The mother cannot do‘better for
her children than to traiu them,
from Infancy, to regularity of the
bowels. Chronic constipation in
later life can be avoided if the child
learns early the need for a daily
evacuation of the poison stomach’
waste. $
There will, of course, be times-
when the little ones will become
constipated' and bilious. In hot
weather, especially, immediate at-
tention Is necessary, as much serious
Illness results from inactive bowels.
Salts, Cathartics, purgatives, and
Similar drastic Irritants are harsh
and violent and only hring tempo-
rary relief while disturbing the whole
system. A gentle, pleasant bowel
stimulant, like Dr. Caldwell’s Syrup
Pepsin lit far preferable. Syrup Pep-
sin contains no narcotic drug, being
composed of simple laxative herbs
combined with pepsin, and acts
gently, in a natural manner, on
stomach, bowels and livdr- By
thoroughly cleansing the bowels and
removing the foreign matter that ir-
ritates and Inflames the tissue, it
will quickly check the summer dlai-
rhoea that Is so weakening in its
effect.
Druggists sell Dr. Caldwell’s Syrup
Pepsin for fifty cents and one dol
lar a bottle,, the larger Bize being in-
tended for family use. A free trial
bottle, postpaid, can be obtained by
writing to Dr. W. B. Caldwell, 4 06

“Marry Alice? I’m afraid not, Mr.
Kendrick,"-and Mr: Seliew shook his
white head and dipped his pen In the
heavy brass install,
"You have said that before, sir." said
Jack Kendrick coolly, “bul so far, you
have never been able to give me a
good reason for your refusal.”
"Good reason? T don’t care for the
family connection, that's all,” said Al-
ice’s father blunty.
The youtig man -colored hotly."My
own father is quite as opposed lo it,"
he returned quietly. "Of course, I
know you are political enemies, but
my father said If it was a question
of nty future happiness he could swal-
low it.” ’
"Swallow it—meaning me, eh?”
chortled Mr. Seliew, whirling violent-
ly about in his chair. "You can tell
your father, my boy, that he doesn't
have to swalloW me or my family. He
could beat me out on that L. M. and
C. deal, but when it gets down to per-
sonal matters, I’ve got the controlling
vote in the Seliew family—under-
stand?’’
“You make It very plain, sir.”
"Then—then—you better take your
leave, young man, before my butler
sweeps you up and removes you In
the waste basket!" cried Mr. Seliew
violently.
“That’s very good advice, sir—I’ll
follow It,” said Jack, rising. "I’m
sorry that you and ray father feel the
way that you do about it—it's such,
an Inevitable fact—’
“What is an inevitable fact?”
snapped the financier, his hand on
the pushbutton.
“That love will win dut In the end,
because Alice and 1 do love each oth-
er, and It seems a pity that two old
men who have made money enough
to render them happy In that way
should stand In the path of our mak-
ing ourselves happy In our own way.
You can make It dleagreeable for us,
but In the end you'll have to give in,”
he said confidently, and before the red-
vlsaged man at the desk could utter a
word the luckless suitor took his de-
parture. j
Mr. Seliew pounded his desk fierce-
ly. “Love will win out against mou-

ey? Never!" he sputtered. "Why, I
married for money, and look at me!"
He saw his reflection in the oppo-
site mirror and his look of self-satis-
faction faded.
It was anything but a happy face
that confronted him. Jaded and worn,
with hard little lines running away
from mouth and eyes, his countenance
betrayed the strain under which he
had labored.
Jacob Seliew did not understand
himself. He had forgotten that he had
married for love btd. that money hap-
pened to come with it. He had a
daughter and he loved her, hut It waB
In such a hard, dry-as-dust sort of way
that he didn’t recognize the sentiment.
Money was his love—so he said.
There was no one except Alice, his
daughter, and himself to occupy the
handsome home. His wife, who had
never guessed she was an unloved
bride and who wouldn’t have believed
If be had told her so, had gone on be-
fore.
At last Mr. Seliew pushed the but-
ton. “Ask Miss Alice to come here,”
he said to the servant.
Alice came, tall and dark and slen-
der, with dusky hair and scarlet lips.
Her lovely eyes looked calmly at the
face of her perturbed parent.
“Jack has told me, father,” she
said at once. , .
"Impudent puppy!" stormed Jacob
Seliew.
“Please don’t, ' don’t get excited,
father dear;’’ Xemonstrated Alice.
"I’m sure Jack Isn’t any of the things
you want to eall |ilm. You know
he’s a de^i, only , jou and old Mr.
Kendrlcjf'- are sworn enemies—of
course, If you think stocks and bonds
and business rivalry ace more to be
considered than nfy happiness, why
discuss the matter?*
“Did you know d)d Kendrick says
be will swallow urf—me—understand,
Alice—if his son’s happiness is at
stake?? - /
Bhq nodded. “Jack told roW

to my'happiness." Her voice was
curiously like his own as she spoke.
“You mean that you will dope with
him?”
"Oh, no; some day you will give
your consent.”
’’Never!” declared Jacob as he
picked up his newspaper. "By the way,
Alice, you’ve invited a lot of people
down to Edgebank for the Fourth,
huven’t you?"
“Yes—and will you please order
Ihe fireworks, father? We want a
display for the evening after the big
dinner.”
"Very well, I’ll attend to it my-
self.”
It was the very night before the
Fourth when Jacob Seliew remem-
bered the fireworks. Hts duughter
and the servants had already gone
down to the country house, and he
was stopping at a hotel. There was
a new motor car to go down, too,
and he had decided to drive It him-
self as he was a skilled operator and
the roads were perfect.
He ordered the fireworks by tele-
phone and stopped for them with
the new car, for Alice liad Bent In an
urgent reminder of their need. A
few minutes afterward he went on
his way, the tonneau of the ear mid
every available inch of room In the
seat beside him being filled with
explosives.
Rockets and Romnn candles, red
and green fire, set-pieces and cannon
crackers made up the assortment.
Jacob Seliew made an auntiul sac-
rifice of gunpowder to show his
patriotism.
His trip across the ferry and along
the suburban roads was uneventful.
Tilings did not really begin to hap-
pen until he reached the turnpike and
speeded a little.
The new ear worked like a clock—
a well-oiled, smoothly running clock.

