greed; every lust of flesh, bat
the lust of gain; every sin that

I'd rather be Il witch's Cat-or
even a politiCian-and howl in
sympathy with my tribe; I'd
rather be Il tramp and divide
my handOut with some more

those beside whose boarded

A BACHELORS REFLECTIONS.

A BACHELORS REFLECTIONS.
In love there is one who gives
and one who receives; neither
does both.
Either love wants to love or
to be loved, and whichever it
wants it gets the other or moth
ing.
An unselhsh man never can
be loved by women, but he can
make himself mighty useful to
them
Optimism seeks JOY for itself
and never finds it; pessimism
finds JOY for itself in seeking
sorrows for others.
The only time Il woman will
forgive you for not liking her
new hat is when you say it is
not pretty enough for her.
A bride can't understand how
man can love her unless he
whispers it in her ear every
time somebody isn't listening.
That woman's mission on
earth is to talk is proved by
the fact that she can do it just
as fast when she has u mouth
ful Of pins.
After Il man has been disa.
grceablc to Il woman he wants
to make it up to her. After a
woman has Eecn disagreeable

WHY WERE NAPOLEON AND KING

Napoleon had nerves of steel at Aus

King Richard suffered the agonies of
insomnia the night before he met Rich
mond on the fatal field of Bosworth.
I'll health, low vitality, nervous and
physical exhaustion are always the
cause of lack of success in whatever
you undertake. Weak nerves, low
vitality, female complaints, insomnia
and dependency prevent women
from attaining their object in life, in
work or society, or fulfilling their
duties as wife, mother and home
maker. Nervous debility, shattered
nerves and physical exhaustion from
over work, indiscretions and excuses
stand as stumbling block in the path
of success for men. Absolutely the
only hope of attaining success in life
lies in getting back your health and you
can do SO if you adopt the right means.
You have perhaps tried to get we'll
not used the right means. You have
taken drugs and poisons which have
done you no good. Why do you not
use the wonderfully curative harmless
vegetable me dicine of DR.. Greene "a

erer of that grand restorative known
and used all over the world, DIR.
Greene's Nervura blood and nerve
remedy? This is but one of the many
marvellous cures for different COM
plants and conditions of disease which
DIR. Greene has discovered and the
fact that he is regular physician,
skilled and experienced specialist sin

nervous, chronic and lingering COM
plants enables him to perfectly un-

advice are given to all, free of charge.
You are welcome to call, or if not
convenient, write him fully and freely
about your case and in perfect con-
fidence. 1t costs you nothing to con-
suit him and find out all about your
complaint, and we assure you that
you will be cured if you will adopt
this treatment by harmless vegetable
medicines.

TWO WAY OF LOOKING AT II.

INGERsoLL's EULoGY.-'T sent you
some of the most wonderful whiskey
that ever drove the skeleton from the
feast or painted landscape in the
brain of man. It is the mingled souls
of wheat and corn. In it you will fnd
the sunshine and shadow that chased
each other over billowy fields, the
breath of June, the carol of the lark,
the dew of the night, the wealth of
summer and autumn's rich content,
all golden with imprisoned light.
Drink it and you will hear the voice
of men and maidens singing the Har-
vest Home,' mingled with the laugh
ter of children. Drink it and you will
feel within your blood the starred
dawns, the dreamy, tawny dusks Of
perfect days. For forty years this
liquid JOY has been within slaves of
oak, longing to touch the lips of man."
DIR. BUCKEYES REPLY.-'I send
you some of the most wonderful whis-
key that ever brought a skeleton into
the closet, or painted scenes of lust
and bloodshed in the brain Of man.
1t is the ghost Of wheat and corn,
crazed by the loss of their bodies. In
it you find transient sunshine chased
by shadow as cold as arctic mid
night in which the breath of June
grows icy and the carol of the lark
gives place to the foreboding cry of
the raven. Drink it, and you shall
have woe sorrow babbling,' and
wounds without cause your eyes
shall behold strange women and
your heart shall utter perverse
things Drink it deep, and you shall
hear the voice of demons shrieking,
women wailing, and worse than Or
phaned children mourning the loss of
father who yet lives. Drink it deep
and long, and serpents will hiss in
your ears, coil themselves about your
neck, and seize you with their fangs;
for sat last it biteth like serpent and
stingeth like an adder For forty
years this liquid death has been with
in slaves of oak, harmless there as
purest water. I send it to you that
you may put an enemy in your mouth
to steal away your brains And yet
I call myself your friend"
