SAME AS IN LIFE.
In discussing the bullying,
warlike nature of the German
kaiser not long ago, Vice Presi-
dent Marshall predicted that he
will be thought of by future gen-
erations as was a certain other
Bill by his widow. A neighbor
said to her, according to Mr.
Marshall: “So Bill’s dead?”
“Yes, he’s dead.”
“I suppose he’s hitting the
harp with the angels now.”
“Most likely,” said the widow,
who had not forgotten Bill’s
ways, “he’s hitting the angel
with the harp.”

HER SOCIAL EAR WAS CLOSED.
The minister knocked at the
door. There were sounds of swift
footsteps and splashing water,
as though waShtubs were being
cleared away. Thinking he had
not been heard, he knocked loud-
Faster went the footsteps,
and there was noise as of moving
chairs and tables. Waiting a
reasonable length of time, he
again knocked vigorously.
In a few minutes a smiling
woman came up to the door and
exclaimed: “Oh, I’m so glad to
see you, but you must excuse me.
I did not hear you the first two
times you knocked.

WHAT IS*
LAX-FOS
LAX-FOS IS AN IMPROVED CASCARA
A Digestive Laxative
CATHARTIC AND LIVER TONIC
Lax-Fos is not a Secret or Patent Medi-
cine but is composed of the following
old-fashioned roots and herbs:
CASCARA BARK
BLUE FLAG ROOT
RHUBARB ROOT
BLACK ROOT
MAY APPLE ROOT
SENNA LEAVES
AND PEPSIN
In Lax-Fos the Cascara is improved by
the addition of these digestive ingredi-
ents making it better than ordinary Cas-
cara, and thus the combination acts not
only as a stimulating laxative and cathar-
tic but also as a digestive and liver tonic.
Syrup laxatives are weak, but Lax-Fos
combines strength with palatable, aro-
matic taste and does not gripe or disturb
the stomach. One bottle will prove
Lax-Fos is invaluable for Constipation,
Indigestion or Torpid Liver. Price 50c.

THE TRUSTFUL BURGLAR.
Carefully the burglar effected
an entrance into the bank. He
found the way to the strong room.
When the light from his lantern
fell on the door he saw the sign:
“Save your dynamite. This
safe is9 not locked. Turn the
knob and open.”
For a moment he ruminated.
“Anyhow, there is no harm in
trying, if it is really unlocked. ’
He grasped the knob and turn-
ed. Instantly the office was flood-
ed with light, an alarm bell rang
loudly, an electric shock rendered
him helpless, while a door in the
wall opened and a bulldog rushec
out and seized him.
“I know what’s wrong with
me,” he sighed an hour later,
when the cell door closed upon
him. “I’ve too much faith in
human nature—I’mtootrusting.”

THE WRONG BIRD.
The irascible old gentleman
had ordered a chicken, but when
he got it he wasn’t satisfied—
some people never are.
Waiter,” he yelled, “bring
me a charge of dynamite and a
latchet and an extra double
steam power coke hammer! This
chicken’s got to be carved, even
if made of dreadnaught steel.”
The waiter was desolate. ‘ ‘Very
sorry, sir,” he said, “but that
always was a peculiar bird. It
even objected to being killed,
though we always do everything
with the greatest of kindness.
But this bird, sir, actually flew
away and we had to shoot it, sir
—yes, shoot it—it flew on the
top of the house and—”
“Say no more,” said the old
gentleman. “I see it all now.
You shot at it and brought down
the weathercock by mistake.
John, my friend, all is forgiven.”

Prove her to be a patriot.
Upon each one there is a flag,
Red, white and blue—the latest gag
Of fickle style
And for a mile
The slackers gaze at Anna’s shin.
Recruiting service she is in.
The flag upon the court house tower
May float unnoticed by the hour;
The solemn solons may be wise,
But Ann knows how to advertise.
