What VIII DO It:

Medical writer's claim that the sue.
cessful remedy for nasal catarrh must
be non-irritating. easy Of application,
and one that will reach the remote
sores and liberated surfaces. The
history OF the efforts to treat catarrh
is positive proof that only one rene
dy has completely met these copdi.
tious, and that is Ely's Cream Balm.
This safe and pleasant remedy has
mastered catarrh as nothing else has
ever done, and both physicians and
patients freely concede this fact

Poor boy, the load that he had borne

Poor boy, the load that ne had oorne
O'erthrew him quite. The gentle two
Who nursed him feared that every morn
Would see the end. What love could do,
Unbounded love, they did for Jim
And daily saw his light grow dim.
In wild despair the mother went ...
To seek doctor, beg his aid,
And one, as If by heaven sent,
Was glad to come, was more than paid
By sacred prayers. To save the lad
He used the utmost power he had.
:
When Little Jim his record broke
And at the Office failed to be,
The men looked queer, but no one spoke
At first, because they couldn't see
Just what it meant. But when the "boss"
Said, "Where is Little Jim?" the loss 1
Was personal to every one,
And all inquired and worried, too,
And though their daily tasks were done
They plainly showed their feelings blue.
No one had realized the vim
Inspired each hour by Little Jim.
OF course another youngster smart
They had to have without delay,

The thought, "This new one cannot stay
A minute after Jim comes back, %"
Was shared by all. No subtle knack
OF learning fast, no effort great
To please displayed by carrier new,
Could change affection sealed by fate ,
Or ever Jimmie's place undo.
Twas plain that now his blithesome call
Was sadly missed by one and all.

LITTLE jim, THE CARRIER.
o came along one April day

He came along one April day
And seemed very part of spring.
1t must have been his joyous way,
Or else the sweet and hearty ring
OF song and truth within his voice.

As if the place had waited long ~
And patiently for Little Jim,
The lad whose work and merry song
Went hand in hand, whose winning smile
Was waiting for you all the while.

When two or three long days had gone
And Little Jim had not returned,

When two or three long days had gone
And Little Jim had not returned,
The men were plainly all forlorn
Nor tried to hide how much they yearned
To see his smile, and all agreed
BE must be i'll. They didn't need
To have one say no fault or blame
Could fall on Jim, no scheme or trick
Explain his absence, and they came
To saying: "He was looking sick
A week ago. Has any word
About the little lad been heardY'
And then subscribers going by
Commenced to stop, look in and ask:
"Where is that boy whose merry eye
Made children gladr' And 80 the task
Of saying sadly: "Wish we knew.
We don't know what we're going to do
Without him." was burden drear.
The editor had grumbled low
For several days, and then "See here"
Said he to all, 81 want to know
Why no one IN the shop here gives
Me notice where our Jimmie lives"
The men looked stupidity around
And scanned each others faces blank,
But no ope made an answering sound,
While each ones heart within him sank
Twas plain that anxious, willing, they
Had never known and could not say
Where home for Little Jim might be.
And when they found tho breath to
speak ' n.e
They wondered how it was that he
Had never let them know. "We'll seek
Him out at ONCE" the chief then said,
And wondering how he scratched his head.
The best reporter with ga nose .
For neutrality-suspicious., too, was he
The editor then quickly chose
To hunt the lad up speedily.
"Just drop your other work today" .,
Said he, "and do this right away"
The scribbler issued forth, and glad
OF this assignment did he feel,
For in his heart be liked the Lad .
And wished he might promote his veal.
But though he searched with patient skill
The home was undiscovered still.
Ashamed he felt. He'd "fallen down.
With all his splendid effort made.
Too we'll he knew the at'ning frown
Which no excuse had e'er delayed.
But, strange enough, the chief well knew
He'd failed despite what skill could do,
And only said, "I'n try again
. And keep on trying till we're beat"
Next day another Of his men
With patient tramp through muddy
street
And alley searched and then came back
To say they still were off the track.
And then began about the place ....
A contest strange, a silence queer;
A mystery was in each face,
For all were hunting far and near,
And all were striving on the sly
To be the first to get an eye 4
On Little Jim. The foreman gray,
Reporters, and the pressman, too,
We're spending part of every day
To try some scheme or theory new,
But not one would e'er admit
He daily made fluke Of 1t.

Twas strange perhaps, yet simple quite,
That no one knew except by day

Twas strange perhaps, yet simple quite,
That no one knew except by day
This winsome boy, for when at night
He wended home the weary way,
It was with fast and puzzling pace
He sped, as if he ran race
With any who might watch to know
The winding alley, wretched street
To which he always had to go
To gain his home, his poor retreat,
The dreary spot which only he
Could brayely guard from misery.
Within the low and orumbling walls
To which he nightly went to sleep
His gayest, Hghtest, sweetest calls,
Which told of love, devotion deep,
We're: "Mother, sister, here we are.
How jolly that it isn't far
To comel' And, bless his loving heart,
He'd run above mile. Then they =
Who'd listened for his lively dart
Along the path would quickly say
How glad they were to have him there,
And none betrayed an aching care.
No wonder Little Jim was brave
With two such dear, unselflsh souls
lO Wdlb lOr Hull duu always eafo
Some dainty morsel on the Goals,
To greet him with a hug and kiss
The only things abundant. This
Darkened place, made clean and bright
And fortified by love and cheer,
Vouchsafed by Jimmie's "salary night"
Was rest and peace, sweet home ant
dear.
They three neer mentioned wretchedness
Nor would admit the plain distress. 8.
The mothers face was thin and sad
In spite Of patient smiles and sweet,
But otherwise much like the lad
She looked. His honest ways, his neat
And curling hair SO prone to stray
He had from her. Her haiI; now gray
And thinning, waved in curves above
A. whitened brow, whereon, engraved
By patience, which is born of love,
We're records Of her trials braved.
The goodness, in Jim's face assured,
Hers had, refined by things endured.
Jim's sister was little maid
OF summers ten and brave as he,
And though you saw her dresses frayed
You noticed in her face that she
Was lovelier than princess fair,
And anything which she might wear

OF turkeys plump and pudding sweetl
And such q hearty noise and din

And all began them just the saWe.
They started, g My dear madam, YOU ''-|s
And SO until they all were through
Turned always, plainly to address
Themselves to Jimmie's mother, and
Upon their words they laid such stress
That he could hardly understand
The meaning Of it all, but still
He felt his loving heartsTings thriu.A
The first to speak, the foreman gray,
Said, "Well-ahem-If feel that this--tt-s - u
That this-I dom It know what to say
| Except that in this hour Of bliss
| I'm happy for the trifing part II
That can take." He gave a start.
"You see-what was that sentencep on,
Yes. Don't you see on such day
We old ones don't know where to go,
And feel so--feel-wel, anyway
There's no such spot as this In town." ~
| And thereupon he sat him down.
Then that reporter, Oldest, best Il
OF all the staff, arose. Said he:
"We feel today that we are blessed;
That you-that Is to say, that we Z
Are here, and, on the other hand - IL
And here he tried to firmly stand
tThe fact Is, madam, every one 3,sf

No better In the time we've had.

Thought Little Jim, but then arose

And rubbed with nervous hand his nose
"There's nothing much to say" he said,
And swallowed air and scratched his head
I"And you-you know, Of course you do, {
Just how we feel just hew-of course
And that's the way we feel toward you.
Excuse me; I'm little hoarse." "
