Poisoning tho System.

1t is through the bowels that the body
is cleansed Of impurities. Constipation
keeps these poisons in the system, caus-
ing headache, dnlness and melancholla
at first, an then unslghtly eruptions and
finally serious illness unless a remedy is
applied. DeWItt's Little Early Risers
prevent this trouble by stimulating the
liver and promote easy, healthy action of
the bowels. These little pills do not act
violently but by Strengthening the
bowels enable them to perform their
own work. Never grippe or distress.-I.

THE GREAT JOKE, DEATH.
Sunny Side of Dying Often Treated
of In Literature.

Death said Il publisher, has been
treated humorcusly in our literature
often. Indeed | am quite sure that a
collection of many thick volumes might
be made under the title Of Deaths
Funny Side Thomas Hood was one
of u best writer's of this sort of
verse. Don't you remember his ballad
on the young sailor who died heart
broken over his girls unfaith? The
last stanza was:
His death, which happened in his berth,
AT forty odd befell;
They went and told the sexton, and
The sexton tolled the bell.
Hood did another ballad on the sub.
ject of a soldier who lost both legs in
battle, who was in consequence Tilted
by his sweetheart and who then hung
himself. Now, that is rather tragic, is
1t not! 1t has a bizarre but none the
less poignant tragic note. Guy de
Maupassant indeed once handled al
most this same situation, but he ham
died 1t from the opposite viewpoint,
and don't you remember how he mar
rated the first, the crucial, meeting Of
the lovers after Ben Battles double
amputation?
But when he called on Nellie Gray
She made him quite a ,scoff,
And when she saw his wooden legs
Began to take them off.
This treatment drove Ben to de-
spair:
so round his melancholy neck
A rope he did entwine
And for the second time in life
Enlisted in the line.
And there he hung till he was lead
AS any nail in town;
For. though despair had cut him up
1t could not cut him down..
"There is a tremendous literature of
humorous epitaphs. There must be, /
fancy, 10000 of these. but two of them

gan (evidently a publishing house of

the dead man name might have been
j. Right, although the charred con-
dition of the letter rendered the name
almost unintelligible,
1t appears that the man was bare
footed. as he vas tracked for some dis
lance across a plowed field in the di.
rection of the burning straw piles
1t is probable that he was wander
ing about in a demented condition
and seeing the light of the burning
straw piles, directed his footsteps to-.
ward them. The supposition is that
in tramping through t%heburnlng ashes
and cinders of the consuming piles
his clothing caught fire and he thus
m%iserably persisted. An effort is be-
ing made to discover the mans iden.
tity and where he belongs.
