ion and the lead bulb at the bottom
weighs about 1900 pounds. She is the
subject of much eager comment among
Portland yachtmen and it is generally
predicted that she will make some
lively hustling when it comes to the
races. In fact this new boat is more
properly to be called wind racing
machine, for she is made more for racing
than for cruising.

There lives In town not far from

couple who think good deal Of each
other, and when one is ill the other
does everything in the world for his
Or her welfare. Not long ago the
husband was taken i'll and the wife
rummaged around to find some med
icine in the house. Finally she came
across box of little black pills.
There was no writing on the cover Of
the box to tell what they were, but as
they reselnbled a certain liver pill, the
wife concluded they must be the re-
quired thing. She gave them to her
hubby regularly and he seemed to i'm
prove. About \ week sitter, when he
had got down to the last pill, he
Glanced to turn the box over. He
gave yell that startled the whole
neighborhood. His wife ran to him,
thinking he was dying. "Look," he
cried "read what it says on the bot
tom % She did as he babe her. And
this was what she read: 'Prime

The Old Trundle Bed.
oh, the old trundle bed where slept
when a boy!
What canopied king might not covet the
joyf
The glory and peace Of that slumber of
mine,
Like long, gracious rest in the bosom
divine.
The quaint, homely couch, hidden close
from the light,
But daintily drawn from its hiding at
night,
Oh, nest of delight from the foot to the
head,
Was the queer little, dear little, old trun-
die bed
Oh, the old trundle bed, where l wonder
ing saw
The stars through the window, and lis
tened with awe
To the sigh of the winds as they trem-
blingly crept
Through the trees where the robins so
restlessly slept
Where l heard the low murmurous chirp
of the wren,
And the katydid listlessly chirrup again,
Till my fancits grew faint, and were
drowsily led
Through the maze of the dreams Of the
old trundle beu!
Oh, the old trundle bed! Oh, the old
trundle bedl
With its plump little pillow and old-fash-
Toned spread;
Its snowy-white sheets and the blankets
above
Smoothed down and tucked round with
the touches of love;
The voice of my mother to lull me to
sleep
With the old fairy stories my memory
keep
Still fresh as the lilies that bloom DER
the head
Once bowed DER my own in the old trun-
die bed!

The following from the Scientific
American shows the value, in some
cases, of the opinion of great men,
as we call them. Alas we all make
our mistakes and after generations
will wonder how we did it:
When we think of the teeming
population which now fills many por-
tons Of our country west of the
Rocky Mountains, and remember
how famous, all over the world, is
their singular beauty, and their in
comparable value to the tourist, the
health seeker, the agriculturist and
the horticulturist, as we'll as the miner
it is interesting to read what so in
telligent statesman as Daniel Web
ster thought of them just fifty years
ago, and to know that his views were
shared by many other prominentspub-
lie men Of the time. In speech de-
livered in the United States Senate
in 1914, with regard to the proposal
that mail service should be estab-
lished between Missouri and the Pa
cific coast, Webster said: "What do
we want with this vast worthless area,
this region Of savages and wild
beasts, Of deserts, of shifting sands
and whirlwinds of dust, of cactus
and prairie dogs? To what use could
we ever hope to put these. great
deserts, of these endless mountain
ranges, impenetrable, and covered to
their bases with eternal snow? What
can we ever hope to do with the west
ern coast, q coast of three thousand
miles, rock bound, cherries and un.
inviting, with not a harbor on 1t
What use have we for such a country
Mr.. President, will never vote one
z cent from the public treasury to place
the Pacific coast one inch nearer Bos
ton than it is to-day"

A Remarkable Cure of rheumatism.

From the Gr0t0n Connecticut ReUieto.
David Lewis, who has been afflicted all
winter by rheumatism, is out again aud
all due to one of the medicines advertised
in our columns. After trying everything
possible, he used Chamberlain's Pain
Balm, which has relieved him of all pain,
from which he was constant sufferer
and promises TO make him fit for duty
soon. We know David has been great
sufferer and are glad to see him around
