from Jackson, Sunday evening, was
assailed with rocks, near Washington
station. A number Of the passengers
were hit and badly injured, among
them little daughter Of our towns

When a man is we'll nd sound he
can afford to be Indifferent to the
character of all the medicine in the
world. But when disease is fairly
eating him up he must do something
at once and do it intelligently.
Therefore do not dose yourself with a

of them may hit the mark, but try
DIR. David Kennedy's "Favorite Rem

Kidney and Liver troubles, Piles and
Constipation, it is just what you want.

A MORNING GLORY.

A MORNING GLORY.
BY GEORGE MACDONALD MA1R
field with wild grass overgrown,
Tangled and rank, and dusty weeds
Der winding path AMI rock-waste strown-
The harvest OF wind waited seeds
And wound around Jagged mass
OF loamy soil and hssured stone.
Its green leaves traiied in dust and grass,
A single morning glory shone.
nce-plaRted by the careless wind
And left to summer skies to nurse,
1t seemed type unto my mind.
And claimed the homage of a verse.
Sweet flower in that wild solitude
Around thee noXious weeds eatwtne-
So once the God incarnate stood
Amid u sadder waste than thine.
So living fragments of His speech
Divineiy given to again
Thrill through the centuries In their reacn,
And sink into the hearts of men.
And into lives all dark and dread
And hlighted with the weeds OF sin
The living words His heralds spread
Take root and grow and bloom with1n
Fair emblem of unfaltering trust,
So might our lives be. If we would
But let His beauty veil our dust:

breakfast which consisted Of coffee, baker,
bread and birds, which they had cooked on

filled with boiling coffee sitting On lot OF
rocks, beneath which there was good fire,
and were using oyster cans for cups. The
officers marched them to Justice Edwards
court, where they were tried for vagrancy,
and all of them were convicted but three. of
which two of them were mere lads. The
others were lodged in Jail to await trans
portation to the poor farm. They are a
seedy looking set. and yet they appeared to
enjoy the best of health. One of those con-
