JUST TO BE STILL.

Just to be still, though tempests break;
To know He never would forsake
The heart He made to be His own:
To know He Is not King alone,
But Father-infnite In care
OF every waif that brcathes the air
II this be mine, how light the weight
/ bear through changing times sstate.
Just to be joyous In to-day;
To know times fioods-which sweep away
The gold, and precious things Of life,
With desolation's breathings rife
Can never touch the arms hold
Around my gems more dear than gold,
Unless He wills-if this know,
Fearless my footsteps come and 60.
Just to be still and murmur not;
To know He never yet forgot
The child He led; to morrow's care
To lay on Him-my guide-to bear:
To see the sunlight OF to-day,
Nor sigh that IL may fade away
II this my part, my days shall be
Forecasts of immortality.

DR.. Pierce's Pleasant Pellets. They
do it in just the right way, too

dreadful, old fashioned pills, with
their gripping and violence.
But they're better in every way.
In size, for instance, and desc.
They're the smallest and the cas-
lest to take; only one little Pellet
is needed for a gentle laxative
three for oathartic. They cleanse
and regulate the system thoroughly
but it's done easily and naturally.

prevented, relieved, and cured.
They're the cheapest pill you can

As soon as he was gone my con-
strained Indifference and composure
vanished. Quickly got into cab and
directed the driver to take me to the
Office, and to lose no time in getting
there. While going across town at
breakneck speed, it may be surmised
that my brain whirled as rapidly as the
wheels beneath me. had within my
grasp what newspaper people denomi-
nate "a SCOOP" or what otherwise
would be known as piece of exclusive
information with reference to an i'm
portant event. Once en- route ceased
specializing as to how my account of
the tragedy should be handled long
enough to question the probability of
its correctness. Pshaw! I thought,
what grounds had / for doubling my
informant's veracity? Wasn't he a per-
feet gentleman? Could anything be
more probable than that Bascom, the
dissolute son of dissolute hotel-keeper
who had expired in delirium tremens
years before, had blown his head of?
As matter Of fact scarcely . week had
elapsed since had found myself one
afternoon sitting on park bench med
itating upon the extreme probability of
this very occurrence in the near future.
The man is ''going it" too fast, unused,
and as result of his excuses he is
likely to die suddenly or take his own
life.
