FOLEY KIDNEY PILLS BACKACHE KIDNEYS AND BLADDER Mothers Might Learn Antidotes. A young mother, during the infancy of her first born, set hersell the task of committing to memory antidotes for the commonest poisons known, es- pecially those that it might be pos- sible for children to come into contact with. In addition to this, she mem- orized methods of aiding drowning and injured persons. In fact, learned sort of a “first aid to the injured” set of rules. Would not this be an excel- lent plan for all mothers?—Good Housekeeping Magazine. Rita heard the fatal “All Aboard!” as she rushed through the station gate. 8he kept up her pace, however, and as the train was about to start she gained the platform of the last coach. She tried to open the door, but it was securely locked. At the first little village, the train stopped and Rita was about td descend the steps and make her way to another coach, when a man swung on to the platform beside her. “Will I have time,” she asked anxi- ously, “to go to the next car?” “l can let you in this way,” he said, unlocking the door. It was quite dark and Rita could only discern a tall, straight figure in the dusk. She considered that he was a railway official, and followed him Into the coach which was unoccupied. “I belleve the other cars are all erowded,” he remarked, “but you are welcome to ride in my private car.” He turned in the aisle to face her as he spoke. “Ob, Mr. Maxwell!” she cried de- lightedly, “don’t you remember me?” He looked ipterestedly fnto the piquant little face upturned to his and a Jook of pleased recognition lighted his eyes. “Indeed T do! You are Rita Bol ford, my sister Margaret's littie sehool triend.” “It's two years since I passed the Easter vacation at your howse, and of course I have changed wnd grown up,” she remarked. “I don't belleve you have changed much,” he replied, as he arranged her luggage and took a seat beside her. “I haven't changed in one respect,” she observed with a sigh. “You know my propensity for always getting into scrapes? I am still doing the same—" “So I imagined,” he laughed. “Will you tell me why I find you at dusk alone on the platform of a locked coach?” “So fortunate,” she remarked ir- relevantly, “that it was your coach. 1 Rita’s Father Hastened Yoward i After all, like the popular novels, I always come out all right, I was for- tunate in not being seen when I board- ed the train and still more fortunate in securing a seat away from curious eyes in your car. If any one pursues me he’ll hardly look for me here.” “Then you are—" “l am—running away.” “Is there a—man in the case?” he asked gravely, giving her a searching glanoe. She blushed and dropped her eyes. “Rita,” he asked sternly, “where are you going?” “To Buffalo,” she replied in a still, small voice. “You used to confidle in me,” he said reproachfully, “and I used to belp you. Mayn't I do so now?” “Maybe I am beyond help now,” she said with a doleful sigh. “Rita, I insist upon your telling me.” “Well, as usual T acted on the im- pulse of the moment and telegraphed to Buffalo that I would be on this train. 1 left a note at the house where I was visiting saying that I had been called away. And I came, and you found me.” He waited for more confidence, but as she seemed to have told him all that she intended to, he began talk- ing to her on other subjects, chatting freely and interestingly until he had restored their old friendly footing. Then suddenly he dropped his care- less, conventional tone and turned to her a face full of resolute purpose. “Rita, T am going to be disagree- able.” he said ecarnestly. “I am going ‘m talk to you a- ! would to Margaret were she in vour place, as 1 hope some_older men would advise her {were T not with her. 1 have heard | something of you in the last two years. | know that last spring you were receivi ittentions from a man to whom your father strongly obpect- ed—" “Yees,” she admitted. “So I am ferced to draw my con- clusions, Rita; especially when you tell me that you ran away from the place you were visiting and that you were desirous of not being seen, and anticipate pursuit.” She looked up, fueed. *“Well, what are your conclusions?” “That you are planning to elope with this man.” flushed and com- fleces. oo 3 4 LA THB EVENING TELEGRAM LAKELAND, FLA., JANUARY 2, 1912. I,“And——u 1 were?” she asked slow- Her eyes looked ready for tears. “Mr. Maxwell,” she said gently. “Fa- ther {s in Buffalo on business. I tele- graphed him to meet