POEMS RECENTLY pENNED.
,rhe Nalentlne nIan.

The man who makes the valentines-the
comic ones, ! mean
Who hits us OFF in reason and in rhyme
Must be very, very merry in the month Of
February.
For he's laughing at the whole world all
the time!
Perhaps he's in building half hundred
stories high,
Where steeple bells monotonously chime;
And he looks down on us mortals as we
crawl beneath the sky.
And he's notwithstanding al us all the
time.
He has left the world forever. with its
wheat and with it's chaff:
And in colors-for penny. or dime
He roasts its fads and follies till he holds
his sides to laugh
In fact, he's laughing at us all the timei
Perhaps he was toiler in the musty. dusty
ways
Where poverty's accounted as crime
And couldn't pay the rent up on the bill
collecting days,
And the world was laughing at him all
the time!
Perhaps he loved-was sighted by Jew
eled maiden fair
Who needed not his passion Gil sublime.
And tossed her curls and told him that she
really didn't care,
And laughed him from her presence all
the time.
And so. in desperation he departed from
To mock the world in reason and in
rhyme;
And he's very mad and merry in the month
of February,
And he's laughing at the whole world all
the time!

EIy%A Many Beautiful Novelties in washC Goods
w Wv for Spring and Summer Wear


There is but little new in the ducks
for skirtings. Practically nothing but
plain goods are shown, as in past sea-
sons. The shades are light blues and
grays principally. The gray blue will
take the place of the military blue so
popular EAST season. About the only
trimming found on these skirts viii be
narrow braid and rows Of stitching.
Percales viii be the popular thing foi
children 5 dresses. These goods MADE
up in miniature Yachting costumes will
be the correct thing throughout the
summer. Nearly all the pereales shown
are in stripes, and when figured at al.
are of the tiniest kind.
Among the ginghams tla; are suit
able for children's wear are the
zephyr and madras cloths. The zephyr
ginghams are seldom found in the
lighter shades, but are seen in dark
blues ard in grays. both in stripes and
plaids.
Organdie- Will not be popular but
those shown are mostly in large figured
patterns, although few are shown IL
both stripes and plaids in the popular
colors.
4 novelty in cotton goods is the plisse
cloth. 1t is much like the old-fashioned
seersucker. but the crinlled effect is
not so pronounced. 1t is shown prin-
cipally in medium floral designs, and
also in dots and stripes of the popular
colors. The black and white combina-
ton is noticeable in this cloth.
Swiss goods will also be popular, and
merchants have prepared for large
sale in this line Inthe plain effects are

Pe-ru-na works tremendously with
nature to eject the tubercles from the
lungs, and works so successfully that
if there is u cure for consumption
Pe-ru-na is the remedy.

daughter, Mrs. l.. Keene. She says:

DEAR SIRs:-"Myd daughter had every
symptom of consumption-sup
of menses, night sweats and great ema-
citation. She was so low that none OF
our neighbors thought she could live.
In May Mr. c. r. Adams, of this place,
who had taken Pe-ru-na, told me if
anything would help her Pe-ru-na
would. l got bottle of it and some
rock candy and began giving it to her.
During the first few days she was SO
weak she could only take "a half tea
spoonful at time, but / gave it to
her as often as she could bear it. In
less than a week She could walk two
hundred yards and back without rest
ing; she kept getting stronger, and in
twelve months she seemed to be as well
as she ever was in her life / feel, and so
does every one that knew about her
sickness, that Pe-ru-na saved her life.
