HOW TO DO IT. A MKTHOI) IN SOME OP OUR BRUO STORES. "I noticed," siiii the druggist, to his assistant, "that a gentleman came io with a prescription, and that you took it and gave him the stuff io about three minutes What do yon mi by that?" "It was only a litile carbolic acid and wa'er," replied the axMstant. "I simply had to pour a few drachms of acid into the battle and fill it up wiih water." "Never mind if you had oDly to do that," the AraeuM declared, "Don't you know that every pnciipiiiu uiu.-l take at kasl an dour to d pfn.e, or the cuatoQior ail think hi h-n't urtiin: anyihiiiK fur bin money 'J "When a prt'acripli'iii for salt and water or peppermint and cuiili s)rup i. handed to ynu, you must look at it doubtfully, as if it were very hard to make up. Then ynu must biin it to me and we will both read It and ihake our heads. After that you (to back to the cuatomer and ark him if he wauli it today. When bo says he does, you an wcr that you'll make a special effort. "Now, i patient appreciate pre scription ih.it there ha been si much trouble over, and when he takta it be derive snroe benefit from it. Hut don't you do aoy more of that three urnule prescription business, my boy, if yon want to become first-class druggist." SUNSET ON POPOCATAPETI There is almost no twilight in Mexico. You watoh the sun, a blaz'iDg orb, de- soendiog with growing swiftness, and wreathed in a veil of fire, toward the horiiio, writes Lee Woodward Zeigler in Reoreation. Suddenly it begins to drop behind the distant mountains and the shadows advance across the plain, swallowing up the landscape in mellow gloom. The shadow draws near and nearer envelops the town. Behind you the sky is still lit up with rosy beams. A line of shadow ereeps swiftly np the rugged Hides of the old Popocatepetl, ob scuring completely the base of the nioun lain as it advances. Up, np to the snow capped crest, deepening in tint, until at last it hangs like a great opal against the darkening sky. A moment it remains so, glowing and quivering as on fire grows smaller and is gone. Night has oome 1 Through the dusky silence you seek your hotel, passing on the road-side siient figures fagot-laden. "Adois, senor." Their soft-voiced greeting falls upon your ear like a benediction. A GLANCE HOMEWARD. Father in Heaven, we thank Thee for the Homeland beyond the river, May the fact that we are Homeward bouni fill ns with joy, eomfott us in sorrow, Arm us for difficulties and purify our every thought, word and action. Let the prodigal feel that Thy great heart is still yearning and that he may yet return and sit down in the Father's House Guide us step by step up the ladder of light and at last admit us to the hospital ity of Thy Light, for Jesus' sake, Amen KUTCIIEIt ISHUMOKOl'B. Look here, butcher, this meat ia half bone." "Yon are mistaken, sir. That is good meat." "Bollieratioul l'o you suppose I don't know bone when I seo it? I say this ia bone!" "lea, eertainly that's bone. The bone is bone but the meat isn't. You said the meat was half booe." Chicago Journal A KVKAL CONVERSATION, "Hey, boy, where 'a your brother?" "In the barn shoeio' horses." "Where's your mother?'' "In the back yard, shooin' chickens. "Where's your father?" "In the hammock, shooin' flies." OVERHEARD BY THE OF. FICE-BOY. "The editor looks downcast. What'i the matter with him?" "He received a letter yesterday in' forming him of an inheritance, and in the rush he replied: Declined with thanks," Translated for Tales From Meggeodorfer Blaetter. HE TALKS BACK. "9o let that settle it," Mre. Henpeck concluded; "a little word to the wise is sufficient." "Yes, my dear," replied Henpeck, "and to the average married man a word in edgewise is sufficient." Philadelphia Press. GETS WHAT HE LIKES. "Jones grumbles at cold weather?" "Yet." "And he grumbles at hot weather?" "Yet." "Whsttlocj hciiks?" "He likes to grumble." Chicago Journal. TOLD IN CONFIDENCE. The Caller "The man who wrote that poem yon printed yesterday didn't know what ha was talking about." Tht Editor "Of course not. Other wise it wouldn't have been poetry." Cbioago Daily News. EXTRAORDINARY, "But is Eva really such a pretty girl?'' "Pretty! Why, she would look pretty on a photograph taken on id outiog trip." Chicago Daily Newt, NAMING THE TWINS. TUR BRIGHT BOY OF BKVEN HAD N A M KH FOR. THEN. Carl was a boy of seven years at leant the sloty gives liim uo more who lived on lite Black Bay io Boston and he was greatly excited when he heard that twins were bom in a neighboring house. Ileake l all manner of questions of his school teacher about the subject until he formed a lair estimate as to what twins really