NO,
Because that stirs a fellow up
And spoils his temper so!
I'd say, "Play first and study next;
And, do not go to bed
20 matter what o'clock 1t Is
Until your story's read"
1 would not know he'd been kept in
Or ask the reason why.
I'd be quite blind to all such thiEgs,
Or kind of pass them by.
I'd give him pudding, pies and JAM
And marmalade and cake
But would not even mention bread
And all the nuts he'd take.
Oh, were l fellows mother
A certain ones 1 know
Wouldn't he have the slickest time!
You'd better believe it's so!
Buff was that fellows mother
wonder if I would
Do half that fellows mother does
For him? Or be-so good?
1 wonder if I'd mend his clothes
Without a single scowl?
And only say, Gently, dear boy"
At HIS most horrid howl?
1 wonder if when he was sick
I'd be so awful kind?
And never breathe, Il told you SOP
Or, reg, you didn't mind"
But only sit and battle his head
In such a peaceful way,
With something sort of sweet and cool,
For maybe half a day?
Yes-now that I think it over.
It's most lucky go
That I'm not that fellows mother;
For the fellows sake, you know!
Youths Companion.

of the leaves, which leaves no resting

But some II these men here about.
Then that pair O. blue eyes, bright and
winning,
Clear and shining with inocent youth,
Looks p5 1t the mates bushy eyebrows;
An, ssyE he, "Sir, I've told you the

Though every man else did, aboard.
With rough hand by the collar he seized

There! you never see such a sight,

He faltering says, May pray?"

But the salt water springs to my eyes,
lads,
And felt my heart rise in my throat.
The mate kind O. trembled an shivered,
And nodded his head in reply;
And his cheek went all white of a
sudden,
And the hot light was Quenched in
his eye.
Tho he stood like a figure of marble,
With his watch tightly grasped in
his hand,
An the passengers all still around him:
Meier the like was on sea or on land.
An the little chap kneels on the deck
there,
An his hands he clasps over his
breast,
AS he must ha done often at home.

At nighttime, when going to rest.

Low and soft from the dear baby
lip;
But, low as they were, heard like a
trumpet
BY each true man aboard of that
ship.
Ev'ry bit of that prayer, mates, he goes
through,
10, Forever and ever, Amen"
And for all the bright gold of the
Indies,

Deputy Sheriff Carlton informs
us that DR.. Pick of Port Hill has
skipped the country, having victim
lied inmates of the railway hos

facts are as reported, Pick must

inmate of the hospital, who was Is
ing helpless with both legs broken
He secured mis- pay check for $S5 90.
Another was a patient who had
been injured by blast and lost
his sight. He got his check also,
the last cent the man had in the
world. J. J. Mcdonald, a cook,
sent 500 with the doctor" to this
place to be expressed to McDonald's
family, giving him 81 for his troub-
lie and the Doctor appropriated all
to his own use. Among other
victims were: Sam Billings, $62;
Oliver Pratt, 1914; Finrow & Co;
1874; a restaurant man, $34; and
probably others. Pick was the at
tending physician at the hospital.

Beware of Food Samples,

Quite recently in New York two
deaths occurred from poisoning by
the use of powders sent to the
victims by mail. In Leavenwoith,
Kans., the other day nearly every
doctor in town was called to attend
the children who had gathered up,
eaten, and been made i'll by samples
of an article left at houses by
canvassers for advertising purposes.
Alum baking powders have
always been favorite articles for
this sampling business. Yet there
is nothing more liable to lead to
danger than the practice of using
the avrious samples of baking pow
der left at the door. They are pre-
sentad by irresponsible parties, in
appearance are not distinsuishable
from arsenic, and indeed, in Indi-
ana some time since one package
was found, after it had caused the
death of the housewife, to have been
mixed with that poison.
1t is safer to refuse all samples Of
food or medicine offered at the
door. Pure cream of tartar baking
powders sell upon their merits, and
are never peddled or sampled.
