One day a new boy came to the school, a rather chubby, round-faced, good-natured looking boy, who wore very coarse and clumsy shoes and enr rled his lunch wrapped In a newapnper and stuffed Into the side pocket of his skimpy and threadbare Jacket He said his name was Jimmy Stagg. Percy Heffner, whose mother fitted him out with a clean waist every day of his life nnd wouldn't let hlmN wear darned stockings, took notice of Jimmy for some reason and strolled up to him as he was eating his lunch. It was bread and butter. Just plain bread and butter. Percy looked rnthor disgusted. "Ain't you got no pie, even?" he asked. "Got er nannle." snid Jimmy, with his mouth full. "Want a bite?" Pery shook his henrt. "I lust threw nwny a big piece of apple pie," he said. "mid some fried chlckun." Jimmy did not seem to be at all Im pressed. ."Pie ain't good for the stum nitok." he remnrked. "My father says bo, an' It ain't good to eat meat more'n once a day. I like bread an' butter. Mv mother made the bread an' we churned the butter ourselves. It's llckln' good." I "Why don't you carry It in a lunch box?" asked Percy. "I'd sooner have It in pnpor," re plied Jimmy. "I'd have to pack the lunrhhox back. When I get through I can just roll the paper In a wad an throw It away." Pcrcv seemed to think there might be something In that argument, but he departed, leaving the new boy content- illv munching his tirenn anil wurer. vhilo he polished the rosy apple on the leg of his trousers. home and asked If he couldn't have some awfully thick shoes made of real cowhide. Jimmy's parents were not well-to-do, but according to their son they had more delightful possessions than any body else in town. There wns the cow. There was the tremendous man- ele in the shed thnt Jimmy was allowed to operate when his mother was rushed with work. There wus the model ship that Jimmy's uncle, who had been a sailor, had carved with his own hands and no other tool than a jack-knife. Xo end of things. Jimmy had a dog. "He's Just a cur," said Percy. "He suits me," said Jimmy. "I bet you nes smarter than any dog you know. - You ought to see him go after a rabbit. He can do tricks, too. I'll show you." "Anything that you've got Is all right," said Tercy, with Intended sar casm. "I'm lucky, that's all," said Jimmy, simply. "It Just seems to come that way. ' "My father says folks that are al ways satisfied with everything don't never get anywhere,' said Percy. That saying, by the way, made a great Impression on Percy. He thought of it often In after years as he shifted about from one place to another, moved by a divine discontent. It omired to him when he, a clerk In a bank, met Jimmy and found that Jimmy felt not at all abused by fate in the lowly occupation of office boy In be had taken had not been successful. Presently the special drew up to the platform and a chubby, round-faced man of prosperous apienrnnce got iut and walked briskly Into the telegraph office. In a few minutes he came it again and was about to re-enter the car when his quick glance encountered Percy's stare and he stopped. "Heffner!" he exclaimed. "Why, what In the world! What are you do ing here?" "Is It Jimmy Stagg?" asked Percy, limply accepting the proffered hand and shrinking a little under the slap on his back. "I'm going to Chicago as soon as Tcan get a train." "Here's your train," said Jimmy. "Jump aboard and we'll talk. This '.1 your bnggage? Yes? Hey, George!" A porter leaped for Percy's suitcase and Jimmy hoisted his boyhood friend Into the car. In another minute the train was sliding out of the Junction and Percy was gasping at his luxurious surroundings from the depths of a leather upholstered chair. "Whose car is this, anyway?" asked Percy, as soon as he got his breath. "It's mine," replied Jimmy. "All right, isn't It? I think It's about the best that ever ran on rails myself. Suits me." "You're still with the road, then?" said Percy, feebly. "I own the road, smiled Jimmy. "Pretty good little road, too. It Isn't a trunk, but you show me a better mnn aged one or a better paying one. I'm satisfied with It. Say, we'll eat now. Lunch Is Just ready. Don't you t 11 me that you've eaten, because I've got the best cook In this country. You al ways did think I was easily pleased, though." "That's right," assented Percy. "I did think so, but I know now thnt It was nothing but a bluff." Chicago Dal'y News.

He appeared to even proud of it. "A fellow has to be pretty smart and hustle mighty lively to do my work ami do It right," said Jimmy. "It's good wages, too, and I've got a dandy boss. I tell you the rail road business Is the business to be in." The next time Percy saw him Jimmy was a full-fledged clerk In the auditing department of the road and seemed to have nothing left to ask for. He was engaged to the loveliest and sweetest ilrl that ever happened. Percy wasn't feeling In a happy frame of mind at the time, having been treated very shabbily by the manager of the haid ware house he' had been working for. He was rather glad to get away from Jimmy, that round-faced embodiment of satisfaction. "He's found his level," thought Percy when they had parted. "He'll save his money and he'll have the best wife and the neatest little house and the finest bunch of children and the prize veg etable garden and he'll jog along on his little salary to the end of his days and be happy. Well, we aren't all made alike!" It was only a part of his prophecy that came true.

He was in the insurance business then and the trip STICKING TO THE POINT. j Tba Qocatlon Thnt Won n Good Poat tlon tot n Boy. A lawyer wanted nn apprentice and placed an advertisement in the local paper. A number of boys replied, so he gathered them all together In his office at once and looked them over. He found It pretty hard to make a choice, but at length a happy Idea struck him. "Once upon a time," he said, "a farmer was very much annoyed by a huge rat that made a very comfortable living by feeding upon his grain and other products. He tried traps of all kinds to catch It, but the wily rodent evaded them all and apparently en Joyed the game of hide nnd seek that the farmer had devised for Its recrea tion. One day, however, as the farmer turned the corner of a haystack, car rying a gun In his hand, he spied the troublesome rodent at tne edge of the hay. Instantly raising his gun, he fired, but the blazing gun wad dropped among the hay" Here the lawyer stopped, and, look ing at the boys, he said, "If any of you want to ask a question, write It on a piece of paper." Each did as sug gested, and here are some of the ques Hons that were asked: "Did he set the hay on fire?" "Wns "the stack burned to the ground?" "Did the farmer have his bay In sured?" "Was the fire engine near at hand?" "Was the rat killed?" The boy that asked the last question was chosen because he stuck to the point. American Photography, KASPARILLA This sterling household remedy is most successfully prescribed for a "world of troubles." For derangements of the di gestive organs it is a natural corrective, operating diractly upon the liver and ali mentary canal, gently but persistently stimulating a healthful activity. Its beneficial influence extends, however, to every portion of the system, aiding in the processes of digestion and assimilation of food, promoting a wholesome, natural appetite, correcting sour stomach, bad breath, irregularities of the bowels, con stipation and the long list of trouble directly traceable to those unwholesome conditions. Kasparilla dispels drowsi ness, headache, backache and despond ency due to inactivity of the liver, kidneys and digestive tract. It ' is a strengthening tonic of the highest value.
