Summers s Come"
BY JACK BENNETT.

shes here-yes Stree, Bob-,that's what she ia
summers come, an life's worth livin' once
agin
W hee the airs as sweet an sunny
As If 1t was cream and honey,
With dash of old Catawby throwed in!
The hoppertoads 's pantin' in the grass
An the road is most ankle deep in dust,
Where the hens goes promenadin'.
An the shanghai ROSTERS wadin',
Proud as Lucifer, an CROWN fit to bust.
The water in the troft is bilin hot;
An the hOsses an the heifers hunt the shad'
Underneath the wilIer branches,
Layin' on their lazy ha'nches,
While they chaw their cud. er flop their tails
an wade.
It's most TOO hot fer even mumbly-peg,
So the youngsters stays in swimmin' all tht
day,
Where the water-bogs is curlin',
An he dragon-fiies is whirlin',
An TIA" river rifles laugh along the way.
The res ot cans of backberries in the bresh
An The boys is runnin' barefoot on the hill
Where the brier-rose is swingIn',
An the cat-bird is a-singin'
"Glory. glory, hallelujah - high an shrill
I'd rather live single summer day
Than fortnight in the spring er in the fall
An you kin sing the winters praises
In dozen different wayses,
Butthere amt no time like summer afteralli

Beware
OF the Knife.

Mr.. Lincoln Nelson, of Marshfeld, Mo.
writes: "For six years 1 have been 9
sufferer from scrofulous affection Of
the glands of my neck, and all efforts
of physicians in Washington, D. c..
Springfield, ILL.,, and St. Louis failed to
reduce the enlargement. After six
months constant Treatment here, my
physician urged me to submit to re-
mova1 of the gland. At this critical mo.
ment a friend recommended S.S.S.,
and laying aside deep-rooted preju.
dice against all patent medicines, be.
gan its use. Before had used one bot.
tie the enlargement began to disappear,
and now it is entirely gone, though am
not through with my second bottle yet.
Had only used your S.S.S. long ago,
would have escaped years of misery
and saved over $I5o."
This experience is like that of all who
suffer with deep-seated blood troubles.
The doctors can do no good, and even
their resorts to the knife prove either
fruitless or fatal. S.S.S. is the only
real blood remedy; it gets at the root Of
the disease and forces it out perma-
nently.

Inconsiderate Employers.


Then there are all the trials which
inconsiderate employers. There are pro-
fessed Christian men who have no more
regard for their clerks than they have
for the scales on which the sugars are
weighed. A clerk is no more than SO
much store furniture No consideration
for their rights or interests Not one
word of encouragement from sunrise to
sunset, nor from January to December.
But when anything goes wrong-a
streak of dust on the counter or a box
with the cover off-thunder showers of
scolding. Men imperious, capricious,
cranky toward their clerks-their whole
manner as much as to say, "All the in
terest have in you is to see what can
get out of you" Then there are all the
trials of incompetent wages, not in
such times as these, when if man gets
half salary for his services he ought
to be thankful, but I mean in prosper
GUS times. Some of you remember when
the war broke out and all merchandise
went up, and merchants were made
millionaires in six months by the SIM
pie rise in the value of goods. Did the
clerks get advantage of that rise? Some
times, not always. / saw estates gath
cred in those times over which the
curse of God has hung ever since. The
