a Bow on Breathing. y

County Superintendent of In
struction Flick ran across the fol-
loving the other day while travel
ling in the State. A boy fourteen
years old, recently imported from
Kentucky, handed it in as a compo.
sltion on "Breathing" The in
struction was, "Tell all about
breathing" lie said:
"Breath is made Of air. We
breathe with our lungs, our lights,
our liver and kidneys. If 1t wasn't
for our breath we would die when
we slept. Our breath keeps the
life agoing through the nose when
we are asleep. Boys that stop in
a room all day should not brethe.
They should wait till they go ont
doors. Boys in room make bad
Wholesome air. They make car
Donicide. CarbOnicide is pOisOner
than mad-dog. A heap of soldiers
was in a black hole in India and a
carbonicIde got into that hole and
killed nearly every one before
morning. Girls kills the braeth

diagram. Girls can't boiler or run
like boys because their diagram IS
squeezed to much. If | was girl
I'd rather be a boy so | can boiler

Mr.. Flick says that boys was
given 100.

"Auother wonderful discovery
has been made and that too by a
lady in this county. Disease ias-
tened its clutches upon her and for
seven years she withstoOd its Sc
verest tests, but her vital organs
we're undermined and death seem
ed imminent. For three months
she coughed necessarily and could
not sleep. She bought of us a bot
tie of DR. Kings New Discovery for
Consumption and was so much re
lieved on taking first dose that she
slept all night and with one bottle
has been miracnlously cured. Her
name is Mrs. Luther Lutz." Thus

A young lady who was told that she was
lmost n mOnomaniac IN her hatred to
lcoholic drinks wrote the following
Words:
Co. feel what have felt
Go, hear what have borne;
Sink meath a blow father dealt
And the cold, proud worlds scorn,
That struggle on from year to year,
Thy sole relief, the scalding tear.
Go, weep as haye wept
O'er loved fathers fall
See every cherished promise swept,
Youths sweetness turned to gall
Hopes faded flowers strewed all the
way
That led me mp to woman's day.
Go, kneel as have knelt,
Implore, bescech, and pray;
Strive the besotted heart to melt,
The downward course to stay
BE east with bitter curse aside,
Thy prayers burlesqued, thy tears
deiied.
Go, stand where have stood,
And see the strong man bow,
With gnashing teeth, lips bathed in
blood,
And cold and hvid brow;
Go, catch his wondering glance, and
see
There mirrored his souls misery.
Go, hear what have heard,
Tho sobs Of sad despair.
As memory's feeling fount hath stirred,
And ITS revealings there
II ave told HIM what he might have
been
Had he the d runkard's fate foreseen.
Go to my mothers side,
And her crushed spirit cheer,
Thine own deep anguish hide,
Wipe from her cheek the tear
Mark her dimmed eyes, her furrowed
brow,
The gray that strcaks her dark hair
now.
Her toil-worn frame, her trembling
limbs,
And trace the ruin back to him
Whose pighted faith in carly youth
Promised eternal love and truth,
But who, forsworn, hath yielded up
This promise to the deadly cup.
And led her down, from love and light
From all that made her pathway
right,
And chained here there mid want
and strife,
That lowly thing, q DR. unkard's wife
And stamped on chill oh Gods brow Sc
mild
That with'ring blight, druukard''
child.
Go. hear and see and feel and know
All that my soul hath felt and known;
Then look within the wine-cup's glow
See il it's brightness can atone
Think if its flavor you would try,
II all proclaimed, otis drink and die
Tell me hate the bowl
Hate is a feeble word
loathc, abhor my very soul
BY strong disgust in stirred,
Whene'er see or hear or tell
OF the dark beverage Of hell.

counted the events of LincOln's early

write on "The Grand Strategy OF the War;
KENN1N on SIBERIA.
Except the Life Of Lincoln and the War
Articles, no more important series has ever
been undertaken by THE CENTURY than
this of Mr.. Remnants. With the previous
preparation of fonryears' travel and study
in Russia and Siberia, the author under
took a journey of 1900 miles for the
special investigation here required An
introduction from the Russian Minister of
the Interior admitted him to the princi-
nal mines and Prisons, where he became
acquainted with some three hundred State
exiles, -Liberals, Nihilists, and Others
and the series will be startling as well
as accurate revelation of the exile system.

photographer, Mr.. George A, Frost, who
