THE THIN AND WEAK
Ensy Wny for Them lo Oct Strong
nnd Fat.
To thin and weak James O'Donnell
has a word to say. Let them uso Sa
inose, tho wonderful flesh-forming food,
that is now so popular, and they will
soon be plumn nnd rcsy.
Samosc Is not an ordinary medicine;
it is a flesh-forming food that Is
adapted to the most delicate. Its tonic
effect glvos strength and health so
that after Its use for a short time, all
the flesh and fat produ.dn olarrents in
the food will be easily assimilated and
retained by the body.
Th largo Bale Druggist James O'Don
nell has had on Samosa since ho first
Introduced It In Washington, and the
wonderful results following its use
have made lilni such an enthusiastic
believer in its great merits, that he
civics his neisonal cuararieo to refund
the monev if Sanusa does not make
thin people fat and restore strength
and health.
When a gain In weight is notli ed
after Sanioss has been used for a week
or ten days, and health has Improved,
and you notice yourself growing strong
er, you certainly should feel more than
satisfied with what von havo received
from the small cost of 60c.

i
N the long ago tho Farly Queen was
very fond of tho wolves, and used
to glvo thorn many, things. Shu
iiKea mem so mucn, in fact, that she
gave them tho preference over olhui
animals.
Then ono day she heard something
Hint hurt her very much. Sho heard
that the wolves wero eating up boric of
tho other animals. So sho sent for the
King Wolf nnd asked him if it wero
true.
"Oh! no Indeed." said the King Wolf.
"We would nover to do such a thing ab
that. Wo know you want all the ani
mals to live, nnd so wo always help
them whenever wc can.
But somehow tho Queen did not qulto
bellevo tho old King Wolf, and so sno
decided to find out for herself. She
knew where there lived a dear little
family of lambs, and so she sent some

nothing would happen to them. Of
course, tho Queen knew that tho wolves
wero fond of tho lambs, and If they
ale any of tho animals It would be
them.
Her fairies tried very hard to find
tho wolves stealing the llttlo lambs,
but could never catch them at It. One
day. however, one of tho fairies camo

eyes, iota ner mat -ono ot me nine
lambs had been stolen.
The Queen was very ungry. and

GREEN EYES.
her oyos, told her that another llttlo
lamb had bocn stolen. This did not
Mirprlsu tho Queen this time, however,
fur she Just got Into her sleigh and
lodo to whore tho llttlo lamb lived.
Sho had brouglit ono of her magicians
illh her. and ho made) a careful study
cf the footpi hits which were In tho
t-now. Thoro was cnlv ono track, so
the Queen know that whatever animal
bad mado tho footprints v. us tho one
that had stolen the lambs.
When she got back to the palace sho
called till tho unimnls to her. Then
the ninglclan started to find out which
of the unlinul.1 made a print like tho
ones In tho snow. It wnsr.'t the cle-.
pliant, because It was not as' large as
Inn It wnsn't tho owl, because ho had
claws, and the prints did not bww
uuy.
Ah each nnlmnl proved that It
wnsn't his. ho was free to go. After
a whllo thcro was only the Hon, the
leopard, and tho wolf left and tho
magician could not tell which of tho
three It was. Then some one, said to
got more snow and mako each put
his foot In It, and the ono which
matched that near tho lamb's house
would he the one they woro looking
for. This was sucli a good Idea that
tho magician wont himself for the
snow.
Ho got threo llttlo bowls full, and
told each of tho animals left to put
ono of their feet In it. Tho lion walk
ed up nnd put his in. and then the
leopard, but the wolf did not want to.
But tho Queen ordered him to, and so
ho finally did. And there, as plain
as could be, was the exact match of
the prints near tho lamb's house.
"What have you to say for your
self?" asked tho angry Queen.
"Only that It was not T," replied
the Wilf. still hoping to get out of It
by lying.
"It Is bad enough to steal, but to
lie in addition Is too much," the Queen
said. And as she said it she touched
each of tho wolf's eyes with her
magic wand. As soon as sho did they
turned from dark brown to light
green, nnd shone as If they were
lights.
"Now." the Queen told tho wolf,
"jour eyes can always be seen. They
will shine like two lights, and so be
a warning to all the animals. No
matter how softly you may tread,
your eyes will tell the animals you
are near."
And so after that the wolves have
always had bright green eyes, that
can.be seen in the darkness, when the
animal' body is Invisible"!
