is to take pills when you are constipated
or bilious, Lut they don't 60 down easy,
and when they get down there's shudder.
The better way is to take Simmons Liver

vegetable, in liquid or powder form.
You can take a pinch Of the powder on
the tongue and with a sup of water swal-
low it without taste. The Regulator
tones up the digestive organs and pre-

DR.. Parker is full of anecdote; he
evidently believes that joke should
be after the pattern Of Sydney
Smiths delightful sayings, lightning
that illumines but never strikes" 1t
seems that when Gen. Booth came to
see DR.. Parker, who is a great friend
Of his, they talked over the social
scheme foi. the Submerged Tenth, !"
of which DR.. Parker highly approves.
At the close, as is his custom, General
Booth knelt in prayer, ending with
the Scripture words, "And all the
people said, 'Amenp AS DR.. and
Mrs. Parker, who are little new to
this method, did not join in the
amen" the General added soto
Eoce, "only nobody heard them"
DR.. Parker also tells another curious
story for the authenticity Of which he
did not vouch. He said that Mr..
Moody once entered a gospel temper
ance meeting in a strange city with a
blue ribbon in his button hole, where
upon he was asked, care you re-
formed drunkard?" and answered
with his characteristic emphasis, mo,
I am not, upon which his questioner,
daunted, said, "Well, don't
you think you ought to be?".

its being shown to their satisfaction
that such parent or guardian was not

Full of unrest and sorrow.


was to my window lead,
To watch my neighbor, as deity
She drew out the long, white thread
Swift1y-yet even1y-joining,
Two edges with needle and thread.
Her life seemed as dull and somber,
AS if the Sunlight had fled,
Yet note of song came to me
AS the work of her stitching sped;
And watched the play of her needle,
And the throw of the snowy thread.
Ny home was bright and dainty,
And sweet with the perfume shed
From my priceless lilies and roses,
In clusters of white and red.
Yet no song came out of my living,
Ny living so sere and dead.
As idly I stood by the window,
And watched Kiss Rebekah's thread,
a voice came: ASK of thy neighbor,
How she can sing" it said.
"Her life seems scarce worth the living,
And little but needle and thread"
"Why. dear" replied my true neghbor,
tGod gives the unfinished web,
Our work is to ply the needle,
And manage the joining thread.
Our work is to fashion the garment,
By using our needle and thread.
''Or, if the picture seems homely,
Take a fairer,'' my neighbor said;
"Ta1ze a lesson from thine own bower,
Thy roses in clusters. of red;
And sweetest perfume from thy living
On Gods poorer children she'd
Thus a song shall burst from thy sorrow
From thy life now so sere and dead"
