Hear you the far-oir rumble, ye voter
meek and humble II your ear is keen
OF the hgmming and the drumming of the
coming Wild campaign-
For the candidate Is spending, all the
county fairs attending, the glad hand
free extending,
And he worries IN his Aurries II the crops
were hurt by rain?
| He's swimming down the valleys. inviting
party rallies, with many pleasant sal
and he ladies to the cradles, candy from

totendeT daisies that CLINT the autumn
oh. the glory and the story as he rides
the county Ger,
Hot the harvest sunshIne's boiling, hard
tho labor aud the tolllng, sad the cares
about you eolling;
OF the temporary heaven, in bllssful sec
tlOn seven, the taffy and the leaven,
The pleasure and the treasure OF the cam

There is a mint Of money awaiting
the inventor OF an immensely popular
soft" drink. Thousands Of temper
ance throats viii chant his name in fer
vent and undying praises. So let the
popular temperance drink take the
stage. There's millions in 1t for him
and more glory than ever handed out
to Newton or Edison. He will fill a
long felt want in this section of the
land. where the cool and foamlng beer
seems to be pretty near the whole thing
in three straight heats.
The string Of lemonade booths at the
suite ialr, extending from the grand
stand to the quarter stretch and doubly
and trebly flanked at that, proved the
charm exercised by this delicious and
healthful summer drink. Lemonade is
the premier liquid refreshment, served
in natural or carmine tints, as the Gus
toner may desire. the carmine ruling
when circus is on deck. Ginger ale
and pop and cream soda form the field
against lemonade. In the summer
months buttermilk is an easy winner
in saloons.
But when the summer months, and
the plcnlcs and the clrcuses and the
fairs are over, what must the prohibI-
ZIONIST imblbe when convIvlallty is
congenlal to a coterle of friends? Soda
water, ginger ale and other drinks of
that llk are fat and tasteless in win
Ter. Water is a necessity and not a
luxury. Tea and coffee are for sewing
circles. What can the poor man do7
1t is then his palate signs for moist
ener which shall charm and cheer.
Alas, his wants are virtually scOrned
that baser appetites may be adminis-
tered to.
Up in Canadian town few years
ago an enthusiastic phIlanthropIst was
sure he had struck it. With winter
green and other spices he prepared n
drink that would Ill the long felt want.
He invested his spare coin in the nee
essary material, and soon had thou
sands OF bottles, labelled: "WInterine;
the great temperance drink" Enter
prising statesmen flooded the stores with
1t. Temperance orators gave 1t their
endorsement. But "winterine" was a
failure. It lacked decided, peculiar
speil-blndIng taste. and was not much
Improvement over ginger tea. nor
would create the desire to "hIt the bot
Tie again" which condition should have
prevailed for It's permanent success
Besides, minus alcohol, 1t couldn't rest
ON a store shelf for q month and pre-
serve It's strength. becoming as weak as
root beer exposed five minutes to the
air.
So "wintertne's" life was brief and
costly. The storekeepers who bought
1t cursed the inventor, and losing his
all in the experiment the disappointed
man took to strong drink, and bab-
bIed Of "WInterine" in his drunken
stupors. But there still remains the
undeveloped area, and rich indeed will
be the man who will invent a magnetic
temperance decoctlon.
