THE MOON'S JEWELRY.
“It’s a very funny thing," Bold the
(Moon, "but folks don’t seem to think
that old Mr. Moon likes Jewelry. They
like It themselves. Ladles wear Jewel-
ry, rings and bracelets and so forth,
ind gentlemen wear scarfplns and
watches, aiid boys and girls have
'watches or rings or something or oth-
er In tho way of Jewelry before they’re
•through.
“By saying before they’re through, I
iinean that boys usually own watches
(before they're through being boys and
iglrls usually have bangles or rlngB or
'something before they’re through being
iglrls and have reached the grown-up
stage. But no one In the world thinks
old Mr. Moon likes Jewelry."
"Do you?” asked the Queen of the
lFa!rle8. "I didn’t know that you did."
“Yes,” said Mr. Moon, "I like to see
Jewelry, but I only want to own a
•little. In fact a nice ring Is about all
I want"
“Have you never seen my rings?" he
asked. "I have more than one, you
see. But I care for one more than
the others, and I care for rings more
than any other kind of Jewelry."
"Well," said the Queen of the Fair-
ies, “I have heard that before It Is go-
ing to rain you are apt to have a ring
•about you. Is that what you mean?
Or what?”
"TJiat’s what I mean," said Mr. Moon.
“Now, you’ve noticed, I suppose, that
1 have different kinds of rings. Some
of my rings are of quite a few colors,
oil blending in together, some of my
(rings are of silvery color and
•best ring of all Is a golden ring."
“Whatever makes you wear It be-
fore it Is going to rain?” asked the
(Queen of the Fairies.
"Well,” paid Mr. Moon, "I will
(Plain that to you.”
"Do," said the Queen of the Fairies.
“You see,” said Mr. Moon, “a long
itlme ago I thought I would like to
(Own a few rings. I knew I had no
lhands and no fingers upon which to
wear the rings so I thought it would
Ibe nice to have the rings around me.

face for that would have looked rather

absurd, and Mr. Moon doesn’t care to
look absurd. He’s too old a fellow for
ithat."
The Queen of the Fairies smiled.
“Pray continue,” she said.
"So I decided upon rings'and I have
several different ones I wear at dif-
ferent times, but as I told you be-
fore my favorite one Is my golden one."
“And you said that you would ex-
plain to me why you wear your ring
•before it is going to rain?" asked the
Queen of the Fairies.
“Ah, yes,” said Mr. Moon, "I will
tell you.”
He paused for a moment and then
a broad grin went over his face.
"What are you laughing at?”
"At what I am going to tell you,”
«aid Mr. Moon.
"Then tell it to me soon, so I can
enjoy the Joke with you,” she said.
"When It is going to rain and when
It should rain,” said Mr. Moon, “I wear
a ring to remind ipyself that I must
take a rest, and that I’ve worked long
enough, and that I’m expected back
of the clouds for a visit.
"You know how folks will tleTpiece

them remember something? Well, Mr.
Moon does that too, only he has no
string and no fingers, and so he does
ilt this other way.
“I haven’t that good habit of saving
string," Mr. Moon chuckled.
"flut I remind myself of the rain and
of my promised visit and rest by wear-
ing the ring about me. And as long as

"I love a ring or so, and yet I only

smiled the Moon.
Prayed for Cure
Finds it After 10 Years
Food Would Sour and Boil
-Teeth Like Chalk
Mr. Herbert M. Geeener writer from hie
home ia Berlin, N. H.:
I had itomnch trouble over ten yean;
kept getting woree. I tried everything for
relief but it came back worn than ever.
Last fall I got awfully bad; could only eat
light loaf bread and tea. In January I got
•o bad that what I would eat would aour
and boil; my teeth would be like chalk.
I suffered terribly. I prayed every day for
something to cure me. One day I read
about EATONIC and told my wife to get
me a box at the drug store as I was going
to work at 4 p. m. I took one-third of it
and began to feel relief; when it wae
three-fourths gone, I felt fine and when it
waa used up I had no paini. Wife got me
another box but I have felt the pain but
twice. I used five tableti out of the new
box and I have no more stomach trouble.
Now I write to tell you how thankful I
am that I heard of EATONIC. I feel like
a new man; I eat what I like, drink plenty
of water, and it never hurt* me at all.

Friendly Enemies.
I am a conductor from a suburb. I
boarded a crowded train, but found a
Rent occupied by one man who monopo-
lized the space at his side by filling
It with packages. When I asked him
to remove his bundles he suggested I
probably would be able to find room
elsewhere. But after a disagreeable
discussion I finally settled down to the
seat. In walked a friend of mine
who gave me and my sent mate a
nudge and said: “Mr. S.. you must
shake hands with Mr. B.; you will
like him, I am sure. He has just
moved and has rented the house next
door to you.”—Chicago Tribune.
Applicants Aplenty,

It was coming aud since she was very
popular many of them decided to give
her presents. One of her little fresh-
man boys came in with a huge box of
candy. “Oh, Bob," she said, "why I be-
lieve I’ll have to kiss you for this.”
Now right behind Bob was a Junior
boy much larger and more glib of
tongue. So immediately he spoke up,
“Walt a minute, Miss T. I’ve got you
a present, too."
