My dear, who dreams of growing old
When Earth herself Is newS lcold
What thing save death could touch with
The heart that's nearest your
A mans not old who plucks a bloom,
And halts 10 hear song;
Time brings regret, but never gloom,
To him whose love Is strong,
And so, when snowdrops shine. my dear,
And blackbird's bravely sing,
My heart that sighed 10 lose year
Grows glad TO gain Spring

There's lots Of foolish things that make you tired
When you're a boy;
There's heaps Of grouchy men that can't be hired
To like boy;
There's wood to chop at home and coal to bring,
And Here. do this, do that. the other thing y
And, worse than all, there's girls-oh, holy

Are they crime, or are they Just q joke

SCHOOL CLOSED
The Teacher Injured In a Run
away Accident and Reported
z to Have Gone Insane.

In October, 1896, one Monday
morning the Rushford school did not
open and it was reported that the
teacher had gone insane. The physi-
clan in attendance pronounced the
trouble nervous prostration and said
that school work was. mentally and
physically impossible. The teacher,
who is now Mrs. L. A. Gullickson, OF
Rushford, Mimi, in a recent inter
view published in the Star of that
place, gives the true story of the event.
"To begin at the beginning" she
said, when was about seven years
of age sudden fright brought on a
dreadful condition of nervousness.
When, in 1895, i was injured in a
runaway accident, this, combined with
my former trouble, made me SO i'll

II was dizzy and faint with fearful
nausea, which nothing relieved. /
could take no solid food for 10 days,
but lived on milk and lime. water.
When the doctor had treated me for
nearly six weeks without helping me,
Mrs. j. Webster, a nearby friend.

faithfully for not quite three months
and was perfectly cured. Ihave never
