The man who goes to find the North
Pole must be strong, and brave, and
healthy. His is dangerous and health
irving task. His nerves must be steady
10 keep his vessel from wreck. His blood
must be pure and rich to Withstand ex-
posure and fatigue.
These things are equally as important
to the man who stops at home and works,
for death and disaster are not confined to
the Arctic regions. Steady nerves, pure
blood and healthy vigor are essential to
health and success anywhere in the
world. Thousands of men do not seem
to realize this and go about half alive and
miserable Just for lack of little of the
proper medicine. DR.. Pierces Golden
Medical Discovery is designed to help
them. 1t is a blood vitalizer-a nerve

every man or woman who is not exactly

to be. 1t produces strong, sound, solid
flesh - brings springiness back to the

THE FIRST SNOWFALL.

The snow had begun in the cleaning
And busily all the night
Had been heaping field and highway
With silence deep and white.
Every pine and fir and hemlock
Wore ermine too dear for an earl,
And the poorest twig on the elm tree
Was ridged inch deep with pearl
From sheds new rooted with Carrara
Came chanticleer's muff1ed crow,
The stiff rails were softened to swansdown
And still futtered down to snow.
/ stood and watched by the window
The noiseless work Of the sky,
And the sudden flurries of snowbirds,
Like brown leaves whirling by
thought of n mound in sweet Auburn
Where little headstone stood;
How the flakes were folding it gently
AS did robins the babes in the wood.
Up spoke our own little Mabel,
Saying, "Father who makes it snowp"
And | told Of the good All-Father
Who cares for us here below.
Again l looked at the snowfall
And thought of the leaden gky
That arched DER our first great sorrow
When that mound was heaped so high
! remember the gradual patience
That fell from that cloudlike snow.
Flake by flake, healing and hiding
The scar of our deep plunged woe
And again to the child l whispered,
1.-THE snow that husheth ALL
Darling, the merciful Father
Alone can make it fall"
Then, with eyes that saw not, kissed her
And she, kissing back, could not know
That my kiss was given to her sister,
Folded close under deepening snow.
