God bless the noble working men,
Who rear the cities Of the plain,
Who dig the mines, who build the ships
And drive the commerce of the main.
God bless them, for their tOiling banda
Have wrought the glory Of all | ,nds.
ROGERS COLD.
A Literal and Circumstantial Local Mar
| alive.
From the San Francisco Argonaut.
Rogers was Enthusiastically ill.
The choir was to practice its Eater tunes
in Burkeley chapel, and rosy checked
young woman from Puget Sound needed an
escort. Of course he would 60. Every
one SAID in a breath: What lovely even
ing" Some lady laughed at the idea of
shawl. In the city Rogers never ventured
out after dark without his overcoat, but in
balmy Burkeley-and only for once!
The choir sat long over its les son. The
rosy checked Puget Soundine was good
listener, but then Rogers was not much of
talker, and conversation tagged. Per-
haps the music made Rogers devotional,
and the devoutness drowsy. At any rate
he dropped into doZe, and awoke to hear
himself saying, in voice fully equal to the
little reed organs loudest octaves, now
hushed: "The climate of the SOU is said
to be delightful in summer; is it true?"
Of course there had been draught. De-
:votion without draughts would be relig-

oped in his chest IN alarming ightness,
and disagreeable huskiness in his throat

you. Rogers''

go and see DR.. Healwater; make no
mistake about it, and waste no time"
That was the advice of Jenkyns. Rogers
valued Jenkyn's advice. He disliked doc
tors on principle, but liked DR.. Healwater
because they were both fishermen. So he
went.
II don't like it all, " said The doctor. "Of
course, can't tell about your lungs till the
local irritation disappears. Go to Burnett's
and get this. Take it four times day in a
little water. Come back in four days and
III test your lungs"
Four days later Rogers walked out of Dr.
Healwaters office wearing the longest face
he had worn for years. The doctor had as
sured him that his lungs were seriously ef-
fected, and that the climate of San Francis
co wouldn't do for him any longer.

about that latitude, and stay there till you re
strong again. Take plenty of out door ex-
ercise, but don't exert yourself violently,
or attempt any hard work. Take plenty of
nourishing food, and drink halfa pint of
cream day."
GIVE consumption and am ordered out
of the city; must 60 into the country, do
no hard work and drink cream"
Rogers was talking to Zulano, who
glared at him over his conceited looking
eye glasses.
Il wish my doctor wonld order me into
thu COW countries" said he. "But how
are you going to live?"
He didn't particu ,arize anything ex
cept the cream"
II mean, how are you going to ear
enough to pay your board!"
| I'm, ne dldn tell me that.
"Well, 1 don't think there's anything the
matter with you-only a cold. Go into the
country for week or so, and then come
back and go to work like a man of
sense"
Rogers went out of that cynical presence
deeply wounded. But he had other friends.
The sympathy of lovely woman had
never yet failed him. He would go home
sna tell the family.
II was afraid of this" said mother. "
She was not his real mother, but one of
the half dozen married women
who petted and spoiled and made much
too much--of him. Yes, was afraid of
this. You must begin to take 'vitalized
air at once. Here is the nome of the prep
paration. Wakelee will tell you all about it.
You'll remember, won't your"
That was on the Oakland boat. On the
train he met his friend Oscar Just in from
Portland. Ore. ''Well you a1e sick and no
nonsense. Consumption? I'm not so sure of
that; you're in bad way, tho ugh, you must
have lung pad. Farnsworth tried one,
after he had pneumonia in Bodie, and it
brought him out all right. You'll buy one
now, won't you at once?" .-
Poor boy! I know just how you feel.

But he is mistaken in saying you must 90
20 the hills. I was cured of just such a
state of yours by spending three weeks at
Santa Cruz. fused to sit and lie in the hot
sand, and feel the salt of the sea breeze at
first hand. The heat of the sand draws the
congestion away from the lungs into the
feet as nothing else can. Promise me
you'll try it," ..e... ...-. ~ :
1t was Aunt Mary Dunlap who spoke.
There were several persons in the room,
and Rogers was quite hero. They crowded
around, and rendered him condolences and
advice In most charming manner.
I'm SO sorry for you. Have you ever
tried cod liver oil and malt? Mrs. De Lacey
was quite far gone in consumption when
she heard of it, and now she is about well. l"
but the thing have the most conf
dence in is sun baths and salt. Eat all the
salt you can and sit in the sun all you can.
If you could have room with glass over
it, where you could be quite nude now"
Port wine-good port wine and eggs,
with plenty of chicken soup and exercise,
is what you need"
did you ever try rubbing your chest
with croton oil, and drink lime water and
milk? It cured my sister,"
1t was long chapter and Rogers forgot
the rest; but then it seemed that if he re.
membered all it ought to help him some
They were all very kind to him for several
days, and some Of his friends came over
the bay to cheer him up bit. Among them
came his friend Jack Hubbard, and this was
Jacks advice:
| you ought to get married at once, man.
Do you remember Mullie-and joe?
Well. they were both thought to be con-
| sumptive before they we're married. Look
at them now! Is there a healthier looking
couple in 'Frisco?"
Many letters came; among them one from
his own mother and one from his sweet
heart. II think you ought to try my rem
edy, half glass Of milk with half glass
of syrup wrote his mother.
AUNT Packard says you must eat roasted
lemons and very rare steaks twice q day. y
wrote his sweetheart.
Rogers purchased just $3.50 worth of
medicines and remedies. His trip to Santa
Cruz cost him $50. His trip into the Sier-
"a foot hills cost him nearly twice as much.
