Even at night I could not get easy and quiet . and would lie wide-awake, hardly able to sleep at all, and often just got up out of bed, I was so restless. Nerv ous headaches often came on me and , frequently lasted for days at a tim.e. Then I had rheumatism so bad in my joints I was almost helpless. My legs and elbows hurt fearfully and some . , times I just ached all over. There seemed to be no relief for me, my friends were all worried and I was almost disheartened. i’ ;'v "But, happily for me, one of my friends suggested thit I try Tanlac.

OLD FOX’S REVENGE | WHEN all the nuts were fixed to suit Grandpa Fox he put them away and brought "out some very fine. Mg radishes,' which. he carefully scooped out after cutting them in half,,, These he also filled with red pep per and glued together, touching the cut place with a bit of paint to cover the mark. When he had a good pile of them finished he looked at his work with a broad smile on his face and carried them in a pan to the pantry window, where it was nice and cool, so they would not wither. The next morning he was up long before the sun peeped through the Y&eo/’T/yose,, vova/jscmsA trees In the woods; in fact, he had been awake nearly all night, so he j might be the very first one up in the woods. Grandpa took his basket of nnts and poured them on the ground near his house back of a bush, as if he had hid den them there. The radishes he put In a basket and placed it under a tree and dropped his coat beside it so it would look as if he had Just been in the garden working. Then he sat down in the house by the window with a stick in his hand and waited. He did not have to wait long for the Squirrel brothers were always up bright and early and called for Tom mie Rabbit to come out and find some fun They came running along the path that led past the house where Grand pa Fox lived, when Billy Squirrel, wh6 was quicker than the others, ran into Grandpa’s yard. He spied the nuts and back he went as quick as a flash and told the news to the others. Tommie Rabbit did not care very much for the nuts, but he ran with Billy and his brother, and be spied the basket of radishes. Looking around all three of them made sure that Grandpa was not in sight, and then they took all the nuts and radishes they could carry, and from his window Grandpa pounded the sill with the big stick and shouted: “Drop those, you little rascals; drop them.” . Grandpa. Fox knew that was all that was needed to make them carry oft the nuts and radishes, so he pounded and called until they were out of sight “Stolen sweets are always the sweetest,” he said. “That may be true in some cases, but I’ll wager my pipe those youngsters will find out that Is not a true saying always.” And they did, for Billy Squirrel did not bother Grandpa Fox any more. Such sneezing was never heard In the woods before, even the chicken with the whooping cough did. not sneeze any harder, though they all found their heads and tails were, safe when it was over. Their mouths and throats ' were burned, too, and so for many days they suffered for their badness and now old Grandpa Fox can sit all day in the sun and no one bothers him. (Copyright.)

Italy received it and straightway changed it to Alberti. It is from this latter ‘that the feminine forms, Al berta and Albertine, were formed. The husband of the late Queen Vic toria. who bore the name of Albert, brought both the masculine and fem inine into great vogue in England. In deed, it has since been accepted as a national name.

For example, th§ use of the word “expect” in the following sen tence Is Incorrect: “I expect that your lessons are done.” The verb “ex pect” means “to look forward to as probable or certain; to await, to feel assured of something before it occurs; to anticipate;” ps, “I expect to go to church next Sunday, if the weather is fine.” Usually we use “expect” when we look forward to an event with in terest or desire. “One should not say, ‘I expect it is,’ still less, ‘I expect it was.’ We cannot expect the present or the past,” says one authority. “England expects that every man will do his duty," was the signal hoist ed by the famous British naval com mander, Lord Nelson, at the mast head of his- flagship, before engaging the French fleet In the battle off Trafalgar. ^ (Copyright.)
