] HTs Reason. '/ The village postmaster and ome of 'the leading politicians were holding an earnest conversation near the en- trance of the post office. Perched upon the steps a street urchin was drinking in every word of the discussion, when the pastor of one of ‘the village churches came out of the building. - Recognizing in the urchin one of his 'Sunday school boys, he called him aside and began: “John, it is wrong, very wrong, of yoy to try to pry into the affairs of others.. Don’t you know ‘that it is impolite to listen to the 'conversation of grown ups?” “Sure, 1 know it is impolite,” re- plied Johnnie, “put it is all right this ‘time, ‘cause Deacon Smith, sald he'd \glve me a quarter if I found out what jthem two men were talking about.” One 6f Dumas’ Sentences, The prize for the longest tence jever written may fairly be awarded {to the elder Dumas, Who ‘probably Iholds a further record for fertility {ot production.

A “‘Mahm’' is better,” declared an- other, e “‘Why not ‘Muggum? ” said one who inclined to the facetious. And they grew quite heated about it. “Why, of course it's ‘Mawm!""” “Rats—Iit's ‘Mawum!"" “No!—'Mahm!"

Finally the walking dictionary took from his pocket a cigarette. “I'm a great smoker,” he remarked. “Yes, I'm a great smoker—great smoker. I'm one of those mnervous men, you know; one of those high- strung, restless fellows who always must have something in their mouths, Yes, you see, I'm so nervous, as I said, that I simply must, yes—must— have something all the time in my mouth.” Those Who Woen, The man who put “Floredora” on the American stage is bankrupt.

William Clyde Fitch, who doesn’t use his first name, has about as little of the traditional sensitiveness to fail- ures as it is possible for a generally successful dramatist to get along with. He talks “The Straight Road” with all tue enthusiasm that he brings to a reminiscence of “Beau Brummell,” and he has no objection to telling you of mirth that has been made at his own expense. “I always had faith in my historical play, ‘Nathan Hale,’ which, you may remember, we put on during the Span- 1sh war,” he said, recently. “I believe in that play, but nobody else seems al- whether by the bag-or barrel the most e€co-. nomical for together to agree with me. “I recall with not a little pain how I sat in the almost empty theater during one of its productions. “Beside me at the time was one of the best-known, ablest and also frank- est dramatio critics in New York, and to him I was trying to ease my mind. “‘I think,’ I said, ‘that we have put this play on at the wrong time.

Why Physicians Recommend Castoria ASTORIA has met with pronounced favor on the part of physicians, C pharmaceutical societies and medical authorities. Itis used by physi- cians with results most gratifying. The extended use of Castoria is unquestionably the result of three facts : First{—The indisputable evidence that it is harmless: Second—That it not only allays stomach pains and quiets the nerves, but assimilates the food: Third—Itis an agreeable and perfect substitute for Castor Oil. It is absolutely safe. It does not con- tain any Opium, Morphine, or other narcotic and does not stupefy. Itis unlike Soothing .Syrups, Bateman'’s Drops, Godirey’s Cordial,etc. Thisisa good deal for a Medical Journal to say. Our duty, however, is to expose danger and record the means of ‘advancing health. The day for poisoning innocent children through greed or ignorance ought to end. To our knowl- edge, Castoria is a remedy which produces composure and health, by regulating the system—not by stupefying it—and our readers are entitled to the information.—Hall's Journal of Health. ; : ¢ Letters from Prominent Physicians Addressed to Chas.

GENUINE CASTORIA Bears the Signature of Exact Copy of Wrapper, ? Dr. W. L. Leister, of Rogers, Ark., says : “ As a practicing phy- sician I use Castoria and like it very much.” Dr. W. T. Seeley, of Amity, N. Y., says: ‘I have used your Cas- toria for several years in my practice and have found it a safe and reliable remedy.” Dr. Raymond M. Evarts, of Santa W¥nez, Cal, says: “ After using your Castoria for children for yeurs it annoys me greatly to have an ignorant druggist substitute some- thing else, especially to the pa- tient’s disadvantage, asin this case, I enclose herewith the wrapper of the imitation.” Dr. R. M. Ward, of Kansas City, Mo., says : ‘‘ Physicians generally do not prescribe proprietary prepa- rations, but in the case of Castoria my experienoe, like that of many other physicians, has taught me o make an exception. I. prescribe ‘your Castoria in my practice be- cause I have found it to be a thor- oughly reliable remedy for chil- dren’s complaints. Any physician who has raised a family, as I have, will join me in heartiest recom- mendation of Castoria.” Dr. W. F. Wallace, of Bradford, N. H,, says: T use your Castoria in my practice, and in my family.” Dr. Wm. J. McCrann, of Omaha, Neb., says : ** As the father of thir- teen children I certainly know something about your great medi- cine and aside from my own family experience, I have, in my years of practice, found Castoria & popular and efficient remedy ,l.n almost every home.” Dr. Howard James, of New York, City, says : ‘It is with great pleas- ure that I desire to testify to the medicinal vittue of your Castoria. T have used it with marked benefit in the case of my own daughter, and have obtained excellent results from its administration to other children in my practice.” Dr. J. R. Clausen, of Philadel- phia, Pa., says : “The name that your Castoria has made for itself in the tens of thousands of homes blessed by the presence « { children, scarcely needs to be supplemented by the endorsement of the medical profession, but I, for one, most heartily endorse it and believe it an excellens remedy.” Dr. B. Halstead Soott, of Chica~ go, IlL, says : “I have prescribed your Castoria often for infants during my practice and find it very satisfactory.” Dr. William Belmont, of Cleve- land, Ohfo, says : “ Your Castoria stands first in its class. In my thirty years of practice I can say I never have found anything that so filled the place.” Dr. R. J. Hamlen, of Detroit, Mich., says : I prescribe your Cas- toria extensively as I have never found anything to equal it for chil- dren's troubles. I am aware that there are imitations in the field, but I always see that my patients get Fletcher's.” Dr. Channing H. Cook, of Baint Louis, Mo., says: “I have used your Castoria for several years past inmy own {amily and have always found it thoroughly efficient and never objected to by ochildren, which is a great consideratien in view of the fact that most medi- cines of this character are obnox- ious and therefore difficult of ad- ministration. As a laxative I consider it the peer of anything that I ever prescribed.” Dr. L. 0. Morgan, of 8o, Amboy, N.J. suys: “I prescribe your Casto- ria every day for children who are suffering from conetipation, with better effect than I receive from any other combination of druge.” Dr. H. J. Taft, of Brooklyn, N. Y., says: ‘I have used your Casto- ria and found it an excellent remedy in my household and priv- ate practice for many years., The formula is excellent.” Dr. Wm. L. Bosserman, of Buf- falo, N. Y., says: “I am pleased to speak & good word for your Casto- ria. T think so highly of it that T not only recommend it to othe's, but have used it in my own family.” Dr. F. H. Kyle, of St. Paul, Minn., says : “It affords me plea- sure to add my name to the long list of those who have used and now endorse your Castoria. The fact of the ingredients being known through the printing of the formuis on the wrapper is ome good and sufficient reason for the recom- mendation of say physicisn. I know of its good gualities and re- commend it oheerfully.” ASK YOUR PHYSICI
