the boy whom they had saved from the
almshouse had cone back just in time

Mother Gibbons brought out her most
dainty knick-knacks to tempt the appe-
tite of the sick man. That they were
no ordinary tramps their scrupulously-
clean. well-mended though threadbare
garments testified. The man told sad
story of an old home in Pennsylvania
which had been forsaken for the rolling
prairies Of the great West; of the mis-
fortunes that had robbed him of his
small es tate and swept his wife and
children into the grave. After five
years of helpless struggling in the new
country he was going back to die among
his own kindred and leave his little
Jack in the care of his own people.
In the morning the family was aroused
by the cries of the child who understood
enough to know that the white, stiff
form by his side was lfeless.
Poor papa is dead" he sobbed, as
Mr.. Gibbons and his wife came hurry
ing downstairs. The boy was right
the stranger had died alone and unat-
tended while they slept.
A coffin was provided at the expense
of the township, and the next morning
a few of the neighbors followed the hum
bic dead to u grave in quiet corner in
the church-yard.
Before the day was over Mr.. Gibbons
wrote to an uncle whose address little
Jack was able 10 give, but it was weeks
before u reply came, and then the only
satisfaction obtained was: 81 have a

within a week of each other, leaving
the old folks childless and almost pen-

hastened to the old farmhouse. and

Nor hear the sound of the bugle-blaSt
Nor call of the rolling drum
So still they lie in their dreaming,
The hearts that were wont to beat,
Ready to rise and answer
To hurry on eager feet,
BY day or nighttime, in rain or sun.
Through valley, or field, or street;
Ready to meet the summons,
Ready to come or so;
To march in the scorchng heat and dust,
Or halt in the binding snow:
To spring half awake, from dreams of home,
To the sabre thrust of the foe;
Ready to yield. not strength alone,
And the hands Keen willing art,
But all of the sweet, full life God gave
Not only tithe or part,
But all to their duty,
Asking body. and brain, and heart.
What memories throng as we pause and stand
Where flowers on these graves are thrown,
While all about us the sunlight streams
And the breath of the May is blown
From warm green valleys whose ripened grass
In drifted swaths is mown.
What dreams come tous. . . All far away
Is the martial clang and tread
Far far, is the sound Of the clashing steel,
OF the charge, in mad triumph led;
The pain, the passion the tumult wild
For these are the peaceful dead.
Their flags are folded or idly float
To the sweet caress Of the wind
The flags that pressed through the bullet
storm,
While a million OF souls behind
Followed stcadfast and fatered not.
Like the thought of one mighty mind.

deep prayers;
Yet the tender tears we shed
BY these grassy mounds. where the heroes sleep
With the blue sky overhead,
Are so bright with blessing, so touched with
light,
They might answer for smiles instead.
We dream Of the soldier brave But we
dream
or the men, who were loved and dear;
OF the unkisSed kisses, the vows unkept,
The passionate, homesick tear;
The human yearning the whispered prayer
That no one but God could hear;
OF tired slecpers, with boyish brows
Dew-drcnchcd in the starlit air;
Of blotted letters, and true-lovc rings,
And the pictures of women fair
Hidden close in those stalwart breasts
With a lovers jealous care
Our hearts beat fast with the beating drum
Swell high with the music's strain,
For love, that is ever life's theme of song,
The sweetcr through loss and pain
For love, that lasts over strife and war,
While the years and the ages wane.
Bring fowersfor the world is abloom
Like a garden grown anew;
There are willing hands at the tender toll,
There are hearts long tried and true
And flowers enough for the boys in gray
AS well as the boys in blue.
The task is cnded-the twilight falls,
The sounds Of the day decrease;
Yet not with the silence OF shout and song
Can the palms of our glory cease;
We have Strcwn the breasts of our noble dead
With the blossoms of lasting peace

This is Meant for You.

It has been Truly said that half the world
does not know how the other half lives.
Comparatively few Of us have perfect
health, owing to the impure condition of
our blood. But we rub along from day to
to our attention, of the thousands all about
us who are suffering from scrofula, salt
rheum and other serious blood disorders,
and whose agonies can only be imagined.
The marked success of Hoods Sarsaparil-
la for these troubles, as shown in our adj
vertising columns frequently, certainly
seems to justify urging the use of this ex-
cellent medicine by all who know. that
their blood is disordered. Every claim i'm
behalf of Hoods Sarsaparilla is fully
backed up by what the medicine has done
and is still doing, and when its proprietors
urge it's merits and it's use upon all who
