LOVE.

rTis said that such a thing as love. true love;
lis said its glorified essence dwells above;
Gut that here through earth its rivers run
And simmer and CLEAN meath moon and sun,
And gladden. and water, yea. every one
This beautiful river of love.
I wonder il have heard the song it sings'
I've heard, know, but my best loved ones took
wings.
Yet earth. and sky, and bird, and song,
Teach me TO love though they are gone,
Tor everything in the world is borne
Over the river of love,
But love of lore, delightfully."- new and strange,
Il that which fastcns two hearts, nor knows
change,
The wears they come and the years they so;
The tides they ebb, and the tides they flow;
Yet this love increasing doth stronger grow
wonderful river of love-
wonder who shall love as well as this,
Whose heart shall teach my heart to thrill with
biss2
Wonder and wonder, for know well
That loves sweet waters within me swell,
And my heart shall yet with some others dwell
Beside the river of love.
@ where does he live? What is his name? My
love-
o when shall see his manly form? Ny love.
I should lcte him now if knew him mine;
And weave his name in my homely rhyme,
And flowers of beauty plant and twine
Over the river Of love.
Come, love Of mine, My heart awaits thy
tonct.
Thy lips, thy voice, must first awake its blush'
The flowers and blossoms vigil keep
Waiting zone the breath to lear
And adorn ith blossoms, and bud, and leaf
The glorious river of love.

The Novel Way In Which Three Girls

sought the outside platform. They had gone
but few steps when the weighing machine
caught their sight. After a careful inspec-

the owner o. the unSlccessiul button was
inspired with thought, end after a long
delay in finding her pocket, she ished out q
8 cent piece, pencil and a card. Armed
with these she again stepped upon the plat

bystanders-and dropped in the nickel. The
indicator quickly whlrled around TO 1875. She
did not move, but put No. 135 on the card,
then said: 'Step up here, Ethel" Ethel

The number was put on the card, and Sarah

AYELLow FEVER MICROBES.
Look Like sugarcane Joints and
Billions Inhabit a Drop Of Blood.

A yellow fever microbe has the appearance
ofthree joints Of sugareane, said physician to
writer for the Macon Telegraph. got them
from Washington in glass tube that some
what resembles a gourd. The tiny microbes
are placed in the big end, but by looking at 1t
you could never tell that there was anything
but air in it. The small end is sealed up and
the microbes are in there, though apparently
dead. Some microbes live in such places for
20 years. We will suppose now that we want
to look at some of them under the microscope.
Upon the little glass slide we put drop of
gelatine of the consistency that will not run.
We take a cambria needle, and after heating
it to destroy all microbes that may be in the
air, we quickly break the seal Of the glass
tube and insert the needle. drawing it out
quickly and resealing the neck of the tube
We insert the needle in the drop Of gelatine
on the slide and quickly put on the little cover
to shut such germs or microbes that may be
floating about in the air. Then we place the
slide under the microscope. In As minutes the
microbes have fully aroused from their Kip
Van Wrinkle sleep, and now you see what
curious things they are AS / said before,
they resemble three joints Of sugarcane, but
the joints are not straight, but at opposite
angles, Take this fellow, for instance, ami
you see q Joint drops OH, leaving MIN with
two joints Presently another Joint Joins on to
the dropped joint, and by this time third
joint appears on No. l. Now look at No. 2
and there is a third joint Now a Joint drops
from No. l, and by the time 1t gains another
joint No. 2, drops joint, and this, with the
joint from No. 8, join together, and there is
microbe No. 1. Another joint grows on Nos.
and 2, and one drops from No. 3, and these,
joining together, make microbe No. A, and so
they go until the little drop Of geiatine Is a
working. seething mass OF microbes. Now
these microbes are in the blood of a yello
fever patient, and there's where they live.
They get into blood corpuscle and eat out
all the red part as darkey eats out the red
meat of a watermelon. and the blood Is then
a drop of clear fluid. To give you an idea Of
how many can crowd into a corpuscle of blood,
let me say that 1t takes 800 corpuscles strung
together to make an inch. Well, you can
string Just 10000 microbes across the diam
eter of one corpuscle, consequently you can
guess billions after billions Of microbes In a
drop of blood. The theory is that these mic
robes eat up ones blood so rapidly as to take
1t all away from him In q very short time.
Some men can stand the letting gilmore blood
than others. and consequently some men re-
cover from yellow fever
