1 inow this will interest a great many who are needing help. 1 bave suffered long and tried somuch to obtain help, I was willing to give-anything or do anything to find reilef. It was either that or stop all work. 1 had to work. I have a family to support and finally heard of Dr. Weber having great success in treating some of my friends and made up my mind I would would consult him. After examining me he gave me the welcome information that he could help me.

I treated with the Doctor several months, and he also fitted me with special glasses and the relief has been so great that to me it was a discovery a revelation. 1 never thought it possible that relief could be obtained from such suffering in headache, nervousness, dizziness, blind spells and inability to rest. All .the trouble has been cured by Dr. "VYrber, and 1 feel it my dutv to say so.

FINANCIAL GENIUS.

"Do you think there is any each thing as financial genius?" "I am sure there Is. I know a young man who has It In a marked degrees. After he had persuaded the beautiful daughter of one of our most prominent jewelers to become his wife he went around and Induced the old man to let him have an engagement ring at the cost price." "I don't see any Indication of remarkable financial genius about that." "Wait. When he and the girl broke their engagement he took the ring back to her father and got him to pay eight per cent, interest on the money that had been invested."

"Miss Gwendolen, they say you have won high honors In golf. Do you represent any ladies' athletic club or association?" "No, Mr. Ketchley I am entirely— er—unattached."

Can You Beat It?

He—So the engagement is off and Maud and Jack don't speak to each other. What caused the quarrel?

She—'Twas the silliest thing. They were talking about theirs being a case of love at first sight, and then got Into a fierce dispute as to which had seen the other first.

I Her BirthdayJ

At the age of sixteen, Miss Alleen Dustan was presented with a chicken. It was In a way a birthday present. She wanted something alive—something she could pet and call her very own. The pet was reared In the lap of luxury, the kitchen, the halls and several other places. In time he developed a crow, and in a short time he became a rooster.

At the age of nineteen Miss Alleen became Interested in the question of vivisection. She looked upon the practloe on birds and beasts as something horrible. She read and talked and protested until she had terrible dreams. She dreamed of seeing barearmed surgeons cutting the throat of her rooster to find out why he didn't sing instead of crow, and for two days afterwards she would Bhiver at the thought.

One day the four-year-old rooster wandered out on the highway. He was wallowing In the dust and keeping an eye out for grocer beys when an auto came speeding along. He started to fly, but was knocked down and run over. The young man In the machine had begun to laugh when a thrilling scream chased it away. Out of a nearby gate came a young lady with flying hair. Indeed, she had a hair-brush in one hand and a handglass in the other, but she dropped both and gathered up the flopping fowl. The rooster had a broken leg. "I—I did not see him." faltered the young man, and yet with an amused twinkle In his eyes. "But you should have seen him!" was retorted. "Do you think the highway is free only to you? You are either very careless or very heartless."

It was young Dr. George Clymer who had Just started In practice In the village. He had funds enough to keep an auto, and medicinal cheek enough to go skurrylng around in it as if he Jiad received a call from a man with a broken neck. This trip was one of his skurrles. While driving along, he was thinking how and when his first patient would come. He saw how seriously the girl took the affair, and he Introduced himself, and added that if any bones had been broken he would be happy to mend them free of cost. "It Is his right leg," she replied. "He may also have received internal injuries." "I trust not. I had thought of taking him to the office, where 1 have all the necessary appliances for setting broken limbs, but—" "You can bring your appliances and perform the operation here," commanded the owner of the rooster as she did her best to soothe the bird. "I will take him Into the house."

Doctor Clymer felt both amused and Insulted. The young lady was good looking. The family was wealthy. He was single and ready to fall in love. On the other hand, was his first patient to be a broken-legged rooster? Would that recommend him to the village? That was veterinary work, If work for anyone. No he would not go back and become surgeon to^i rooster. He entered his office and sat down to a medical book.

Tlng-a-Ung at the telephone. Half an hour had passed. "Is this Doctor Clymer?" "Yea." "This Is Miss Dustan. I thought you were coming right back. I am the owner of the rooster you ran over." "Yea, but I have a call from the country. A man has fallen four stories." "I can't help it if he has fallen 14. My rooster Is suffering tortures through your carelessness. I demand that you come at once—at once, sir!"

The doctor went. He arrived at the Dustan mansion to find the patient lying on his back on a sofa cushion in the library. His well leg was ele* vated—his other lying prone. His eyes were closed, and Miss Alleen was pale-faced and tearful.

It was a surgical operation soon over. The old rooster was game and made little trouble. A plaster of parls cast was not deemed necessary, but there were Instructions to be given as to the patient's diet and handling. The affairs of the house could go on just the same, and Mr. Dustan need not neglect his business In the city, but there should be no undue excitement. Complacency, serenity and good nursing would bring the rooster to both feet again la due time. Doctor Clymer was Introduced to the father and mother before he left. The mother was somewhat anxious about the oase the father winked at the doctor over the daughter's shoulder.

In the long weeks, running Into months, the doctor got a patient or two, but It was uphill work and he had become discouraged, when one afternoon, Miss Aileen's father said to him as they sat on the veranda: "Doctor, what Is a four-year-old rooster worth In cash?" "About 60 cents." "And your bill must be over a hundred dollars?" "I thought—thought we might make tt a family affair." "Oh, well, you young fellows must have your change. Go and ask Alleen what she thinks of it."

And when the question was propounded to her, ten minutes later, plie answered: "'Why, I've got to say yes, haven't 1? Suppose my rooster gets run over again and has another broken leg to set!"

MUTUALLY COMPLIMENTARY.

"You durned old pirate!" "For half a cent I'd flatten your nose all over your face, you blamed dock whailooper!" "You goggle-eyed, crooked-toothed, knock-kneed, flatpchested—" "You measly old bum! You moonedfaced, barrel-shaped, bow-legged—" "Close your face, you leathereklnned, long-nosed giraffe, or I'll—" "I'll drive your ugly head down into your thick neok If you say another word, you cheap skate, you vagabond, you disreputable old—" "You be gol durn, you walkin' funeral, you famine on stilts, you muttonhead, you—" "You're what's left of a oheap skate name Rick Stodgell!" "And you're the disfigured remains of a half-baked Idiot that used to be called Greasy Mullett!"

Then they shook hands and clapped each other on the back. They were two old friends that hadn't met for 15 years and were expressing their exuberant joy at seeing eaoh other again.

JOB WAS HIS:

Johnnie—Say, rplsber, a mtyi told me you wanted a reai bright boy. Merchant—Yes.

Johnnie—Well, I guess de Job's mine, my name Is Bright.

CAUSE TO BE PROUD.
