kIondikerS Speed AWAY.
LRy Rev. IraLeRaron

TBy Rev. Ira LeBaron
They've struck the rich and shining ore,
Upon the Klondike frozen shore:
Treasures immense they now have found.
Amidst the hard and frozen ground.
Big money Is now the prospect fair
Which all the diggers hope to share;
All are on the high qm pipe
And largest treasures hope to see.
All the country just now resounds.
With cries OF men and pranciug hounds:
just count the thousands'-there they 60.
Their pluck. and grit and sand they show.
with greatest haste they speed away.
Can hardly wait-less stay away.
They hasten on by land and sea
High hopes are echOing in their glee
with greatest treasures now In view.
They think they know Just what To do.
With plans ali laid the DAYS seem tong
Take up their march with gladstone song
Men are staked or 90 themselves
TO lay their treasures on their shelves
with picks. and shovels and steam putnpS
They u pile their treasures by the Jumps
Hardshtps are counted very small
The solid gold is counted ALI
No limit 10 the promised gain
Gold crazes seem some times insane
For mighty conquest keep up good grit
And see that all your plans Just hit
Rough il without single tear
with highest hopes ana right good cheer
Let others talk Of eating dogs
OF being lost in dismal iogs
OF being wrecked or frozen stiff
But bend your energies the gold 10 lift
You know for sure the gold is there
And scattered broadcast everywhere.
The richest finds along the rivers
Then break the ground and rocks To shivers
Then pile your treasures mountain high
hut never think they'll reach the Sky:
In God we trust be now your aim
BE sure and get the hi sher claim
Lancaster bows We bid God-spced
q may they never suffer need
Their tolls be crowned with richest finds
with greatest treasurerS from the mines

Dig down TO the cause of your sick
ness If you want to get well and stay
well. Most likely it's indigestion.
The irritating poisons Of fermenting.
putrid food left in the stomach BY in
digestion cause neuralgia, nervous
ness, dizziness. stomach-aehe. nausea,
irritability, and all other well-kaown
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 dlsor-
ders disappear, because there Is moth
ing left to cause them Nothing sue
ceeds in this like Shaker Digestive
Cordial, because it prevents the undi-
gested food from fermenting in the
stomach and helps the stomach to di-
gest its food.

Root just the remedy you need. Peo-
pie are not apt to get anxious about
their health soon enough II you are
mot quite WELL or half sick have
you ever thought that your kidneys
may be the cause of your sickness?
1t is easy to tell by setting aside
your urine for "a hours; a sediment or
settling indicates an unhealthy condi-
ton OF the kidneys. When urine
stains linen it is evidence OF kidney
trouble. Too frequent desire to uri-
nate, scanty supply. pain or dull ache
in the back is also convincing proof
that the kidneys and bladder need
doctoring.
There is satisfaction in knowing
that the great remedy. DR.. Kilmer's
Swamp-Root. fulfills every wish in the
relieving weak or diseased kidneys
and all forms of bladder and urinary
troubles. Not only does Swamp-Root
give new life and activity to the kid
neys-the cause of trouble, but BY
treating the kidneys it acts as tonic
for the entire constitution. II
