Next season's styles almost sure-
ly promise long and tight fitting

The style of hats to match the

trasting color to harmonize is the
latest thing from Paris.
A new buttoned oxford has come
in rather late, to be worn with the
lingerie dresses, and colored stock-
ings are fashionable with it.
A favorite color just now is a de-
licious shade of apricot, which
blends admirably with the fashion-
able black hat of immense dimen-
sions.
The high girdle of fancy Parisian

"Father said yon was to fill this,"
said the little fellow, handing over
a half -gallon can.
It was duly filled, and handed
over.
"Father will pay you on Satur-

And then the face of the shop -

"We don't give credit here," he
said• "Gimme back the can I"
Meekly the little lad handed back
the can, which was emptied, and

fir. Blinkey Not Worrying Over It,
but All Ready for It,
Like many another man, Mr.
Blinkey is always hoping that some-
thing will turn up. Saes an inted,-
gent man and he knows perfectly
well that there isn't one chance in
iseven hundred and eighteen thou-
, sand million billion that he'll ever
get a dollar that he doesn't work
for and earn; and still he's always
hoping and thinking that something
might happen.
And so when he gets to the office
in the morning ho looks in the let-

expectation of finding a fortune,
but nevertheless thinking that there
might be something; not disap-

that he might find there a check for

Although the tramp had seen a

never have said what he did to Miss
Cornelia Hawkins. When she said
that she would give him a good din-
ner if he would saw and split wood
enough to pay for it, he attempted
to appeal to her sympathy.
"Madam," he replied sadly, "I'd
be glad to saw and split the wood,
I'd be glad to do anything, but I'm
not physically strong. I have a
weak heart, madam, and I have to
look out for it. You see, I carry
my life in my hands, as it were,"
he said, with what was meant for a
wan, pathetic smile.
"Indeed !" and Miss Hawkins
gave an incredulous sniff as she
glanced at the palms outstretched
for aid; "I suppose that's the rea-

SAVE THE CHILDREN.
Mothers who keep a box of
Baby's Own Tablets in the house
may feel that the lives of their lit-
tle ones are reasonably safe during
the hot weather months. Stomach
troubles, cholera infantum and diar-
rhoea carry off thousands of little
ones every summer, in most cases
because the mother does not have
a safe medicine at hand to give
promptly. Baby's Own Tablets euro
these troubles, or if given occasion-
ally to the well child will prevent
the trouble coming on. And the
mother has the guarantee of a gov-
ernment analyst that the Tablets
contain no opiate or harmful drug.
Mrs. Geo. Mineault, Jr.,- Mont
Louis,uo., says :—"Before giving
Baby's Own Tablets to my little one
she suffered greatly from colic and
stomach troubles, and cried a great
deal. The Tablets soon cured her
and she is now a plump, healthy
child who does not look as though
she ever had an hour's illness."
You can get the Tablets from any
dealer in medicine or by mail at 25
cents a box from the Dr. Williams'

area, and to average a mile and a
half in thickness. According to
these statistics, the lump of ice is
larger in volume than the whole
