Room at the Top. Little Jennie had been eating very heartily, but she asked for another piece of cake. "Jennie," said her mother, "I don't believe I ought to give it to you. You're about as full as a little girl can pos sibly be. Another mouthful, and you'll surely burst I" "But, mamma, my neck's left yet!" ' Ifald the little girl, persuasively. Sure Enough.

Save the Babies INFANT MORTALITY i something frightful. We can hardly realize that of all the children born in civilized countries, twenty-two per cent., or nearly one-quarter, die before they reach one year; thirty-seven per cent, or more than one-third, before they an five, and one-half before they are fifteen I We do not hesitate to say that a timely use of Castoria would save many of these precious Uvea. Neither do we hesitate to say that many of these infantile deaths are occasioned by the use of narcotic preparations. Drops, tinctures and soothing syrups Bold for children's complaints contain more or less opium or morphine. They are, in considerable quantities, deadly poisons. In any quantity, they stupefy, retard circulation and lead to congestions, sickness, death. There can be no danger in the use of Cas toria if it bears the signature of Chas. H. Fletcher as it contains no opiatea or narcotics of any kind.Xr &7 s? Genuine Castoria always bears the signature of t'V4' '. p IP What Did He Mean? Until three o'clock this afternoon Warden Ilanley of the Tombs prison was a perfectly contented warden, says a New York correspondent. He had been told twice during the morning that a man with a frock coat and a silk hat had called to see him, and as the man was to return at three o'clock, Mr. Ilanley cut short his tour of the prison and returned to his office. He found that the caller had called, fumed and finally left this note: "Thirty years ago my father, who was of me dium height and undoubtedly punctual, was employed as a heat denunciator In a metal mill in Pittsburgh. For years, or at least for a considerable time, he told no one. However, It was common rumor. Now, after all these years, does it seem that a man would delib Yerately take any such action? What " would be his motive? I ask you as a humanitarian to discuss this with no one. Merely use it for your own infor mation and proceed likewise. I leave for Pittsburgh at four o'clock, but trust you implicitly. A Friend. At a late hour Warden Ilanley, having read the note through 92 times, was reading it through for the ninety-third time.

A rtal estate, agent was testifying in court recently In a case involving the exchange of a picture show for a farm. It was contended that the theater was not worth what It was represented, owing to Its location. The attorney asked the witness to state what the surroundings of the theater were. "Next door to it was a shoe shining place," he answered, "then came a garage, and next was a saloon, and that's as far as I got." When the ex citement subsided, the Judge observed that that was a good place to stop, and the customary midsession recess was called. Indianapolis News. Has a Fine Edge.

The company were singing, and when they came to the chorus he joined in with growls and grumbles that seemed to come from well down toward his belt. Beyond doubt, melody was not his forte. A big, hulking sergeant came along. "What's the matter? What are you howling about?" "I'm singing bass," explained the "rookie.'

Twenty-Five Years' Experience With Kidney Remedy Between twenty-five and thirty years ago I commenced selling Dr. Kilmer's Swamp-Root and during all that time I have never heard a single complaint from my customers: they are more inclined to praise it; and judging from their favor able remarks and the repeated sfes I enjoy I am confident that Swamp-Root is a valuable medicine for the troubles for which it is intended.

Every man can live five years longer if he will take from twenty to fifty deep breaths of fresh air every day. Not the way we usually breathe, but real deep breaths ; counting ten as you take In the breath through your nose ; ten more while you hold it, and ten while you are letting it out. No sin gle rule is so infallible for good health. I know this from personal experience; for the moment I feel "stuffed up" and realize a "cold" is coining, I breathe deply and almost invariably kill the cold. Deep breathing starts the circu lation, and where good circulation ex ists there can be no "cold." Ladies' Home Journal. Tetterlne Cures Itching Piles. Fort Scott, Kansas.

