weary "oOueh
My wooden head is cracked across,
I've lost my youthful charms;
I've lost, alack, one wooden leg,
And both my wooden arms.
Full many a fight have been in
'Twixt Fred and brother Hugh;
I've been officer and private
Owe been ammunition, too.)
I've been used to poke the fire with;
I've been dipped into the ink;
And I've made perilous journey
Adown the kitchen sink.
I've been drowned, and I've been mar
ried;
I've been buried, and dug up;
I've been worried" round the garden
BY that seven months old pup.
IN short this mortal life is such &,
That, though I'm truly brave,
I long, with all my wooden heart,
For just a quiet grave.-Selected.

In the British Naval and Military
Record it Is stated that 1t is becoming
an interesting problem as to how long
the annual farce Of voting battleships
which can never be laid down is to
continue. Each year the first lord of
the admiralty presents to parliament a
ship building program which he SOL
EMMY treats as though it was likely
to be realized. He estimates the cost
of the operations and the house of
commons votes the money, which will
not in any case be spent in the way
directed. Although money may be
voted for ship building. 1t by no menas
follows that it will be expended on
construction.

James Russell Lowell studied law
and took an office, but never had a
case at court. The Rev. Edward Ever

story of Lowell's first client. The
poet had laid aside his law book for
the nonce and was polishing off a

strange man appeared. with look of
doubt or trouble in his eyes. Low

Erew up a chair opposite, pulled out

ais pencil in soft. inviting, confden-
tial way, began: "Well, sir, am all
ready to take notes of your case.
Please tell me everything, even the
most trivial circumstances" The
stranger stared at him with open
mouth for a minute, then grinned
most amicably. as he answered.: 'I'm

Fight Z gaLnst Plague.

The authorities Of Sydney, New
South Wales, have been conducting o
vigorous fight against the plague with
encouraging results. The starting
point of the disease in Sydney was in
the waterside premises in Darling
Harbor, where nearly all imported
produce is unloaded, and where rats
abound. The government treated
this section of the city, bit by bit
quarantining a certain area, catching
all the rats possible, pulling down pre-,
misses that were absolutely intolerabls
and disinfecting and whitewashins
everywhere.

When preparation has an adver-
tised reputation that is worldwide, it
means that preparation is meritorious.
II you go into store to buy an article
that has achieved universal popularity
like Cascarets Candy Cathartic for ex-
ample, you feel it has the endorsement
OF the world. The judgment OF the
people is infallible because it is i'm
personal. The retailer who wants to
sell you something else" in place OF
the article you ask for, has an ak to
grind. Don't it stand to reason? He's
trying to sell something that is not
what he represents it to be. Why?
Because he expects to derive an ex-
ira profit out of your credulity. Are
you easy? Don't you see through his
little game? The man who will try
and sell you a substitute for CASCAR-
ETS is a fraud. Beware of him! He
is trying to steal the honestly earned
benefits of reputation which another
business man has paid for, and if his
conscience will allow him to go so far,
he will go farther If he cheats his Gus
toner in one way, he will in another
and it Is not safe to do business with
him. Beware of the CASCARET sub

We commend the policy of the republican
party In maintaining the efficiency of the
civil service. The administration has act

service In Cuba, Porto Rico, Hawaii and

should be confined as far as practicable to-
their inhabitants.
