men. two very beautiful country places
a;ong the Hudson have recently been
closed to bicyclists. Rare flowers had
been plucked, ferns dug up bodily,
boughs broken from the exotic trees,
peanut shells scattered over the lawns,
and the very owners of the grounds
warned by the insistent bell to stand
aside. No aristocracy can compare in
"effeteness" with such manners as
these. The arrogance of unbridled lib
erty is even ruder than the exclusive
ness of wealth.

THE SILENT nARcn.

When the march begins in the morning
And the heart and foot Is light,
When the flags are al a.fnuer
And the world is gay and bright,
When the bGgles lead the column
And he drums are proud in the van.
It's shoulder to shoulder. forward, marchl
All LEI him lag who cant
For it's easy to march to music
With your comrades all in line,
And you don'tget tircd,you feelinspired,
And life is draught divine.
When the march drags on at evening
And the oolor-bearer's gone,
When the merry strains are silent
That piped so brave in the dawn,
When you miss the dear old fellows
Who started out with you,
When it's stubborn and sturdy, forward,
marcbl
Though the ragged lines are few,
Then it's hard to march in silence:
| And the road has lonesome grown,
And life is bitter cup to drink;
But the soldier must not moan.
And this is the task before us,
A task we may never shirk,
In the gay time and the sorrowful time
We must march and do our work
We must march when the music cheers
us,
March when the strains are dumb,
Plueky and valiant, forward, marchl
And smile, whatever may come.
! For, whether life's hard or easy,
The strong man keeps the pace,
For the desolate march and the silent
The strong soul finds the grace.

The irritating poisons Of fermenting,
putrid food, left in the stomach by in
digestion, cause headache, neuralgia,
nervousness, dizziness, stomach ache,
nausea, irritability, and all the other
well-known symptoms Of indigestion.
They also cause many pains and
disorders which are often laid to other
causes and hence are not easily cured.
But as soon as the poisons are re.
moved, all these symptoms and dis,