were. With great impatience he wailed uulil evening came, in order to till hia father the wondcrlul news. He euded bis burst ol information by sayinp "I ti t names for them I If they were mine, I'd call them "Peter" and "Kept ter" I " Thill's very oien," said the futhcr, pleased with his koii'i brightness. "But what if they are both girls ?" Carl's ar dor was ly no means daiucned, After awhile he pulled his father's evening pa. per away. "If they were both iirl," he said suleuiuly, "I'd call 'm 'Kate' and aod 'Duplicate' I" "But, Carl," mid the father, "I am sorry, hut I understand that one is s boy snd the other ia a girl," Chagrined, but by no means daunted, Carl went and curled himself up on the sofa to thiuk out the new complications All at once he burst out : "Papa, if one was a baby boy aod the other could be a baby girl I'd I'd call 'em 'Max' and 'Climax' I" Selected. SECRET OF COURAGE In the faith that, although life is a mystery, it Is not a muddle, for Ood ia io His world bringing order out of apparent chaos: in the reverence which trusts and obeys God, mingled W'th the affeotion which clings to Him and rejoices in Him; la the will set to do God's will and have a little share in God's woik of healing, helping, conquering love, it found the secret of a courage which DO dangers can daunt, a patience which no delays can exhaust, and a confidence which do disappointments can destroy. Outlook. THE PSYCHOLOGICAL MOMENT, "Yes," said the married man, medita lively, "when you see a woman hanging out a line of clothes, and the line slips and lets the blessed lot down in the mud, that, my boy, is the psychological mo ment in which to leave that woman alone." Chicago Journal. How Is YourHeart? Is your pulse weak, too slow, too fast, or does it skip a beat? Do you have shortness of breath, weak or hungry spells, fainting.smothering or choking spells, palpitation, fluttering, pains around the heart, in side and shoulder; or hurt when lying on left side? If you have any of these symptoms your heart is weak or diseased, and cannot get better without assistance. Dr. Miles' Heart Cure strengthens weak hearts, and rarely ever fails to cure heart disease. Try it, and see how quickly you will find relief. "About January 1st, 1903. 1 took (town with weakness and drooav. and araduelty grew worae. 1 was told by my family Lhyeiclan that my ease was mint'ieaa. niy neignoors ano lani ily had given me up to die.

WOMAN IN PI.ATIHON DALE COULDN'T LOSE HER l.EUS, PET MK1IIT LOSE HER NEW BONNET. When the wind was io its molt capri cious mood yofteril'ty afternoon a woman at that mysterious ago when her friends speak of her as "well pressed," made a datih around the Fifth avenue corner of the Flatiron Building. Her gown was the lightest of summer muilins, and on her head she wore a marvelous ores lion of gauie and flowers. Kverv vagabond Irene in that vicini ty instantly taw an opportunity to do stunts. Sooner than it takes to tell it, the summer muslin was describing the inott alarming aerial flights. Hut its owner, hand on either side of her hat, kept oo aa stubbornly as though such a display of open work hosiery were an every day affair. "Madam," cried another woman, rush ing up to her, holding her owu draperies io a tight embrace, "you are probably not aware of it, hat your skirts are above your knees." "I don't oaie," retorted the other, never moving a finger from the II wcr laden bonnet, "I've hid theae legs IVr forty-eight years, but 1 have just bought this hat and paid (18 for it, aod I don't mean to lose it." New York World. RATHER POINTED. Law's delay is the lawyer's meat. Some people mistake patience for sense. Most men who pay as they go are very alow travelers. Gossip and ice cream open many femi nine mouths. No man with torpid liver can be a lueeessful optimist. It sometimes happens that a man lies when he smiles and says nothing. A woman in politics is about as orna mental as a diamond in a mud puddle. There would be no such thing as a silent tomb if women had their way. It's easier for a wise man to act foolish than it ia for a foolish man to aet wise. If all donkeys had long eare it would be necessary to change the style of mas culine headgesr. Society people make as much fuss about getting married aa thealrioal people do in getting divorced. Most people are salUfied with what they have. It's what they haven't that eausea their dissatisfaction. Cltl'EC MAN, Husband "What! Do you mean to say yon haven't decided yet what to do in that matter? Wife "Just leave me alone for a fe' minutes. I want to make np my mind," Husband "Huml I'm afraid you'll have to use a microscope." Philadel phia Ledger.
