within the thick walls Of the prison.
Young officers camped out on the

there was the click of ivory balls, the
genial popping Of champagne corks. the
clank of sabers and the jingle of spurs.
Through the drowsy afternoons

How Closely Are They Related TO

one OF his most popular poems that

How true it certainly is that II we

struggle for that which we SO much
desire. the prize will surely be ours.
1t Is not enough, however to cit

we would accomplish great results, wo
must possess untlrlng perseverance.
At least one person appreciates the
full significance OF the great mans
words. Miss s. Cohen OF $50 South 9th
st., Camden, N. j., has for months
been waiting, longing and striving to
regain that health without which life
Is at best but dreary existence.
She has been constantly treating
with different remedies and physicians
but never once lost courage, for she
had made up her mind that there was
remedy which would cure her and
was determined to lind 1t. She sue.

The attempt Of some person to cut

Tho proprlety of killing birds to

been discussed to some extent. and it
lie said that q sentiment cond emma
tory OF the practice is gradually
spreading and eventually 1t may be-

contributing to a cruel :or inhuman
slaughter OF the feathered songsters,
and many OF them wonld be shocked

any way responsible for 1t.
II they wish to bear their testimony
against the wholesale slaughter of In
nocent birds OF bright plumage, they
must cease to wear such ornaments.
as on the falling off OF the demand
for them the slaughter will be lessen

melody, and perform the various func,
