She Got In.
On the day that there was to be a
circus at Selma, Ark., I was riding out
to see a certain man ten miles from
town when I met a little old woman be-
longing to the "cracker" class. She
had on   poke bonnet and a clean c;#i-
co drese, but was barefooted. I wa?
passing Her with a nod when she held
up her hand and said.
"Stranger, my name's Skinner, an^
I'm bound to town and the circus."
"That's good,' I replied. "Got you'
60 centB to pay your way in?"
"I've only got two bits, sah—jest tw/
dimes and a nickle."
"I'm afraid you won't get in foi
that."
"Stranger, don't you worry abotf
Polly Skinner. I shall get into tba
circus and see everything for two bit?
Look a-year, will you."
And putting the coins In her mont!
Ehe began to turn cartwheels in th>
road and ended up with a handspring
that brought her on her feet again tr

"Well, what do you think of that?"
"Immense," I repiied, "but how K

for a quarter?"
"In this way. I'll stand in front o1
the ticket wagon and demand a tiVet

And she began the cartwheel busi

Lara Plant Cured Cough.
"Professor Riggs, I see, advises peo-
ple to chew lava as a panacea for all
ills," remarked a Providence woman
who travels widely. "I cannot vouch
for the theory that lava would be a
panacea for all ills, but I can vouch
that it possesses a plant or shrub
which grows very near or in the lava
that has a curative property in it for
a cough. A few years since, while re-
turning from Vesuvius to our hotel In
Naples, I was annoyed and afflicted
with a constant cough which nothing
seemed to relieve. The coachman, a
native, in our employ, seeing the di-
lemma, stopped his carriage and, pick-
ing a few stems from the shrub, gave it
to me as a sure remedy for my cough.
It certainly did prove a panacea and
worked like magic. Perhaps this same
plant, grown by the lava, may possess
some of the constituents that Pro-
fessor liiggs claims for the lava. The
hated lava may yet become a friend
of the physician and a benefit to the
human race."—Providence Journal.
The Deiuund For Aluminium.
There is a great scarcity of alumini-
um in the world today. The reason
given is that the automobile manufac-
turers use this metal in the machinery
of the cars, thus Increasing the amount
used far mope than any other single
Industry. The supply of aluminium
comes from only four sources In the
world; hence the amount Is limited to
a rery great extent. The chief of these
sources is represented by the Pitts-

Falls. In Great Britain there Is the
British Aluminium company, whose
plant is at the Falls of Foyers, and on

WHAT THE
NATIONAL BISCUIT COMPANY
STANDS FOR
—The scientific, reconstructed baking industry, whereby
the goodness and nutrition of Biscuit and Crackers
have Deen marvelously enhanced.
—The new method of protection by which all dust, dirt
and moisture are completely excluded from the package
and the freshness and goodness of its contents are care-
fully preserved.
This is the trade mark which appears
in red and white on each end of the
package as an absolute pledge both
of the quality of the baking and the
purity of the packing.
For example try Graham Crackers—so different from
the ordinary gTaham crackers—different in baking—different
in flavor—different m packing. More palatable—more satisfy-
ing—more nufritious. Made of the purest Graham flour and baked
in a manner understood onlj by the National Biscuit Company.

Ipttoii of h IfatMiuet In the>
Lama'H Palace.
A correspondent of the London Times
who accompanied the grand lama of
Tibet on his recent return to that coun-
try after an absence of some months
thus describes the feasting in the lama's
palace In honor of the occasion:
"Proceedings began with what had
all the appearance of a blessing, ex-
cept that each person brought a pres-
ent, which the lama touched and an at-
tendant took possession of. The pres-
ents consisted of silver shoes worth
about $50, vessels of various precious
metals, rolls of silk, cloth and similar
articles. When all the gifts had been
banded over the Inevitable tea was
brought In. The lama had a huge gold-
en pot, studded with turquoises, all to
himself. Attendants passfil among the
seated lamas and filled the wooden
cups which the latter produced from
the bosoms of their capacious robes.
For us four there were a special teapot
and Chinese bowls. But as for drink-
ing, we knew better. We took a blow
at the surface to slide the rancid but-
ter off the top, made a sucking noise
with our mouths and then handed back
the cups, sufficiently nauseated, with-
out drinking, by the smell of the tea
alone. Next came the distribution of
the fruit and sweetmeats, of which we
received an ample share.
"Then the great doors of the hall
were thrown open and there poured in
a horde of struggling humanity that
rushed at great stacks of Tibetan bread
—a crisp, brown substance, fried in
butter aud very palatable in a cold
climate. The bread was on tnbles in
broad plies six feet high. With des-
perate fury the poor of the city fell on
this provision of the gods and crammed
the brittle stacks into sacks and bos-
oms, punching their receptacles when
full to make room for more. They
fought like cannibals for the bread and
stole from each other when they could.
And all the while the lictors of the road
were among them, lashing with their
whips, prodding with the heavy butts
and striking with their fists. One man
had two sacks, and, though beaten un-
mercifully, he continued until both
were full and then retired under a rain
of blows.
"Next came a religious controversy
between two monks. These hitched
up their clothes, slapped their hands
together, stamped their feet, looking
for a verbal opening Just as a pugilist
looks for a chance to get in with his
left. One represented Satan and the
other some sacred personage, the dis-
cussion dealing with the birth of Bud-
dha. Satan said Buddha was born
with red trousers, after which sally
he went Into loud roars of laughter,
which drowned the indignant reply of
bis opponent. The saint then declared
that Satan bad a tail, whereat every
monk in the room laughed delightedly.
And so the two kept at It for about
half an hour. When Satan looked a
winner all over the controversy was
declared closed and the saint the vic-
tor—nnother injustice to the devil."