me at this train.” “Rita!” he exclaimed reproachfully, chagrined at the thought that he had made a fool of himself—*“you told me you were running away.” “And so I am. I was rowing on the river yesterday when a boat near me in which were a young couple cap- sized. It happened to be an easy mat- ter for me to rescue them, but every one was foolish enough to try to make a heroine out of me. Reporters, camera flends and grateful relatives besieged me until I could stand the notriety no longer, so I—bolted.” “Why didn't you explain at first,” he asked stifly, the knowledge that he had made himself ridiculous and drawn out by a young girl still ran- kling. “Mr. Maxwell,” she sald quickly and earnestly, “I phaven't explained all yet. When I was at school and Marga- ret talked so much of you, and then when you came to New York and were #0 lovely to us and again when I passed those two weeks at your home, you bécanie my oOtacle. You know schoolgiris have to bave a hero w-jome one by whom to eet thelr standard. I thought about you a great deal. Last spring I did have a suitor to whom father objected, as did all my friends, which was my main rea- son for not discouraging him. He pro- posed an elopment. The plan appeal ed to me at first. Then I found my- self wondering what you would think of such an act, and somehow I felt sure that you would think just the things you have said to me to-night. I was ashamed of my temptation and gave it up and I was ashamed of the one who made the proposal, and I gave up his acquaintance entirely. 1 thought it would do me good it I/ could really hear you say the thlngfil’ I had only imagined you might say.” “Rita,” he said, his face aglow with pleasure and—something else, ““do you know that for the last two years when [ I have been inclined to be cynical and 1 blase and to think that every one was | selfish and insincere, I have recalled the happy-hearted, dear, little school- | girl who filled our house with such | sunshine one Easter time.” i When they came from the train at' Buffalo, Rita's father hastened townrdl them, “Oh, Maxwell," he cried henrllly.| “what a relief to see you!

The etiquette and service of the age were very elaborate; the books of courtesy, of carving and the numerous works on manners that fill the period seem to contain directions to occupy a lifetime. And though the state of society and manners was crude in many ways and the standard of house hold comfort and cleanliness very low (as witness the household books of Henry VIIL), still the conditions of life do not seem to have been actually much harder on women than on men, Helen Hay Wilson writes in Harper's, The education of women was in pro- portion as good as that of men and carried on in much the same way. And as men improved women improved with them. When the moral force came the standard of women's education was raised at once. The Princess Elizabeth was well skilled in Greek and Latin and Lady Jane Grey a devoted student of Plato. This i{s Harrison's descrip- tion of Elizabeth’s court, and Harri- | son, let us remember, was a contem- porary of Knox. *“There are very few,” he says, of our courtiers [of both sexes] who have not the use and skill of sundry speeches, besides an excel- lent vein of writing beforetime not regarded. Truly it is a rare thing with us now to hear of a cour tier which hath but his own language. + + «» Many gentlewomen and ladies there are that, besides sound knowl- edge of the Greek and Latin tongues, are thereto no less skillful in the Span- ish, Italian and French. I am per suaded that as the noblemen and gen- tlemen do surmount in this behalf, so these come very little or nothing be- hind them for their parts; which in- dustry,” adds the worthy parson, “God continue and accomplish that which otherwise is wanting.” A Good Figure. Robert Herrick, the noted author, was talking at a luncheon in Chicago about literary figures. “Figures,” he said, “are only good when they illuminate, when they .un- derscore or italicize one's meaning. “As I passed a building operation the other day, I heard a foreman em- ploy an excellent figure. “‘What are ye doin’ up there, Smith?" he shouted from the pave ment. “‘Layin’ bricks, of course.’ “‘Well, by gosh!’ said the foreman, ‘from yer silence ye might be layin’ eggs.”” @ We thank you for the fine business of 1911, wish you a most prosperous New Year and solicit a continuance of your business; assuring you that it will ever be our aim to please you.
