choose, in whatever way you wish, with
out suffering any additional discomfort
while Clinking, The comfort you'll gain
is only one of the advantages of using a
Wiekless S Oil Stove
It is handier than a coal stove and cleaner and cheaper. Tlie Wiekless Blue

(IIFTS THAT WKKE NOT APPRECIATED
HV THOSE WHO RECEIVED THEM.
Speaking about precocious children,
said n resident of North Indianapolis a
lew evenings ago, ''reminds mo of an in
cidi nl which i curred about three years
ago in this locality. The family in (pies
lion livid ill a beautiful cottage home on
Clifton sin i t. The parents wci " well
edjicaud, and tin y hud three children
(wo buys and a girl. The buys wore
rather si iw, as the world would tirm it,
in tin ir mental capacity, while the girl
was unusually bright and precocious in
her nature. The parents were very proud
ol her and taught her easy verses and
stories which she would repeat at die re
iU' St uf her mother's friends, who won
dered al her brilliancy.
"At last the mother thought if she
could teach her to repeat 'Curfew Shall
Not lling Tonight' with accuracy nnd
pa expression she would accomplish
a wonderful feat and her little 11-year old
lol weiiid be (he admiratiou of (he entire
city, ho she set about to accomplish the
task and spent many long and weary days
before the little one could repeat the
poem, a la.-k which is difficult for one
f mature years and much training as an
elocutionist. Finally her dream was re
alized. Her baby, iu her childish talk
and simplicity, could repeat the poem
woid for word, and in her dimpled hands
she would emphasiz i the strongest pas
sages with the proper gesture.
"One night they gave a party and in
vited their friend'. During the evening
the guests, knowing the remarkable
ability uf the child, asked her to speak
forlhcin. The mother, anxious to as
tonish her gucsls with lur baby's wonder
ful memory, asked her to speak 'Curfew
Shall Not King Tonight.'
"'The child was lired aud sleepy, but
she heeded her mother's request. She
began the difficult lak, and when about
halfway through she forgot. Her moth
er helped her out by prompting, and sh(
cotitinued. Finally she hesitated again
and said :
"'I lau't 'member it, mamma.'
"At last, tired and sleepy, she sank
down on (he floor and fell asleep. The
mother carried her to her bod, but th
little one was nervous, and in a short
lime brain fever began to develop. All
through the uight in her delirium si
juld civ out:
" 'I tau t 'member it, mamma.'
"The fond parents, realizing, (heir niis-
ke, did all in their power to restore the
little otic lo health again, but it was too
ate. The month of weary toil and the
climax of the night were too much for
e childish nat'ire and ability of the
babe, nnd before dawn she had passed
into that peaceful slec;i which knows no
king. No, it dees not pay to tax the
mental ability of a child beyond its
strength." Indianapolis Sentinel.
