BUSY ENSLEY

Many New Buildings Going Up in the
Thriving Suburb
Building at Ensley is progressing. The
work going on in this growing suburb is
surprising to one who looks over where,
a short time ago, nothing but a pine forest
could be seen, and now views block after
block of well-constructed buildings. Only
yesterday afternoon fifteen carloads of
lumber were placed on a side track at En-
sley for use in buildings already under con-
structio1. This shipment is only an illus
tration of what is going on out there every
day.

Observed that the top OF his head was

He called the gentleman back and said:
Friend, how long have you been wed?"
Thirty years." with a weary sigh
And then he thoughtfully added,
"Why?"
st. Peter was silent With head bent

He raised bis head and scratched his

Then seeming a different thought to

Slowly, half to himself he spake.

Bob Taylor on the Boy.

The happiest period in life is youth;
and the happiest specimen of youth |
is a big, healthy, awkward, watery-
iointed, rollicking, frolicking boy,
with his heart full of dreams, his
head full of schemes, and his pockets
full of APPLES and other things. He
is the beloved bandit of every moth
er's heart and the delightful outlaw
of every daddy's home.
What cares he for painted walls
and garnished rooms and velvet rugs
and pictured tapestries, and crayons
in frames, and of glittering? What
| cares he for fresco halls, and polish
ed floors and stairways of mahogany?
! What cares he for the chandeliers
that shine, so that he has the liberty
to romp with exuberant joy on the
green carpets Of the meadows and
hills, under heavens flaming chanda-
lier, and place to sleep in the lum-
Der room among the cobwebs and
old dirty trunks where his rest is as
sweet as though he was pillowed on
the couch of a king with silken cur
tains drawn around him? What
cares he for 'consomme' so he has
plenty of soup? What cares he for
'sirloln' 50 he has beef to eat? What
cares he for all the "a las and 'auiU-
sus' of the up-to. date menue. They
are vanity ard vexation of spirit to
him in comparison to good old
fashioned dinner steaming like an
+ engine and tempting his appetitte
with the mingling aromas of boiled
b cabbage and stewed turnips, masheC
potatoes. smoking biscuits, corn dod

ST. PETER AT THE GATE.


With a solemn mien and an air sedate, 7
When up to the top OF the golden stair O..
A man and a woman assembled there u
Applied for admission They came and A
stood
Before ST. Peter, SO great and good,
In hopes the City VI Peace to win
And asked St. Peter to let them in.
The woman was tall, and lank, thin,
With a scraggy beardlet upon her chin. ,
The man was short and thick, and
stout,
His stomach was built so it rounded
out,
His face was pleasant and all the while
He wore kindly and genial smile.
The choirs in the distance the echoes
woke,
And the man kept still while the wo-
man spoke.
30 thou who guarjest the gate, said
she,
I'VE two come hither beseeching thee
To let US enter this heavenly land,
And play our harps with the angel |
band.
Of me st. Peter, there is no doubt
There's nothing in heaven to bar me
out.
I've been to meetings three times a
week
And almost always I'd rise and speak
"rVe told the sinners about the day
When they'd repent of their evil way,
I've told my neigh bors-Ive told them
all
Bout Adam and Eve, and the Primal
Fall;
I've shown them what they'd have to
do
If they'd pass in with the chosen few.
Eve marked my path OF duty clear
Laid out tue plan of their whole career
I've talked and talked to em loud and
long.
For my lungs are good and my voice is
strong;
So good ST. Peter you'll clearly see
The gate OF heaven IS open to me,
But my old man, regret to say
Hasn't walked IN exactly the narrow
way;
He smokes, he swears, and grave faults
he's got
And don't know whether hell pass OF
not.
"He never would pray with an earnest
vim,
Or 20 to revival or join in hymn,
So | had to leave him in sorrow there,
While with the chosen united in pray
er.
lie ate what the pantry CHANGED to at
ford,
While l, in my purity sang to the Lord
And if cucumUers were all be got,
It's a chance if he merited them or not
''But oh, ST. Peter, love him so!
To the pleasure of heaven please lie
him go,
I've done enough saint I've been.
Won't that atone? Can't you let hin
in?
BY my grim gospel know It's so
That the unrepentant m ust fry below.
But isn't there some way you can see
That he may enter who is dear to me.
It's narrow gospel by which pray
But the chosen expect to find SOM
way
OF coaxing, or fooling, or bribiAg you
So that their relations can ambl
through,
And say ST. Peter it seems to me
This gate isn't kept as it ought to be
You ought TO stand by that opening
there
And never sit down in the easy chair
And say, St Peter my sight is dimmed
But ! don't like the way your whisker
are trimmed;
They're cut too wide and outward toss;
They'd look better narrow, cut straigh
across,
Well, we must be going our crowns t
win,
So, open, st. Peter, and Well pass in.
LsE1
ST. Peter sat and stroked his staff,
But, in spite of his Office he had t
laugh,
Then said with fiery CLEAN in his eye
who's tending this gateway you or l?
And then he arose in his stature tall
And pressed button upon the wal
And said to the imp who answered tn
bell,
Escort this lady around to hell"

Twenty-Five Years Constant Use With

The first indication of Group is
hoarseness, and in a child subject to
that disease it may be taken as a
sure sign of the approach of an at

peculiar rough cough. If Chamber

as the child becomes hoarse. or even
after the croupy cough appears, it
will prevent the attack. 1t is used
in many thousands of homes in this
