FOR THE YOUNG.
The Second Table.

Some boys are mad when compny comes to
stay for meals. They hate
To have the other people eat while boys must
wait and watt
For, as for me, b'lieve like the second table
best.
To eat along with comp'ny is so trying, forit's
tough
To sit and watch the victuals when you das-
sent touch the stuff
You see your father serving out the dark meat
and the light
Until a boy is sure he'll starve before he gets a
bite.
And when he asks you what you'll have
you've heard it all before
You know you'll get just what you get and
won't get nothing more,
For when you want an other piece your m other
winks her eye,
And so you say 1--WE plenty, pleased and tell
whopping lie.
When comp'ny is a-watching you, you've
got to be polite
And eat your vctuals with a fork and take a
little bite.
You can't have nothing till you're asked and
cause a boy is small
Folks think he isn't hungry, and he's never
asked at all.
when the cake
Is passed around, the proper thing is for a
boy to take
The piece that's nearest to him, and so all
ever got
When comp ny's been to our house, was the
smallest in the lot.
1t worries boys like everything to have the
company stay
A setting round the table like they couldn't
get away.
But when they've gone and left the whole
big shooting match to me,
Say, amt it fun to just wade in and help my
self? Oh gee
With no one round to notice what you're
doing. bet your life
Boys don't use forks to eat with when they'd
rather use a knife,
Nor take such little bites as when they're
eating with the rest.
And so, for lots of things, like the second
table best

Dickens and Children.

Charles Dickens love Of children is well
illustrated in the following story: He
was walking in the neighborhood of Gad's
Hill one day, not long after he had &C.
quired his property there, when he sud-
denly ran into little girl wheeling a
dolls perambulator. In an instant the
tiny vehicle upset, the dolls were thrown
out.
1t was bad accident as far as they
were concerned, for wax heads and limbs
are not calculated to stand much hard
usage. The little maid burst into tears
and, much to the noveist's sorrow, re-
fused to be comforted.
"Then come home with me-" Dickens
whispered soothingly, "and we'll see il
we can't find some grand waxen lady in
silks and satins for you"
So back to the big house the two went
and sure enough, up in his children's
nursery he managed to discover few
prettily dressed dolls. With these safely
tucked in her perambulator the little CIR
trotted off.
But it is in the sequel that the best part
of the story lies. The child's heart was
set on making some return for the kind
ness, so her parents, who had not thu
faintest suspicion OF her friends person
atty, took her to town to choose some
thing. Her choice fell eventually upon
gorgeously-bound book.
When Dickens the next day undid tn,
parcel his small visitor had brought hin
he was surprised and delighted to see
copy of David Copper6eld."
Not until many years later, when the.
met again in society, did the little cir
learn who the kind gentleman" was.

felt letters, telling how Paine's celery
compound has made them well.
Their testimony simply goes to show
what New England's most vigorous
editor so aptly said in letter telling OF
the benefit Paine's celery compound had
been to a member of his family: "Paine's
celery compound is not a patent medi-
cine; it is not sarsaparilla; it is not a
mere tonic; it is not an ordinary nervine
1t is as far hey them all as the da-
mond is superior to cheap glass"
1t makes people well. 1t is the one
true specific recognized and prescribed
today by eminent practitioners for
diseases arising from debilitated ner-
vous system. Prof. Phelps gave to his
profession a positive cure for sleepless-
ness, wasting strength, dyspepsia, bill
iousness, liver complaint, neuralgia,
rheumatism, all nervous diseases and
kidney troubles. For all such com.
plants Paine's celery compound has
succeeded again and again, where every.
thing else has failed.
When Modjeska in letter published in
Boston said: II have found Paine's
celery compound the very best of all
remedies for the nervous exhaustion con-
sequent upon the arduous work OF my
profession" she voiced the experience Of
every tired-out, rundown, exhausted
woman who ever went to this greatest
OF all spring remedies for relief.
No one ever yet failed to find strength
and health returning who faithfully used
natures true remedy - Paine's celery
compound.

Found Paine's Celery Compound
the Best Of Remedies
For the Nervous Exhaustion Consequent Upon
Her Arduous Work--The Remarkable Ar
tiste Who Stands Pre-EmnentIy at the
Head of Her Profession.

The news of Modjeska's recovery from
the recent severe sickness that compelled
her to leave the stage will be a source OF
congratulation to the whole world.
Modjeska, in letter to Wells, Richard.
son & Company, says she has found
what thousands Of people in every sta
ton Of life have so often heartily testi-
fed) that Paines celery compound is the
very best remedy fornervous exhaustion.
Joseph Haworthrightly calls Modjeska
"the peerless queen of artistes."
Modieskas health is matter OF world.
wide interest, and her testimonial 10 the
value OF the great remedy which makes
people well is of particular moment in
the early spring, when from every
quarter reports come of men, women and
children who are taking Paines celery
compound, and are gaining in nervous
vigor, weight and every other indication
OF better health.
The thoughtful portion of the COM
munity knows the need of purifying the
blood and regulating the nervous and
alimentary systems as spring comes
on.
There is the danger that in their eager
ness to take spring remedy thought
less person may carry home some bogus
concoction prepared with only such a
smattering OF medical knowledge as can
be picked up behind counter.
Paine's celery compound is prepared in
exact accordance with the prescription
of Prof. Edward E. Phelps, M. D., IL
D.. OF Dartmouth college. Its curative
effects have been closely watched by the
ablest physicians of every school, and
they are today agreed that it stands
alone as the reliable remedy for building
up PERSONS health in the spring.
The most overwhelming testimony to
the value of Paine celery compound that
has recently appeared from men and
women of national reputation:
Hon. George b. Swift, mayor oil
Chicago;
Francis Murphy, the foremost apostle
oftemperance in the world;
Mrs. Matthew S. Quay, wife of the
