The chick is ready to come out of

life, therefore it needs but little air,
which accounts for the small space

The well-informed shopper always has the advantage when
it comes to stretching the dollar. And you can't possibly

practice of reading the advertisements.

And remember chat nationally advertised articles are stand-
ard. You can depend on them. A manufacturer doesn t
spend millions of dollars advertising something that is ret

The question has been asked—In
what way are Chamberlain’s Tablets
superior to the ordinary cathartic •
and liver pills? Our answer is, I
they are easier and more pleasant
to take and their effect Is so gentle
that one hardly realizes that it is
produced by a medicine. Then, they
not only move the bowels but im-
prove the appetite and strengthen
the digestion. 18t4,

Occasionally, however, their con-

But they are going to wake up and

They will yank the old world from

Hitherto they have been shaping a
brilliant course, not quite matured yet,

wept over them, prayed for them, and

There is, however, no declaration on

The months nnd years strotch ahead
in long rows on either side of tomor-

Why should they bother themselves
while youth is so full of delightful ex-

They are not seeking the dull, com-
mon toads in life, but the magnificent
avenues that take direct to fame and
wealth in the glare of sunlight and

world, swept suddenly off its feet by
the daring work of genius.
So the years drift by, and in their
drifting there comes sometimes to
these disciples of the god of futurists

at heart.
With an odd mixture of humility nnd
pride stirring in tlielr ill-arranged
brain they' are prompted to exertion.
But they have unconsciously lost the

Chamberlain’s Cough Remedy Sias
remarkable record. It has been in
use for colds, croup and whooping
cough for almost half a century and
has constantly grown in favorr and
popularity as its good qualities be-
came better known. It is the stan-
dard and main reliance for these
diseases in thousands of homes. The
facts that it can always be depended

ZXNCE upon a time there lived an
Old ’Gnome, who culled himself
the King of the Gnomes because of his
age. I"
by stealing into the homes of the hard-
working Gnomes, when they were
away and taking what he could find.
One day, as he came up from the
underground home of the Gnomes, ho
happened to sit down under a violet
leaf at the very time one of the Fairies
was resting in the violet blossom.
The little Fairy was on her way
home from some work she had done
for her Queeu and stopped to rest,
and fell asleep in the pretty violet.
She dropped her magic wand on tlie
ground and It was the wand Hint the
Old Gnome saw first.
“Ah, there must be a Fairy about,"
said he. “I will creep out and look
around.”
Of course, he at once espied tlie
J.-retty Fairy asleep and he decided to
Unless you appreciate that it rake a
long time and costs lot of money to edu
cate one hundred million people to asso-
ciate your trade mark with a definite
standard of quality—
carry her off and hide her in his cave
In a roek and make her his w^fe.
He knew full well that without her
wand she could do nothing, and the
wise Old Gnome picked that up and
put it inside his coat before he took
the sleeping Fairy from the violet.
Then clasping her in his arms, off he
ran like the -wind and when the Fairy
opened her eyes she was in the cave
Gnome. “You must become my wife,
for 1 have your wand nnd you cannoi
escape.
" I ilh your wand you can do many
things and I wish you to make this
place a palace, such as a King should
live in and coiiunami all things whicl
I wish to be done.”
The little Fairy knew it was uselesr
to refuse or make any outcry, for sin
knew that tlie Oi l Gnome had her li
his power just as long as he had her
wand, though for him It would no’
yield its magic power.
“Very well." said the little Fairy
meekly. “I will become your wife, bin
if we are to wed, why not have the
wedding in the palace we are to live
in and lie married as befits your Ma-
jesty’s station.”
This fluttered the Old Gnome so
much that he decided he would like to
be dressed in rich ami royal robes for
■ the wedding. So he gave the wand to
! the Fairy and told her to change Ills
■ ragged brown clothes to velvet and
gold.
As soon as the Fairy had the wand
she waved it three times over the Old
Gnome, repeating some magic words
that only fairies know, hut instead of
the velvet and gold suit there appeared
the shell of a turtle nnd the Gnome
was no longer there. lie had disap-
peared and a heavy-shelled turtle
slowly crawled away.
Opt of tlie cave fluttered the little
Fairy and hurried to her Queen, to
whom she told what had happened.
“I was so sorry to use my power thnt
way,” she said, "but 1 could think of
no other way to escape from the Old
Gnome, and ns turtles live to a very
groat old age I changed him into that
shape.
So if you happen to find an ohl tur-
tle some day and ore told by some
one who can tell tlie age of one thnt
It is perhaps one hundred years old,
It may be that oni e it was the Old
Gnome, who called himself the King
of the Gnomes, nnd carried off tlie
Fairy to Ills eave and was changed
into a turtle for ills wicked deed.

"thoughts” since it was so-called from
the French pensee, “thought.” The
flower is a species of violet, as its
velvety purple petals are mute wit-
ness, but it is frequently called hearts-
ease and is supposed to liave cardiac
qualities.
The lucky possessor of the name of
Pansy may be called by many other
names. “None-so-pretty” is an Eng-
lish interpretation, which later be-
came “Nancy-pretty.” “Love in idle-
ness” nnd “kiss me at the garden
gate” are other titles for the modest
little flower which Is the namesake
of many a pretty American miss.
The vogue for flower names, which
originated in the ultra romantic era
of literature, bids fair to he immortal.
Though Rose and Violet and Lily had
their origin in a dim but gloriously
Bk/ sentimental past. Pansy is of more re-
cent growth. History records no fa-
mous lady who bore the name and it
must be assumed (regretfully. It Is
true), that the flower-nnmed women
are not “the stuff thnt heroines are
made of."
