ALMOST TOO QUICK
NEW BOY ASTONISHES PESSI-
| MISTIC OLD MAID.
* For Once Susan Myers Had to Ac-
knowledge That Modern Young-
ster Might Really Be
“Worth His Salt.”
It was very difficult for Susan
Myers to keep a boy. She was an
active little woman who lived on a
email New England farm, managed
it herself, and hired a hoy from the
village to come in and do the smal
chores immediately round the house.
Many boys had she hired, hut one
and all they reported that Miss Myers
“wore ’em out” by the multiplier y
of her demands. As for Miss Myers,
her own frequently expressed opin-
ion was that boys were “too lazy to
live,” anyway, and that a boy w o
was worth his salt- had not jet een
invented.
But the time came when Miss
Myers met her match in Johnny
Briggs, who appeared one morning
and offered his services.
“Well,” said Miss Myers,' "I sup-
pose there’s no help for it. I nin t
much confidence in ye, but let s see
how fast ye can get up to the store
and buy me a spool o’ black cotton.
“Yes’m,” replied Johnny, briefly.
He went round the corner of the
house whistling, exactly like any
other boy. But Johnny was not ex-
actly like any other boy. He had
Napoleonic qualities—and an old bi-
cycle, which he had left behind the
woodshed. Half an hour before Miss
Myers had expected him, he was back
with the spool of cotton.
“Here’s jrer cotton, Miss Myers,’
said Johnnj' cheerfully. “I like to do
a thing right up quick and have it
over. What’ll I do next?”
He had got buck so soon that Miss
Myers was hardly ready with the next
commission.
“Sweep off the porch,” she said
tersely.
Johnny Briggs leaped at the broom.
Never was a porch swept more quick-
ly. He was back in the kitchen.
“Done th’ porch, Miss Myers,” said
Johnny. “What’ll I do next? What
I like is to do a thing quick and—”
“Take this pail,” interrupted tuiss
Myers, “and run down to the berry
pasture and git me a pail of blueber-
ries for dinner.”
Johnny seized the pail, picked up
his bicycle behind the woodshed, and
was off to the berry pasture. Miss
Myers continued her work in the
kitchen. She had given him a job
that would last a while this time, she
told herself, for the berry pasture
was nearly a mile away. But she
had hardly begun cooking dinner for
herself and men whom she had work-
ing on the farm when the door
opened, and a freckle-faced boy ap-
peared with a brimming pail of ber-
ries.
“Here’s yer blueberries, ma’am,”
announced Johnny, calmly. “What I
like is to do a thing quick, and have
it—”
Susan Myers turned from the oten,
where she- was examining the bis-
cuits.
“Johnny Briggs,” she said, severe-
ly, “you set that pail down in the
sink, and set yerself in that chair,
f And you set there till I’ve got the
dinner. Ye’re a good boy, but I’d
like t.o see ye doin’ something that
Hi ye can’t do so quick and have it
over, jest to make certain that I ain’t
goin’ crazy.”—Youth’s Companion.
Advantage of Location.
“Waiter,” grumbled a customer, “I
should like to know the meaning of
this. Yesterday I was served with a
portion of pudding twice this size.”
“Indeed, sir!” rejoined the waiter.
“Where did you sit?’
"By the window.”
, “Oh, that accounts for it. We al-
ways give people by the window large
portions. It’s an advertisement.”
Mine Schools.
A most commendable movement in
the authracite region of northwestern
Pennsylvania, says the Scientific
American, is the introduction of mine
schools. In former days, the English-
speaking and Teutonic races, skilled
in mining, predominated in this dis-
trict, but today work is done by a
class of Europeans whose traditions
and experience have nothing to do
with mines. Several of the mining
companies have established schools
for the benefit of these employes, one
of the first of which was that es-
tablished by the Philadelphia & Read-
ing Coal & Iron company. Here, in
attendance, are found the apprentices
and journeymen employed in the
shops, and the mine workers. The
course, which includes mathematics
and drawing, has special reference to
the particular class of work in which
the employes are engaged.

PAST HELP
SHE THOUGHT
Hopeless Condition of One Oklaho-
ma Lady, Who Tells How
Cardui Brought Back
Her Health and
Strength.
Chandler, Okla.—“I hardly know,”
writes Mrs. Ella Flowers, of this place,
“how to thank you for the good that
Cardui has done me. When I first
wrote, I thought I was past help, but
Cardui relieved me at once. I gained
at least 10 pounds, and 1 everybody
says I look so much better. I am still
improving greatly. I owe you sin-
cere thanks for your Cardui.”
There are many women, completely
worn-out and discouraged, on account
of some form of womanly illness. Are
you? Have you tried Cardui? If not,
Why? - I,;-:,;i,
Thousands have written to tell of
the wonderful benefit Qardui has been
to them. Cardui has a record of over
half a century, as a successful remedy
for women. During this time, over a
million women have found relief in
Cardui. Why not you?
As a general female tonic, to build
up your strength, and bring back rosy
cheeks, nothing you can find, will
do so much for you, as Cardui, the
woman’s tonic.
A trial will convince you that Car-
dui is just what you need.

The Retort Courteous.*
“Now,” said the suffragette orator,
sweeping the audience with her eagle
eye, “I see Mr. Dobbs sitting down
there in the third row—a man who
has condescended to come here to-
night and listen to our arguments. He
has heard -what I have had to say,
and I think we should like to hear
from him, and get a man’s view of our
cause. Mr. Dobbs, tell us what you
thinks of the suffragettes.”
“Oh, I c-c-couldn’t m-m-ma’am,”
stammered Dobbs. “I rur-really c-
couldn’t. Thu-there are 1-1-lul-ladies
pup-present.”—Harper’s Weekly.
WASTED A FORTUNE ON SKIN
TROUBLE
"I began to have an itching over my
whole body about seven years ago and
this settled in my limbs, from the knee
to the toes. I went to see a great many
physicians, a matter which cost me a
fortune, and after I noticed that I did
not get any relief that way, I went for
three years to the hospital. But they
were unable to help me there, I used
all the medicines that I could see but
became worse and worse. I had an
inflammation which made me almost
crazy with pain. When I showed my
foot to my friends they would get
really frightened. I did not know
what to do. I was so sick and had be-
come so nervous that I positively lost
all hope.
“I had seen the advertisement of
the Cuticura Remedies a great many
times, but could not make up my mind
to buy them, for I had already used so
many medicines. Finally I did decide
to use the Cuticura Remedies and I
tell you that I was never so pleased as
when I noticed that, after having used
two sets of Cuticura Soap, Cuticura
Ointment and Cuticura Pills, the en-
tire inflammation had gone. I was
completely cured. I should be only
too glad if people with similar disease
would come to me and find out the
truth. I would only recommend them
to use Cuticura. Mrs. Bertha Sachs,

“Mrs. Bertha Sachs is my sister-in-
law and I know well how she suffered

dies after many other treatments
failed. Morris Sachs, 321 E. 89th St.,
