THE DAYS OF MY CHILDHOOD
With Variations.
BY J n. EIJJNGTON.

BY ]. r. ELLINGTON.
No longer we cherish the scenes of our
childhood,
For Science and Progress have asserted
their sway,
And have taught US to shun the deep,
tangled wildwood.
Where the mosquito huns his funereaI
lay:
And the wide-spreading pond that we
once held so. dear: ~
They say that in it's waters the tyaller
chills"@ dwell;
That there's tuberculosis in the dairy
house near.
And microbes in the bucket that hung
in the WELL ~
The old messy bucket, the worm eaten
bucket, rS
The germ breeding bucket that hung
in the well.
Once gladly from it's green, messy rim
did We drink.
Feeling that twas almost the elixir of
life.
Till science and the microscope made us
to shrink
From the deadly baeilh with which in
was rife:
And now far away from that old hahita-
tion,
What a sigh OF relief from our bosoms
doth swell,
10 think We've escaped from Dads poor
old plantation.
And the dangers OF the bucket that
hung in thesweH.
The old messy bucket, the worm -eaten
bucket,
The germ breeding bucket, that hung
in the we'll.

AWFUL ULCERS
Facial Sores and BlOtcheS
a Sign of Blood Disease.
Such Tro BILE $
Cured by Vino!.

The face that is blotched or covered
with unsightly pimples is not only .
source of modification and annoyance
but is dangerous.
Where such condition exists there
must be something radically wrong.
When such eruptions become worse
and give place to ulcers the danger is, of
course, enhanced. Ulcers frequently form
first on any of the great vital organs, es-
pecially the stomach.
Won't you, if you suffer from any such
blood impurities give us the opportunity
of telling you how you can get rid of such
ills safely and quickly. Our Vinol will
help you.
This, we firmly believe, and the
reason for our belief is that we have
learned that Vinol in it's mission of
rebuilding the body and creating strength
does as much in the way of purifying the
blood as it does in creating new, healthy
flesh tissue. In making the body strong
and healthy it invigorateS everyone of the
great vital organs and enables them to
properly perform their work.
Impurities of the blood are thus more
quickly displaced by new health ele-
mentS that are taken by the stomach
from the food which by means of Vinol
is fully assimilated.
~ wish to say few words in praise Of
Vinol. For, over year / was severely
troubled with liberated stomach which
caused me much pain; for three months
could not eat any solid food. became
weak, tired and all run down and lost
much flesh. Hearing of the great merit
Of Vinol, bought bottle, and after
giving it q good trial, feel better in
every way, and must give all the praise
to .Vinol" MARY E. BRYANT, Il Prescott
Street, Mansfield, Ohio.
Remember our faith I'm VinoI Is 50
strong that we sell It on q guarantee
and will gladly refund to anyone the
cOst OF the remedy who IL not Satis-
fled with the results obtained by It's
use. |.

RUNNING FAST TRAINS
Engineer Who Runs a Flyer Gives His
 Version of How It Feels.

MT Nagle, an engineer on one of the big roads, was asked if there was any certain trick in the running of fast trains, and replied:
 "There is no difference in the run ming of the fast train and the slow one. There is one thing that man should remember, though, and that is not to get nervous, no matter what turns up before him. The engineers who run the flyers must also be men of quick decision, because little wa, Vering on their part might cause a tad wreck. If it is the engineers opinion that the train should be stopped, he should do so at once, but if he thinks he can get through, then all right throw her open and go through, but don't hesitate. The success in running fast trains lies in one fact of Keeping your mind on what you are doing and not getting excited when something turns up unexpectedly before you. An engineer must always be on his guard for going over the ground at 6U or 70 miles an hour he must act quickly when the time comes, as there is no chance to consider what is best to do.
 The engine 1 run makes from ten to twelve miles faster time than is or dlnarlly run. To be able to do this I have got to know every foot of the road. For in knowing the track I can tell just where the long stretches of level road are before I get to them, and in this way can calculate just Where l can make up any little Lllne that l might have lost at the begin- hing of the trip. h some places in making run I will go away ahead of my schedule, but what I have gained here l will lose on some other part of the road that is not so good.
 Tn making fast runs it is in stons and slow downs where an engine loses time. You take. for instance a train that has been brought to a dead standstfll; it will require as higb as ten minutes before it can be got well under way again, and when you ara going at sixty miles an hour that counts great deal.
 It seems singular, but to q nArson who is associated with engines all tha tune they almost seem alive. Tbis IS on account of the sensitive machinp- cry about them. You can't any mora say what kind of time an engine is going to make when you start out with II than you can tell how a race horse IS gong to run. Some days when vo,1 take tne machine out it will worry aiong, ana you can't get it to running right during the whole trip. and then at other times it will start off perfect- Y smooth and you will have no trouble whatever. The weather has much to do with the way an engine works When the atmosphere is damp and cold and the oil is thick, the machin- cry works much harder than in dry warm weather, when the oil remains Ihin. Then there is the difference in coal. some engines will burn one kind better than another. And the way the wind blows also has much to do with Journal. VIZ

