Huerta losing his eyesight! Let us hope he can still see the handwriting on the wall. Man wants but little here below, and he finds ft in his bank account when he gets back to the cfty. President Wilson's idea of rest ing seems to be to take a short trip with a suit case full of official business. As a big game hunter Col.

DRUGGIST GIVES MONEY BACK Dodson's Liver Tone Gets a Four Square Guarantee Prom the . Smith Drug Store. When an article is sold a druggst who is willing to give it his personal guarantee, it is mighty strong proot of real merit. That's exactly the case with Dod son's Liver Tone. It's a pleasant-tasting vegetable remedy for a slow and sluggish liver. Since Dodson's Liver Tone came on the market the sale of calomel has gone 'way down. The reason is simply this: Dodson's Liv er Tone is safe and harmless and guar anteed to oe satisfactory Calomel is often uncertain, sometimes dangerous, and no druggest wants to guarantee that it won't knock you out of a day's day's work and maybe send you to bed. The Smith Drug Co., Sells Dodson's Liver Tone and guarantees it. .For you and for your children, it's a good thing to keep a bottle alway in the house. The Smith Drug Co., will give you your money back if you think Dod son's Liver Tone is not worth the price. "Keep your liver working and your liver will not keep you from working," is good advice to govby. For Tired Feet.

A wooden-legged duck lives and thrives at Airvault, a little village in Bordeaux, France. At a recent meet ing of the local natural history so ciety, the chairman told of the duck which had its leg crushed in a stable door.

While Eyron was in Ravenna, Italy, he adopted strange habits. It was his custom to rise at two in the afternoon, breakfast and ride, and dine at six. Then he would sit and talk Until five or six in the morning. Or, if no com pany were there, he would write a bit of "Don Juan." But his life was like that of Aubrey Beardsley up side down the day was the night. Bachelors and Matrons. A dilettante told me yesterday: "I prefer black and white sketches by a clever artist to his finished paint ings. They leave more to my imagina tion which is a better traveler than any painter's brush." For the same reason, the bachelor interests matrons more than married men do. He, too, is unfinished; and every woman likes to imagine what she might have made of him or what she may. Rene Laldlaw in Smart Set. 8lep of Plants. Stahl, a German botanist who gave his attention to the attitude of the leaves of plants during the day as compared with their attitude in the night, noted that many plants take such a position for the night that their leaves can transpire easily and at the same time be sheltered from the dew.

Takes His Vacation in THIS $ Th) Of A A GREEN ribbon of grass edges each side of a double car track up Capitol hill way. There are big, leafy trees that make shady spots for chil dren to play under, and always near ly always there Is a breeze. Every morning a man comes with a splint rocker and a pipe and props himself under a tree. He gets there about the time the birds are awake and stays until a small boy comes and takes him away. That means break fast. - ' As soon as that is done with the man is back under a tree with a morn ing paper. And there, in the comfy coolness of crash trousers and a china Bilk shirt with no collar and a leather thong belt to keep himself together, he smokes and reads and talks with whoever happens-along, until the small boy who bosses him shows up at lunch time and pilots the way to home across the street. All afternoon, Eleven Dogs and a Crow WHEN the fire bell sounds and the engines and trucks go dashing up the street, nearly always there will be seen, running and barking before the steeds, a playful and intelligent dog. There are 11 such mascots in the local fire department, and they are Just aboufas proud as can be; for In a day or two Tax Collector Rogers will Issue to them, without cost, bright, new, glittering tags. These dogs are the most intelligent and best trained canines in the city. They are faith ful to their masters, and, needless to say, the firemen love them. There are Tom, and Rags, and Bell, and - Nell, and Jack, and Teddy, and Bubbles, and Nig, and Billikin, and Nell, and Minnie. Among the most Interesting of these is Jack, a black-and-white bulldog, belonging to En gine Company No. 7, In R street North west, between Ninth and Tenth streets. And Jack hag a companion a black one, and a very strange one, too a crow, named Jerry. , Now, some persons would naturally conclude that there was not much peace in a place where a crow and a bulldog were put together that is, not until after some feathers had come out and some crow had disap pearedbut such is not the case at No 7. Jack and Jerry are the best PLANS BABY-SAYING CAMPAIGN Probably the most complete report of what is being done in this country to save babies ever Issued by the government is embodied In a 100-page pamphlet by Julia C.

