Of course, a rainy day, now an4 again, is nothing to be tragic about. That is, when it is on a day just like any other day. You may even enjoy it, remembering, comfort- ably, bow much yours and everybody elee's garden needs a, drink. But whefl it rains on the day of the first village picnic (with all the "fixings") you have ever beezt invited to in all your careful, supervised, city life, you may be pardoned, I think, for not being exactly teeny about it. Bnt, now that the excuses are made, prepare for a surprise. For, although the Loringe had been brought up in the city—so far—it was by good country parents, who were perfectly used to all kinds of weather. Elot• In spite of the children'e dimePOtment, nobody whined. Nobody whimpered. Nobody even 'hinted that Prqbably the sun would never shine again. • On .the Contrary, Lincoln., who guessed rightly tlapt Graham's inner ey.e was on the shining new bicycle in the Shed, whichwas to have had its that long trip to -day, even pretended that he thought the sun would be out ;by noon. Graham, who knew how much Lincoln had been looking 'for- ward to trying his Bkill with the other Wsin relay races and ball games, - pretended that he thought they could bave pretty nearly as much fun prac- ticing high 3umps in. the Ithyrawth And both the boys, with the extra tender- ness leig brothers are wont to reserve for a small eider, presented to Chloe that the at pony she had been going ±0 ride to Oak Grove would become so restive and high-spirited from a day in the stall that, by foonorrow, he would be curveting end arch -necked, like a drone horse, and they would take him out into the field and hold him and let her do tricks on his broad back in her moccas.

Not one of these hundred, promises has ever been kept—which is sufficiently indicated by the fact that all the treaties cover, practically the same points. Every time the European powers saved Turkey from desreemlberment, the reigning sultan in his gratitude, solemnly promised that he would grant his 'Christian subjects in European Turkey liberty and equality . before the law with Moslems, After France and Eng - at athe tremendous cost of the 'Crimean war, had saved the Turks 'from the Russians, the sultan issued the famous Reatihumatoun of Febrile ary 18, 1856, in which he swore by the bears of the prophet to give Christ- ians fully equality'.

No GINGER Make the Bloopdilir and. Red by Using Dr. Williams' Pink Thin -blooded people generally fave ,stomach trouble. They seldom recog- nize the fact that thin fblood is the cause o! indigestion, but it is. Thin blood, weak, watery blood, is one- of the moot common causes of stomach troubles. The glands that furnish the digestive fluidare diminished In their' activity, the etomach muscles are -weakened and ,there is a• loss of nerve force .

ParkS to as: "Well, now that the paper is out, I suppose you can take it easy for two or three days?" Yes, how delightful it is that a country editor has nothing to do between press days. Business runs along an- • tomatically. When paper bills come duo money drops off the trees with which to pay them. Subscribers vie with meek other to see who can pay the farthest in advance. Advertisers beg for additional space. And the way the news Mate up the edition IS also pleasant to contemplate. There is something strange about the way the news items act, When the paper ie out the editor simply goes back to his easy chair and looks wise and waits for next week's Preas day. *rue. day before press day the people line up in front of the office door and they file met the desk and tell him all the news of the week. He writes it up hi fifteen or twenty minutes, takes back and hangs on a hook. The compoeitore take the copy and eliakes it over the type caees, say a few mystic words, the type flies into plate, and after a fevr passes by the foreman the forms are ready for the prep again. And the editor goes down and deposite some more money in the Lank. It is the greatest snap in the eatalogue. Now if the editor eould only do away with press day kis job would be tomplete.
