Ion ma; talk of stylish raiment, Ton may boast your broadcloth One, And the price you gave In payment May be treble that of mine. But there's one suit I'd not trade yon Though It's shabby and It's thin. For the garb your tailor made you; That's the tattered. Mud-bespattered ' Suit that I go fishing In. There's no king In silks and laces And with jewels on his breast With whom I would alter places. There's no man so richly dressed Or so like a fashion panel That bis luxuries to win I would swap my shirt of flannel And the rusty Frayed and dusty Suit that I go fishing In. lis an outfit meant for pleasure. It is freedom's raiment, too ; It's a garb that I shall treasure Till my time of life is through Though perhaps It looks the saddest Of all robes for mortal skin, I am proudest and I'm gladdest In that easy Old and greasy Suit that I go fishing in. (Copyright by Edgar A. Guest.) O Mystery Br GEORQB MATTHEW ADAMS ONE of the most powerful Incen tives In human life is the Mys tery that is locked away as a sort oi Core, buried within every Thought every Aspiration, every Action. It Is the Mystery, that you cannot understand, yet which exists In your Friend, that makes that friend inter esting; it is the force of Mystery in your business that keeps you constant ly at It. and for which you sacrifice and tirelessly work. It Is the Mystery, all wrapped up in every manifestation of nature it is the Mystery that hangs like a dense fog about the very thought of Eternity that makes It fascinating. It Is the element of Mystery entering into every avenue of conscious life that makes life really wonderful. It Is the Inspiration of Mystery that is able to Immediately fire and warm your efforts and make your fondest dreams attainable. If you will but stop long enough to recognize this force and make it save you. Periodically top and consider for a moment this factor In your Success. The two great Poles of life Itself are bounded by Mystery from Birth to Death, about the' only really unmys terlous thing in life Is this that Suc cess and Honor and Happiness, surely follow Work well performed. O Fish Acts as Pilot. The most famous of all fish Is "Pelo rus Jack," a grampus which regularly piloted ships into Pelorus sound. New Zealand, and was finally, after about thirty years' service, protected by a special act of parliament In 1904. Never before has an Individual fish st ained such honor. There have been rumors of his death, but from the lat est accounts he seems to be still in . existence. O Portuguese Soldier Is "Tony." The cordiality of the relationship between the British soldiers and the Portuguese may be taken as finally cemented by the fact that the latter now have a nickname. They are known as "Antonio," which is being shortened to "Tony," a fit counterpart to "Tommy," showing that the rap prochement is consecrated and com plete. . iBook Tes, count me a lover of Earth With It tears or Its mirth; Its wins that Is bitter or bread that Is sweet With the pink apple trees and the brown honey bees.

Nobody ever tried to take a joy ride on the corrugated Iron seat of a modern farm tractor without hav ing his spine caved In farther than the entrance) to the grand ceuyon of Arliona. The mission of the fann tractor Is to Jerk four IS-Inch stirring plows over a cornfield without showing any spavins, ringbones or other signs of wear and tear. For many years the American farmer was obliged to rely upon the obedient but sway-backed work horse whenever be wanted to plow corn, and whenever the horse be came Indisposed or short of breath be had to be laid up for repairs and tinkered with by a veterinary surgeon at $2 per tlnk. Every once In a while a horse would die by leaning up against a bolt of lightning or as a re sult of eating something which was not Intended for his stomach. This made farming almost as expeuslve as feeding Russian prisoners In Germany. The farm tractor will do the work of six horses when It Is hitting on all cylinders. It does .not have to be harnessed, hitched up or bedded down, neither does it stop In the middle of a furrow on a hot day to remove a blue bottle fly with its rear hoof. It will do any work there is on the farm except washing dishes and making beds, although those attachments will probably be put on later. Owing to the difficulty of securing horses which will not die In an off. hand manner or give out at the knees la the middle of the afternoon, the farm tractor is bound to be more popu- It Will Do Any Work There Is on a Farm Except Washing Dishes and Making Beds. lar than the candidate for congress who decides not to run again. It makes life easier for the farmer and sweetens the lot of the petulant hired man, therefore It has come to stay. (Copyright.) O Last Night's Dreams -What They Mean DID YOU DREAM OF FALLING? THIS Is one of the standard or typ ical dreams and one over which the scientists have expended a vast amount of "gray matter." They are generally dreams of peculiar vivid ness. Lucretius 55 B. C, the cele brated Roman philosopher, in his work on psychology speaks of this dream and Cervantes In "Don Quixote" makes the Innkeeper's daughter say that she has many times experienced this dream and awakened to find herself as weak and shaken as If she had really fallen. Some think that the classic myth of the fall of Icarus Into the Icarlan sea originated In a dream of this kind by some ancient Greek. Havelock Gills is inclined to at tribute this dream to purely physical causes. He thinks It may be due to the fact that our respiratory action (breathing) becomes depressed and at the same time the outer nerves of our skin are reduced to a state of Insensi bility so that the skin becomes ab normally insensitive to the contact and pressure of the bed "and the sensation of falling Is necessarily aroused." Freud, on the other hand, regards the dream of failing as-purely psy chological. It is a dream repeating Impressions from childhood. ."What uncle," says he, "has never played falling with a child by rocking It on his knee and then suddenly stretching out bis leg, or by lifting It high and then pretending to withdraw the sup. port? Again all children have fallen occasionally and then been picked up and fondled." The mystics accept the dream as one of direct symbolism. If yon dream that you fall from a height and pick yourself up quickly you will at tain to honor and rjches. But If you stay where you fell troubles and losses threaten you. To wake up before you strike bottom, as many dreamers do, would appear to save the day for you, though this Is not quite so fortunate as to dream that you pick yourself up after the fall.

