last few years it was supposed to be in-
durable. For great many years doc
tors pronounced it local disease and
prescribed local remedies, and by con-
stantly failing to cure with local treat
mcnt pronounced it incurable. Sci
ence has proven catarrh to be a consti-

Greeting.

How beautiful thou art, o love of minei
The sparkle of thine eye shines in the streams.
The fragrance Of thy breath watts from the
pine.
The beauty of thy smile is in the beams
OF morning sunlight as 1t glints and CLEANS.
Thy yesture is the verdancy that thrills
In new life in the leaf, the spray, the blade,
And lies like emerald velvet on the hills
z And on the boscage --ha bushgrown glade.
Brilliant in sunlight, splendrsrs in the shade.
Once more seek thee in thy bowers. rcy sweet.
A tired toiier from the city's mart.
Once more seek thee, by the brookiet fleet,
10 still with touch of thine Tho fTrf and
smart
And slow the throbbing of the feyered heart,
And, loi find thy welcome is as free
Today as in the old time. long ago.
When, as a child, wandered forth to thee.
Thy smile is only deeper, and know
Ny own responsive love doth warmer glow.
Oh. as of old, first love of mine, infuse
The vigor OF thy youth in nerve and vein.
Cast ont the sordid thought; the soul enthuse
With noble r instincts, and in art and brain
Breed high desires that bring no after pain.
Point with thy luminous finger to the sod
Where blossoms grow and toll not, neither
spin,
But rest their being beauteous in their God,
Content to be far from the city's din,
In woodland depths, devoid of care or sin.

M I.iiile nIonniain Elafe.

It's becoming almost as common
to speak of West Virginia as
the Little Mountain State as to
refer 10 New York as the Empire
State. Though there is much truth
in the title, yet We fear it is often
little misleading. A reference to
little State usually brings to mind
Rhode Island and Delaware, and we
do not want to class West Virginia
with them in size. Ours is a small
State in comparison with many
others, yet there are no less
than eight States in the Union that
are smaller than West Virginia.
Only ono of the six New England
States is larger than our Mountain
State Leaving out Maine. West
Virginia is larger than any two Of
the others, and her surface will
cover the smallest four of those
States. We have a county that
lacks less than 100 square miles of
being as large as Rhode Island,
and yet plenty of New Englanders
would not believe there is such a
place as West Virginia unless some
Yankee was the author of the book
that told them so.
West Virginia is moro than twice
as large as Maryland, and more
than three times as large as New
Jersey. We eshould have correct
understanding of our State in re-
spect to its relation and comparison
with others. It is mountain
State, and if we call it the Little
Mountain State, we should not let
the title lead us to forget its impor-
tance and high rank in many re-
spects. Do not forget that West
Virginia is not merely a little pine
thicket cut off from the mother
State as not worth owning, but that
it has many high mountains, fertile
valleys, flourishing towns and hap
py, prosperous people. Let us
stand up for what we really are

The Gingerbread Horse.

Tho Gingerbread Horse.
There are people and places that fade from our
And days that grow dim in the past;
There are loyes that are born and wither and
die,
And nothing seems true to the last:
But back in the days Of the long, long ago,
When the little back yard wns our course,
The friend who was dearest and sweetest to Us
Was the gelloping gingerbread horse.
Can we ever forget hima His arched neck and
His sugar glazed ears and foretop7
Don't we still feel the thrill of uttermost Joy
As we carried him out OF the shop?
Then. breathless with happiness, longing TO
start,
We sped to the back cellar door,
And there, in paradise, nibbled and munched
Till the gingerbread horse was no more.
oh. my gingerbread horse, how the taste of
thy heels
And the peppery sweet of thy name.
With thy black currant eyes and thy brown.

Come back from the dim past againI

know the very best way to keep the
house cool in warm weather. Here
it is: Let in the cool night air and
keep out the hot day air. So just as
soon in the morning as the outer air
becomes warmer than that in the

down and close the shutters tightly.

The Growing of n souI.

Hear ye this parable: A man
Did plant garden. Vine and tree
Alike, in course of time, began
To put forth fair and pleasantly.
The rains of heaven, the persuading sun,
Came down alike ON each and every one.
Yet some trees willful grew, and some
Strong vines grew gayly in tho sun,
With gaudy leaves, that even come
To naught, and yet each Haunting one
Did flourish on triumphantly and glow
Like sunset clouds in all their moving show.
But, loi the harvest found them not.
The soul had persisted from them. Mold
And muck and leaf lay there to rot,
And furnished nourishment untold
To patient tree and lowly creeping vine
That grew as grew the husbandman's design.
Hear, then, this lesson; hear and heed:
say that chaff shall perish; say
Mans soul is. like unto a seed
To grow into the judgment day.
It grows and grows II he will have it grow;
1t perishes If he must have it so.

cs on Sunday, and in consequence
the customary divine worship is
dispensed with. n The churches
there were ranged around the walls
AZ boxes, that being the number OF
candidates to be voted for. These
boxes were about the size and shape
of cracker box, one half painted
white with eyes" on them, and the
other half black with 'tNo' on them.
Beside each box stood represen-
tativc of the candidate, and over the
box hung the candidates pictnre.
Each voter as he entered the church
had his nameregistered and check
given him. In passing around the
church the voter is given bullet,
or vote, by the representative stand
ing beside the box of each candidate.
Negative voter, as well as affirma-
tive, must be cast-that is, if a vot-
er objects to candidate he must
cast negative bullet. Great care
is exercised by the representatives
of the candidates that there is nc
stffiung of the ballot boxes.

An exchange says there are men,
who when they receive a plugged
nickle, lay it carefully away until
Sunday, when they drop it in the

paper a couple of years and then
refuse to take it any longer, but
win not pay for what time they
did take It.
