AFTER all the only basis OF true

parental affection awakening respons-

DEAR MOTHER DEATH.

When night comes down TO cover
The pleasant hills and sea,
Then little children hover
About the mothers knee.
Their childish griefs and pleasures
Fade with the fading sky,
And all their precious treasures
Dropt and forgotten lie.
Close, close their forms she presses,
Kisses their weary eyes,
And mingles soft caresses
With heart-born lullabies.
So, when life's day Is ended,
Its joys and sorrows DER.
And when its visions splendid
Delight the heart no more,
Dear Mother Death enfolds US
In arms that soothe aud bless,
And lulls US while she holds US
To sweet forgetfulness.

The cabman drove u long distance,
and then deposited his passenger, who

The passenger expressed his mind

and drove the passenger back to the

EDITOR AKRON CITY TINES,
Dear sir:-I am sorry that have not been
able to keep my subscription paid up on my
paper, the AKRON CRY TIMES, more promptly
than have in the last year. But the reason
was this: My husband has been sick Just one
year, only being able to work about one-half
the time until last Oct 10Th, he was compelled
to quilt work entirely, and did not do any work
until about three weeks ago. He again went
TO the shop and has worked every day since
(he Is potter, and he would not be able to
work yet II 1t was not for DIR. Kilmer's Swamp
Root, Kidney, Liver and Bladder Cure, which
he saw advertised In your valuable paper
with MIR. Cradick's Of Gosport, Ind, account
OF his ailments and his recovery by the use Of
the Dr. kilmer Swamp-Root. wrote to that
gentleman and found his statement correct,
after which my husband sent and got the medi;
cine and has only taken two bottles and has so
much regained his health that he can work
every day, and also eat almost anything on any
table, which he could not do without giving
him such an uwful pain In his stomach. He
could not even eat one-half Of cracker with
out suffering untold agony. His trouble was
indigestion, liver and kidney trouble He
thinks there never was so wonderful remedy
as Is the Swamp-Root.
There are Others here using II, and all are
greatly benefited already, after only using 1t
for a few weeks.
1nclosed you will find 81 as so much on my
subscription. You may please let me know
how we are standing financially, and as soon
as possible will send you the balance. Imostly
take the paper on account Of getting the

INTO THE CoYLE GULLY.
Exciting Mishap That Befe1 Mrs. Matthew
Benson's Berrying Party.

Yesterday forenoon Mrs. Matthew
Benson, whose husband owns the stable
on Green street, started on berrying
expedition with her two sisters, Miss
Mary Brewer and Mrs. Elizabeth Plum
mer, and Mrs. Plummer's little daughter,
Edith. Charles Philbrook went along to
drive the horse and take charge OF the
party. They drove out Forest Avenue
towards Deering, arriving at what is
known as the Coyle gully, just as an
electric car came along. The horse, bad
ly frightened, bolted straight for the
steepest side of the gully, that towards
the bay. When the team struck the side.
walk the wagon stopped suddenly, the
horse breaking away. The shock threw
all the occupants out in heap, and Mrs.
Benson sustained severe bruise on her
left forearm. The others were shaken
up, but not otherwise injured. The
horse, when it broke from the wagon,
burst through the fence over the gully,
dashed headlong down the steep en-
bankment to the top of the wall of the
granite culvert, and from that turned a
somersault into the bed of the brook be-
low. He was badly cut, but not spoiled.
1t was a narrow escape for the party, for
had the wagon gone with the horse ia
tai result might have followed.

PLANET MARS.
when 1t Rises This Evening at O'clock
1t Will Be at Its Nearest Point
to the Earth. s.

Today the planet Mars, which is sup
posed to be habitable for a race Of men
not unlike ourselves, will make us one OF
it's occasional calls. This ceremonious
planet called before in 1877, and before
that in 1862. 1t gets around once in
every fifteen years to a point near enough
to the earth to be called neighborly by
the astronomers. tits true that Mars is
thirty-five million miles from us today,
but that is quite near, considering that
at times he gets away al million miles.
The planet will rise about o'clock this
evening, and be visible as an evening
star if the weather is favorable.
The astronomers have great anticipa-
lions of the discoveries they are to make
about Mars. The great Lick telescope in
California will so far annihilate distance
as to bring the planet into as good view
as it would be in were it only 1900
miles away. But when we reflect that
man or even barn is a small object
when viewed at distance of 1900
miles, it will be readily seen that the as
tronomers will not collect much social or
political gossip about the people OF Mars
on this trip.

STATE ITEMS OF INTEREST.

Two peddlers who are doing Aroos-
took have the newest scheme yet. Their
goods, as they tell it, were damaged in a
! Montreal fire or some steamship disas-
ter and they will sell them, only in $125
| lots, taking six months notes in payment.
| In many instances they give written
| guarantee to extend the time of payment
| if the purchaser cannot meet his obliga-
ton. Thirteen of these notes, given by
New Sweden parties, were sold in Carl
bou one morning this week. The Repub-
ican says that the guarantee is worth
less, and the goods but little better and
that $45 or $50 will buy more and better
articles of local merchants. The scheme
is denounced as a rank swindle.
Baths new Y. M. C. A. building will
not be completed until next year. It
will be Of brick with stone trimmings,
four stories high and 7Sx96. Four fine
stores will occupy the ground floor but
the whole of the rest of the building will
be devoted to Y. M. G. A. uses. The
new building will cost about $40, 900 and
will be considerably larger than the Sag
adahoc House in Bath. 1t will have
gymnasium which will be complete in
every respect; running track, bowling
alley, bath rooms, etc.

formerly in charge of the Experiment
Station at Houghton Farm, and went
from there to the Maryland college,
which he took when bankrupt, but has
built up. made success and now leaves
with a good staff Of instructors and a
large number of students, simply be-
cause the college has become the foot
ball of the two dominant political par

stands a pretty good chance Of being
ruined.

illegally, as the Interstate Commerce
act allows them to send liquor into this
State. They warn him that he must re-
fund the value of the liquor at once,
and disturb no more Of their packages,
or they shall take action against him by
legal process.
