THE PRATICED HAND.
The Rev. Mr. Smilie, off on i
vacational fishing trip, was horri
fied to hear a youthful angler using
words that had a dark, blue tinee.
"My boy," he remonstrated.
'don't you know that the fish wil
never bite if you swear like that?"
I know I ain't very good at it,"
replied the youngster apologetical
ly. "But I thought maybe 1 could
get some little ones on the few
words 1 know. Here, you take
my pole and see what you can
do."
DO OOOD NOW.
Dr. Johnson wisely said : "He
who waits to do a great deal of
good at once, will never do any
thing." Life is made up of little
limit's. True greatness consists
being great in littte things. How
are railroads built? By one shov
elful of dirt after another; one
shovelful at a time. Thus drops
make the ocean. Henee we should
be willing io do a little good in
little things, lit i lo acts one after an
other; speaking a word" here, giv
ing a smile there, and setting a
good example at all times. We
must do the first good things we
can, and then the next, and the
next, and so keep on doing. Thus
only shall we do all the good in
our power.
EVEN THERE.

the sky?

in it refuses to move out.

I am glad I broke my engage

surprise. "What has he done?"
"Well, I sent him back his pres

mond ring and a lew other things
that I thought 1 was really entitled
to, considering how many times
he had taken dinner at our house
and all, and asked him to return
mine."
"Well, did he refuse?"
"He did not. He not only sent
back a box of cigars, unopened,
and a pen wiper and a knit neck
tie, but he sent also five boxes of
face powder, saying that he estima
ted that to be about the quantity
he had taken away on his coat du

"I was born in lndiany," says the stranger, lank and slim,
As us fellers in the resterunt was kind of guying him,
And Uncle Jake was sliding him another punkin pie
And a extry cup o' coffee, with a twinkle in his eye.
"I was born in lndiany more 'un forty year ago
And 1 hain't been back in twenty and I'm workin' back'ards slow;
But I've et in ever resterunt 'twixt here and Santy Fee,
And I want to state this coffee tastes like gitlin' home to me I
Pour us out another, Daddy," says the feller, warmin' up,
A speakin 'cross a saucerful, as Uncle tuk his cup.
"When I seed yer sign out yonder," he went on, to Uncle Jake,
'Come in and git some coffee like your mother used to make'
I thought of my old mother and the Posey county farm,
And me a little kid again, a-hangin' on her arm,
As she set the pot abilin', broke the eggs and poured 'em in''
And the feller kind o' halted, with a trimble in his chin :
And Uncle Jake he fetched the feller's coffee back, and stood
As solemn, fer a minute, as a undertaker would;
Then he sort 'or turned and tip toed lords the kitchen door and next
Here, comes his old wife out with him, a-rubbin' ov her specs
And she rushes for the stranger, she hollers out, "It's him !
Thank God, we've met him comin'l Don't you know yer mother, Jim ?"
And the feller, as he grahbed her, says "You bet I hain't forgot
"But," wipin' ov his eyes, he says, "your coffee's mighty hot !"

MADE WILD WAVES WILD.
They were at the seaside with
the well-known moon overhead.
She was cuddled in his arms and
for hours they had been murmur
ing sweet nothings. Finally she
said the word that made him the
happiest man in the world. The
moment of sweet sorrow of parting
came and, after a long caress, he
tore himself away and dashed to
ward the station.
But just as he disappeared, the
look on her face changed from joy
to consternation, and a sob rose in
her throat.
"Great heavens!" she wailed.
"I clean forgot to get that fellow's

WEAK, NERVOUS
Mr. Enoch Moore, ol Oconee, S. C, tells liow Znon lu lpcd him: "I
was nervous, and my limbs seemed to ache as llioui I w.is scarf J-or
some such leellng, I can hardly describe it. I would have weak
"trembles." I was sallow, had a draggy, worn feeling; didn't rest well
at night. I read of Ziron and thought if it had helped others it might do
the same (or me. I knew I could at least try it. 1 began using
The Scientific Iron Tonic
and very shortly I felt better, ate and slept more, and the weak, nervous
feeling gradually left me. It was a tonic a builder I needed, and Ziron
seemed to hit the spot."
If Mr. Moore had not been benefited by the first bottle of Ziron he
took, lie could have gotten his money back, for Ziron is sold by reliable
drug,;ils everywhere on a money-back guarantee.
Insist upon Ziron Iron Tonic. When you need Ziron, there's noth
iiitr as cood. so refu&e Imitations and substitutes.
