Everything Tango.
There was a tango maiden
And she had a tango smile,
She wore a tango bonnet
And she danced a tango mile;
She met a tango teacher
And became his tango wife;
And ever since they’ve lived I
hear
A tangled tango life.
* * *
New York, Feb. 14.—There’s
a tang in the tango that has
gotten into everyone’s blood.
The tango is everything, and ev
erything is tango.
Strong men and fair actresses
have had stronger cigars and
wpaker Derfumes named after
them but nowadays everything
from tobacco to tooth paste,
from hardware to haberdashery
is done in the name of the tan
go. Certain it is that the little
milliners and dressmakers and
bootmakers and corsetiers and
hairdressers and jewelers have
gotten busy and brought forth
enough tango togs to cover us
from the tops of our tango
heads to the tips of our tango
toes.—Exchange.

Bunting Thoroughly Tested,
In very truth a modem bcttUsMl
does, in modern phrasing, carry som*
Hunting. About $160,000 la spent by
the United States navy for flags tul
year. Every case of bunting costs tit
government $560; every roll oostt
$11.26. The bunting comes from Mb*
Mchusetta. Every plecs Is subjects*
to the most severe test, it must
weigh live pounds to every forty yards
and stand the weight test of seventy
pounds to two square Inches. It Is
steeped in salt water for six ho art
sad then exposed to the sun for the
same period of time. If after this
treatment It continues to he bunting
at a distinguishable color It la pxr
Bounced fit tor service.
Safety ip Friendship.
An intimate friendship is at once
a safeguard in recr»atlon and social
enjoyment, for a man thinks twice be
fore he plunges into surroundings
which he knows his heat friend would
sondemn. It is a stimulus, because
in work or business, or even play, a
man does not willingly lag behind 1
while the friend is forging ahead. In '
oomroon endeavors for good causes,
religious or eocial or political, friend
ship is a powerful inducement to self
forgetting activity. j
Muoh Like Baroaem. j
The conceited visitor had talked t
long time, and small Janie was duly I
impressed with the breadth and varle- j
ty of his knowledge. At last the
talker made the sententious statement
that one-half the world does not know
how the other half lives. "Why don’v
you teach them?" was the innocenl
question that made the> visitor blush
and his other listeners struggle with
scarcely suppressed chuckles.
In Due 8eason.
"Is love of country strong In your
reast?” asked the patriot “Only In
-arm weather.” Bald the man with the
omfortafcle home in town. |

But Husband, With Aid of Cardui,
Effects Her Deliverance.
Draper, N C.—Mrs. Helen Dalton, o!
this place, says: “1 suffered for years,
with pains in my left side, and would
often almost smother to death.
Medicines patched me up for awhila
but then I would get worse again. Final
ly, my husband decided he wanted me to
fry Cardui, the woman’s tonic, so he
bought me a bottle and I began using it.
It did me more good than all the medi
cines 1 had taken.
I have induced many of my friends to
try Cardui, and they all say* they have
been benefited by its use. There never
has been, and never will be, a medicine
to compare with Cardui. I believe it is
a good medicine for all womanly trou
bles.’*
For over 50 years, Cardui has been re
lieving woman’s sufferings and building
weak women up to health and strength.
If you are a woman, give it a fair trial.
It should surely help you, as it has a
million others.
Get a bottle of Cardui to-day.
