Yo'd think twas dawn o. kingdom come
When Parlin draws the bowl
The bari at Parlin's settin on
Keeps still because it must,
But every human at hears the fun
Hez got to dance or bust.
Wy, even the candles on the wall,
They dance an flicker low
When the boys jes stomp as they ''sasshay

Mas seventy nine, you know,
But shell skip an hop till it beats the Dutch
When Parlin draws the bowl

To sound in paradise?

More enthusiastic still is the report of
Miriam F. Witherspoon, General Secretary
of the Associated Charities of Worcester,
Mass. (3s Pearl street,, regarding the
great value, as medicine, of DIR. Greene's
Nervura and its marvellous powers to cure
disease and restore health to the people.
She says:-
Gin my work as General Secretary of

DIR. Greene's Nervura blood and nerve
remedy among the needy poor and sick,
and it has been received with thankfulness
and great Joy. One poor woman said she
had been trying to save money enough to
buy bottle, and when she found was to
give her one, her joy and gratitude were
great.
"In all cases the results have been as
we hoped for, building up the feeble, ner-
vous, overworked and underfed people
who have in general no helper. AS far as
my experience goes it has been a real
blessing. M. F. WITHERsPooN,
Gen'l Sec'y Associated Charities"
In these days when so many ordinary

benefcence to the weak, weary, nerve

fering to know positively and to be shown
beyond any doubt or question that this
one grand remedy, DIR. Greene's Nervura,
does surely and certainly cure the sick;
that it is the best remedy possible to take,
either if one is only little out of order,
nervous and run down, or if suffering
from more serious affections like nervous
prostration, low blood and vitality, rheu
matism, paralysis, stomach troubles, liver
and kidney complaint, female weakness or
other weakening and facilitating disease.
In these reports of the Associated Chari-
ties is abundant proof that DIR. Greene's
Nervura does cure the people, that it
makes those who use it strong and well,
and that it will cure you if you will take
it. Don't fail to try it now.

Among the stupendous mountains of
Peru gold may be had for the seeking,
but death is for the white man who
seeks it. When old Juan went back to
his mountains and some old acquaint-
ances, with another swarthy man who
spoke only as he did and was his friend,
their right of occupancy of hut and
lands was unquestioned, as were their
hartering expeditions to the nearest sea-
port. But Juan and Bal Chico did not
always exchange their nuggets for COM
modities; oftener, with wisdom learn
ed abroad, did they demand coin. Juan
had come home with his old name of
Casma, and Bal Chico had assumed a
new name for his new habitation, and
the singular fact became known at the
town bank that Casma and Chira were
thrifty Indian depositors and checked
against their account. Casma explained
that abroad he had been called Juan
Sanchez and Chira had been known as
Diego BIAS, and that they had made
debts which demanded the checks drawn
upon them by the Mexican bank of La
Hannibal
