Log Cabin Success
What ails the young men?


 Robert Garrett's father left him a fort unc of twenty millions. He was from child hood reared in luxury; he received splen- did education with an especial training into thorough knowledge of railroad manage ment and was expected to succeed his father as railroad king.
 WitRln three years after the responsibili- ties which his fathers death threw spon him were assumed, he is reported a broken down man, with mind and health perma- nently shattered.
 George Law Is another young man left with millions of money. who is reported among the ''wrecks." His father, bred a stone-mason, was of gigantic size and strength, with commensurate brain power. so he became a great contractor, then a railroad king and left half dozen millions for his son to dissipate. The young man is a success as dissipator.
 The founders of both of these great es. tates were born in the most humble walks of life. grew strong, mentally and physical ly, by simple living and honest labor and developed intotinancial giants. Their sons were reared in the lap of luxury and devel- eped into intellectual pigmies.
 The great men of our country have not, as a rule, come from the elegant mansions
 
 rural districts Simple ways of living, freedom from dissipation and enervating pleasures, simple remedies for disease, eff fectiye and which leave no poison m the system, develop brawny, brainy men, who compel the world to recognize their strength and power.
 The wholesome, old fashioned Log Cabin remedies are the safest and surest for fam fly use Our grandmothers knew how to prepare the teas and syrups of roots, herbs and balsams which drive disease out of the system by natural methods and leave no after Ill effects The most potent of these old time remedies were, after long and searching investigation, secured by H. H. Warner of safe cure fame, and are now put out for the " healing of the nations lr the Warner S Log Cabin remedies.
 Regulate the regulator with Warner s Log Cabin sarsaparilla and with pure blood g1vlng health, strength, mental and bodily vlgor, you may hope to cope successfully with the most gigantic financial problems of the age, without wrecking health and manhood

I Cm glad to say, from a long personal eX- perence with ALLCocK' : POROUS PLAsTERS, that l am able to endorse all the good things that have ever been said about them, and supplement these by saying that 1 frankly believe their value can not be estimated. Their breadth of usefulness Is unlimited, and for prompt and sure relief to almost every ache and pain that flesh is heir to, no other remedy, in my opinion, either ex- ternal or internal, equals them in certainty and rapidity. have used them at one time for rheumatism, another for backache, again for bronchitis, always with the same resuIt-a speedy cure.

Something About the More Interesting
 Members of the Latter's Family.
 The pigeon, except as it's made q thing of beauty O. grotesqaenes, by the artist breeder, or is enlisted in man 5 service or for his sport, holds but little to interest. But the dove attracts att tcntion from the traditions and super stitions by which we know Of it through all the past, and because of its intelligence and its pretty, curious ways.
 The turtle-dove is tho best known of the family. Of this there is the com mon; the collared; q cross of the two which is nameless, although resem- bling neither and reproducing it's own pcculiarities: and the white, which is a spot from the collared.
 The common is ia TortreHe ot ButTon It is English, and although plentiful is not well known. Where other birds suffer from the harrier and the gunner, a superstition protects this. Every English lad knows that: "Molest thc'turtle-dove or disturb its nest, and the death Of the dearest will < 1e sure before the year is done.o The plumage of M T0WtercHe is of 8 rich dark brown and black above; the underfeathering of reddish brown at the throat, shading to lawn beneath. The wing coverts are black, tipped with brown. The peculiar marking is patch of rich, velvcty, white tipped black feathers at each side of the throat, but which do not appear until after the first mott.
 The collared turtle or laughing dove is usually catalogued as the ring -dove, but this name belongs by right to the 'cushie doc, Orquest, the largest of the European doves. The collared turtle, despite its mournful note, is the inter- esting member of the family; and, with it's presence indicative of good luck and prosperity, it is welcome guest everywhere, but especially among the middle and lower classes of Great Britain and Germany. Old mothers tell of it as d charm for ill., ness if hung in the patients presence. borne out by the fact that the bird, naturally sensitive to atmospheric in- fuences, quickly suecumbs to the close air o. the sick-room, when it is said to have taken the disease.h If the pa- tient recovers, the bird has the credit; if death ensues, it was inevitable nothing could have helped.

GENTLEMAN jim.

Handsome Of face AND stout of limb,
Coarse in dress; but some hing in him.
Whether down ia the coal mine, solid and grim
Or wanderi' g alone In holiday time,

He had no sweetheart, he had no wife,
Some mighty sorrow had dimmed his life
His earnings hardly won, and small,
Were aye at the orphans and widows call

He was the friend of all living things,
And now & along in those toi some ways,
He wore the demeanor Of gentler days.

Ben cath the Iimbers stood &c stleman Jim;
WI giant gr sp he flung two OF tie boys
Clear of M danger with deafening noise
The shaft gave way on every side;
The boys were safe, but Jim-he cted;
Died as men die, and W II die again,
Giving their lives for their fellow men.

And Jim borne up to tle II hit Of day,

THE BIRTH OF THE OPAL.

But the Hoonbeam fed and hid her head
She was 80 shy-so shy.
The Sunbeam wooed with passion,
All he WAS Z lover Id,
And his hear was afire with mad desire
For the Moon Ot am pale and cold.
She fed like dream before him,
Her hair W a shining sheen;
And, oh, that ate would annihilste
The space that lay between.
Just as the Day lay painting
In The arms of ihe Twilight dim,
The Sunbeam caught the one he sought
And drew her close to him.
HBut out of his warm arms startled,
And stirred b, lives tlrst ehocs,
She sprang afraid, Ike trembling maid,
Ana hi In the niche Of rocE.
And the Sunbeam followed and n her,
And led her TO loves own feast,
And they were wed on that rocky bed,
Ano the dying Day WAS their priest.

Where the Mosn anu sun blend into one,

man to whistle for his dinner, and If q bill

will. Even an ordinary musician could

while the waiter Is taking half krest.
Then the bar is alwsys handy and But,
you see, there's 90 limit TO this sort of
thing, and it's easier to compose whole
