The German Emperor must have been
very much amused when he read the
speech of one of the natives of the Cam
Rooms in proposing the "health of the
Kaiser" at a recent festival. The speech
was as follows: "The Emperor is the
wisest and most powerful man in the
world. He sees the treasures in the
middle of the earth, and he has them
brought forth. He spans the world with
iron threads, and as soon as he touches
them his words travel over space. He
has steamships that sail or dry land.
When a mountain stands in his way he
bores a hole through it; If a river bars
his progress he builds a street in the air.
Though the Emperor is the richest of all
men, he has only one wife; and though
his W ife is the most beautiful woman on
earth. he had not anything to pay for
her,"

HIS MOTHERS SONGS.

Beneath the hot midsummer sun
The men had marched all day;
And now beside a ripping stream,
Upon the grass they lay.
firing OF games and idle jests,
AS swept the hours along,
They called to one who unused apart,
"Come. friend, give us a song"
81 fear l cannot please" he said;
"The only songs l know
Are those my mother used to sing
For me long years ago."
"Sing one of those" a rough voice cried,
"There's none but true men here;
To every mothers son of us
A mothers songs are DEAR
hen sweetly rose the singers voice
Amid unwonted calm,
"Am 1 a soldier of the cross
A Jotlosoer of the lamb?
Sane shall 1 fear to own His cause ~
The very stream was stilled,
The hearts that never throbbed with fear
With tender thoughts were flied.
Ended the song, the singer said,
AS to his feet he rose,
han to you all my friends, good night
God grant us sweet repOse."
Using us one more" the captain begged;
The soldier bent his head,
Then CHANGING round, with smiling lips,
"You'd join with me- he said.
GWEN sing this old familiar air,
Sweet as the buple call.
'AU hail the potoer of Jesus name,
Let angels PROSTATE JaU.'"
All! wondrous was the old tunes spell,
As on the singer sang.
Man after man fell into line,
And loud the voices rang!
The songs are done, the camp is still,
Naught but the stream Is heard;
But ali! the depths of every soul
By those old hymns are stirred.
And up from man. a bearded lip,
In whispers soft and low,
Rises the prayer the mother taught
The boy long gears ago.

Reflex Action

in Rectal Diseases is such that none but an expert in
chronic work can determine the seat of disease that
gives rise to SO many complaints. Well-defned
symptoms of Locomoter Ataxia, Heart Disease,
extreme head trouble, Kidney Complaint, Epilepsy
of long standing, and Female Complaints in an
aggravated form, have all been found to have their
origin in complicated diseases of the rectum. Yet
the true cause had not been suspected by former
doctors. 1t is astonishing how much trouble a assure
or rectal ulcer will produce. Time and money are
wasted in ~doctoring unless the cause is removed.

Believing all who read this department

IN the work that interests us, a work that
draws largely upon our strength and

length from a private letter just received:
"My object in writing is to thank you
for answering school girl for it lay
heavy on my mind.
The first six or seven years of our
organization, never a year passed but
remonstrances went from our Union (and
others also) until it was with difficulty
we could get any one to present them at
Court, showing most conclusively that
for years saloon keepers had been having
laws made in their favor while the
MOTHERS were staying quietly at home.
1T was that experience, more than
anything else, hat made me a pro.
nounced woman s~uffragist.

"Surely we're camping in the publio

schools will go ere long an army of men,
and perhaps women, and new laws will
be made and enforced that will cause king
alcohol to bite the dust.

who went to prison, his mother was the
one who lay dead from grief, it was his
