Holcomb CALOMEL LOSING OUTJN SOUTH Mr. Dodson, the "Liver ( Tone" Man, Responsible for Change for the Better. SILKY WONDERS WHAT RED FOX W ILL. LOOK LIKE. "I should say that is rather strange, said Tinker .Bob, "to think you have not seen young Red Fox! He usually makes himself known if he's about." Tinker Bob, King of the Forst, was speaking to Silky the funny Monkey. Silky had been hearing stories . from Jack, the Rabbit, about Red Fox," but had never seen him. "What kind of a looking fellow is he?" asked Silky "Does he look like a snake? Jack, the Rab bit, said he had long teeth and they were very sharp. A snake has long teeth." ., . "O you silly creature, . the idea of ' voung Red Fox looking like a snake-" . He is a handsome fellov and his hair is red," said the King. "He is handsome," repeated Silky, "and his hair is red." The Curious Mon key was trying to picture in his own mind just. what kind of a looking crea ture Red Fox was "Oh. if he is hand some and has red hear ho must look like Long Horns, the Deer." '"You are the most curious fellow I ever knew Silky." said Tinker Bob. "Why Long Horns, the Deer, is big enough to make a dozen creatures like Red Fox. You don't seem to under stand that he is a little . fellow." Silky scratched his head and sat in silence. It was very hard for him to keep from trying to imagine what kind of a looking fellow Red Fox was. "Well, if he is a little fellow and has . long teeth an'd red hair and is handsome he must look like Rufus.Vhe Tree Mouse." The King of the Forest laughed and laughed 'to hear the funny things Silky said about the fellow he wanted so badly to 'see. "No, no,'55 said Tinker Bob. "He is such a wirey fellow that if he could catch Jack, the Rabbit, "away from the Briar Patch he would scratch all of the fur from his back- You don't seem to understand that Red Fox is a foxy fellow." "Wei, well, I can't understand what kind of a looking forest creature this strange fellow is," said Silky, as he scratched his head with his other hand. "If he is able to scratch the fur all off from Jack, th.e Rabbit's, back he "Does he look like a snake?" must be like the Mountain Lion of the Southland. "No, no he is not jike the Mountain Lion. He can run much' faster and he never roars. He' is such a fast run ner that Jack, the Rabbit cannot get out of his way unless he is close to the brier patch." Tinker Bob could not see why Silky knew so little regarding Red Fox. , Suddenly there ( came to his ears the screaming of Jerry, the Jay Bird. Some thing must be wrong! Maybe Jerry was in troubled Maybe he was fighting with Jenny Wren! . Or, maybe he had spied Red Fox? Silky started on the run toward the place from whence' came the sbund. Tinker Bob followed, and what do you suppose he saw? Next Pell Mell Into the Brier Patch. . . - TRUSTEES LOOK INTO CONDITIONS ON HILL Every druggist in town has 'noticed a great falling off in the sale of calomel. They all give the same reason. Dod son's Liver Tone is taking its place. "Calomel is dangerous and people know it'i" Dodson's Liver Tone is per Bonally guaranteed by every druggist who sells it. A large bottle doesn't cost very much but if it fails to give easy relief in every case of .liver slug gishness and constipation, just ask for your money back. ,'Dodson's Liver Tone is a pleasant taf ting, purely vegetable remedy, harm less to both children and adults."" Take a spoonful at night and wake up feel ing, fine; no biliousness, sick headache.-, acid stomach or constipated bowels. It doesn't gripe or cause inconvenience all the next day like violent calomel. Take a Hose of calomel today and to morrow you will feel weak, sick and nauseated. Don't lose a day.

RUSH, Manager TELEPHONE 1530 FERN'S PLANS. : Late that night the two girls were still talking about their various affairs. So many events had, been crowded into sucha short space .of timf that they had scarcely had time to , catch their breath. . "It just seems impossible that Fed-ya loves me," said Fern, "specially when I remember how he used to shrug at me, and tell me that I was a very pretty butterfly. Now that the butterfly's wings have been signed, it seems, she is more to his liking. Men1 are fu.nny things." "They are that," answered Gwenda, her thoughts far aw.ay with John Neale and his adventures in Paris. " I never expect to understand them, never. Of course -I'm not in love like you, Fern, and I don't think I ever shall be," rather sadly. "But men do interest me, just as human beings, you know." "Fedya. told me-tnight that he had loved fe from the moment I ea?ne to see him in the hospital, and had such a sa3 expression in my eyes,' continued Fern. "He says that my suffering has made a woman of me. Poor little us, we all have to become women through the hurts of our hearts, eh?" "Will you be married soon?" , asked Gwenda. "I do hope it will be before I sail for points east, my dtar." "Ill see to it that we have a wee ding before you leave, and wont it e just wonderful Gwenny, to have it right here in the old studio,: where so many things have happened? All our friends, and banks of flowers everywhere, just lifke an honest to sroodness affair. And maybe sme of the boys will bring theii" ukeleles to act as orchestra. Dear me, Im so excited at the thought of' it all. And when I'm Mrs. Stepanoff we'll have a wonderful iisr apartment and en tertain to death. 'That is, when Fedya and I are not painting, of course. He says that he wants me to pose for him a lot and so I suppose that my art will suffer while I act as model. Matri mony is made up of sacrifices, I know, and after all, Fedya loves me, and Is willing to do everything that I want, so I must do my bit, too." "We'll plan the wedding dress to morrow. Fern, and then you and I will make every bit of it by hand. Won't "And we'll have yo"ur father and i mother down for .the ceremony, and my sister from the west, and everyone will be happy. My. how glad they all will be to have one of us safely tied up, won't they, GNvenny?" "I expect so," said Gwenda. "I know that mother's just aching to pin an orange wreath oh me., and have me come back to the old home and roost. And the funny part of it all is that I don't seem to have such a horror of doine: that very thing any. more. I'm more sensible about my surroundings than I used to be. Maybe it's becausel I've lived some, and had a chance to stretch my wings alone and unaided. After all it's not the place as much as what vou take to that place which makes-one happy or otherwise," she fin- Ishprt rpfleotivelv ' , , "That's true.