Sunday afternoon will be the last
game of the schp.dule and it win be
played at League , Park at Denison.
Napier wyi, work for the Cubs and
Peebles is reporied as billed to op-
pose hint in the box.
Tlte ltiieups for’the games are
strong and the fans are sure of a
hard contested game when they
attend any of this series. Sherman
Is several games ahead of the ag-
gregation from the Gate City but
they., are figuring on at least tak-
ing more games from them than
they did from the’league leaders,
Ardtpore, in the series just closed
at Denison.
Umpire Goeh'er, who is the fav-
orite ilmp^wlth ail the teams in the
'DO league, is booked for the con-
cluding series, between those two
teams. *■■■ / •
There is as yet nothing absolute-
ly, definite about the post-season se-
ries between Denison and Sherman
proposed for next week. But sev-
eral of the men for the Cubs have
The moon rose and made the road j arranged tp return home, report to
other clubs or go on a vacation as
white and clear. There were still five
miles between him and his home.
He decided to smoke. He forgot that
he carried a load of explosives.
He lighted a cigar and hummed a
little tune. Something went wrong
and the machine wabbled. It would
not respond to the steering wheel,
and just as he reached the curve of
the road that bordered Cyrus Ken-
drick’s estate the machine swung
into the well-traveled roudway and
entered the grounds of Jacob Stl-
lew’s bitter business enemy.
To describe Mr. Sellew’s anger
would be painful. He swore as he
tossed his cigar aside and Jammed
all the levers and turned the wheel
this way and that.
In his chagrin at the situation he
lost his nerve and sat helplessly as
the machine wabbled up the avenue,
freakishly turned aside to cross the
lawn, only to stagger to a standstill
in the midst of a rose garden In front
of the big house.
There were people sitting In the
veranda; and he based exclamation*
an da man’s shout.
Then the real performance began.
A rocket hissed from behind him and
shot horizontally across the park. It
burst Its flaming way through a
handsome spruce tree and left de-
struction in lta wake. Other rockets
shot forth in the faost Independent
manner. Fortunately most of them
were headed away from the house.
Roman candles pouted, red fire
blazed luridly and the cannon crack-
ers roared as they wrecked the new
automobile.
Jacob Seliew was on the ground,
dancing frantically around the dan-
gerous display, dodging rockets and
candles with surprising agility.
All at once came some stablemen
soon as the season closes. Also, no
reports has been made about the
game that was protested against
Denison in the series last week.
Yesterday in the game Catcher
Hornbuckle for Durant reached up
with his right, hand for a wild pitch
by Bird and. hurt his hand over
again. A sore was just getting well
and the lick yesterday re-ppened it.
Tie will probably be out for the Test
oT the season.

Seliew was standing by the singed JJ}"VwfitTthrt
and smoking machine waiting the if .1® nlneter mat
approach of his arch enemy.
What could he say?
Jack stood a little aside.
Cyrus Kendrick stamped across the
lawn and shook his flat in Mr.-
Sellew’s bewildered face.
“What do you mean, sir, by tres-
passing on my grounds and making
an exhibition like this—eh? Are
you crazy?”
For the first time In his career,
Mr. Seliew found himself making
humble apologies to Cyrus Kendrick.
He was deeply grateful when they
appeared to believe hlB story. He
could have embraced Cyrus Kendrick
when that gentleman told him to
“forget It,” and led him into the
library to partake of stimulants.
Truthfully speuking, Jack had
winked at bla parent. Otherwise
Cyrus might not have displayed this
forgiving spirit, for hlB garden was
as the apple of hia eye.
"Er, Jack,” remarked Jacob when
he was feeling better. “I wonder if
you would mind telephoning over to
Alice and asking her to drive over
after me?”
“I know a trick worth two of that,
sir,” said Jack promptly. ‘TJI take
you home myself.” ’*s“-
“That suits me. Jack—and you
needn’t hurry home, you know,” he
said genially.
“I knew something would happen
to change him—It always does when
love’s at the bottom of things!” cried
Jack triumphantly as he raced toward
Edgebank after bis sweetheart.
But nowadays, with his grandchil-
dren around him, Jacob Seliew has
becqnje an apostle of the safe and
sane way of celebrating the Fourth.

The only original Wilson demo-

supported Wilson and the Progres-
sive democracy before the primaries
in May.
The only candidate who has been
endorsed by a county democratic
convention: The unanimous choice
of the Hunt County convention.
The candidate of the Progressives
of the 4th District.
The progressive democrats rally-
ing around’ Gibson because they
cannot afford to take a backstep af-
ter having won on May 4th, and at
Houston and at Baltimore. They
cannot afford to elect a man to
congress who is and hag been out
of harmony with Wilson who is to
be president.
They do not fnteha-4o be laughed
at for not knowing how to use #helf
success. — — — * ■ -*•’ ’
They do not Intend to embarrass
Wilson by electng to congress one
who will oppose his policies. They
do not Intend to contribute in this
way to the further defeat, of the
party.
None but a Wilson progressive
will be put on guard by the Wilson
democrats and no Original Wilson
candidate but Gibson has a show of
election.
The progressives know how to vote
for their principles and’ will make
no mistake. They will vote for Gib-
