VEY JL bpnng SodaZ and AN ANCIENT JAG. Once on a time," so the story is told, When the man in tho moon was not very old, He became ambitious to travel around And seek such pleasures as might b found By an up-to-ate, wideawake man. Said he: "I'm tired of staying at home; Around through space I propose to roam ; I'll not return until after dark, I'll have a genuine, Jolly old lark, Paint all the stars red, if I can." So he started off for a tour through space At what might be called a rather swift pace; For he freely imbibed at all the bars Which flourish up there among the stars With results somewhat sad to re late. His head began to ache and swell, From his pale lips came a discordant yell; Measure and pain were strangely blended And so the first "drunk"' in history ended, Giving cause for an endless debate. Old Jupiter gave him just thirty days To stay in the cooler and mend his ways; I Uut through some friend, who. had a ; "pull" ! The man in the moon again got ; - -'fuir- ; ! llcfore he had served his time. May Howard Mones. NEVER. "Never" Is a word which is wrongly defined in the dictionary. In the book we gather the . under standing that never means not at all forevennore. Cut Each day in our broad land young women vow that they will never for give young men. Men lift their right hands to high heaven and swear that they will never take another drink. Husbands promise never to forget to write every day. Wives- promise never to make anoth er extravagant and foolish purchase. Candidates aver that they will nev er run for office again. Women say they will never speak to some one any more. Small boys say they never will eat green apples again. In all these cases "never" means any length of time from one hour to four days. Life. 'SQUIRE WOLFE HAS A BIRTHDAY. " 'Squire C. H.

C, and Mrs. Henry Lee Fox. An exten sive guest list, including the married element of society with many young ladies, called during the reception hours. The spirit of St. Valentine made beautiful the decorations of the home rows of crimson hearts fell in cbatelaine effect upon curtains and draperies and formed portieres at the arched doorway. Crimson tapers burn ed In dozens of candelabra and the incandescent . lamp wore butterfly cover of the same shade. The host ess anl honoreea received in the drawing room Mrs. Rion, costumed In black point d'sprit over rose satin and wearing a corsage bouquet of orchids; Mrs. Finlayson, standing next, wore becomingly a clinging gown of black crepe with, silver bands and carried a veritable armful of white narcissus; Mrs. Fox, the charm of whose personality is still dear to many friends in thi3 commu nity, wore a goun of black velvet and rnrried a round bouquet of violets. The ladies of the Book Club assisted In the afternoon's entertaining. The dining room cas artistically arrang ed and was decorated with faultless taste Above the round table circled and swung a cloud of Cupids with silver-tipped arrows and the center ornament was a beautiful "love ship." A musical program or rare charm, corbining daintily-selected airs from recent operatic successes was given. Mrs. Finlayson will return home the latter part of the week. Personal MRS. PEGRAM'8 TRIP.

Mr. Robert Haven Schauffier visited the Mount Washington Branch of the Carnegie Library of Pittsburgh several times in December. He is gathering material for a series of articles on pc turesque America and has decided to begin with Pittsburgh. To show his appreciation of the work of the branch he wrote and dedicated to it the fol lowing poem, inspired by the view of the city from the hill at night when the mills on the rver bank below are ablaze with light and the blast-furnaces are in their glory. To a Pittsburgh Library. "From your smoky river-height Radiate both warmth and light; Warmth of understanding hearts. Light of learning and the arts; Beckoning the 'scum of earth' To a day of second birth.. As the furnace-flare below Glorifies the murky flow Of Monongahela's stream, So you light the shadowed faces Of these folk of sadder races, Luring them to learn and dream." James Oliver Curwood is the only American employed as an explanatory writer by the Canadian government. "Phiilip Steele" is a story of the Ca nadian wilderness. The reference work at the library during the past week ranged all the way from requests for assistance In spelling a dfScult word to demands for material on art and political econ omy. Among the subpects were, ini tiative and referendum, government ownership of railroads, municipal im provement, parcels post, Jenny Lind, Dickens, Indians of North America, Arnold Bennett. Friday was one of the busiest days of the week. One hundred and ninety three books were issued for home use, and 53 people visited the reading room. The issue of juvenile books for home use was larger than any day for two years. Samuel Hopkins Adams is a mem ber of the United States Sanitary Commission. When not writing books like Average Jones," he writes spe cial artcles about pure food and drugs. "Average Jones" is one of the new acessions at the library. The books added to the library last week are: Where half the world is waking up, by Charles Poe, Average Jones, by Samuel Hopkins Adams, Marcia of the little home, by Emily Calvin Blake; World of Dreams, by Havelock Ellis; North Carolina Year Book for 1912, He Comes Up Smiling, by James Sherman; Charles Dickens, by Belle Moses; Pollyooly, by Edgar Jepson. "Creative evolution," by the French (philosopher, Henr Bergson s among the recent addtons to the lbrary. It is a brilliant and eradiate study of the true meaning of the evolutionary movement. The author maintains that theory of knowledge and theory of life cannot be separated and thinks that acting together they may solve the problems posited by philosophy. He formulates an impersonal conscious ness as the power behind evolution, conceiving Dety to be "unceasing life, action, freedom." His criticism is negatively constructive in his oppo sition to the . physico-chemical explan ation of life, and elsewhere positively and optimistcally constructve. It is one of the most important books in its field that has appeared in twenty years. SIMPLE HOME REMEDIES have proven to be not only safer, but far more effective than any combina tion of drugs. Nearly forty years ago 14ie now famous Lydia E. Plnkham's Vegetable Compound was a simple home reme dy made by the woman whose name it bears, on her kitchen stove, from the roots and herbs of the field, and supplied to friends and neighbors with out cost. The wonderful success of Lydia E. PInkham's Vegetable Compound in alleviating the suffering of woman kind, has made it known in every home In our land, and now recognized the world over as the standard rem edy for female ills.

Exchange. Mrs. Alice Longworth has invent ed a new fashion in the way of cut glass heels on her shoes. The new mode is pretty, no doubt, but it does seem that, considering she is Col. Roosevelt's married daughter, she, should have something better than glass heels clattering around her house. Dallas (Texas) News. Blasphemy is the result of a third rate mind undertaking a first-rate subject. It is degradation of a lofty theme. It does not point so much to a moral as to an imaginative defici ency in the author. The worse blas phemies are perpetrated by men of irreproachable character; ; but their intelligence is limited. They are the fools who rush in London Saturday Review. PLANNING FOR BIG DANCE.

Because, After Doct or's Medicines And Every thing Else Had Failed, the Woman's Tonic Brought Long-Sought Relief. Copper Hill. Va. "I must thank you," writes Mrs. Ida Conner, of this place, "because you have done so much for me. Cardui is a wonderful medicine, and it's a pleasure to write about the ben efit received from its use. Many years i had to stay in bed sick with ,bearine-down pains and pain in my side. I had given up all hopes of ever get ting well, because doctors' medicines which I took at different times, gave me no relief, nor anything else that anybody told me to try. Finally, I began to take Cardui, the woman's tonic, three- times a day. After a few doses, the pain in my side grew less, then quit, and it hasn't come back since. I feel like a new person now, and cannot help but recommend such a good medicine." There is no reason why any woman should suffer from pain such as Mrs. Conner describes. Cardui is a remedy for just such con ditions. Thousands of women have found relief in its use. You will find relief, too. Don't give up! Give Cardui one more chance. Take Cardui. N. B.
