Thaw might prove valuable
timber for the Athletics or
Giants. Didn’t he make a safe
line drive to Canada, and isn’t
he good at sacrifices? Besides
looney Harry is perfectly at
home in a “pinch" and all the
alienist scouts have agreed that
he is a top-notcher with the
“bats.” But he has evidently
figured in numerous “squeeze
plays” on the Great White Way.
We believe he would make a
fine catcher because hasn’t he
c^ight everything from bench
warrants and. extradition papers
to severe jolts and hard luck?—

wooden washtubs?
Perhaps that is still your method
and you look forward to each wash
1 day with delight. Well, hardly!

trays would mean an orderly laun

FORKED LONG FOR SUCCESS
Mr*. Stannard Wrota Steadily for
Y**r* Bafora -Bootle’* Baby
Made I to Hit.
It la Interesting to recall Just now
that tbs lata Mra. Stannard, other

•arfbad heraalf aa a woman writer bnt
tot a •‘woman’* rlghtor.” Yet there
wu certainly no lack of character or
brain power about tbe author d
"Bootle’s Baby," who was Indeed aa
sxnlnently capable woman with a
clear, well-balanced Intellect, much
robust common sense, and a great ca
pacity for organization, which served
her in good stead when she turned
from literature to commerce.
Struggling authors may be interest
ed to know that it was only after ten
years of incessant work that Mra
Stannard, who lived to write some
thing like one hundred books, scored
her first real success. And even this
might not have been achieved but
for a little piece of luck, for "Bootle’s
Baby," the work In question, had then
been rejected by six London publish
ers awi cast aside as hopeless Mrs.
Stannard’s husband, however, hajl
pened to pick up the manuscript one
day, read it, liked It, and suggested
that he should send it to the Graphic.
Mrs. Stannard answered: "Send it
anywhere you like,” and no one was
more astonished than herselt when in
due course the Graphic took tt.—

Not What She Meant.
The other evening at a simple
oeial function, opened with a game of
ards, the host caused quite a stir
mong the ladies present by announc
ing after the guests had seated them
selves at the tables: “If everybody’s
nade up. we’ll start." Self consciously
hey looked at one another and ln
oluntarily their hands went to their
ices.
Adversity Makes Character.
A smooth sea never made a skilful
narlner, neither do uninterrupted
irosperity and success qualify for
isefulness aud happiness. The storms
f adversity like those of the ocean,
ouse the faculties, and excite the ln

Speech in Marble.
Rodin says of the antique master
pieces: They “speak to me louder,
move me more, than human beings.
In Its turn, may the new century medi
tate upon these marvels, and may it
try to ascend to them through Intelli
gence and love.”
Clash of Contrast.
“What is that terrific noise?” ask
ed tiui pedestrian. “That,” replied the
policeman, "is caused by an ordinary'
one-cent safety pin sticking into 3

FAMILY AVOIDS
SERIOUS SICKNESS
_
By Being Constantly Supplied With
Thedford’i Black-Draught.
McDuff, Va.—“I suffered for several
years,” says Mrs. J. B. Whittaker, of
this place, “with sick headache, and
stomach trouble.
Ten years ago a friend told me to try
Thedford’s Black-Draught, which I did,
and 1 found it to be the best family medi
cine for young and old.
I keep Black-Draught on hand all the
time now, and when my children feel a
little bad, they ask me for a dose, and it
does them more good than any medicine
they ever tried.
We never have a long spell of sick
ness in our family, since we commenced
using Black-Draught.”
Thedford’s Black-Draught is purely
vegetable, and has been found to regu
late weak stomachs, aid digestion, re
lieve indigestion, colic, wind, nausea,
headache, sick stomach, and similar
symptoms.
It has been in constant use for more
than 70 years, and has benefited more
than a million people.
