There is more catarrll in this Sec
ton of the country than all other
diseases put together, and until the
last few years was supposed to be
incurable. For great many years
doctors pronounced it a local dis

and by constant failing to cure with
local treatment, pronounced it in
durable. Science has proven ca
tarrk to be constitutional disease,
and therefore requires constitution

ADOUBLE EDGED DOCTRINE.

Dives May Not Like 1t So Well When
Lazarus Accepts 1t rs His Rule.
An enlightened contemporary which
approves Of trusts and insists that there
is no social problem brightens the
Christmas holidays by telling the poor
that they are guilty Of impiety in COM
planning of inequality Of condition. 1t
is God, they are kindly informed, who
has decreed that some men shall be
clever and others incapable. Therefore
it logically follows that the person who
Is dissatisfied with being cold and hun
cry when he sees others warm and well
fed impugns the wisdom Of his Maker.
This is the good old doctrine that
whatever is is right. The poor can con-
sent to accept that doctrine, with an
extension to meet their needs. To stop
its application at the status quo is a
comfortable practice in vogue with GER
tain philosophers who are themselves
well provided for, but it happens that
dissatisfaction with the unequal distri-
button of wealth is an existing fact
quite as apparent as the unequal distri-
button. Therefore the dissatisfaction is
right. So also are all efforts to bring
about more just state of things. By
the hypothesis even anarchistic dyna-
mite explosions are no more to be CON-
planned of than cases of starvation in
the midst of plenty. Whatever occurs
must be right simply because it occurs.
Whatever comes to pass. even the hold
ing up and robbing of the whatever is
is right philosophers, cannot be object
ed to without committing the sin of
blasphemy.
On the whole, we are Of the opinion
that when Dives thinks a little more
deeply about this doctrine it will not he

wish. He may be willing to see the be-
neficent design of God i'll placing him in

misery we see all around us is the fruit

have an indefensible right to cry out.

UP IN THE LOFT.

Up i'll the loft, mid scented clover,
Five of us perclled and talked it over
Talked of the years that Jagged and waited,
Full of the gold of fancy freighted;
Full of the joys that Hope was living
Joys that the world is slow in giving
Full of the honors Youth can spread
Over its own fair head
Tom was colonel brave and comely
There in his worsted garments homely;
Jack was doctor all were seeking,
Jem was lawyer, glib of speaking;
Fred as merchant bought and sold
Half of the world for leaves of gold
And was sailing the wide seas over,
There in my ship of scented clover.
Up in the tomb of blossoms sitting,
Ghosts of the past were round us fitting;
Forms that magical deeds had done,
Came to us one by one
All of the tales we had neard and read,
Now were sung or said
Tom of the knights with helmets glancing,
Under their snow-white plumage dancing;
Jem of the genii weird of mission
Jack of the sages' cold ambition
Fred OF the lamp WHICH, aim auI Ola,
Lighted Aladdin to fame and gold
And was at heart Sinbad rover,
Gathering in gems in a vale of clover.
Up in the couch Of the grasses lying,
There as the winds outside were signing,
There in that field of fragrant clover,
All of us whispered some sweetheart name
Happy no two the same.
All of us murnured secrets there,
OF tiny maidens fair
In that chapel of scented clover,
Each of us vowed himself lover.
How did the castles we were building
Fall with the sunrise fragile gliding
How were the hopes Desire was giving
Crushed in the wear and tear of living
How, i'll the noontides steady glare,
Gone are our maiden's fair
Toms in u few years, sedatey
Married a judge, severe and stately:
lack had the "mltten" prematurely,
lem has a wife he loves unsurely:
Fred has one who, dainty elf,
Married his money, and not himself:
And she whose image thoughtfuly gay
Lit brightest the loft on that winter day,
Sleeps, when the summer winds fly over,
Solemnly meath the blooming clover.
