A Personal Appeal.
If we could talk to you personally
about the great merit of Foley's
Honey and Tar for coughs colds and
lung trouble you never could be in-
duced to experiment .with unknown
preparations that may contain some
harmful drugs. Foley's Honey and
Tar costs you no more and has a rec-
ord of forty years of cures.
Women In England.
In the seventeenth century when
Englishwomen were still recognized as
possessing an economic and political
status side by side with Englishmen
there was written an interesting enf-y
ln the church warden's accounts of St.
Martiii's-Sn-the-FieldS. proving thnt one
Elizabeth Bartlctt was intrusted with
the casting of the second bell and that
all the women employed thus were
paid at the same rate as men for the
same work. Another instance Is to be
found In the records of the Fleet pris-
on of which the first female warden
appointed In 1217 on the death of her
husband Robert received the same sal-
ary "as the said Robert had been ac-
customed to during his life." Then
was no talk then of confining the wo-
man's sphere to work that was paid
badly.
Quieting Him Down.
A farmer sued a cattle d:jaler f.r
damages in the local county court.
"When I bought the bull" said t'.u-
complainant "he told me it was
tie and perfectly harmless a eliii-i
could play with it. In fact. Half an
hour after I got the animal home U:-
disabled a couple of my farm har..N
and then turned on me."
"Perhaps the animal was excitud l..
his strange surroundings." sflgge:-. u
his honor. "Is he quiet enough nm. . "
"Well yes; but you see"
"Ah" remarked the defendant "the.i
my description "was correct after :dl.
I said if he did get excited at first he
would quiet down."
"Yes" responded the plaintiff grim-
ly "but you didn't tell me I should
have to shoot the beggar to quiet him
down. That's what I bad to do!"
