Dakota to raise money for the ''home

to erect at Mitchell. He rode up t1

A EMORY.

The morning stars were growing pale,
But still We slept, as soldiers sleep
Who know not fear, deep In the vale
Between the mountains dark and steep.
A quiet brooded DER the camp,
And not a cloud was in the sky,
With soothing dew our brows were damp
A sweet bret z famed US tenderly
IL may have been a mocklpg bird,
Low thrilling TO the dawDing day,
Blu every veteran dres IN 81 he heard
His love sing as he sleeping lay.
Some loves were wives and maidens some,
And some were mothers sweet and fair;
Ard some were children left a. home
Without a mothers tender care.
Bat al how mourpful WAS that strain,
That low, sad SONG in dreaming ears,
IL rose and fell, and rose IL ssin,
And died as IL in sobs and tears.
Then brayed the trumpet, clashed the drum
Fall in" Up sprang we al rs one,
Bullets like ices began TO hum,
And warm red blood like win 10 run.
On which side fought we, shall | sayt
1--WE fought so hard, with hearts so trueD
We may have won the stainless Gray,
Or Loyalty the precious Blue.
Some fell, some lived, and all were brave
Fc all had heard the love song that morn,
On oman weeping by q grave,
golden dream to tatters torn.
What, without love. is victory worth.
What Is defeat II love is wont
Hearts OF the South, hearts of the North.
Throb louder than the drum or u

Physicians east are calling attention
70 the danger Of kissing the lips of any
one who has dice from a malignant
disease such rs scarlet fever or diph-
liberia. A little girl in New York is
seriously i'll through kissing her grand
father, who was suffering from diph-
liberia, and her brother, to whom she
communicated the poison, has died.
Complete isolation of the patient is the
only safeguard in such oases.

DIR. Foote's Health Monthly A
Glasgow physician tells of a patient
who was troubled with foul eructions,
the odor Of the gas coming from his
stomach being disagreeable to himself
and all about him. Once his breath
caught fire from a lighted match COM
ing near the mouth; doubtless due to
the development of carbureted hydro.
gen in a very disordered stomach.
Now that the country is so prolific in
useful gas wells, men stomachs can be
devoted to better purposes than de-
veloping their own illuminating gas.

THE CHURCH COUGHEH.
Hear the loud alarum cough

Hear the loud alarum cough
Wheezy cough
or the peacc-disturbing creature who sits of
In corner OF the church
Far beyond the anxious search
or the interrupted preachers wearied eyes,
For each rasping, gasping note
From the cougher's brazen throat
Comes like omen of disaster
TO the half-despairlng pastor,
Whose hopes sink fast and faster
AS he sighs.
Then the cougher,
Worse than scoiTcr,
AS though seeming not to tryit
Breaks again the sacred quiet
With q racking, hacking coughing that
shakes the very floor,
Until the startled people
Who sit beneath the steeple
Begin to wonder dimly If the thing could
topple o'er.
But the cougher so outrageous
Knows that coughing is contagious,
And he rasps and gasps and wheezes,
And he coughs and sniffs and sneezes,
Until his imitators can be numbered by the
score
Then he rubs his hands and gloats
As the awful clamor floats
OF the coughing and the wheeling,
And the smiling and the sncezlng,
Till the preacher, In despair,
Offers up q hurried prayer,
And the congregation madly rushes for the
open air.

DUFFY'S PURE MALT JYJIISKEY
Clear Your Throat.

tiear bOur lHrOat.
eyes, sir, human fog hornsl Why,
il animals made the same unearthly
noises men often do on the streets, they
would frighten the multitude"
The speaker referred to the painful
effort men make-and women, toto
relieve their throats Of the hard, chok-
ing accumulations which dam up the
air passages to the lungs and "red
lane" to the stomach. These throat
noises, varied with wheeling, sneezing,
hawking, coughing are danger signals
which indicate the presence, in the
midst of these delicate organs, of bron-
chial, cartahrral or asthmatic troubles,
and are often the outbursts of intlamed
lungs in the incipiency of consump-
tion. Can't we be warned in time, and
instead of sepulchral tones of disease
speak out, clearly, hopefully and
strong? The best medical authorities
recommend alcoholic stimuli in the
treatment of diseases of the throat and
lungs, which means pure stimulant, of
course. Pure stimulant means that
which is absolutely free from fusel oil.
Duffy Pure Malt Whiskey is the only
absolutely pure whisley in the world,
the proprietors of which are the dis
coverers of process which eliminates
all poisonous Ingredients, and combin-
ing food and stimulant quality, it is
prescribed as medicine by physicians
everywhere.
17G Z. s5TH STREET, NEW YORK, N. Y.
Dear SirS-l am compelled to say that
the effect of your formula, with your
Dufry's Pure Malt Whiskey, has been far
beyond my expectations. | have strong
and positive faith, and have it upon the
fact that, since taking your whiskey, have
been almost completely relieved from
ASTHMA.
Yours respectfully,
