THE TRAVELLERS.

Said Polly and Molly and Bobby and John,
We will go to Europe and back again.
We're 'fraid will drown If We go In the boats
So we'll go instead in railroad train
1t made of the bed feather easy chair,
1t held them all with bit of squeeze,
With Bobby and John astride Of its back,
While Polly and Molly recline at their ease.
Europe Is nice they tell when
The bell for luncheon calls them home.
We climbed all over the mountain peaks.
And swan the Tiber in ancient Rome
They go to the Klondyke when luncheon is through
Their gold. they tell us would fill
They climb by Jacobs lad Ter at last,
To make call on the man in the moon.
No wonder it is, vixen bed time comes,
They yawn and nod their Travelled heads,
But they start at once for the land of dreams,
As soon as they're tucked in their tiny beds.

HOBSON'S CHOICE.

The expression, "Hobsons choice" used
when a man must take things as they
come, is taken from the following:
Hobson. a livery stable keeper in Cam
bridge. England, kept a stall of forty good
cattle always ready and fit for travelling
but when a man came for a horse he was
led into the stable. where there was great
choice, but he was obliged to take the horse
which stood nearest to the stable door, so
that every customer was alike well served
according to his chance and every horse
ridden with the same Justice.

| Will. Cure You of Rheumatism
Else No Money IS Wanted.

After 20OO experiments, I have learned how to cure rheumatism. Not to turn bony joints into flesh again; that is im- possible But I can cure the disease al- ways at any stage, and forever. I ask for no money. Simply write me q nostal and I will send you ah order on your nearest druggist for six bottles Dr. Shoop's Rheumatic Cure, for every druggist keeps It. Use it for month and. if it succeeds. the cost is only s550. If it fails. II will pay your druggist my self.
 I have no samples, because any medi- cine that can affect rheumatism quickly must be drugged to the verge of danger. I use no such drugs, and it is folly to take them. You, must get the disease out of the blood.
 My remedy does that even in the most difficult, obstinate cases, No matter how impossible this seems to you, I know if and I take the risk.
 have cured tens of thousands of cases in this way, and my records show that 39 out of 40 who get those six bottles pav gladly.
 have learned that people in general are honest with physician who cures them. That Is all I ask. If I fail I don't expect penny from you.
 simply write me postal card or letter. will send you my book about rhet,ma tism, and an order for the medicine. Take it for month. as 1t won't harm you anyway.
 If it fails, 1t is free, and I leave the decision with you. Address sDr. Shoop. Box 6So. Racine, Wis.
 Mild cases, not chronic, are often cured by one CT two bottles. At all druggists.
