the citizens OF the District OF Columbia without
cause or prOvOcatiOn."
At the conclusion OF the reading OF the paper,

tain it.

On, yes, my son, good name is more
to be desired than great riches, because
it insures the riches. So long your
name is good, your paper is bankable
without any other mans endorsement.
But it takes a giltedged signature to be
good in the eyes of the cashier in these
days, my boy. And rember that fair
to middling" name isn't good, not by a
long shot, And tolerably good " name
isn't any good, any more than "tolera

was at home reading how a hunter killed a
savage animal, one morning, when Herbert
Royce came along and took me to see our
cousins, the Bronsons. Also Annie must go;
she never would be left behind peaceaby.
There are some fine shade trees in front of
the house, elm rather think most of them are,
and we went there and played at blind man
buff a long time. You would have laughed to
see the effort Annie made to keep away from
Ernest; and to hear Herbert cry out in that
feigned voice "Ha, ha! Guess who," would
puzzle wise men of the East only less than
Nebuchadnezzar' dream.

The half was never told of the wonder
full powers and virtues of that best of all
medicines, Kidney-Wort. 1t has been
triedsand proved. Its cures are number
less and the record of (supposed) incur
able cases that have yielded to its influ'

with your kidneys, liver or bowels, If you
suffer from constipation and piles, if you
are victim of rheumatism or malaria
take Kidney-Wort. You will find it the
remedy you need.

Upon a showery night and still,
without sound Of warning,
A trooper band surprised the hill,
And held 1t In the morning.
We were not walked by bugle-notes,
No cheer our dreams invaded
And yet, at dawn, their yellow coats
On the green slopes paraded.
We careless folk the deed forgot;
Till one day, idly walking,
We marked upon the self-same spot
A crowd Of veterans talking.
They shook their trembling heads and gray
With pride and noiseless laughter
When, well-a-day they blew away,
And meier were heard of after Selected.
