THE COLBORNE EXPRESS, COLBORNE, ONT., THURSDAY, APRIL' IS, HER FAT WAS A BURDEN Now She is Quite Slender Here is another case where the trim, slim figure of youth has displaced the coarse, fat outline of middle-age. It •j a housekeeper writing. She says: -- • "I cannot say what weight I was, but I was very fat--a burden to myself. I have taken three bottles of Kruschen Salts and now I am quite slender. I am 5G turned and people take me for 40. I am more than proud of myself. You can take it from me that every word of this is true. I took a teaspoonful in hot water every morning till I used three bottles. Now I only take half a teaspoonful each morning. I cannot recommend the Kruschen Salts enough, for they are worth their weight in gold."--(Mrs.) fc. H. j For generations, wealthy over-weight people have been visiting those European Spas whose waters are recognized for their reducing effect. It is 'called "taking the cure." Now the formula of Kruschen represents the jngredient salts of the mineral waters from those far-famed Spas. These Baits combat the cause of fat by assisting the internal organs to perform their functions properly--to throw off 'iach day those waste products and jpoisons which, if allowed to accumulate, will be converted by the body's chemistry into fatty tissue. Amusing Anecdotes Of Famous People The visit of William Butler Yeats, fee Irish poet and playwright, re-Wnds me that well over forty years •go, W. E. Henley was leader and fionfidant of a brilliant coterie of k>ung poets, including Kipling, Oscar Wilde, Yeats and Dowson. f "I think we listened to him," recalls Yeats in his autobiography, "and Often obeyed him, partly because he Was quite plainly not upon the side jpdE our- parents. I wrote my first ess-ays for the 'National Observers' [(which Henley edited). He often reprised my lyrics, crossing out a line or a stanza and writing in one of his j>wn, and I was comforted by the belief that he also rewrote Kipling, then in his first flood of popularity." - Ernest Dowson, poet of tragic ftiemory, when living at a Normandy [village, got into a fight with a local baker and was arrested. A deputation jwent to the magistrate and pointed out that Monsieur Dowson was one- of *Le most illustrious of English poets, j "Quite right to remind me," said -the magistrate. "I will imprison the {baker instead." And he did! Oscar Wilde, with some friends, Unas once lunching at the Cheshire 'Cheese, in Fleet street--the "favorite (Tavern of old Dr. Johnson." He was in prime form. Hun.or, tales, epigram, flowed from his lips, and his [listeners sat spellbound under his influence. Suddenly in the midst of one of his most entertaining stories, bis wife broke in: f "Oh, Oscar, did you remember to call for Cyril's boots?" As an illustration" of how distinguished men, out of power, no longer interest people, Chauncey Depew used to tell how one day he happened to meet ex-President Hayes in front of 'a fruit display of a well-known grocery establishment. Turning to the grocerymsn, Mr. Depew said: I "That is ex-President Hayes. Don't you want to meet him?" The groceryman replied: "I am not interested in him, but I have the finest collection of pears in the city and want to sell you some." "I remember," says Judge Parry (in .".What the Judge Thought"), "long ago on a Sunday afternon, a little (child in a nursery, whose sole Sabbath reading was 'Time Upon Time'-- 'an undramatic version of the Old Testament--was discovered by her elder sitting on the hearthrug weeping ais if her heart would break- For 'a long time she refused to tell her 'grief, but at length, in answer to the tender questions of her parents, she 'sobbed out the mournful news: I "'Oh, mummy, Aaron's dead!'" And here's another--told by Pert Ridge: | A little girl went to say with her ■ aunt, and gravely watched her saying her prayers upon the first morning. When the aunt rose to her feet again the child said: • "Auntie, do you say your prayers v as well a; + Do You Know? + So They Say: "If you wish to win the sympathy of broad masses then you must tell them the crudest and most stupid things."-- Adolf Hitler. "In a certain measure I am remarkably like the rest of the English. I believe in hope."--Rudyard Kipling. "Those who are faithful to me in misfortune help me to bear up."--Ex-Wi Hi elm. "For stan 1.

He had a traveling spittoon--a contraption with a pedal--whic/i he took with him everywhere. When he wished to emphasize a point, bang-would go the pedal followed by a well-aimed expectoration." "During his (the Ambassador's) Moscow visit," continued Lockhart, "he was responsible for a story which deserves to rank with Dumas' account of the loving couple plighting their troth under the shade of the 'Kliukva' (cranberry) ! One afternoon Norman Armour, the efficient secretary of the American Embassy, came into the Ambassador's room. " 'Governor,' he said, 'would you like to go to the opera tonight?' " 'Nope,' was the reply; T think I'll play poker-' " 'Do come, Governor,' said Armour. 'You really ought not to miss it. It's Evgenie Onegin.' " 'Evgenny what?' said the Ambas- "'Oh! you know,' replied Armour. 'Pushkin and' Chaikowski.' "There was a crash from the pedal of the spittoon.

"In those days," he saids, "Gorki used to tell a good story of Chaliapin. In their youth the two men were tramping the Volga district in search of work. At Kazan a travelling im-pressario was looking for local talent to supplement his chorus. He wanted a tenor and a bass.

Mr. Lockhart says 'that the Ambassador "was a kind ok: ptible to flat and s ailov. ledge anything fice and were given an audition. The impressario took the tenor and rejected the bass. The tenor wt.s Gorki-The bass was Chaliapin." That the late Vladimir de Pach-mann, brilliant but erratic pianist, cherished for Paderewski a "curious feeling of intense jealousy" was revealed by Edward W. Bok in one of his books ("Perhaps I am") in his One evening de Pachmann was at a table in a hotel dining room with his fellow artists, Bachaus and Rosenthal, when the latter saw the manager of Paderewski was passing by. He hailed him and asked: "How came you here?" "I am with Paderewski," was the reply. "We have been dining in his suite upstairs." De Pachmann had just deposited a spoonful of soup in his mouth. When he heard the remark, he jumped up, spat out the soup, gave the tablecloth a vigorous pull and landed dishes on his guests and the floor and shrieked "Don't eat that food. Don't eat it." The dining room was in an uproar, the haad-waiter ran to the table, while da Pachmann, wildly gesticulating, "If he is here, there's poison in my soup and he has paid for it." Nothing that could be said or done by his friends could quieten the excited artist. Olive Schreine-'s famous novel, "The Story of an African Farm," was written in part, at least, while she was employed as a governess in a South African homestead. When finished, the manuscript was sent tc English friends, who returned it with a recommendation from an Edinburgh publisher, that it should be "cut down considerable." She entirely rewrote it and in 1881 went with it to England. There it came under the advisement of George Meredith as reader for a London publishing house and was accepted and published as the work of "Ralph Iron" •--her nom de plume- She met. Meredith only once. A rumor afterward got about that he had helped her with the book. It was quite untrue and caused the authoress much pain. --John W.
