FEW MOTHERS WELCOME THE TIME
WHEN THEIR BOYS CO OUT INTO
THE HARD WORLD.
Almosi every mother keeps her
boy in "knee cams" iust ns Inno
as she can; she hates to see him
becoming a man, for she feels that
he is getiing away from her.
A mother sees only wiih reluc
tance the boy pass from the love
and care and peace with which she
has surrounded him, out into the
world of pitiless endeavor in which
he must play his part.
The mother's selfish fondness
discloses iiself in the ludicrous
child's garment and the wornout,
home bred horse wiih which she
sends forth die would-be knight.
These are to the modern analytical
mind painfully symbolic of the un
conscious inierference on the pan
of Parents wiih the nrnnpr nrluli
equipment of iheir children for an
maepenoeni lite. Their apparent
fondness conceals the unconscious
wish thai ihe child will find himself
Ulieauinned for the DTHulr iLnrtH
and compelled 10 mm back 10 ihe
sneiier.

RUSSIAN MONARCH SELECTED
BRIDE' KROM THE PRETTIEST
MAIDENS OH LAND OVER WHICH
HE RULED.
In Russia, in the Sixteenth cen
tury, the choice of a bride for the
czar was made from all the
pretty girls of the country. Ivan,
who ruled 1520-1584, being ready
for a wife, ordered all the beauti
ful girls in the country to come to
Moscow. Preliminary contests
were held in each province, and
candidates selected. In the ma
jority of cases the contestants were
delighted wiih the chance to go 10
Moscow, and still more delighted
with hope of becoming ruler of
Russia. An immense hall was
built and, on the day of the choos
ing, 1,500 of ihe most beauiiful
girls in Russia were ready to con
test for Ivan's favor.
Accompanied by ai) aged cour
tier, ihe czar simlled ihrouli the
hall, all the girls smiling shyly or
openly ai his highness as he passed
them. After a process of elimina
tion was gone through wiih, Anas
tasla, daughier of an ancient bin
poor family, was chosen, and made
empress of 50,000,000.

YOUR BEAUTIFUL HAIR,
BY FRANK L. STANTON.
For love and for life you have left me but this
Only a ringlet to clasp and to kiss !
And ufier ihe fear, and the tear, and (he prayer,
Only a tress of your beauiiful hair
()i your silken, soft, shadowy, beauiiful hair !
Hair that l.ove crowned ihut his lingers unwound
In moments when even the Silence seemed sound
And speech was immortal! U'hen the rise and the fall
Of a flower on your beautiful bosom said all !
And eanh moved in music and Life was Love's thrall.
You have left me but ihis, of your love and your trust;
The love thai lies dreamless in daisies and dust;
But over my heart, in the night of despair,
I shall feel the soft fall of your beautiful hair
'Till I drift 10 God's Morning and meet wiih you there !
As Dead auho Dodo
Every druggist in town your druggist and everybody's drug
gist has noticed a great falling off in the sale of calomel. They
all give the same reason. Dodson's Liver Tone is taking its
place.
"Calomel Is dangerous and people know it, while Dodson's
Liver Tone Is perfectly safe and gives better results," said i
prominent lout druggist.
Take "Dodson's Liver Tone" Instead !
Dodaon' Liver Tone i personally
guaranteed by every druggist who
sella it. A large bottle costs but a
few cents, and if it fails to give easy
relief in every case of liver sluggish
ness and constipation, you have only
to ask for your money back.
Dodson's Liver Tone ia a pleasant
tasting, ' purely vegetnble remedy,
aarmleas to both children and adults.
