But Another Trait of Human Nature Stands
Revealed.
The mighty Sheik Abdullah spake one
day to the court sage, old Enckazi, as fol
lows You are always ready to give SEN
sible advice Enekazi. Perhaps you could
tell me which of my councillors are really
sincere. y
"A very simple matter" replied the
sage confidently ~ will tell you at once
mighty sheik, how that is to be managed
GO and compose long ballad this very
day
''Stop," interrupted the sheik. You
forget that am no poet"
That's just it, mighty sheik! Go and
write at once long ballad and read it to
your assembled councillors.
But, Enekazi bear in mind that I
never wrote a line of poetry in my life"
So much the better. When you have
read the long ballad to your courtiers, you
will judge of the effect yourself Tomor-
row will come again and learn the result
of your observations.
Next day the wise Enehazi entered the
sheik's tent saying:
''Did you follow my advice, mighty
sheik?'
Certainly"
"And what happened after you had read
your ballad?" inquired the old man, slnil-
ing
'Oh, was completely taken by sur
prise. One exclaimed that this was the
long sought for ballad of the great poet
Ibu- Yemin; another that l was new

ry; third craved permission to cut off
a small piece Of my robe in memory Of the
eventful occasion and the immortal bard

praised my ideas and my language up to
the skies"
"And what about old Herr adin9" eager
ly questioned the sage.
"Ah, he dropped to sleep while was
reading"
"Ha, ha! What did you conclude from
that, mighty sheik?" said the old man tri-
umphantly.
What conclusion could come to, re-
piled the sheik with some surprise, IF not
the same as all the rest-namely, that
possess very great talent for poetry"
Enekazi salaamed, lighted his chibouk
and-held his peace. For he was, In

Do YOU doubt that hundreds of such cases
reported to us as cured by. Golden Med
ical Discovery were genuine cases of that
dread and fatal disease? You need not take
our word for it. They have, in nearly every
instance, been so pronounced by the best
and most experienced home physicians,
who have no interest whatever in mis-
representing them, and who were often
strongly prejudiced and advised against
trial of Golden Medical Discovery, !"
but who have been forced to confess that
it surpasses, in curative power over this
fatal malady, all other medicines with
which thew are acquainted. Nasty cod
liver oil and its filthy emulsions" and
mixtures, had been tried in nearly all these
cases and had either utterly failed to bene-
ct or had only seemed to benefit little for
A short time. Extract of malt whiskey,
and various preparations of the hypo..
nhosphites had also been faithfully tried
in vain.
those cured of consumption, bronchitis,
lingering coughs, asthma, chronic nasal
catarrh and kindred maladies, have been
skillfully reproduced in book of 100
pages which will be mailed to you, on

have been cured and profit by their ex-

Write Them a Letter Tonight.

Don't 20 to the thcater, lecture or ball,
But stay in your room tonight.
Deny yourself to the friends that call,
And good long letter write
Write to the sad old folk at home,
Who sit when the day is done
With folded hands and downcast eyes
And think Of the absent one.
Write them letter tonight.
Don't selfishly scribble: Excuse my haste.
I've scarcely time to wrte,'
Lest their brooding thoughts go wandering
back
To many bygone night,
When they lost their needed sleep and rest,
And every breath was prayer
That God would leave their delicate babe
To their tender love and care.
Write them letter tonight
Don't let them feel that you've no more need
OF their love and counsel wise,
For the heart grows strangely sensitive
When age has dimmed the eyes.
1t might be we'll to let them believe
You never forgot them quite
That you deemed it a pleasure when far away
Long letters homo to write. Then
Write them letter tonight.
Don't think that the young and giddy friends
Who make your pastime gay
Have half the anxious thoughts for you
That the old folk have today.
For the sad old folk at home,
With locks fast turning white,
Are longing to hear of the absent one.
Oh, write them letter tonight.

