When the veil from the eye is lifted,
The seer's head is gray;
When the sailor to the shore has

The sirens are far away.
Why must the clearer vision,
The wisdom of Lies late hour
Come. as in Fates derision,
When the hand has lost its power?
Is there a Karen being?
Is there a fairer sphere,

And the harvests are not scar;
Where. ere the seasons dwindle,
They yield their due return;

While the flames of youth still burn

CURED HER LITTLE BOY.

Mrs. Frank p. Smith. living
at 601 Jefferson street, Whining
ton. Del. writes: Il take great
pleasure in writing to you about
what Ripans Tabules did for me.
My little boy. who is 8 years old,
has suffered with stomach trou-
bic since he was 2 years old. He
would take these severe spells
about every three months, with
vomiting and high fever, and
nothing whatever would stay in
his stomach. These spells would
last from 6 to 8 days, then he
would slowly improve. but would
be a very ghost of his former
self. Our family doctor said it
was catarrh of the stomach, and
we had to summon him every
time the boy got a spell Almost
constantly he would have a
gnawing pain in his stomach and
when he would stand on his feet
for a time. even when / would
comb his hair. he would get very
sick and be Obliged to sit down.
He certainly has suffered, but
thanks to Ripans Tabules, they
have helped him. One day
friend came in and / was telling
her about my boy. She praised
Ripans Tabules and advised me
to try them. / bought a bottle
and gave them to him. He took
but three or four doses when l
noticed he did not lie down after
his meals. BY the time he had
taken a large bottle | thought he
was improved enough. so l
stopped giving them to him.
. When he was about to have an
other attack / gave him Tabule
and it prevented him from hav-
ing it and ! then gave him four
large bottles, which entirely
cured him.
There Is scarcely any condition OF
ill-health that IS not benefited by
the occasional use or a. Ri
PANS Tabule, and the price, -
for s cents, does not bar them from
any home or justify anyone In en-
during Ills that are easily cures.

will stampede quickly at the least
suspicion of the approach of the con-

had run a load of coal into house on
Market street was shaking the last Of
the coal out of the shutes when the
house door was opened and a man nail
ed a yellow flag, the sign of smallpox,
to the door frame. The cOlored mans
eyes became enlarged and when he re-
allied what he was up against he
dropped shovel and broom and ran
about half a square He then thought
of his team and shovels, so he went
back Never in his life did he work

would take glance at the flag as if he
feared 1t would jump on him. He

A New Kind Of Trust.

The blacksmiths Of Rockdale
have perfected an organization for
the purpose Of avoiding bad ac-
counts. Each member Of the or
ganization furnishes a list Of bad
accounts and no member credits
any Of the parties on this list until
some satisfactory arrangement is
made concerning the account. This
is a good plan, and 1t would be
we'll if it were followed in every
community, forcing the dead-beat
class TO pay cash, settle their old
accounts or do without. Ofcourse
discretion should be used in max
ing the list, as many deserving
and honest men are sometimes un.
able to settle up, but they can at
least show their willingness to do
so.-Caldwell News. Chronicle.
