law prescribes the hour." Mrs. Fawning looked at her husband uneasily. There was something about this strange man that repelled her. Bnt I she held her ground till midnight. wh? monsieur, bidding them good night, departed. "Walter, the bill!" said Fawning as soon as coeir guiae naa gone. "These is no bill." "Why nor "Monsieur de Paris never pays. All Is free to him." "Wbo is Monsieur de Paris?