LESSON TEXT II Chron. 30:1-13. Ahaz reigned sixteen years from about 739 to 723 B. C, over the king dom of Judah, its capital being in Jeru salem. The kingdom was nearing its end, and was destroyed within a few years after the death of Ahaz. His character presents many interesting questions for discussion ; the character of his reign, the wealth and prosperity of his father and grandfather, the de velopment of his character from the i home wherein he originated, why a na tion can be successful and not be right eous or virtuous, that is, outwardly successful, and the application of these questions to our present-day political and commercial lives. I. Ahaz, the Ruler, (w. 1-5). The character of Ahaz is not to be admired. He played a prominent and evil part in the history of the Kingdom of Judah. We find his name recorded among the Syrian inscriptions of the year 732 B. C, the Hebrew historian having dropped the prefix "Jeho" from his name. The full name Indicates that he had "grasped Jehovah," yet he was untrue to his name. The historian says "he did not that which was right in the sight of the Lord." This puts it mildly, but Indeed few of the kings of Judah did otherwise, and he patterned his conduct not after the good model of his father, but the thoroughly bad conduct of the kings of the northern nation, Israel. He was but twenty years of age when he took the throne, but had already entered upon a course of action opposed to that of his father. II. Ahaz Ruined. The choice lay before him of following in the steps of his grandfather Uzziah and his father Jotham (II Chron. 1:10). He chose to defy God, openly disobeyed him and was disloyal to his God and his coun try, walking in the ways of the kings of Israel, (v. 2), burnt his children in the fire, after the abominations of the heathen, (v. 3), made molten images of Baal, (v. 2), and spread that wor ship into the high places on the hills and under every green -tree (v. 4), made sacrilegious use of the temple's treasury, and was dishonest as well as profane. He trusted Baalim more than he trusted God. III. Ahaz Rebuked. God did not al low him to pursue his course of action without protest. When the children of good men go wrong, there is no meas uring the extent of depravity to which they will sink. Nevertheless, God was opposed and tried to save the young man and the nation. God used the king of Syria as one agency for rebuk ing this mad young man. He carried away great multitudes captive, one hundred and twenty thousand in one day (v. 6), and "two hundred thou sand women, sons and daughters" (v. 8) at another date. Ahaz himself was filled with terror at the great ca lamity that overtook him. (Isa. 7:2.) While he received temporary help (II Kings 16: 9, 10), he received ultimately ruin from the king of Assyria, for he became a vassal and was summoned to Damascus to pay homage to that king, as appears from the account II Kings 16:7-9, and al.o from the Assy rian inscription, above referred to. Other enemies also attacked him Edoruites from the southeast carried away captives, and the Philistines from the southwest invaded the cities of the low plains, south of Judah, and took possession of them (vv. 17-19) and the army of the Assyrian, which Ahaz led to rob and profane the temple and its treasures in order to buy them off (v. 22-24), completed the ruin of his nation. Ahaz was forced to pay a heavy tribute to the Assyrian king (v. 21), and got no help for his out lay. He put his trust in an arm or flesh Instead of in the mighty arm of God, which brought upon him the curse that always comes to those who trust in man (Jer. 17:5, 6). There is a blessing which always awaits those who trust in Jehovah (Jer. 17:7, 8). The wise man turns to God not in the time of his distress but at all times. Instead of sacrificing to the God who saved his father and who would save him, Ahaz sacrificed to the god "which smote him." His defiance knew no hounds (v. 24). He seemed to have dabbled in every known form of false worship, thereby "provoking to anger the Lord God of his fathers" (II Kings 23:11, 12). God Is long-suffering to those who wander from him, but there comes an end to his patience (II Pet.-r 3:9, 30). Easily Converted. It Is not at all difficult to convert the owner of a new automobile to the good-roads theory, if he is caught at the moment when he Is trying to worm his way through a fresh sod improvement, two miles and a half long and running from fence to fence.

HAfiOLO SOMERS, IM9 DE KALB AVE., BROOKLYN. N. V. WAS OVERRULED BY HIS SON Sir Edward Carson Tells How the Young Man Got Into the Brit ish Army. Sir Edward Carson introduced a personal note into a speech which he made the other day when he was the guest of the liritish Empire Producers' organization, at the Savoy hotel, says the London Chronicle. "I remember," said Sir Edward, "when a little son of mine came to me and said 'Father, I want to join the navy class at school.' I said, 'What rubbish! You are going to be a law yer.' lie told me plainly that I was wrong, and I explained to him how much better it would he to make money In the Temple than lose it at sea. He said, 'You don't seem to recognize the importance of the navy; it is the great connecting link between the mother country and ihe colonies.' "I replied, 'Well, if you put it on that high plane, I must alter my views.' He Is now commanding a submarine, and only yesterday, in my capacity of first lord of the admiralty, I had to read an account of an attempt of one of our destroyers to sink his subma rine." His Clutch Slipped. Harold, age four was trudging with father to Sunday school, and the long tramp was almost too much for him. The father, glancing back, noticed the small boy's fatigue, and slackening his pace asked: "Am I walking too fast, son?" "No," returned the small boy, puf find and panting breathlessly, "It's me, papa." Christian Herald. All Sav It. Customer (hold up box How much for this? Fair P.azaar Attendant Five shil lings.

Recent ly he had three men of his company in to help him remove the grand piano, and, as this gift of Aunt Eliza's was of hefty build, he signed a blank order that the men might obtain beer from the canteen ; leaving the amount there of for the warriors to fill in them selves. Here was a dispute. "Put down six pints," suggested Private Dumps. "More like a barrel !" growled one of the others. But at last the sergeant came along with the right idea.

There Is an article on the care of children In the Woman's Home Com panion In which the writer says : "Nervousness sometimes is the re sult of some personal defect. Malnu trition, anemia, defective eyesight, bad teeth or adenoids may be the predis posing cause. Nature offers the best cure. Tlenty of nourishing food and wholesome outdoor life are essential, and these children should be encour aged to play and to take regular ex ercise, such as walking, rowing and swimming.

"No' a bad selection, Jock," re marked his friend. "Oh. maybe no' in a way ; but when the minister and the lawyer start nn argument on Egyptian law in the mid dle o' the night across half a dozen beds, with the blessed auctioneer as umpire, what chance has even a prac tical plumber o' stoppln the gas leak?"

Hnllie was great friends with a neighbor boy named liruce. They lived In the country and had a mile to walk to school, and always went and re turned together. One day, after school, Ilallie went home alone, Bruce having stopped at his own home just below our house. He was in a disheveled condition, and on being questioned, confessed that he had been fighting, and that he had come out second best. "But," said his mother, in a puzzled tone, "I thought Bruce was your friend." "Yes, he is," replied Hallie, plaintive ly. "I don't know what he would have done to me if he hadn't been my friend."
