THE NoeLEsr FRIEND OF ALL

I have a friend, devoted, earnest, true,
One whom my soul for long years never
knew.
Though oft his voice fell on my careless
ear
In accents dreaded then. but now most
dear.
little dreamed that all my needless fears
Would change todeepest love with passing
Oft then closely scanned his earnest face.
Ye; failed to recognize Its nameless grace.
Nor family understood the nameless charm
Beneath grave looks fancied boded harm; !;
Charged with high duties for his Lord. the
King,
How could his words with lightsome laugh
ter ring?
But on his brow serene could rest no guile.
And there was wondrous magic In the
smile
With which sometises his somber features
cleaned,
So gently solemn, yet so sweet It seemed;
Some thought he knew not pity. grief nor
ruth.
Yet all his acts were kind and trimmed
with truth.
Later, found that he struck of the chains
or slaves bound down meath penalties and
pains,
Set captives free. million wrongs re-
dressed.
Brought hope and happiness to the op-
pressed.
Lightened harsh cares, bade wearing sor-
rows cease,
Subdued all strife and substituted peace.
And when / learned to know-the veil un-
rolled
From all his greatness vast and mighty
souled.
And saw that for such sorrow Is he made
His heart was saddered though his hand
obeyed.
| learned to love him, saw behind his mask.
And marveled at the greatness of his task.
So now, with soul serene and bated breath,
| reverence the friend whose name Is
Death.

WOMAN S
MISTAKE

It is well-known fact that Lydia
q. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound
has cured more women than any other
remedy. 1t therefore must be the
best possible medicine for female ills.
But some women make the mistake
of thinking that they will try some
thing else, simply because it is new.
That mistake is often fatal one
fatal to the health and happiness Of
the experimenter.
Is it not foolish to risk the possible
results of such experiments? Is it not
better to depend upon a medicine
which has been tried successfully for
thirty years, and which has never
been found wanting? Do not therefore
let any one persuade you to try some
thing which they say is just as good.
1t cannot be just as good. Mrs. Pink
hams Compound is the best, and there
can be only one best. This is not a
mere assertion. but is positive fact,
admitted by hundreds of regular
physicians.
Rely on your own common sense,
and Mrs. Pinkham's lifelong expert
ence, and you will make no mistake.
Don't experiment with your health,
but take a medicine that you knoaO is
good, and is backed by such letters as
these to Mrs. Pinkham:

Tha origin of the word Canada is curious enough. The Spaniards visited
 that country previous to CANADA" the French, and made
 particular search for gold and silver, and finding none. they often said among themselves, "Aca Nada" (there is nothing here. ) The h. dians who watched closely-!earned this sentence and its meaning. The French arrived, and the Indians who wanted none of their compay. and sup posed they also were Spaniards come on the same errand, were anxious to inform them in the Spanish sentence: "Aca Nada." The French, who knew as li;tle of Spanish as the Indians, sup posed this necessarily recurring sound was the name of the country, and gave it the name Canada, which it has borne ever since.

 Two little heads on a pillow lay. One was black and the other brown; And the grave nun, Silence, passed that
 way,
 And wrapped them tenderly around. Both little faces were grave and sad And tears were there where smiles
 had played For a myth that had made them glad Had that horrible day been slayed. Two little tots-a girl and a boy. Had started to school that day. Two little hearts were bounding with
 joy
 For Santa was well on his way. They had written a letter to him Twas surely sight to see Asking for fifty big gifts for Jim, For Bessie just fifty-three. The teacher "a. cross and sour old maid, Disappointed no doubt in love. With face as hong and thin as a spade, And hopes centered far up above Had told them a tale that froze them
 cold,
 And just about killed them, I guess, For Jim, the,. reckless and brave and
 bold,
 Had cried on the shoulder of Bess. She wanted to tell, she said, because It wasn't quite right to deceive. There never had been a Santa Claus, No matter what they might believe. A silence. so deep and so profound Came down like a nightfall of gloom. And a horrible, ghastly wound Cut deep every child in the room. Two little heads on a pillow white, Two dear itt!e souls in distress. For a. pretty fancy had that night Refused to respond to care1s. And tears oozed out between eyeids

these 100000 acres of land should be of fered for sale at $15 or even $2O per acre, every acre could be sold within ten months to settlers Tn tracts of not over forty acres each. It is a safe pre- diction that within two years after the completion of such dam every acre in the system would be under cultiva- tiOn and that a community of ten thousand people at least, besides the Indians, would be located upon these lands.

When a railroad was talked of for Prescott there were people who laughed
 the idea to scorn and
 RIGHT said that about three
 YOU trains a month would
 ARE do the business. The
 railroad was built and proved to be the best paying piece or railroad in the United States. When the great Walnut Grove dam was talked of, the same people looked wise and said there would never be water to fill it. But it did fill and so much water came down that it was washed away. Now, We hear that Prescott is being overbuilt that there will be too many rooms of all sorts. The Cour- fer believes that the demand will eX- ceed the supply. Prescott is here to stay, it is here to grow and to keep on growing. Now is the time to buy lots, while they are within your reach. for after that water system is completed the town will double up in size so fast that your head will swim, hut you will not be in the swim unless you invest now, for as the town doubles, so will the prices of desirable ground.-Pres- colt Courier.
