Where hedging rocks are seen,
Where dangerous snares beset her feet,
And still she walks serene.
A censor in her hand she swings
Across the jagged way
And 10! the rocks with verdure bloom
Beneath her mystic sway.
Entranced I ask, 20 vision fair
How passed yos that grim land?
What are those rocks so gray and dread,
What magic IN you. tand,"
Upon her censor RIM l read,
"Aeross LIES .nags o. haze and sin
A woman's elub shall surely Lad
To beauty, love and peace within"
She spoke, "Those rocks
to beauty grown,
Are politics where l am known;
Those gloomy crags
bloomed forth in flowers
Are public schools trans
formed to bowers"
Ason she passed living stream
Of brilliant light arose,
Which slowly spread DER all the scene
And daily brighter grows.

TO PASS THE CROWD.
All Cannot Be Brilliant No Matter Row

1T probably comes to every thoughtful
person at times that there are plenty of
common, mediocre people. and that If
one determines to, he or she can press to
the front, pass the crowd, and win
cosition. fame and gold. 1t is largely
81 matter of determination and health.
MANY a determined character with brill
liant possibilities, is held back by Ill
beultb. Some find that bright, keen
+bonohts refuse to come to their brains,
and wonder why.
The kind of brain work that

Lawyers, Doctors, Authors, etc., etc.,
makes heavy draughts on the hlllng OF
the minute nerve cells of the body, said
filing being composed of greyish sort OF
material which must be replaced DAY by

body will not act properly.
Coffee is hidden but powerful enemy
to ones progress in life. Its sunVie'
narcotic poison, weakens heart, 1nterieref

destructive effect on the nervous system
People who are content to load thein-
selves with impediments to progress VINO

drink of the kind needed to make up 1oi
the daily disintegration of the nerve ano

Postum Food Coffee furnishes the
gluten and phosphates of grain needed by
nature to nourish brain and nerves with

because of improper preparation, but II

erage if, after boiling commences, 1t

There are those who are entirely care

greatness, cannot afford to risk adulterat-

1t is really high class minstrel per-

nothing of the old King himself, is one
that ia well worth seeing. The specialties
are quite clever. The football scenes
