INDIAN CRADLE-SONG.

Swing thee low in thy cradle soft
Deep in the dusky wood;
Swing thee low and swing aloit--
sleep, a. a papoose should;
For safe is your little birchon nest,
Quiet will como and peace and rest,
II the little pdpoose is good.
The coyote howls on the prairie cold,
Aud tho owlct hoorS in tho tree,
And the big moon shines on tn, little child
" il Sunben peacefully.
So swing thee high in my little most,
And swing thee low and take the rest
That the right wind bring, 10 thee
The father lies on the fragrant ground,
Dreaming OF hunt and hghI,
And tho lne'lcdvcs mStlc With mourn'ul SOUND
All through Tho solemn night;
RW tho little papooSc in irs hirchen nest
Is swinging low as he takes his res',

ssCan1of Say Enough. =

The expression, ~ cannot say
enough has fallen from the lips
Of many grateful persons, as it fell
from those Of lady residing in
Sangerville, Me-, in the course Of q
conversation l had with her last
spring.
But l shall never forget how much
significance her manner gave an ex-
preston 90 familiar.
/ She was, indeed, grateful.
1t was interesting to hear her tell
how she had been troubled by per-
sistent foe five long years.
When she told me that there had
been punches on her neck so sore
that she could not bear to have them
touched, however lightly, and that her
throat had also been affected, recog-
nized the persistent foe as an ancient
foe of the race, that sometimes makes
havoc of the whole system, dis6guring
the face, wasting the muscles, corrod-
ing the bones, causing eruptions, in
famed eyelids, sore ears, general de-
bil1ty and consumption, commonly
beginning its attack in punches on the
neck, otherwise known as glandular
tumors q word, that the per-
eistent foe was scrofula.
And it was scrofula, and nothing else.
She tried again and again to rid her.
self of it, and her failure to do SO
troubled her exceedingly, for she had
learned that the disease is progressive
1T always grows worse and she
feared a surgical operation might be
necessary for the removal Of the
punches.
And it might have been submitted
to had not Hoods Sarsaparilla been
recommended to her.
She wisely concluded to see if there
was any virtue in this medicine, if it
would cure her.
The first bottle" she said to me,
relieved all the soreness of the
punches on my neck, and the second
entirely removed the punches them
selves. Hoods Sarsaparilla radically
and permanently cured me, and when
l praise it, as 1 do gratefully for my
release for such l regard til can
not say enough"
Her name is Mrs. Manley I. Davis,
and she is still residing at Sangerville.
Many medicines are said to eradi-
cate scrofula, but Hoods Sarsaparilla
DOES eradicate it, positively and abso-
lutely. This statement is based on the
thousands of permanent cures this
medicine has wrought. 1t cleanses the
blood of all impurities, inherited or
acquired; cures all cutaneous erup-
tons, catarrh, rheumatism, kidney
complaint, and all low or rundown
conditions of the system.
Do not fail to take Hoods Sarsapa-
rilla, for it cannot fail to do you good.

increased degree for its enforcement,
In ordinary times a city official does
not recline on bed of roses. If he
has a business of his own he must neg
lect it to greater or less extent for
the city business. Whatever he does
he is sure to encounter hostile criticism,
and may esteem himself fortunate if
when he goes out of Office he has not
more enemies than friends. Almost
everywhere you will find sentiment
that we should select our best men for
the city offices, irrespective of politics;
that they should be men of ability,
enterprise and public spirit. OF course
such men are to be found in every CON-
munity, but they are not to be had for
the asking, and if elected without, their
consent decline to serve. What can we
do about it? This condition is as much
deplored by the political managers, or
''rings," as it is by the reform element,
who are very anxious for better things,
but who rarely even attend caucus to
aid in bringing about their ideals.
The popular works of fiction to-day
are based on the lines of ''To, Have and
to Hold" or David Harum;" but the
successors to these popular novels, as
might be expected, fall below their
literary standard and in some instances
are inferior to the now despised dime
novels. The fact is that the original
dime novels were. many of them at
least, the work of men of undoubted
literary ability, and they would COM
pare favorably with the majority Of
the works of fiction issued to-day. Our
dime novel is now an attractively bound
book of several hundred pages, printed
from bold type on fine paper, with most
liberal margins, and costs from S125 to
S1.5O. TO write asDavid Harum book
it is only necessary to have a character

sion of blood-curdling scenes and incl
dents, with the occasional appearance
of Paul Jones, Benedict Arnold, George
Washington, or other celebrities. Even
our much admired Sarah Orne Jewett,
the gentle chronicler of New England
life, whose pastoral and sea coast
scenes are depicted so faithfully
and so charmingly, at the behest of
her publishers has been led into stormy
seas and wilder scenes. Miss Jewett's
story is yet young, and much may be
expected of it; but the general mass of
current fiction must speedily gravitate
to the secondhand bookstore, and
oblivion.

1t Is evident that the Prohibitionists
are in favor of free rum under pro-
hibitory law They have to admit that
the law is failure, and that there is no
prospect that there will be any improve
ment in the way of enforcement. The
committee will vote by large majority
against resubmission, but minority re-
port will be made and be taken to the
floor of the House. 1t is safe to say
that resubmission will not be carried
through this Legislature Augusta

While issue may be taken as to the
position assigned the Prohibitionists,
the statement as to the fate of the re-

correct. 1t was doomed to defeat from
