A POEM ON MANKIND.

Like what is man, but like a sproutlng
weed.
That grows and ripens but to cast its
seed
Among the thistles and the tares Of life
And then to see II strangled in the
stlfe:
Or like the clouds that wander with the
breeze
And pass unnoticed from a life Of ease? I?
Or like a mushroom, sprung to life,
alas,
To starve or strangle in the tangled
grass?
These are thoughts that are apt to
come to many people at times, espe-
clally when they are sick and have to
pay big prices for medicines. But there
is one drug store in Oregon where you
can save from 10 to 25 per cent on
everything you buy. and that Is ]. A.
Clemenson's Drug Store, at 227 Yam
hill street, Portland. Ore. At that store
you can get Hoods Sarsaparilla AZ 70ci
Mellen's Food, 81 size, soc; Bromo Self
ger, 81 size zoe, and everything else at
the same low rate. You can get red
trading stamps there, and If you need
the Natural Body Brace, you can get 1t
there.
