H WORLD AND I.

Today, beats down the sun AMI warm,
Quick vanishes tn impending storm,
The zephyrs lull, the clouds float Nv,
The world is glad-the world and l,
For me Earth's glories bloom and
blend
The wOrld-it is my friend.
Tomorrow my delights are flown,
And I am plodding on alone,
The shrill winds pierce. the thick
SHOWS fly,
The world is sad-the world and l.,
For me, Earth's pleasures ebb and end,
The world-it was my friend.
All, tickle world! Thou lowest me
Today-1 have no need Of thee,
Tomorrow I am cast alone
TO find thy friendship fled and flown,
And as my fortunes wavering trend
So thou art OF thou vert my friend!

Facts
for


Any article, whatever its merit,
must be made known to the public by
means of advertising. Advertising,
however, though it can do much for q
thing, cannot do everything. 1t may
create a sale for a time, but in order
to insure a lasting demand the thing
advertised must have solid worth.
This is the case with Lydia E. Pink
hams Vegetable Compound. 1t has
solid worth.
Women everywhere have learned
this fact, and the result is that there
is Il lasting and absolutely unequaled
demand for it. 1t has the largest sale
of any remedy for female ills in the
world, and this has been the east for
years.
The reason for this is that Mrs.
Pinlkham claims nothing that she is
not entitled to claim. She can do all
that she says she can do, and her
twenty years of experience make her
advice invaluable. Hercxpcricnce has
been not only long but worldwide,
and she has helped more women back
to health than any one else in the
world. These facts should, and do,
have immense weight with all sensible
women. Remember these are not wild
ema Int solid facts.

~ have taken eight bottles of Lydia
z. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound
with most gratifying results. I had
been married four years and had two
children. I was all run down, had fall
ing of womb with all it's distressing
symptoms. Ihad doctored with a good
physician, but l derived very little good
from his treatment. After taking a
few bottles of your medicine, I was
able to do my work and nurse my
seven-months'-old babe. recommend
your medicine to every wife and
mother. Had I time, I could write
much more in its praise. I bid you
Godspeed in your good work.
Mrs. L. A. MORRIS, Welaka, Putnam
Co., Fla.
"DEAR Mrs. PINKHAM-When I COM
menced the use of your remedies 1 was
very badly off. Every two weeks 1 was
troubled with flowing spells which
made me very weak. l had two of the
best doctors, but they did not seem to
help me. They said my trouble was
caused from weakness and was moth
ing to worry about. Ifelt tired all the
time; had no ambition. Twas growing
worse all the time until I began the
use of Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable
Compound. I am now able to help,

A God-like soul restored again to God.

There is a court where Conscience sits as

Where Justice is the Law; where Hon

Accuses thee and brings thee to the trial;
All its DEGREES unerring; no appeal
Lies to a higher tribunal than this.
A court nc hollow sophistries may sway,
Whose verdict is exact upon the law
And evidence. Now who steps forth
and says
He has not been arraigned before the
bar
OF Conscience, heard his accusation
read,
His guilt pronounced, and knew the YER
dict just?

Come. little girl, sit down by me.
afraid your mamma may not see
Her little girl when she comes by?'
Oh, yes she will! Now! Now! don't cry!
That's right, dear. Wipe away the tears.
How old, little one? Just four years?'
All, yes! Your age is just the same
AS hers was when. And what's your
name?
'Mamie?' Strange! for hat was hers.
Never mind, little one! Something blurs
My eyes now. There! it's brushed away
So this is your very own birthday?
And mammals brought you here to play!
How nice! And four years old today.
"There, there, little one! Don't you fear.
Never mind! It was only a tear
That fell on your dimpled little hand,
Something you couldn't understand.
Just a dream of a curly head
That tossed like yours, and of hair
brown-red,
That fell like yours in tumbled curls,
And / thought l saw two little girls.
And you'll kiss me cause l mustn't cry?
Thank you, dear. And you don't see why
Such a pretty lady cries today
When the birds and flowers should drive
away
The tears?' Of course you don't, my dear
Well! Well! And there's another teal
That fell from my eye on your little face
You'll kiss them all away, and place
Your cheek 'gainst mine? You CAM
see why
Little girls like you should make me cry?
Never mind, dear. You wouldn't know
"'Your mammals coming?' You must 20?
Sure enough! There she is. I know
From the light in her eyes for you
Good bye!
Good bye, now, dear. No, I won't cry

BRINGING OUR HEROES HOME.

