Tlie old gold riug had belonged to
Elsie's grent-grftiidmolher. It had once
boon a thumb ring, Klsio looked upon
It im a aort of heirloom, and had carried
it with her aa a wort of talisman since
childhood. One day, after she had
known Mr. Willlngton a few months be
fore they were engaged to be married,
the young man had laughingly pulled
from )tia pocket a peuny throngh which
some foolish person had bored a hole.
Eltfie waa Jut about to appear in a new
character, so Horace, in fun, remarked,
'.'.Tbon take this penny a,ui keojy it tut

"That ia eaaily done," aaid Horace, aa
he took the ring in hi hand and ad'
mired 1 1 hnaiitg. "1 will take it 10
Kraut', in HheftHd, and have It aplit."
Accordingly be took the ring, and in
a fewdaya returned It with tlieponny

Why Dr. Price's Baking Powder is
Superior to all others.
No great efforts are made by other manufacturers
to procure and ttse pure materials.
It is true that one! other company has the facilities,
but its greed and cupidity induced it in an evil hour to ttse
ammonia, in order to swell its profits. Hence the Price
Baking Powder Company stands alone in its fight for a pure
baking powder.
No other article of human food receives greater care
in its production, or has attained higher perfection. Dr.
Price's Cream i3 surely a perfect baking powder. Free from
every taint of impurity. No other article used in the
kitchen has so many steadfast friends among' the house
wives of America.
