THE MONOTONE.

Hark! How the great, old ocean day and night
Breaks on you giant rock on a throne
That towers in silent night
In one long, plaintive, awful monotonel
Cnanswering ever towers the giant rock
Amid the centuries that come and CO.
As if 'twould only mock
The eternal voice that walled and walled be-
low.
IT'S thus, o God, the deep sea Of my soul
Breaks ever on the foot Of thy great throne,
Its dread but only goal,
In one long, plaintive, awful monotonel
Unanswered yet, but, hoping, still it calls;
will not the throne take pity on the woe9
How terrible if its walls
Are always silent to the wall belowl

A BOY whipped by Owls.

An Illinois boy went hunting one day
and in patch of woodland he saw
large owl perched high up in a tree.
Owls are not good to eat, and they are
useful to the farmer in catching mice
that infest the barn, but this boy, like
most boys, only thirsted to kill some
thing; so he fired, and brought down
the owl. He ran topick up the owl, sup
posing to be dead, but it was only
slightly disabled, and promptly fastened
its talons into the flesh of his right
hand. This was bad enough, but. pres
emily there came another owl, apparent
ly the mate of the first one, and the two
birds proceeded to give the young hunt
er such a thrashing as he will never
have again in his lifetime. Indeed, he
had to fight. with all his strength to
reach the spot where he had left his gun.
Securing that, he beat off the owls,
which finally took flight. Tattered, torn
and bleeding, the boy had no energy left
TO pursue them, or even to reload his
gun. He staggered to the nearest house.
had his wounds dressed and went home,
empty-handed, but twiser.--Golden Days.

In the sand wastes of southern Cali

found. The larger ones, called tiger
rattlers," sometimes attain a length of
four feet, but it is said that they are
sluggish, and far less dangerous than
smaller variety named the ''side-
winder." This name comes from the
snakes habit of moving sidewise, as
well as advancing in the ordinary man
ner 1t is also called the horned rattle

Food, undigested. is poison. Digested,
it is life and strength. Millions of US
suffer from indigestion, but we often
don't knowit. We think it is some
thing else. Even doctors often mistake
the symptoms.
Pale, thin people, who are eoverworked, I,
who need strength, who seem in want of
proper food, should take Shaker Digest
i've Cordial. 1t is astonishing what food
will do, when properly digested.
1t will make You strong, revive you,
refresh you, sustain you, make you fat,
restore your color, make muscle, brain
fibre, courage, endurance, energy; in
crease your power to throw off disease
and keep you healthy and happy.
Indigestion does just the opposite, but
indigestion can be cured and prevented
with Shaker Digestive Cordial.
