I LOVED you, ONCE.

And did you think my heart
Could keep its love unchanging,
fresh'as the buds that start
In spring, nor know estranginRp
Nsteni The buds depart:
loved you once, but now
love you more than ever.
'Tis not the early love;
With day and night II alters,
And onward still must move,
Like earth, that never falters
For storm or star above.
loved you once, but now
Hove you more than ever.
With gifts in those glad days,
How eagerly I sought you
Youth, shining hope, and praise:
These were the gifts I brought you.
In this world little stays:
1loved you once, but now
love you more than ever.
A child with glorious eyes
Here In our arms half sleeping
30 passion wakeful lies;
Then grows to manhood, keeping
Its wistful young surprise;
1loved you once. but now
love you more than ever.
When ages pinching afr
Strips summers rich posses sion,
And leaves the branches bare,
My secret in confession
Still thus with you I'll share;
1loved you once. but now
love you more than ever.

took seventeen tons OF coal, placed it
in II large circle and set it on fire,
getting within the circle. They had
a very comfortable night, but greatly

Coal is dear and scarce in that par,

Why Artiiicially DigsSted Food
Improves the Appetite.
Recent Progress in the Treatment of
Dyspepsia


When you swallow a moutbful of nre.
digested food, such as Paskola, il is AT
once absorbed and thus leaves the stom
ach empty. II other foods be taken win
Paskola, ii aids their digestion and thus
also insures their prompt absorption. The
moment the stomach is empty then appe-
title appears. Growing children are al
ways hungry because their digestion Is
good.
The disappearance of appetite indicates
that you are not properly digesting your
food. Anybody can assimilate nourish-
ment, il presented in proper form; but
many there are whom the simplest food
distresses.
Paskola, being as it is, artificially digested
by ingenious processes, requires no further
action OF the poor, dS specific stomach and
thus virtually TESTS that tired organ, Not
only is il a fsttening and health giving
food in itself, but il aids the digestion Of
other foods. As consequence one will
lind himself able To eat more heartily and
OF greater variety than was previously
possible.
Fooo is the na.ura! cure for diseases at
tended bv thlnness and loss of weight.
Drugs aud tones will not answer. The
good results following the use OF Paskola
are so immediate that no one who has
tried IL has any doubt that it was Paskola
did it.
Paskola is pleasant to the taste and
needs no cooking. II has solved the prob.
lens presented TO physicians who have
known that nourishment was the only
cure for arrangements Of the digestive
organs. Nourish the system and II will
throw of disease far more effectually than
any device of man. One grateful user OF
this new product writes as follows:
about six weeks ago, through reading
one of your pamphlets, i began to use Pas

A W indsor County Woman and Her
Lover Convicted OflPoisoning Her
Husband

One of those cases which seem to
demonstrate the dcpravity of human
nature has Just been completed in the
Windsor county court. The evidence
OF the State went to show that Wilbur
Spaulding of Bethel was poisoned by
his wife, Effie Spaulding, and her
lover, solomon James, last fall. il
appears that James felt his heart
swelling with tenderness toward Mrs
Spaulding, and that she reciproeated
his tender feeling. The husband mis-
trusted Solomon, but rather than kick
up row he occupied room BY him
self. James lived right along in the
family but was still dissatisfied. One
day in the last of January, Spaulding
and James went chopping, and Mrs.
Spaulding put up the dinners for
both men. When Mr. Spaulding had
eaten some of his dinner he began
vomiting and was sick, and afterward
his body was affected and his face was
swollen. Three specimens of the mat
ter which had refused TO stay on Mr..
Spaulding's stomach were analyzed by
Prof. Bartlett of Dartmouth, who
found arsenic therein. Solomon con-
fessed that he bought five cents
worth of arsenic to kill bedbugs. The
case was very interesting in many le-
gal aspects, one question being upon
the admission Of the husbands testi-
mony against the wife, such testimo-
ny being allowable only in case of
violence OF wife against husband or
vice versa. The jury returned a ver-
dict of guilty against each of the re-
spondentS. The sentence is to be an
nounced later.-Burlington Free
