IHAT oLo SION AoUsE.

An old stone Rouse, VIII us nlOSses gray
Where played in childhood, gay and free
And dreamed many happy hours away,
Is to me bright. sweet memory.
1t stood near creek whose blithesome song
With dreamy music AIled all the air.
AS it rolled and danced and gamboled along
Through the meadows with blooming clover
fair.
Il commanded a view more wide and grand
OF orchard and field and wood and stream
Than any farmstead in the land
That borrows naught from boytsh dream
And tho voices OF bees and frogs and birds,
All blending in strange, glad harmony
With the gentle lowing of the browsing herds
Thrill me still as n lingering melody.
And the faces of those who made it home
With smiles OF affection so tender and true
cherish most fondly wherever roam
AS the fairest sight that ever knew.
oh, that old stone house, so NOISY and gray.
With all that 1t was and once enshrined.
Has cheered for me oft life's rugged way
As called its vanished charms to mind.

THE REST CURE.

This is often the best cure. But many
people cannot afford to rest indefinitely.
Worse still, the very knowledge that they
cannot, seriously interferes with the best use
of the rest they have. Too often going to the
doctor means that the patient shall stop short,
while cares and duties and expenses continue.
Many, therefore. hesitate and delay.
Drs. starlsey tS Palen's Compound Oxygen
Treatment presents an easy way out of the
dilemma; it has done so for more than n score
of years and for more than three score thous-
and people. The agent used is the Compound
Oxygen. The method puts it where it win do
the most goed-in the lungs. The IL Treatment

"Well, say" said the clerk, with a
mysterious wink, chow would good

The clerk tookl one with | his guest,

"Hope you slept we'll. just going in to

wink-"what do you think of nice
cocktail for an appetizer?"
Mr.. Smith, who believes in picking up
all the gold nuggets on which he stubs
his toes while walking lffe's pathway,
yielded assent. He also wondered what
kind of game he had discovered.
At noon the obsequious clerk was at
the dining room door.
Would q bottle of beer tit in with
your dinner, Mr.. Smith,
The now thoroughly astonlshed Smith
simply nodded.
That afternoon he left town. His bill

At the depot he was engaged in CONVEX

Mr.. Smith told him.
"You sh'd been at ozzer house." was
the emphatic answer. Every thing

Mr., Smith thought he had done pretty
