Attraction In Original Show
Window Setting.
"One touch of nature makes the
whole world akin," and to watch a
certain store w indow downtown loads
one to -believe an analogous conclu
sion might apply to iishinr, with the
bonds of sympathy perhaps only a
little less inclusive.
In the window is a miniature mill
pond:. On the bank a venerable
fisherman.- peacefully snoozes, and
now and then his floating, cork bobs
under ,',with a naturalness that , is
startling. Any mild spring day one
may find a fascinated group of men
Wistfully watching that cork. The
drowsy old man does not heed the
tug of the line, and it is too much
for the imagination of any man who
has ever felt the pull of a fish and
its wriggling resistance as the lift of
the pole draws it out. There is a
fraternal, sympathetic glance among
the men who stop there, sn.d when
they pass on each seems to wear a
reminiscent smil. Indianapolis

Antidote for Carbolic Acid.
The best antidote for carbolic acid
poisoning is flour and water. If roth
ing better is at band drink a little plain
water to weaken the acid, or still bet
ter, drink soapsuds if obtainable. If
flour is not handy, use magnesia, chalk,
soda, lime, whiting or new soap, or
knock . piece of plaster from the
wall, scrape, off the White outside coat
of lime, pound it fine, mix with milk
or water, and drink at once. Follow
with warm water or flaxseed tea. Of
course, call a physician at the earli
est possible moment.
