Father and Son.
Some years ago, when the custom of
sending small boys up chimneys to
sweep them was still In vogue, a 'well
known sweep and his son started to
work on a very tall chimney belonging
to a mill. To reach the chimney It
was necessary to crawl through a flue
thirty feet long. The father covered
the boy's face with a bag and sent him
In. In a few minutes he called "Billy!" '
So answer. "Billy!" Still no answer.
And he called again and again, but no
rolce replied, and at last he began to
be frightened and said: "Oh, Lord, the
poor boy is smothered! Whatever will
his mother say?" At the same time he
was using all the pious expressions he
could think of. At this moment n
voice was heard from the top of the
chimney, "Feyther, feyther, mun I
come down the lightning rod or mun I
come down Inside?" The father
gasped for breath a moment, then
shouted, "Come dowa, thou young Imp,
inside or out, and when I catch thee
I'll break every bone In thy body!"?

Lightning and Rubb?r Tires.
"In a thunderstorm you can't be in
a safer place than a motorcar," said
an electrician. "It's the tires. They
insulate you. With lightning playing
all about, the tires protect the occu
pants of the car i>erfeetly. The occu
pant# are as safe as though they
weren't there. The rubber of the tire
and the dry air filling it form this in
sulation. It's Impregnable, and they
who fear the lightning can't do better.
In a thunderstorm, than to order out
the car."? Kansas City Star.

SCIENCE PREVENTS BALDNESS.
I'he Fnlnl (irrm and I<? Kemeily Now
Facta of Science*
It Is the rarest thing In the world for
a n. ftr to be necessarily bald. No man
whose hair Is not dead at the roots, nead |
be bald if he will use Newbro's Herbi
cide, lao new scalp antiseptic. Herpl
clde destroys the germ that cuts the hair
off at the root: and cleans the scalp of
dandruff and leaves It In a perfectly
healthy condition. Mr. Mannett, In tho
Maryland Block, Butte, Mont., was en
tirely bald. In less than a month Herpi
clde had removed the enemies of hair
growth, and nature did Its work by cov
ering his head with thick hair an Inch
lens, and in six weeks lie had a normal
suit of hair. Sold by leading druggists.