poisons.
About the middle OF one of the hottest
nights this summer, a policeman stood on
the corner of couple of uptown streets,
tanning himself with his club and saying
uncomplimentary things about the
meteorological conditions, when belated
passenger came along unsteadily.
This hot enough FIR you? he inquired as
he leaned up against the officer.
Rather, replied the officer, standing the
man up.
Never saw it worse, guess, did you?
Not much.
Neither did 1; anyhow in Detroit.
You've never been in the other place,
have you? inquired the officer pointing
downward.
Been in the next place to it, said the
man, st. Louis. Had friend on the
police force out there; a man about your
build; one hot night he was cooling him
self on the corner; had his hat hangin' on
hydrant; all at once crowd banged out
of saloon across the street and went to
fightin' on the sidewalk; officer went after
'em bareheaded; crowd jump on him in
minute; he yelled that he was an officer;
the crowd swore he was private citizen;
slung his coat open to show his star; the
crowd yelled and began to thump the
stufiin' out of him; there wasn't any star,
and there wasn't any buttons on his coat;
they had all melted off and run down in
little puddle at his feet on the other side
of the street where he had been standing
when the fight took place; they found it
there the next day; 'tadn't been for that
the officer would have lost his job, be-
sides the thumpin' he got; you don't want
to ever try to git on the st. Louis police
force; faint healthy there, and the mid
night marauder rolled along to his home.

In the messy orchard. The golden bees
Buzzed over clover tops, pink and pearly

We were stopping awhile with mother
At the quiet country place
Where first we'd met, one blossomy May,
And fallen in love, SO the dreamy day
Brought to my memory many another
In the happy time when won her gract'-
Days in the bright spring weather,
When the twisted, rough old tree
Showered down apple blooms, dainty and
sweet.
That swung in her hair and blushed at her
feet.
Sweet was her face as we fingered together
And dainty the kisses my love gave me.
Dear love, are you recalling
The old days, too?" l said.
Her sweet eyes filled. and with tender grace
She turned and rested her blushing face
Against my shoulder. A sunbeam falling
Through the leaves above us crowned her
head.
And so held her, trusting
That none was by to see
A sad mistake-for low but clear
This feminine comment reached my ear:
MARRIED for ages-it's just disgusting
Such actions-and, Fred, they've got our

GoOdby.
Goodby, proud world! I'm going home.
Thou'rt not my friend, and I'm not thine.
Long through thy weary crowds | roam,
A riven oak on the oceans brine;
Long I've been tossed like the driven foam,
But now, proud world, I'm going home.
Goodby to fattery's fawning face;
TO grandeur, with his wise grimace;
To upstart wealths averted eye;
To supple office, low and high;
To crowded halls, court and street;
To frozen heart and hast'ing feet!
To those who go and those who come
Goodby, proud world, I'm going home.
I'm going home to my own hearthstone,
Bosomed In yon green hills alone
A secret nook in pleasant land,
Whose grove the frolic fairies planned;
Where arches green the livelong day
Echo the blackbird's roundelay
And vulgar feet have never trod-
A SPOT that's sacred to thought and God.
Oh, when I'm safe in my sylvan home,
tread on the pride of Greece and Rome,
And when I'm stretched beneath the pines
Where the evening star so holy shines
laugh at the lore and pride Of man,
At the sophist schools and the learned clan.
For what are they all in their high conceit
When man in the bush with God may meet,

1t Doesn't Cost Money.

It doesn't cost money, as many suppose,
To have good time on the earth.
The best Of its pleasures are free unto those
Who know how to value their worth.
The sweetest of music the birds to us sing,
The loveliest flowers grow wild,
The finest of drinks gushes out of the spring
All free to man, woman and child.
No money can purchase, no artist can paint
Such pictures as nature supplies
Forever, all over, to sinner and saint
Who use to advantage their eyes.
Kind words and glad looks and smiles CHEEKY
and brave
Cost nothing-no, nothing at all
And yet all the wealth Monte Cristo could save
Can make no such pleasures befall.
1t doesn't cost money to have good time,
And that is the reason, alas!
Why many who might have enjoyment sublime
Their lives in such misery pass.
1t doesn't cost money to have good time;
The worlds best enjoyments are free;
But those who find pleasure In folly and crime
Will not with these true words agree.
