The Accepted Time.
"Merciful powers!” horrifledly eja-
culated Tennyson J. Daft, glaring nt
his newspaper. “A well-knowu East-
ern editor says that poets should be
killed nt the age of twenty-six. What
a brute!"
"Of course, he is a brute, to talk of
allowing them to pester the suffering
public so long," replied old Hector
Harsh. "Poets should be killed at the
age of sixteen, or. If the symptoms are
discovered so early, at six."—Knnsns

WHEN HE WAXED ELOQUENT
—
Phonograph Record of Just What Mr.
Smith Said Might Have Been
Interesting.
Speaking nt a dinner, Representa-
tive Joseph J. Russell of Missouri re-
ferred to the glory of feminine fash-
Ions and fittingly related a little story
along (hat line.
Recently Smith and Jones met In a
restaurant, nnd while dnlntily manip-
ulating the abbreviated bits, their talk
turned to a comparison of domestic
expenses. First It was beef, next It
wn« blitter, nnd finally millinery came
up for a few alghful remarks.
"You should hnve seen the peach
of a hat my wife toted home a few
day ago.” said Smith, "It was all
plumes and other embellishing things,
nnd, after telling me that It was stand-
ing ngalnst my account nt $50 she
sweetly asked me whnt I thought of
It."
"I see," was the smiling response
of Jones. “Of course you told her."
"Oh, yes,” answered Smith, with a
print expression. "I simply raved over
thnt hat for nn hour."—Philadelphia
Evening Telegraph.

A Great Responsibility.
THE responsibility attached to the preparing of a remedy for infants and children
is undoubtedly greater than that imposed upon the manufacturer of remedies
or adults whose system is sufficiently strong to counteract, for a time at least, any
htfimous drag. It is well to observe that Castoria is prepared today, as it has boa
01 im140 years'11114614116 P6™11®1 supervision of Mr. Chas, H. Fletcher.
What have makers of imitations and substitutes at stake ? What are their
responsibilities?* To whom are they answerable? They spring up today,
their nefenous wares broadcast, and disappear tomorrow.
m , eac^ toother see the painstaking care with which the prescription tor
fie Cher’s Castona is prepared: could % read the innumerable testimonials from
grateful mothers, they would never listen to the subtle pleadings and false arguments
of those who would offer, an imitation of, or substitute for the tried and true
Heteher’s Castoria. *
