TO AUNT sALoNE ON HER ONE HUNDRED
ANN%SasARY OCT. Is, 1900.
One hundred years ago to-day
little girl was born;
She grew as happy, blitbe and gay
As any summers morn.
Time passed and at her mothers knee
She learned to knit and sew;
She studied in the schools the lore
Of ninety years ago.
War came, and In her happy home
She heard the sounds of strife;
But this, too, passed, and peace once more
Settled about ner life.
And as she grew to womanhood,
How well she did her part;
To card and spin, 10 weave, to cook,
Excelling In each art.
A wife and mother she became,
One OF the very best;
Her husband praised her in the gates.
Her children called her biest.
Her hands were always busy kept,
Her voice was ever kind;
The needy never sought in vain
Relief from her to find.
And when intemperanee stalked abroad.
Her voice was for the right,
And with the martha Westinghouse
She worked. the foe to fight,
Years passed. and sorrows hand was laid
ON her devoted head
But she had put her trust In God
And by His hand was led.
And so the years have passed along.
Aud still she's with u= here;
Aud we have gathered here to-day
To greet her hundredth year.
Dear Aunt salomc. rs we come
From near and far away.
We bring you greetings and good will
For your centennial day.
We wish you health and happiness
As long as life shall last,
And abundant entrance into Heaven"
When you deaths gate have passed
We know there waits for you in Heaven
The well done" OF the blest;
Thou good and faithful servant, come,
Enter into thy rest

CHEAPER THAN A FUNERAL.
He Concluded to Pay the Doctor'a
BiII a. an Economical 4
Move.

A well-known North Dakota magistrate
tells the following story, for the truth of
which he vouches: At small town in the
state there were two doctors, one of whom
had great reputation for the cures he eff
ffected, and the other was not believed to be
much good" The favored doctor found his
services in great request, but as payment
was not always forthcoming he made a rule
that certain class of his patients should
pay in advance.
One winters night he was reused by two
farmers from a hamlet ten miles away, the
wife Of one of whom was seriously iii. He
told them to go to the other doctor, but
they. refused, saying they would prefer his
services. VERY. WELL" replied the medco,
in that case my fee is ten dollars, the money
to be paid now"
The men demonstrated, but the doctor was
obdnrate, and shut down his window. He
waited, however, to hear what they would
say. well, what will we do now?" asked
the farmer whose wife was i'll. And the re-
ply that was given must have been as graf
lying as it was amusing to the listening doc
Il think YOU would better give it. The
funeral would cost you more"

WOMEN MUST SLEEP.
Avoid Nervous Prostitution.

II you are dangerously sick what il
the first duty of your physician He
quiets the nervous system, he deadens
the pain, and you sleep well.
Friends ask, "what is the cause Pr
and the answer comes in plying
tones, nervous prostration. It came
upon you SO quietly in the beginning,
that you were not alarmed, and when
sleep deserted you night after night
until your eyes fairly burned in the
darkness, then you tossed in nervous
agony praying for sleep.

You ought to have known that
when you ceased to be regular in your

You ought to know that indigestion,

backache send the nerves wild with
