In Loving Remembr rance.

In MEMORY OF MY DEAR GRANDPA.
Dear Grandpa, miss you wherever go.
For Oh, l always did love you so!
Because to me you were always so kind,
Such d kind friend as you seldom 1 find.
But now you have left me sorrowing here
Still hope to again meet my Grandpa dear
In a world where sorrow never can come,
Where we will be with Jesus ever at home.
Then Oh, how happy will we be then!
Never have to part with each other again,
Therell be nothing there but peace, joy
and love
In that beautiful home of our Father
above. IDA PATTY.

Elopen1ent.

The elopement Of an elderly
widowor with a 16 year old girl TO
Winchester gave food for gossip.
The runaways were Abner Lloyd
and Miss Annie Hummer, both of
Gaylord, near Winchester. Mr..
Lloyd has eight children, several
of whom are older than his bride.
They drove to Winchester Thurs
day, but were unable to get a
license there. They then took
the night train for Hagerstown
and were married Friday. The
brides father, Alexander Hum
mer, farmer, heard Of the elope-
ment, and started in pursuit. He
went the wrong way, and got as
far as Shenandoah Junction, when
ne realized he was too late. Re
turning home, he encountered the
newly married pair ON the same
train, and a stormy scene ensued.
He was finally pacified, and the
girl bride is minding her hus-
band S eight children.

A Cute Doctor.

The latest alleged fraud being
investigated by the post Office
authorities at Washington is the
case of a doctor who advertises to
cure deafness, without fail, for
$3.50. 1t is alleged that TO those
who contribute the $3.50, 1000
pills were sent by the doctor with
the injunction that one must be
taken each day. Thus six years
would be required for the "cure. "
The doctor adds that if epatient
misses one day the charm would
be broken, and to insure a cure
would be necessary, to start all
over again. The department is
in a quandary, as it has no
record of any having taken the
pills for six consecutive years,
and therefore cannot say posi-
lively that a cure would not result
under such circumstances.

Once in awhile one sees in some
New England village people who
have scarcely set foot outside the
narrow limits of their own township
in the course Of their lives. These
people, even in their most wide
awake and vigorous years, have Il
way of measuring the outside world
by their own simple standards which
is quite refreshing.
"What should you do if you had
money, William ?" inquired one of
the group gathered around the big
fireplace in the little inn or tavern
at Hilltown OF the tavern keeper,
who was counted man of wide ex-
perience and wisdom by his friends.
"The first thing | should do" said
William judicially, sis what | would
advise any one to do - fix up my
home a bit, make a few improve
ments in the old place, and then,"
impressiycly-"then | should tray
el.
eyes," he added, with an air as
of one already started on bis jour
neyings, 81 should certainly travel.
l should go to Keene, which, as
some Of you know, is upward Of 80
miles from herew
Here a silence, born of the mere
suggestion Of such mighty under
taking, fell on the group around the
fire.-EXchange.

Life is What We Make it.

"Our lives are what we make Of
them ourselves, writes Edward
Box, in the April Ladies' Home
Journal eff we are weak and

we make our lives artificial we
make them profitless and unhap-

inan atmosphere surcharged with
artifciality. That is impossible.
No hope is defeated unless we de-
feat that hope ourselves. No life
is thwarted unless we thwart its
highest fultillment and develop
ment by our own actions. 1t is
with us, and with us only, wheth-
er we allow the swift current of
prevailing customs to make our
lives complex. They do, unques-
tiouably, and they are dwarfng
the inner lives of thousands of
women, and killing thousands of
others. But it is cowardly and
unjust to lay the blame and the
responsibility upon those Gus
toms. 1t is optional with us to
accept or reject them. There are
certain social laws which seem to
make these customs right, but
every phase of a higher law, the
Divine law, proves them wrong.
There must be certain laws and
customs for the protection of the
social body. These are likewise
for our own individual protection
and are right, and ordinary com
mon sense teaches US that these

HOW TO READ THE TONGUE.

The perfectly healthy tongue is
clean, moist, lies loosely in the
mouth, is round at the edge and has
no prominent papillae. The tongue
may be furred from local causes or
from sympathy with the stomach,
intestines or liver. The dry tongue
occurs most frequently in fever and
indicates nervous prostration or
depression. A white tongue is dag
nostic simply of the feverish condi-
ton, with perhaps sour stomach.
When it is moist and yellowish
brown, it shows disordered diges-
ton. Dry and brown indicate ii low
state of the system, possibly ty-
phoid. When the tongue is dry and
red and smooth, look out for in
fammation, gastric or intestinal.
When the papillae on the end Of
the tongue are raised and very red,
we call it a strawberry tongue, and
that means scarlet fever Sharp
pointed red tongue will hint Of
brain irritation or Inflammation,
and a yellow coating indicates liver
arrangement. When so much can
be gained from an examination Of
the tongue, how important it is that
the youngest child should be taught
to put it out so that it can be visible
to the uttermost point in the
throatl

the vaccine points looked surprised.
The mother, who was supervising
the proceeding, seemed even more
astonished
"You mean your left arm, Clara"
she asserted.
"No, | don't; | mean my right

''But it will annoy you so much
less on your left arm" insisted the
mother.
The girl blushed, but shook her
head.
''You don't understand" she
said.
"a confess ! DON'T" admitted the
mother.

AN ISLAND THAT CHANGES COLOR.

Think of an island that changes
color every day-an island that vi
brates between bilious yellow and
an apoplectic purple! Yet such an
island exists in the gulf of Mexico
a days sail from New Orleans; only
a small island, with the greater por-
tion of it broad, low beach, which
for long time was quite mysteri-
Gus in its complexion.
But the mystery has been solved,
and, like all mysteries after careful
investigation, it turns out to be IA
simple, easily understood phenome-
non. That the beach of this island
should show the usual neutral sand
color was to be expected, but why,
after the tide had receded from it,
it should begin to grow purple at
its upper edge and continue to
change to that color until the APP
pearance of sand was entirely gone
was the mystery, particularly to
those who did not go near enough
to see what made the change. 1t is
all Oh account Of millions of purple
snails which crawl down the beach
in the wake of the ebbing tide and
again retreat as it begins to rise.
Now this changeable bit of earth is
known as Snail island.

ovnRroP YOUR BUSINESS.

A European traveller tells of the
following epitaph which he read on
a tombstone in England: ''IIere lies
-; he was born a man, but died
a grocer" The man had disappear
ed in his calling. We often find that
a mans vocation has swallowed
him; that it has completely over
whelmed him; that there is nothing
left of him for any purpose outside
his occupation.
1t is a contemplate estimate of
a vocation TO regard it as the means
of getting a living. The man who is
not greater than his calling, who
does not overtop his vocation, so
that it runs over on all sides, is not
successful. A man should be greater
than the books he writes, greater
than any speech he makes, than any
house he builds or any sermon he
breaches. Success.
