BEFORE THE WINTER FIRE.

Ha, Christmas Eve. my heart is light;
Great logs redly cleaning.
The old brass and irons polished bright,
Lead me on to dreaming.
No doubt my wild ambition curbs,
As high my thoughts aspire;
No rowing care my dream disturbs
Before the winter fire.
A castle build I---fair but frail---
With postern-gate and walls;
A moment my strange fancies fail,
And down my castle falls.
Another rear ! in its place,
And then of building tire:
/ muse upon a lovely face
Before the winter fire.
The smoke like a black curtain drops,
And wraps my thoughts in gloom;
Then rises. In the andiron tops
l see a lengthy room,
With dancers moving to and tro
To sounds that Joy inspire
A picture oflong, long ago
Before the winter fire.
These andirons of hundred years
Call Christmas revels back;
Gone are all sorrows grief and tears
That time leaves in its track.
The years have fled and left no trace
Upon this magic pyre,
For what to me is time or space
Before the winter fire?
They dance the stately minuct,
With step sedate and slow;
That I am dreaming l forget,
And to the dancers go.
/ stretch my hands to II fair dance.
Then faded my DESIRE
only watch the flying flame
before the winter fire.

''SElGHDoRs GIVE YOUR BOYS A HANcE

Elne0 Just right

Fned just right
Liver, Stomach, and Bowels, by
Dr.. Picrce's Pleasant Pellets. They
do it in just the right way, too
by using Natures own methods.
That's why they're better than the
dreadful, old fashioned pills, with
their gripping and violence.
But they're better in every way.
In size, for instance, and dose.
They're the smallest and the cas-
lest to take ; only one little Pellet
is needed for a gentle laxative
three for a cathartic. They cleanse
and regulate the system thoroughly
but it's done easily and naturally.
Sick Headache, Bilious Headache,
Constipation, Indigestion, Bilious
Attacks, and all arrangements of
the Liver, Stomach and Bowels are
prevented, relieved, and cured.
They're the cheapest pill you can
buy, for they're guaranteed to give
satisfaction, or your money is re-
turned. You pay only for value
received.
Something else, that pays the
dealer better, may be offered as
lin, but it can't be, for you.

The Deadly Insult Offered by the
Urbane Suburbanite.
A through train from the East STOP

morning and a lot of passengers who
had been waiting for the belated

"Would you mind setting your va
lise down on the 1oor?" said IL of
the suburbanites, addressing an
averaged.sized and rather heavy-set
man OF 2S or 80, with spectacles, a
struggling mustache, and short hair,
who occupied q whole seat.
"There are plenty of seats on the
other side of the car" responded the
man, sourly.

"And I don't like to ride in the
sum-"
"Quite So"
"Have you any objections" said
the suburbaniue, after waiting a few
moments, "to putting your valise
down on the floor and letting me sit
here?"
"Ys, sir, I have!!" retorted the pas
senger in the seat fiercely. 81 consid-
er it q piece of COMPOUNDED imperti-
nence and a downright insult to walk
up to a man in this way and try to
force yourself on him and browbeat
him out of the half Of his seat! What
kind of people have you got out here,
anyway? Do you think you have q
right to attack a private traveller and
compel him to submit to-

the other, with a smile, "but you re-
mind me so much of q man l saw in
Europe last year that I felt almost
acquainted with you"

I, hey?"
"Very much," replied the suburban
tie, in O. voice loud enough to be heard
all over the car. you remind me,

miles.-Chicago Tribune.

German
Syrup"

must say a word as to the ef-

used it in my family for Bronchitis,
the result of Colds, with most ex-
cellent success. Ihave taken it my
self for Throat Troubles, and have
derived good results therefrom. I
therefore recommend it to my neigh
bors as an excellent remedy in such

Johnnie Brown Knew.

A boy about ten years old occupied
one of the front seats in an oral ex
animation in history at one of the
grammar schools a,little over month
ago. He was rather bright looking,
and evidently hada verygoodopinion
of his own learning.

How Swiss Children Go to Sleep.

How Swiss Children Go to Sleep.
The Swiss people are very artistic
in their tastes, and even the poorest
Swiss is neat and tasteful in his home
life. Many Of the ways OF the Swiss
are as pretty as their fanciful ideas
Of building houses. A Swiss mother
believes that her child will have bad
dreams unless it is crooned to sleep
And so, bending low over the drowsy
little ones couch, she sings soothing
songs of green pastures and still wat
ers until the little child has breathed
itself peacefully into the land OF Nod.

N~APoLEoN's MOTHER:

Often Parsimonious at Embarrass-
ing Times; But a Woman Of Worth
Public attention does not seem to
have been directed toward Napoleon's
mother until her son was proclaimed
Emperor i'll 1904. She then received
the title of Nine. Mere and an income
of 1000. OOOf. was settled upon her.
And that she might haye a position Of
political Importance, she was made
Protectrice Geperale OF all the chart
table institutions Of France. Such an
office admirably suited her. She fire.
quently solicited favors Of her son for
others, and was happy whenever her
exertions met with success.
On one occasion, upon learning of
the arrest OF the Due d'Enghien, she
even threw herself upon her knees be-
fore Napoleon, implorlng mercy for
the unfortunate Prince. In her tender
anxiety she thus laid aside the habi-
tual dignity which the following Incl
dent illustrates: Soon after Napole-
on's assumption of the imperial pur-
pie he Glanced to meet his mother in
the gardens OF St. Cloud. He was sur
rounded by courtiers, and half play
fully held out his hand for her to kiss.
Not so, my son." she gravely replied,
at the same time presenting her hand
in return. lit is your duty to kiss the
hand of her who gave you life."
After this it seems a pity that truth
fulness must make us say that even
this great woman had one littleness,
if we may call it so, OF character. She
evinced sometimes q resemblance to
the brother, whose parsimony her
sons had resented in their childhood,
by showing a love OF economizing,
even upon trifing occasions. This
proved q source Of frequent amuse-
ment among the gay circles of Paris.
The Emperor himself was sometimes
q little scandalized at her actions, al
though this did not hinder him from
most highly respecting her character.
