THE BEST REMEDY FOR RuEUMA-
TIsM.-The Falrhayen, N. Y, Register
says: Mr.. James Rowland of this vii
lage states that for twenty-five years
his wife has been sufferer from rheu-
matlsm. A few nights ago she was in
such pain that she was nearly crazy
She sent Mr.. Rowland for the doctor,
but he had read of Chamberlain Pain
Balm and instead Of going for the ply
stefan he went to the store and secured
a bottle of it. His wife did not approve
of Mr.. Rowland's purchase at first, but
nevertheless applied the Balm thor
oughly and in an hours time was able
to go to sleep. She now applies it
whenever she feels an ache or pain
and finds that it always gives relief
He says no medicine which she had used
eyer did her as much good. The 20 and

Worms and their Treatment

1t would surprise most people to learn
how much of the sickness of children is due
to worms in the stomach and intestines.
When they have Indigestion and a variable
appetite, when the tongue is foul and the
breath is offensive, gripings and pains occur
about the navel, the nose itches, the child
grinds its teeth, starts during sleep, has a
short, dry cough, and sometimes convul-
sions, all these symptoms indicate that
worms are sapping the strength of the child,
and the symptoms disappear when the
worms are expelled, and the system is no
longer robbed of the nourishmentit requires.
Worms are most frequently found in chill
dren. but they are by no means rare in
adults; and they are the unsupported cause
OF many diseases. For expelling worms
from the body, nothing better has been dis
covered than the remedy that was in use
in New England homes nearly half a
century ago-Dr. True's Pin Worm Elixir,
which, besides its action on worms, purities
and enriches the blood, thus causing COM
plete restoration of health 1t is ESPECIALLY
recommended because when it is used as a
precautionary measure, and no worms are
present, it exerts its tonic influence, and can
do no harm.

The 9th err Side.

There are two sides to the Klondike
story. One side has been thoroughly told,
the other is just getting hearing. The
Portland Press recently printed letter
from former resident of that city, who
is now a member of a Miners Supply
Company in Salmo, British Columbia. 1t
would be for his interest to have rush to
that country, yet one of his closing SEN
fences is: ''My advice to all if they have a
home and money, is to be wise and stay
in Maine. From man who has had any
amount of Arctic experience learn that
gold does not grow on bushes or on the
top of the ground" He states that 81. QUO
is necessary to provide all supplies, ETC.,
and that by time a person is fairly at work
his thousand will be gone. ''Last spring
there were 1000 people in the country,
out of which thirty one have come out of
the diggings with a fortune. There will
be snow flying there by the 25th of this
month, and at least 10000 people in the
winter. At least 1900 of them will die
there. If $50 make strike out of 20, 600
it will be above the average. People not
used to this country will suffer untold
agony"

The BOyless Town.

A cross old woman of long ago
Declared that she hated noise,
The town would be so pleasant, you know
If only there We're no boys"
She scolded and fretted about it till
Her eyes grew heavy as lead,
And then, of a sudden, the town grew still
For all the boys had fed.
And all through the long aud dusty street
There wasn't a boy in view;
The baseball lot where they used to meet
Was sight to make one blue.
The grass was growing on every base,
And the paths that the runners made;
For there wasn't soul in all the place
Who knew how the game was played
The dogs We're sleeping the livelong day
Why should they bark or leap?
There wasn't whistle or call to play,
And so they could only sleep
The pony neighed from his lonely stall,
And longed for saddle and rein;
And even the birds on the garden wall
Chirped only duh refrain.
The cherries rotted and went to waste
There was no one to climb the trees;
And nobody had single taste,
Save only the birds and bees
There wasn't a messenger boy-not one
10 speed as such messengers can;
If people wanted their errands done,
They sent for messenger man.
There was little, ween, of frolic and noise
There was less of cheer and mirth;
The sad old town, since it lacked its boys,
w as the dreariest place on earth.
The poor old woman began to weep
Then woke with a sudden scream:
Dear me.' she Cried 81 have been asleep
And oh, what horrid dream''

Lay of the Texas hen.

We have read of Maud, on a summers
day,
Who raked, barefooted, the newmown hay
We have read of the maid in the early morn,
Who MIXED the COW with the crumped
horn
We've read the lays that the poets sing,
OF the rustGng corn and the flowers of
But of all the lays of tongue or pen,
There's naught like the lay of the Texas
Long long before Maud rakes her hay,
The Texas hen begins her lay,
And ere the milkmaid stirs peg,
The hen is up and has dropped her egg.
The corn must rustic and the flowers spring,
Ii they'd hold their own with the barn yard
ring.
II Maud is needing hat or gown
She doesn't hustle her hay to town,
She goes to the store and obtains her suit
For basket full of fresh hen fruit
If the milkmaid's beau makes a Sunday call
She doeSn t feed him on milk at all,
But she works the eggs into a custard pie,
And stuffs him full of chicken fry.
When the old man really wants horn,
Does he take the druggist { p load of corn
Not much He simply robs nest,
And to town he goes-you know the rest,
He fingers there and talks perchance
VI urue reform anu correct tee-nance,
While his poor wife stays at home and
scowls,
But IS saved from want by these selfsame
fowls,
For while her husband fingers there,
She watches the cackling hens with care 3,
And gathers the eggs, and the eggs she'll
hide,
Till she's saved enough to stem the tide.
Then hail, all hail, to the Texas hen,
The greatest blessing of all to men!
Throw up your hats and make home howl,
For the perseverng barnyard fowl
Though cotton's king, it's plainly seen,
That the Texas hen is really queen.

A Slumber Song.

You with the dark and weary eyes,
Weary of love and sacrifice,
Come with me over the waters pale
In my small gray boat with the slender sail
Into the twilight we shall steal,
And the little gray waves along our keel
Shall sing you a slumber song of the sea,
Where sleep endureth unendingly
The gray Sea Spirits in tender wise
Shall lay cool hands upon your eyes;
In their arms Of mist you shall fall asleep,
And sea dreams into your soul shall creep.
And none shall know,-but on the shore
The old gray willows, bent and hoar,
Shall shlver and sigh to themselves next day
Leaning out over the sea Away.

asked If this was due to an increased de.