~ 1ON11l
TRANSPORTS are arriving at San Fran
cisco with the bodies of soldiers killed in
the Philippines.)
Bringing our soldier home today-bring-
ing our hero home,
There's crepe on the door of the city hall,
and a flag flying from the dome,
Flying half mast, as though, like him, it
had only reached half way
To the heights it might have honored-
cut down in life's heyday.
Mute are the ringing bugles, futters the
mantling shroud,
The eyes of men speak sorrow and the
heads of men are bowed,
Bowed in a silent homage to Greatness,
dumb and dead,
That gave its life to Glory-She gave it
death instead.
A touch of holy quiet the old house
seems to fill,
People come and look at him, lying so
calm and still,
Come and peer and drop a tear-come
and 60 away,
Greeting and saying "Good-bye" to the
boy they've brought us home today.
Lying there with his country's flag drap-
ing him all around,
Lying there asleep, disturbed by no
single noise or sound,
His mother comes and looks at him
looks and kneels and prays,
Prays for strength to bow unto the
Lords mysterious ways.
Bearing away his coffin now, with mar
tial step and tread,
Laying him there in the churchyard, in
the dust with the dumb and dead.
Reading a verse of scripture, breathing
prayer to God,
Cold, SO cold, is the damp and mould of
the earth's uplifted sod.
Going away and leaving him-leaving
him there alone,
Going away and being brave choking
a sob and moan,
All for the love of country, and no man
knows the price
Till he offers up his flesh and blood as
an atrial sacrifice.
Bringing our hero home today, bringing
our hero home,
Crepe on the door of the city hall, and a
flag floating from the dome,
Only one of a thousand, he sleeps, nor
stirs nor cries,
Only one of a thousand for whom a dip
ped flag flies.
Glory is his, he earned it, the glory of
Greatness, dead,
Dead on the field of battle flowers are
strewn and spread,
But the glory of death is hollow-hollow
and cold, and flies
Swift, swift away from the darkened
home, where the torn heart aches and
cries.

How heart is my sad lot!

Not one humerus spot.
"None artery-son why it's so,

I cut so many dead.

''Dear! Dear! Nobody aver nose
Or ears! l eyesolate

What a narrowing fate!
Il pray chance may deliver you
From such ills as I tell,
For I have to cut men in two
And just stomach them we'll.
''My occupations skin to grief
And while it is not neat,
When I cut off a bunch of toes,
1t is at least effete.

And then I saw again,

Some diaphragm the pain.

And do I love you, dear? Of course 1 do,
l live in you, by you, through you, for
you,
For me, thou art the sunlight and the
flowers,
And when thine eyes close, sleeping, are
the hours
Of darkness and the night. When slum-
Der creeps
Over thine eyes, each star in heaven
sleeps
And all delights are dull. Thy smiles
and tears
Are the sunshine and clouds of all nv

And, Oh, Love, did I not eat of your pie
And call it good? What stronger proof

Give of my blind idolatry and true
In you, of you, for you, through you, by

A song is sung for the hero,
A pecan of praise to rise
With shout and cheer; so here's a tear
For the man who does-and dies.
A laurel wreath for the victor,
A Joyous acclaim halls
His listening ear; so here's a tear
For the man who tries-and fails.
Loud to the favored climber
Fame's shrill trumpets call,
So here's a sigh for the men who try,
Who strive to rise-and fall.
