THE BIRTH OF ooz


THE BIRTH OF BOOZE.
Kentucky Legend.
Chief Bour-B Bon, whom the gods
had named to hold
The ruling scepter DER those peo-
pie bold,
The great Kain-Tuck-Ah tribe,
laid down to sleep
Within the shadows of a forest
deep,
But ere the breath of slumber
touched his eyes
A red clad figure of most unearth-
ly guise
Appeared before him, and turned
loose that same
Old smile Lew Morrison has
brought to fame,
And thus he spake:
81 am Satana, he
Whom white-skinned missionaries
sent to free
Your people from the yoke ofbond-
age state
Is ever seeking whom he may Gre
mate
The ruler of the kingdom down
below
Where weather guessers never
mention SLOW.
You've longed for greater power
almost from birth
Now. will | make you think you
own the earth!"
He beckoned. and from out the
forest strobe
A group of devils staggering meath
a load
OF vessels, one of coppered Wormy
build,
And soon n cauldron DER a fire
was filed
With golden maize and writhing
snakes and frogs
And other reptiles caught in forest
boys,
And from the tail of that great
worm there dripped
A golden Nectar; this old Bour-
Bon slipped,
AS great Satana babe, and 500 he
And with a whoop assumed a
scrapping pose
And smote his fists and sware that
he could lick
A million devils, and could do it
quick!
That he was king, and if Satana
thought
For just one feeting second he
was not,
Just peel his buds and get himself
in trim
And Bourbon would wipe up the
earth with him!
Satana smiled and said: "Good-by.
old boy;
| leave you here this wormy fount
of joy
Make known the secret to the
peopled earth,
Fill all this new-found land with
jag wrought mirth
And booty misery, for that, you
know,
Will swell my population down
below!n
The paleface came, and soon the
smoking stills
Cast murky shadows DER Kahn
Tuck-Ah's hills,
ana through the passing years up
to this hour
The wondrous juice retains it's
magic power,
For he who houses it beneath his
girth
Imagines for a time he owns the
earth.

QUESTION ANSWERED.

Yes, August Flower still has the
largest sale Of any medicine in the civ
ilized world. Your mothers and grand
mothers never thought of using any
thing else for Indigestion or Bilious
ness. Doctors were scarce, and they
seldom heard of Appendicitis, Nervous
Prostration or Heart failure, etc. They
used August Flower to clean out the
system and stop fermentation of UNI
digcsted food regulate the action of the
liver. stimulate the nervous and Oragnic
action of the system, and that is all
they took when feeling duh and bad
with headaches and other aches. You