FOX AND SIR. 1SADGEK YOCNQ FOX had never had real home. He had lived In the tall grass near the marsh, where the ducks were often to be found, ever since be was old enough to take care of him self. But one day he thought It was time to take to the woods and And a home, so he started out tenement hunting. Of course be did not mind at all looking In at every place he found. There waa Mr. Badger's borne; he looked In at that, but It happened that Mr. B. bad not got up, so Mr. Fox decided not to tarry there. Mr, Old Rabbit had left his door open, too, and In there Young Fox looked, but as Mr. Old Itubblt was still In possession, Toung Fox looked further: "Oh I I'll find some one away from home or some deserted home before long," thought Young Fox as be trotted through the woods. It did not matter to him at all whether the house was vacant for good or not If only It was vacant when he got there, for Young Fox did not like to build a home; It was too much work. He went Into Mr. Bear's house, but he went right out as soon as he could, for Mr. Bear looked well able to dis pute with him, and Young Fox did not want trouble be wanted to live In the woods. "Now this looks nice to me," he said as he came to a place where there seemed to be no one at home, and after looking around Young Fox de cided to stay, so he locked the door FOR first time other day I go veeslt bnsaball game. I aska one guy een leetle cage' how moocha costa and he say, "One buck gramla stand and feof ty cents bleacher." I geeva one dolla and go eenside.

But I dunno Wot you tlnk? 0 Instruction for the Young. Yells from the nursery brought the mother, who found baby gleefully pull ing Billy's curls. "Never mind, darling," she comfort ed. "Baby doesn't know how It hurts." Half an hour later wild shrieks from the baby made ber run again to the nnrsery. "Why, Billy," she cried, "what Is the matter with baby?" "Nothing, mother," said Billy, calm ly; "only now be knows." Tid-Blts. aud pulled down the shades and went to bed. Now this place happened to be the home of another Mr. Badger a very peaceful fellow seldom sway from home In the daytime, but this being a cloudy day he had gone for a stroll. When Mr. Badger returned and found his door locked, he began to wonder who was Inside, for as he peeked In at the keyhole, he could see that the key was In the lock. Now Mr. Badger had been locked out before, so he Just got a ladder and climbed up to the chimney aud slid down. Young Fox was asleep and making a noise about It, and Mr. Badger tip toed to his bedroom and looked In and there In his very own bed was Young Fox, fast asleep. First he opened the door wide and then he went to the bed and gave Young Fox a hard shake. "Let me alone," be Raid, opening one eye to make sure It was not Mr, Dog. "Get out of my bed," said Mr, Bad ger; "this Is my house." "Possession Is nine points of the law," replied Young Fox. "Do yon see these marks, my badge?" said Mr. Badger, pointing to the black stripe on each side of Ills white head. "Yes, I see them," said Young Fox. "All your fumlly are white-headed, all old, I suppose." "I'll show you," said Mr. Badger, and with a spring he was on the bed and took hold of one of Young Fox's ears, which was sticking up. "Oh I let go of my earl" cried Young Fox, Jumping up and trying to shake off Mr. Bsdger, but It was no use; his teeth were fastened In Young Fox's ear for keeps. Young Fox ran to the door and out In the woods crying and Jumping, but still Mr. Badger clung to his ear, and not until he was quite a distance from the house did he let go. When he at last unfastened his Jaws he called after Young Fox, who was running: "That Is why I got the badge, because I have the finest set of Jaws In the world, and If ever yon come around here aguln, I will show you how long I can bold oa with them." .

Beauty Chats ; By EDNA KENT FORBES PRETTY TEETH TOO much emphasis cannot he lain upon the fact that the teeth must be given dally brushing and must be looked after by a good dentist one every half year, Poor teeth will spoil the beat shaped mouth, will ruin a smile. Teeth neglected so that they have to be pulled, cause hollows In the cheeks, and lines around the nmiith, where the hollow gums shrink. Teeth that grow In wrong, or were neglected when young, often cause b idly shaped chins. Children and babies who are allowed to suck .their fingers usually grow up with protruding lips, badly formed Jawbones, aud receding chins. The receding chin and protruding teeth combination give a look of stu pidity to the face that takes away any other good looks. A good dentist ran remedy this, frequently, by gradually spacing the teeth so they grow straight Instead of outward. In other cases, where the Jaw Is badly formed and the teeth are Jagged, small wedges are put between, spacing the teeth away from each other, and so giving them room to grow projierly. A few old-fashioned deutlsts still use gold The Charm of the Mouth Depends Upon the Teeth. wires and screws for this, but this form of'dlscomfort is done away with by more modern practitioners. These use soft wedges, taking them out and replacing them frequently. For general care of the teeth, two dally brushlngs should be the rule. Teeth decay and yellow because food particles collect, sour, form gases and eat Into the enamel. Diseases of the gum result from neglect Oum shrink ing can be avoided In most cases If the teeth are brushed up and down as well as crosswise.
