DANTE'S INFERNO.
One of the Boys Thinks He Is a
Poet and ESSAYS to Prove 1t.

Poet and Essays to Prove 1t.
In the early part of winter,
The winter of 'SS.
When the snow was flying blizzard
And the passenger trains were late;
In town called Park River. near Conway,
In the land of that warlike tribe
They caH the fierce '.Dakotas,'
CHANGED one day to arrive.
l struck the hotel for supper
And then played game OF ''sinch."
Expecting next morning my trade TO see,
And some good sales to elinch,
And afterwards, on the selfsame day,
To get train going south
To Conway, the hub of that section,
Where the crops had not suffered from
drouth.
But alas. my calculations
Were far from being fulfilled,
For on next morning early
My pet ambition was chilled;
~ train coming up this morning"
Was the word from that digntary,
The smiling depot agent.
Whose face can now plainly see,
As with much regret he told me,
That the train was stuck in the snow
In a cut near a town called Inkster,
About eighteen miles below.
Well, the echo that came with that answer
Methinks can hear it still;
And whenever il comes to my memory,
1t freezes my nerves with chill.
q been having pretty good streak OF luck
For week or two before,
And thought when the year was ended,
My competitors would feel sore.
But who can tell the future?
Or who can predict success,
In that land where they have no fences
And the snow is five feet or less!
Not even the immortal Shakespeare,
Nor Milton, with all his lore,
Nor the man who grappled the lightning
And has gone to that other shore;
Nor that modest poet they call Burns,
Whose sayings are handed down,
Could imagine the movements of Knight
of the Grip"
In the average Dakota town.
Well, to make long story short one,
Five days | stayed in the town,
Where learned the name of each farmer
For twenty miles around.
The clerk, whose witty sayings
And mimics of the negro race,
Helped to cheer the tedious hours
With laugh and song and grimaee,
Had at one time been butcher
think on the '.Kankakee,'
And no man could keep a crowd alive
More than half as we'll as he.
But still the hours passed slowly
Where no man could use his grip
And where the train is abandoned
Rang out from every lip.
Well, to conclude this poetry 90
The train is at Larry More
And the word ''she is still in a snowdrift, -
Is voiced from door to door,
But if ever / strike this town again
When the wintry wind doth blow,
And when the locomotive
Is head and ears in snow,
May be banished to Iowa,
Or some other ''hide-b bound state
Where drummers have to pay a license
And the trains are always late

Nasal Voices, oatarrh and False
Teeth"

A prominent English woman says
the American women all have high,
shrill, nasal voices and false teeth
Americans don't like the constant
twitting they get about this nasal
twang, and yet 1t is fact caused by
our dry stimulating atmosphere, and
the universal presence of catarrhal
difficulties.
But why should so many of our
women have false teeth
That more of a poser TO the English.
1t is quite impossible to account for
il except on the theory of deranged
stomach action caused by imprudence
in eating and by want of regular ex-
errise.
Both condition are unnatural.
Catarrhal trouble everywhere pre-
walls and end in cough and consump-
ton, which are promoted by mall
nutrition induced by deranged stom-
ach action. The condition is mod
ern one, one unknown to our ances-
tors who prevented the catarrh, cold,
cough and consumption by abundant
and regular use of what Is now
known as Warmers Log Cabin Cough
aud Consumption Remedy and Log
Goblin Sarsaparilla, two old fashioned
standard remedies handed down from
our ancestors, and now exclusively
put forth under the strongest guaran-
tees of purity and efficacy by the
world famed makers of Warmers
safe cure. These two remedies plen-
tifully used as the spring and sum-
mer seasons advance give positive
assurance of freedom, both from cat
arrh and those dreadful and if neg
lected, inevitable consequences, pneu-
monia, lung troubles and consump-
ton, which so generally and fatally
prevail among our people.
Comrade Eli Fisher, of Salem,
Henry Co., Iowa, served four years
in the late war and contracted a dis
ease called consumption by the doc
tors. lie had frequent hemorrhages.
After using Warmers Log Cabin
Cough and Consumption remedy,
he says, under date of Jan. 18th,
1888: 81 do not bleed at the lungs
any more, my cough does not broth
er me, and i do not have any more
spells" Warmers Log
Cabin Rose Cream cured his wife of
,atarr h and she is "sound and WELL"
OF course we do not like to have
our women called nose takers and
alse teeth owners, but these condi-
AN be readily overcome IN the man
Ter indicated.

BEREAVEMENT IN soII1oauY


Mothers farewell thoughts, TO Maggie Pyle
deceased.(
Farewell, darling Maggie, wen see thee no
more!
Thy bark has set sail for the echoless shore,
our fondest affections lie bleeding and torn,
Since to the dark tomb thou vast tcnderly
borne.
Though heart-griefs now stir the deep foun-
tain of tears,
Hope whispers away all our doubtings and
fears,
Faith spans the dark valley and peers through
tho gloom,
To the land that invites thee beyond the dark
tomb.
Thy childhood, 30 guileless, 50 stainless ana
pure,
Wen fondly remember while life shall endure,
Thine innocent laugh and thy musical voice.
Now sweeten our sorrows and make us rejoice
Thy teacher and schoolmate are sad when
they see
Thy seat in the school-room, still yacantf or
thee,
They'll cherish thy name in the list of theiI
friends
Till memory ia des and this life-struggle ends
Mid things that are sacred thy name is EN-
balmed-
Such sweet recollcctions the tempest has
calmed-
In hopeless bereavement no more will we
grleve
But, into His keeping, our darling we leave.
Thy temples will throb now with fever no
more,
Thy feet will tread ever the sorrowless shore,
Thy fingers will sweep through the octave q di-
vine,
And the anthems and songs OF the angels be
thine.
While melodies ring through the bowers above
Attuned to the chords of redemption and love,
Methinks stray chorus may tremble along
Down the deep, vaulted blue, as part of thy
song.
Sometimes we would listen perhaps to note
Or a symphony soft on the ether anoat.
As il 1t were struggling to fall on our ears
From thy far-away mansion, to dry mp our
tears.
I know you'n abe waiting and watching for
me-"
With nil the bright angels, from suffering free,
Dur mourning will cease and our grief VIII
grow dumb
When we think thou art gone "from theevii
to come"
ny loved ones will often repair to thy grave,
md think OF the brightness thy brief living |
gave,
While hope will rekindle and faith will take
wing
o meet thee, in thought, where the cheru-
bin sing.

Pancakes in Variety.

On cold winter mornings pan cakes
of all kinds hold an important place
at the breakfast table. The cherished
buckwheat cake, most prominent OF
all, from Thanksgiving Day until
early Spring is seldom absent from
the morning meal in the genuine
American household. When proper
ly made, this is the most delicious of
all the griddle cakes, but it has been

President Cleveland's application
for a life policy has been rejected by
a leading New York company. The
exact reason has not been made pub
lie. About all that can be learned is
that the President wished to take out

negotiations with the agent here
The medical examiner put the dis
tinguished applicant through the
usual searching ordeal, and reported
that he could not recommend the
risk. The agent therefore reluctant
