An Old Soldiers Recommendation.

In the late war l was soldier in the
First Maryland Volunteers, Company
G. During my term of service l con-
tracted chronic diarrhea. Since then
have used great amount of medi-
cine, but when found any that would
give me relief it would injure my stom-
ach. until Chamberlain's Collie, Chole-
ra and Diarrhea Remedy was brought
to my notice. | used it and will say it
is the only remedy that gave me per-
manent relief and no bad results follow.
l take pleasure in recommending this
preparation to all of my old comrades,
who, while giving their services to
their country, contracted this dreadful
disease as did, from eating unwhole-
some and uncooked food. Yours truly,

the whole story, relieved of its prosy

monotony:
The day was slowly waning,
And DER our little town,
The shades of dreary winter night
Were slowly settling down:
In the foothills of the Ozarks,
On rolling mountain stream,
Where nature in its grandest form
Is ever to be seen.
Our little story opens,
As stories often do
With grand exception
Our story's wholly true,
And our heroine was married
And near the forty mark,
With son as tall as her,
And daughter gin to spark.
The mercury was standing
Far above the zero mark,
The days were damp and cloudy,
And the nights were cold and dark.
1t was Sunday before Christmas,
And the dark and cloudy day
To the sombre hues of evening
Was preparing to give way.
Twas that period known as twilight,
Twixt the setting of the sun
And the drawing of nights curtain,
When the day is fairly done,
When our heroine by chance,
Whose neighbors were away,
Stood upon the front veranda,
And looked across the way.
From the south the wind was blowing,
And the air was soft and warm,
When beside her neighbours fence
She espied lurking form.
twas thief-the lady knew it
Not a moment then to spare,
For her neighbours left her chickens
In this watchful lady's care.
Then down the stairs she FASTENED,
Just pausing at the door
To tell her husband what she'd seen,
And ask him to go DER
To help her drive the thief away
And save her neighbours flock
Of Bantams, Leghorns, Cochins,
And noble Plymouth Rock.
But whether it was laziness,
Or fear that did inspire.
The husband sent his eldest son,
Remaining by the FIRE.
Perhaps he thought the thief would run
AND give them all the shake,
Or else old Doubling Thomas like,
He thought it all fake.
Our heroine did not hesitate,
Though twas her husbands place,
For twas her neighbours chicken roost
That danger did menace.
Across the street with flying feet
She made winning race;
Undaunted DER the fence she sprang
The chicken thief to face.
drop those chickens!" loud she cried,
And snatched a piece of board
And on the fast retreating form
Thick and fast she poured
A perfect avalanche of blows,
With sound like failing wheat!
The chicken thief just bumped himself
And beat quick retreat.
Pandemonium reigned supreme,
Midst yells of 'Bring light"
Drop those chickens!" 'Head the theft"
Commingled with the fight.
One neighbor brought lantern,
Another got his gun,
The lady's husband staid at home
And seemed to enjoy the fun.

Another Christmas has come and
gone. Santa Claus paid his annual
visit to the little folks of this vicinity,
and has been stripped of every yestige
calculated to please the little ones and
has now gone to prepare himself for
another year. While his trip this
year has pretty generally haan made
through mud, slush, and all sorts OF
weather other than that desired for
Christmas, he did, however, manage
to get in on time.
Christmas exercises here in both the
NJ. E. and Presbyterian churches were
grand, exquisite and largely attended.

England won't be in it little bit. It
is to be remembered on two occasions,

We gave England her breakfast in 1776.
We likewise gave her her dinner in
1912, in about two hours. and we now
have a red-hot supper ready for her
when ever she comes after it; but 1t is
very doubtful if such thing comes to
pass. Lord Salisbury, in our opinion,
is only trying to run a bluff. 1t is to
be hoped that no sane man itches for
war between the two greatest aud no.

NO QUESTION
But That National Republican Convention
Will be Held at ST. Louis on Date Specified.

Hon. j. II. Manley was seen this
afternoon in reference to a dispatch
from Washington, saying that Chair
man Carter had called a meeting of the
National Committee to settle the ques-
ton whether the Republican national
convention, called to meet at st. Louis
on June 16, should be deferred or re-
moved to some other city owing to the
recent disaster at st. Louis.
Mr.. Manley said he had heard moth
ing Of it; that he himself was chairman
of the executive committee. and in
addition was chairman of the sub-com-
mttee which had the entire arrange
ment for the convention hall. That he
had received two dispatches from st.
had not been injured, and that il
would be ready for the convention on
the 18th of June.
Mr. Manley added, In my judgment
the committee does not possess the
legal power to defer the convention or
to change it. 1t has been called for
the 10th of June, and the delegates
have been elected to meet on the 18th
of June at st. Louis They must meet
then and there, and the delegates alone
have the power to adjourn the conven-

by each peaceful hallowed grave
OF our nations brave defenders.
Those who died our flag to save.
And we place in lender memory
Flowers of every Kind ana hue.
As Il tender grateful tribute
TO each soldier. tried and true.
For we know the weary marches
Meath Il burning southern sun.
Felt the keenest rangs OF hunger,
As the painful task was done
Fought in many Il bloody battle
Heard The cannonS awful roar,
Knew the deepest pains of anguish
From deep wounds, ragged and sore.
Spent behind the bars OF prisons
Months OF anxious grief ana pain,
Thinking Of our loved ones ever
Whom We might neer see again.
oh, the weary tiresome waiting
For the messenger Of peace
With the blessed joyful tidinge
Fhat should give us our release.
And the sad and tender parting
As we clasped kindred hand
OF our loving wives and mothers,
Loved ones from our household band.
How our little babes IN wonder
Looked with innocent surprise
AS they saw our mournful faces
And the tears that filed our eyes.

And we feel tbs but a triie
That each comrade finds to do.

That our dear old flag may wave

1nat those heroes died TO save.
May we always stand united
Heart to heart as clasping hand
Pray to God in loving mercy
To protect our native land.
