THE BEST KING.

THE BEST KING.
You may talk of the pleasure of filling throne,
And ruling nation whose homage ia shown,
And owning palace with millions Of pelf,
And nothing to do but enjoy yourself.
You may envy the few who are doing these things
And wish you we're born to be one OF the kings
But if you will only look into my door
I'll show you king who has happiness more.
When days work is over. W ith wings on my feet,
TO fly to my humble home palace so sweet
And pause ON its threshold a moment to see
The windows illumined with brightness for me.
And then when enter, my subjects, who show
More love and affection than real kings know,
A vic with each other in giving m there
A welcome that's royal and joyful 10 share.
My beautiful queen with the prince in her arms.
Both decked for my coming and glowing viii
charms,
Salute me as if returned fir. III war
Though .ssood-bye' was said few hours bef re.
My brave heir apparent, too big TO be hell.
And with true boys growing ar'ior impe!le,l,
Extends me greeting Withdrawing its noise
No knight but myself on homecoming enjoys.
My two little prime sses, mode and sweet
And miniature modes OF mother compete,
Enchantingly slip their soft fingers III mine
And lead me, so willing, right into my shrine.
Then dofing my coat, robe and derby hat-croxn,
To "a dinner that's fit for king" sit down,
And asking blessng-which kings never do
banquet have-and an appetite, too.
Such cooking-all home made-pss, ,ddings and
CAKES,
Which only queen lk, my own ever makes,
So dainty. SO wholesome, 50 COOL, everyth ns-
The feast emf " is unknown to a king.
And after the banqu +, in slippers an gown.
In my easy chair throne 1 sit costly down
And listen to music and song from my queen,
Much sweeter, think, than palace has seen.
rhen after my subjects, SO loyal with love,
Are sent by the sandman to dreamland above,
My queen and her ng settle down to enjoy
The quiet of home-which ob will destroy.
Affairs Of the State never worry us there;
No treason we fear and no dangers we dare;
With papers and books and sweet converse we find
Comp anionship rare of the spirit and mind
With a conscience serene 1 Can sleep on my bed
Without any guard to keep watch on my head.
And rise in the morning to lovingly reign
O'er my little home kingdom Of dear ones again.

Acid dyspepsia, commonly called heart
burn or sour stomach, is form of indges-
ton resulting from fermentation of the food
The stomach being too weak to promptly
digest it. the food remains until fermenta-

many people do nothing for the trouble.
Within recent period remedy has been
discovered prepared solely to cure dyspepsia
and stomach troubles. 1t is known as Stu

cure for every form OF dyspepsia.
Stuarts Dyspepsia Tablets have been

And while we are talking of wedding

happened less than q month ago. Several
Young women had been invited TO attend
a young companion on the occasion OF her
marriage and a few days before the cere-
mony married kinswoman of the pride
elect gave them all a breakfast. The mar
ried kinswoman is a woman of ideas ana
as an entertaining feature of the AFFAIR she
arranged list of toasts. A girl from New
York acted as POSTMASTER. She was almost
an utter stranger 10 the other guests, but
she made an exceedingly witty speech. In
closing it, she said:
II shall ask Miss Blank to respond to
the first sentiment. a sentiment which l
am sure she will deal with earnestly and
with feeling. Miss Blank, / give you, Why

Everybody turned pale Miss Blank

tears and ran out of the room. The New
York girl found out later that Miss Blank
had once been bethrothed to a Western
gentleman, who had eloped with one OF
her friends almost on the eve of their we'd
ding day. The New York girl was so angry
at the hostess for putting her in the way
of making such a cruel, false step that she
took the next train for home, and her place
in the bridal procession was empty.

vocal instructors discover the most of
them, carefully train their voices and give
them a. concert and operate repertory, but
alas our foreign impressarios, who despise
everything American but its dollars, will
have none of them as long as some one
age, can be found on the other side to come
over with the magnet of former reputa-
ton to hoodwink the American public for
a single season. 1t is to laugh, really.

''Tess of the D UrberviIles,' in which Mrs.
half of this week. is declared to be the most
satisfying rendering of a great story into
stage form seen in the theater in years.
To persons familiar with Hardys powerful
novel, it is said, the play makes more vivid
the impressions of the book, the holding of
the characters and incidents to the exigen-
cies of the theater having been effected
with marvellous skill, while in the drama
there is rich element of comedy that is in
perfect harmony with the more impressive
and vital incidents of the work. as it is
woven sympatheticaly from Hardy's own
suggestions. The play opens on the dairy
farm, where Tess, dairy maid, loves and
is beloved by Angel Clare, who wishes to
marry her and take her with him to Bra
zl, where he will begin life in earnest. Tess
hesitates. She believes that Glare should
know of the blighting incident in her life
Her mother appears on the scene and warns
Tess against confession to Clare. Tess is
honest and determines to reveal her past
She cannot tell Glare face to face. She
writes him a message, trusting her fate to
his forgiveness. The message goes astray.
Clare comes to her. She thinks he knows
all and has forgiven her. She will marry
him and they will be happy. The scene
Immediately after the wedding is remarka-
bic for its color and its contrasts. Tess
family make merry with her. with differing
IDEAS. Inc DAIRY nstlUS anu the yOkeIS COIl-
tribute fund of comedy Tess and Glare
are left alone. AS in the book, the husband
ccnfesses his own fault and is forgiven
BY strange incident Tess learns that Clare
knows nothing of her past. In scene of
confession that tugs at the heart strings
she tells him of Alec p Urberville. Clare
ca SITS her from him and leaves. The subse-
quent scenes embrace the triumph of Alec
over Tess his brutal treatment that results
in the murder, described as one of the great
est scenes in the modern drama, and the
return of Clare, with the arrest OF Clare and
Tess The play here is advertised to be
staged as it was in New York, and the
company is made up of excellent actors.

which he thought he had left standing in

were missing.
The Oak Park police were notified and de-
scriptions of the horse and vehicle sent to
the different stations. In addition to this
Officers Mahoney and Schwartz, of Oak
Park station, were detailed on the case, but

thought struck the clerk that he had not
entered his customers residence by the
front way, but had gone to the rear. He
hurriedly left his home, and going to the

much surprised to see the horse and wagon,
with the groceries intact, standing as he
had left them the night before.

The Modern Method.
Washington Post.


Il don't believe the modern schoolboy
half appreciates his blessings" said a man
who went TO school in the old days and in
the old ways HE has entirely too easy a
time. I was passing one of the public
schools one afternoon when the leaves were
just beginning to fall. / saw a small boy
and a teacher come out of the building to-
gether and walk across 10 the little park
opposite / remembered an old teacher OF
mine, who used to take me out in just that
way years ACCUSED TO take me out and
have me select a long and 1.-THE switch,
which we took indoors and used / was the
usee. l hoped the boy had deserved what
he was 10 get. and / walked slow to see
the switch selected. The teacher directed
the boys attention to an unusually large
and beautiful leaf The boy picked II up.
Then l heard the teacher say, What tree
does that leaf belong to-?
''The boy named the tree. Can you spell
it?' asked the teacher. The boy spelled II,
and they proceeded 10 other leaves. Thew
weren't looking for a rod they were simply
having an object lesson in botany. We
didn't do il that way in my day, l can tell
you, but perhaps the new way is better.
It's easier on the boy, anyway.
