INDIAN SUM M e r.

Among the quaint old traditions
And Indian legends Wild,
lie one of the "Indlan Summer"
The Autumn's most beautiful child.
1t tells OF the summer queen calling
On Autumn 10 reign for time,
While sue goes TO find In the Southland
A SUMMER, tropical cline.
H.
Then I'm Autumn turn calls her daughters,
Three maidens OF royal degree,
And DIS each to bide for a season, -
And share In her bounty so tree.
Ii tells how the mantle OF beauty
On gladsoms September is shed.
And glowing aud gorgeous October,
Comes flaming In orange aud red.
III.
The sun seems TO shine with new luster,
The sky takes ret fairer hue,
Earth, air and sea are all wing
To honor the stay OF these two.
But when comes the sad-eyed November,
In garments OF somberest gray.
She finds naught that's JOYOUS or lovely
To brighten her sorrowful way.
w.
The last autumn flower has vanished
The last bird has sung his adieu,
The hills and the valleys are barren,
The sunbeams are feeble and few,
The glory ami glow OF the forest,
Are gone like vanishing dream,
In place OF The gold, and the scarlet
But gray, naked branches are seen.
V.
Great tear-drops are silently falling
From out OF the sorrowing skies;
The wind in the shiycring tree-tops
In dreariest monotone signs,
And sad-eyed November despairs,
More sad, aud more pale, grows each day,
Yet utters no sound of repining,
But longs for the end OF her stay.
".
Then Auium observing the maiden
Is Sun item with grief and distress,
She prays 10 the gods OF the seasons
To aid her In making redress.
The sun heard the earnest petition
Came forth In his glory and pride
The clouds we're all speedily banished.
The lingering tear drops were dried.
VII
He went to the cave of the morning
And brought themes a fabric so fair,
So misty, so flcecy, so flowing.
Twas fit for n goddess TO wear,
He begged for the skies bending DER him,
A shade Of their own lovely blue;
Then me lowed aud mixed ii with sunshine,
This artist, so matches and true.
VIII.
Then just ere he passes the portals.
The bright glowing gates OF the west,
He covers she earth with this mantle,
Then leaves II TO silence aud rest,
And then on the following morning,
The queen called November to see
All dtaDed Ia this exquisite garment,
Where hilltop and valley aud tree.
lX
Enraptuied she gazed on the landscape,
Her sp flts grew light as the air;
And now, all agree in declaring
The maiden Is lovely and fair,
And thus, with the years rolling onward,
Each dreary November days
All softeued with mellowest sunshine
Aud clothed in heaven-wrought haze.
Y.
And so IL will be- ave, aud forever;
White wears run TO ages the same,
And that's how that child OF the Autumn,
The Indian summer came.

Give them a Chance.

That is to say, your lungs. Also
all your breathing machinery. Very
wonderful machinery it is. Not on
ly the larger air-passages, but the
thousands Of little tubes and cayi-
ties leading from them.
When these are clogged and
choked with matter which ought
not to be there, your lungs cannot
half do their work. And what they
do. they cannot do well.
Call it cold, cough, Group, pneu-
monia, catarrh, consumption or any
OF the family Of throat and nose and
head and lung Instructions, all are
bad. All ought to be got rid Of.
There is just one sure way to get rid
of them. That is to take Bochee's
German Syrup, which any druggist
win sell you at IS cents a bottle.
Even if everything else has failed
YOU, you may depend upon this for
certain.