The Hartford Post editor is having a whole lot of imaginary fun in dissect- ing the book written by the Hon Mel bert 5. Cary He attacks right and left and in the center, and then he comes back with line formation which falls in it's tracks when the book is reached. And the real funny part of it comes just here.

France follow her with the same sort of a tariff. and yet in each instance the higher the tariff the lower the wages. American wages do not grow out of the tariff; they come from the natural su- periority of American workmen. Pres ident Roosevelt recognized that fact and admitted it in his message to con- gress. The Deliver phrase will not be- guile many voters to stand by a tariff that robs them every time they go to market.

The republican party, always re- sourceful, always choosing expediency above principle, taking new tack on a proposition as readily as it held it's old one, is up to it's old tricks again. This time it is on the tariff question. Who has not heard the republican bat tie cry, Protect our infant industries P Who has not heard the republican spellbinders in dozen campaigns pro- nounce their benedictions upon protec. tion, saying. that it would build up our infant Industries, and always declaring 1t was for those infant industries? But q change has come over them now
 They know that our industries have long passed the infant period. and they realize that no amount of heroics about infant industries will longer serve to pull the wool over the eyes of the people on that proposition. Hence they have changed front. They have told the infant industry plea to % away back and sit down within tha pale of inocuous desuetude. and in it's stead they have invented a new plea for protection. Senator Deliver of Iowa, tarln ridden Iowa, has the honor of having trotted it forward. It is this: We must have protection be- cause the difference in the wage scale demands 1t 7 That is a beautiful and
 finely spun little reason. yet In actual practice it won't go. Russia has a high protective tarifr and yet she pays the lowest wages of any country in Eu- rope. Austria and Germany and

HOMES FOR NEW FORKS WAITS.

 The little New York waifs who are sent out west by the Children's Aid so- ciety of New York usually fall into good hands and have comfortable homes and schooling assured them. Recently all agent of the association returned from central Nebraska, where he placed sixteen children in farm and village homes. He reports that the uncommon prosperity which is promised that section of the country this year had it's effect in making the farmers even more willing than usual to add to the members of their fami- lies, but the society has never had any real difficulty in finding good homes for it's juvenile charges. Some fifty applications were made to him sor the children. Farmers drive wenty and thirty miles to inspect the little strangers, and very often they come without the slightest intention of adopting any of them. Their wives especially are opposed to the idea of taking city child Here is a typi- cal case: T wouldn't have a New York boy around my house for farm,' declared one woman She conceived a fancy for a curly-haired little German, and asked permission to take him home to dinner.
 Certainly" said the agent ssbl1t you must be sure and bring him back before night"
 The woman brought the child back. but asked as a further favor that she might have him for guest until some one adopted him. At the end of three days she announced that she ''wouldn't part with that boy for a farm 2

THE QUIET MAN iN TrE coRNE

I fingered o'er checker game a night or
 two ago; The one who played against me seemed to
 have no ghost of show; had a bunch of lusty kings that strutted
 all about And pulled my opponents s men, who dared
 not venture out. Way over in corner shrunk timid little
 man, Who stayed right in his station ever since
 the game began; He watched my crowned heads marching
 by with banner ard with song, And seemed to be discouraged over stand
 ing still so long. But pretty soon an opening occurred two And not another moment dia that little
 fellow stay. He bounded, OCT the board and took three
 kings in one fell swoop, Then landed in my king-row with a wild,
 ecstatic whoop. You've known these quiet fellows that just
 sat around and thought, And never made noise while the other
 raged and fought; The whole community had come to think
 of them as dead, Or else so very near it that their hope of
 fame had fled The chaps with recognition for their por-
 tion pose and strut, Andt seem to overlook the man who keeps
 his talkar shut But some day, when most every one Is
 locking t'other way, This quiet fellow sees a chance to break
 into the play; He reaches cut and grabs things that the
 others had ignored; He puts into the life-game all the energy
 he'd stored Through all the years of silence So you'd
 better nat forget The still man in the corner, for he'll reach the king row yet! -S. w. Gillian, in Los Angeles Herald.