Rocker 'on Capitol Hill until dinner, the man reada magazines and smokes and dozes, and moves bis chair to a fresh shade-spot whenever the sun gets around to him, and, once in awhile, takes looks at the grass and white clover and dropped oak leaves through a magnifying lens. In the evening he comes back to the trees with a coat over his shirt and a collar and tie. And a cigar. Later on, his wife and the small boy come over for a Visit and the neighbors drift out with chairs and camp stools, while odds and ends of children play all around. After they have laughed and chattered the clock around to bed time, the wife and small son; and the neighbors and the babies drift back to where they came from, but the man stays on and on until he has the night to himself. The sky full of stars and the bits of cool breezes, and the silence, and the darkness streaked now and then with whizzing cars. What about it? Oh, nothing, only The man is taking his two-week va cation with pay. Before this, he has always gone to Atlantic City and come home broke, and so dead tired from overstrenuous efforts to enjoy himself that he couldn't get in working trim for a month. This year he figured that what he most wanted was a rest. Tou can't get rest at a seashore resort. Special Pets of Firemen of friends, and play with each other day after day without ever getting into a scrap. Jerry was presented to the firemen about a month ago by a friend, and la now possibly three months old. The crow's wings were clipped at first, but now it is unnecessary, for Jerry loves his home, and has no intention of leav ing unexpectedly. The bird does just about as it pleases; files around the neighborhood, struts proudly up the street, makes visits to the neighbors, ahd plays with pigeons, cats, and dogs. But alas! with all its precociousness, the bird is a kleptomaniac. The other day one of the firemen took off his collar and necktie and laid them on the window sill. Jerry came along, grab bed the gaudy tie, and soared skyward. The fireman has been looking for the neckwear ever since. Nearly every day the crow -goes on plundering ex peditions in the neighborhood, seiz ing any edibles he can lay claw to. followed by bulletins Issued at inter and distributed nationally, in order thai each other. MR. J. HAD NOT FORGOTTEN Sister-ln-Lav Unnecessarily Worried Over Safe Keeping of Jug He Had Left With Her. "Can you take care of this?" .asked Mr. J. of his sister-in-law, as he gave her a three-gallon jug in one of the downtown stores where she works, at noon One day. "Certainly," was the reply, and Mr. J. left the store. Closing time came, but Mr. J. had not returned. Then six o'clock, but still no Mr. J. The sister-in-law was getting anxious. She desired to go home, but still felt it her duty to wait until Mr. J. returned for the jug. Then seven 'oclock and still no Mr. J. "I won't wait any longer," she said to herself, and went to the intemr ban station, where she checked the jug over night, thinking Mr. J. would call her home later by phone and she could tell him where to get it. The next day the young woman received a long-distance call from her sister in a nearby town. "How did you like the plum juice ? Did it make nice jelly ?" "Plum juice! Why, I have no plum juice!" "Why, didn't Mr. J. leave a" And then she knew. The jug con tained plum juice and had been in tended as a gift." Indianapolis News. IN THE LAND OF HEAVY RAIN What the Monsoon Means to India May Be Judged by This Brief Description. At this time of year one generally has to choose between the deluge and the Turkish bath. The latter is pre vailing at present, and we are all feeling like the bird in the cookery book after it has been subjected to the recipe which says : "Take an old hen, tie up in muslin, and boil for six hours." However, we are really glad to have an opportunity of dry ing our property, all of which be came absolutely saturated with damp during the three weeks of almost in cessant rain which we had commenc ing from the last week in May. Mushrooms and fungus of all de scriptions have been flourishing apace, especially on our shoe3 and books, and a picture of the surround ing country might easily have passed for a snap shot taken from the win dows of the ark. Every tank is filled to overflowing, and every ditch forms a happy hunting ground for the "chokra boys," who show a most reprehensible tendency to build dams under all the culverts, which is most excellent for fishing, but it hardly the best way ' in xthe world to promote rapid drainage. Calcutta English man. " SPANISH FISHERIES DECLINE. For ages past the fishing industry of Spain has been an important means of livelihood to the inhabi tants. Especially in the northwest ern part of the Iberian Feninsula have the inhabitants from time im memorial been great fishermen. In former times the industry was so extensive that the catch of cod and other fish in the North sea was suf ficient to supply the needs of the entire country, and no fish were imported from aoroad. However, the fishermAi were driven from these fishing grounds, and with this loss commenced the decadence of the Spanish fishing industry. The center of the fishing industry is now located especially in the provinces of Lugo, Santander, Coruna and Bilbao. THE IDEA I "How is your new maid?"
