A few days ago Colonel Mason sent
q letter to Mayor Smith complaining
that q hotel-keeper across the river
lTC n Smelling was keeping gambling
den az which the soldiers were being
deeced, and asked that the house be
closed. The matter was given atten-

mado that gambling had full swing
within stones throw of Colonel Ma

A representative of your paper

Talking of patent medicines
You know the old prejudice.

Talking Of patent medicines
you know the old prejudice.
And the doctors-some of
them are between you and US.
They would like you to think
that what's cured thousands
won't cure you. You'd be-
lieve in patent medicines if
they didn't profess to cure
e0syytA1ng-and so, between
the experiments Of doctors.
and the experiments Of patent
medicines that are sold only
because there's money in. the
stuff" you lose faith in every
thing.
And. you can't always. tell
the prescription that cures by
what you read in the papers.
So, perhaps, there's no better
way to sell a remedy, than to
tell the truth about it. and
take the risk Of its doing just
what it processes to do.
That's what the Worlds
Dispensary Medical Associa-
ton, of Buffalo, N. Y, does
with
DR.. Pierce's
Golden Medical Discovery,
Favorite Prescription,
Pleasant Pellets, and
DR.. Sage's Catarrh Remedy.
If they don't do what their
makers say they'll do--you
get your money back.

Oh, Is It Death that comes

Oh, Is It Death that comes
To steal a glance at LIES dread goal?
Tonight the planets and the stars
VIII giimmer through my window bars
But will not shine upon my soul.
For shall lie as dead,
Though yet am above the ground;
All passionless, with scarce . breath,
With hands OF rest and eyes OF death.
Ishall be dead to sight and sound.
Or IL my life should break
The idle night with doubtful CLEANS
Through messy arches will go.
Through arches numerous and low,
kAnd scan the true and false ia dreams
Why should fall asleepl
When am still upon my bed,
The moon will shine, the winds will rise. .
And all around and through the skies
The light clouds travel DER my head.
@, busy, busy things!
To mock me with your ceaseless life.
For all the hidden springs will flow,
And all the blades OF grass will grow,
1 When know neither peace nor strife.
And all the long night through,
The restless streams will hurry by:
And around the lands, with endless roar,
The white waves fall upon the shore,
And bit by bit devour the deep.
Even thus. but silently,
Eternity, thy tide shall fiow,
And side by side with every star
Thy long drawn swell shall bear me far.
An idle boat with none to row.
My senses fail with sleep;
My hear, beats thick; the night Is noon,
And family through fits misty folds
hear drowsy clock that holds
Its converse with the morning moon.
Oh. solemn mystery!
That l should be so closely bound
With neither terror nor constrainL
Without murmur OF complaint
And lose myself to all around.
