that the free and unlimited coinage OF

We suppose no good Democrat will
be angry with us for quoting from Il
good Democratic paper. Such the
Chicago Times is well known to be.

Democratic administration:

How Did Cleveland Get Rich:
The following extract from the Chi

is mighty good and suggestive reading :

A Few Facts.

A remedy has been found which
cures chronic diseases: not in every
case, but in a large percentage OF
them. And in cases too far gone
for cure, it affords relief and often
prolongs life. Many who have
been given over by physicians have
been prevailed upon by friends to
try this remedy, the Compound
Oxygen Treatment of Drs. Starkey
& Palen, of Philadelphia, and are
now living to testify to It's curative
powers. 1t has been successful IN
curing many cases of catarrh' ma
larial fever, hay fever, asthma
bronchitis, neuralgia, nervous pros
tration, and other chronic diseases.
In these diseases physicians have
had little success, as the name they
have given to this class of disorders
indicates, but Compound Oxygen
has worked wonders.
There is only one genuine COM
pound Oxygen, and any substance
made elsewhere or by others than
Drs. Starkey and Palen, is spurious.
Avoid limitations.
If You wish to learn more OF this
wonderful remedy, send for our
book of 200 pages, sent free, with
numerous testimonials and records
Of surprising cures.

SOME HEARTS,

Through days a-weary, and scenes 80
dreary,
Some hearts in the shadow must stay,
whilethe aching eyes scan gloomy skies
For n light in the far away.
Through the darkness deep, dread agonies
Creep,
And steel the reluctant perfume
OF the flowers rare, that fate seemed to
dare,
On the grlef-stricken soil to bloom.
Through the dismal years, OF weeping and
fears,
Some hearts, with their burden OF woe,
On the grim highway, where no sunbeams
play,
Through tho blackness OF night must go.
Some hearts must weep. while other hearts
sleep,
Meier dreaming OF pain or sorrow
Some hearts are signing, some hearts are
crying
O'er visions OF dread tomorrow,
LONE hearts must kneel and the chast'ning
feel,
As hopes that were framed In the past
Fall into decay, and, swift, pass away,
Too frail, through suffering, TO last
Some hearts are aching, and silently break
ing,
While the lives OF others are crowned
with rarest delight, that never takes flight
Where despaIr's dark face never frowned.
Edward N. Wood, in Atlanta ConSitutlon,
