ENRIQUE GUERRA.
AS spring comes on, most women and
many men who have lived dollhouse

No time is so favorable as March and
April for getting strong and well.
A thoroughly well person eats with
relish, sleeps soundly, works with zest,
and without worry from morbid anxiety
as to the outcome of his efforts.
If you feel you are out of health,
strength, and spirits; if you show signs
of nervousness and exhaustion; if you
have that feeling of lassltude that comes
in the spring to those who are out Of
health; if your blood shows the usual
signs of impurity-Paine's celery COM
pound will turn you right-about-face to-
wards health.

He Got the window.

Old "Saw Log" Sam Stevenson Is
said to be the richest man in Michigan.
He was in congress several years, but
was defeated for reelection in 1894. He
lives in the upper peninsula, and is
lumber king. He was probably the most
ignorant man who ever sat in congress.
He knew the value of dollar, however,
and could tell the color Of one as far as
the next man. He could be generous on
occasion. and, on occasion, he could be
lavish.
When forest fires swept over Wiscon-
sin some years ago and wrought such
destruction and occasioned such desti.

When Mckinley was inaugurated, one
of the Vanderbilts was guest of the
Arlington hotel. He sent his secretary
out to secure a window on the avenue
from which to view the parade The
nxn asked $500 for it, and the secretary
told him to hold it until he could con-
suit Mr.. Vanderbilt. Nearly all the
windows had been taken. Along came
"Saw Log" Sam window hunting, and
approached the window seller Wander
bits man had been negotiating with.
After some haggling "Saw Log" bought
the window for $1,000 cash in hand

A Little Punctuation,

People who fail to punctuate their
communications are invited to study
the following line. which is a correct
sentence;
"It was and l said not or.
We got that line one day this week
by wire, where punctuations are al
ways omitted. We nearly wrecked our
mentality trying to clear up the mys-
terry of the single line, when all of a
sudden it occurred to us to lcok up
copy of our letter to the party, when
we discovered that our friend wanted
to infGSm us he did not use the word
"or," but did use "and." To be plain,
the sentence is correct and should have
read, at was and l said-not or. "
Another party who has been studying
Pope wrote us as follows; "My Dear
Mr.. George have been thinking over
the statement you made last week, and
l too believe that that is is that that is
not is not, and l take pleasure in be-
lieving so.
A good way to untangle the above is
to write it as follows: THAT that is
is That that is not, is not B" In other
words, it is play on Pope's whatever
is, is right. People who eschew pune.
tuation should not feel hurt if their
meaning is not always readily grasped

Long before the war General Butler,
who was then struggling young law
yer, lived up in Massachusetts manu-
featuring town. He had displayed abil-
ity at college, but had to wait the usual
number of years for his first case. At
last young girl who had worked in a
cotton mill came to him for redress
against her employers. She had been
discharged without wages, and on re-
quest for three weeks wages was un-
tremendously thrust from the door
The case looked blue, for the firm was
very rich one, but she needed money
badly. She offered Ben one-half to col
lect it.
The next morning, while on her way
to look for employment, she came upon
great gathering at crossing. She
inquired what was the matter and
learned that the factory she had left
had shut down for the first time in 80
years. Wondering what could have
brought about such state, she passed
on and presently met Butler He was
leaning against lamppost whiting
stick.
"'Tsall right, he called, waving his
knife with jaunty air. 'Tsall right
I've got 'eml"
"Got who?' ventured the young
lady.
"Why, those old skins up at the fac
tory. went to 'em right after l saw
you yesterday and demanded the bill.
They told me to hustle. 1 then got out
an attachment on their water wheel
and shut up the shop. You own SIS
worth of the entire machinery. Oh,
they'll settle by noonl" And they did.

THE POETS SONG.
A bird Of richest song few out

A bird Of richest song flew out
And oiped his carol full of cheer,
And loLg he winged his way about,
But few would wait his song to hear.
with sorrow, in his lonely nest,
He hid his sweet song in his breast.
sut some had heard that song of Joy;
II came and soothed the pangs Of pain,
Gave hope where doubt rose to destroy;
Desparing souls tried once again.
H. lifted hearts all tempest tossed
That song, though stilled, was never lost.
A poet, no one knew him then,
Sang out his carol full Of cheer,
OF hope and faith and love for men,
But few would wait his song to hear.
The poet He is dead But yet
The songs he sang no hearts forget.
