KATIE AND THE OLD GUITAR.

sNFN FNaN0 N-1 NSA 1AA
The sweetest strain that ever
MY rantured ears have heard
know that memory never
Can Jose a single word
Was ON balmy evening
That crowned q summer day
When Katie tuned the old guitar
And sang my heart away.
The happy starlight beaming
Upon her lily throat
Set wistful fancy dreaming
With every haunting note.
It was no idle ballad.
No scnseless modern lay;
With ''Bonnie Annie Laurie" 10,
She sang my heart away.
And when the song was over
And Katie breathed sigh,
She, too. could boast lover
Who would lay him down and die.
Twas then told my secret,
And still bless the day
When Katie tuned tho old guitar
And sang my heart away.

The BEST
SPRING MEDICINE

is SIMMONS LIVER REGULATOR
forget to take it. The Liver gets sluggish
during the Winter, just like all nature,
and the system becomes choked up by
the accumulated waste, which brings on
Malaria, Fever and Ague and Rheuma-
tisrn. You want to wake up your Liver
now, but be sure you take SIMMONS
LIVER REGULATOR to do it. 1t also
regulates the Liver-keeps it properly at
work, when your system will be free from
poison and the whole body invigorated.
You get THE BEST BLOOD when
your system is in Al condition, and that
will only be when the Liver is kept active.
Try Liver Remedy once and note the
difference. But take only SIMMONS
LIVER REGULATOR-it is SIMMONS
LIVER REGULATOR which makes the
difference. Take it in powder or in liquid
already prepared, or make a tea Of the
powder; but take SIMMONS LIVER REGU-
LATOR. You'll find the RED Z on every
package. Look for it.
