BETWEEN SUNS Through the uplands and valleys of Pennsylvania, over the plains of the near west is a pleasant route to travel in the summer time. Espe- cially on a train of the high- est grade over a completely rock-ballasted roadbed. The perfect appointment of the train yields the maximum of enjoyment; the lay of the land insures the minimum of seasonal discomfort. The ‘Pennsylvania Spe- cial’ makes the run mostly in the cool of the evening and at night. This is the ideal time for travel. It is the business man’s closed period of the day. The “Pennsylvania Spe- cial" is in the highest respect the Busy Man's train, It runs in his idle hours while business rests, and delivers him when the trade of the day begins. Economy of time is the pith of an undertaking. The ‘Pennsylvania Spe- cial," the original 18-hour train, all-steel, perfectly ap- pointed, leaves Pennsylvania Station, one block from Broad- way at 32d Street 4.00 P. M. and arrives Chicago 8.55 next morning. It leaves Union Station, Chicago, 2.45 P. M. and arrives New York 9.40 A.M. next day.

A Rare Bird Two boys, finding themselves in pos- session of a half holiday, resolved to devote it to a gunning expedition, and so, borrowing a rusty old fowling- ce, they sallied forth and soon leit the town behind them. They were good boys, faithful attendants upon the Sunday-school. On their weary homeward way in the twilight, when they had given up all hope of bring- ing anything down, they suddenly espied a large bird on a neighboring tree. All excitement. the blunderbuss s rested on a fence and carefully imed and fired. To their inexpres- sible joy, the bird fell. As they were so near the town as to be in doubt whether their firing was not a breach of the law, it was deemed prudent for one of them to stand. sentry by the roadside in order to give the note of warning if need be, while the other climbed_the fence in search of the bird. The latter duty devolved on Tom, while Joe kept watch, Tom soon discovered the game, which proved to be an owl. The boy had never seen such a bird before, and as he observed its large round head, and grave, uncanny face, and contrasted its expanse of wings with its marked brevity of tail, he thought of those peculiar, celestial creatures, all head and wings, of which he had seen pic- tures, and was filled with superstitious awe. With uprising hair and pallid face, he rushed back to his waiting friend and gasped out the starting intelligence, “Joe, we've shot a cherubim !

At There are certain things which are necessary not only to the foundation of beauty but to its preservation, and without which beauty is imperfect and unenduring. The first of these necessaries is a soap that will protect the skin from the impairing influences of climate and atmosphere, and keep the com- plexion of a velvety softness and a sweet, peachlike bloom. The only soap that fully and com- pletely answers these requirements is Pears’ Soap which is both a skin soap and a beauty soap. It penetrates to the founda- tions of beauty and gives that natural stimulative force that keeps the skin in healthy action, without which the color fades and the cheeks become sallow, comicbooks.com
