LAMENTATION OF ELIPHALET.
Tune, "Beltldh Land. :"


I've reached the land of mud and rain,
I've struggled long this land to gain.
And now that / have reached the spot
| sometimes wish that had not.
CHORUS: o, webfoot land, wet webfoot land
AS in my house l sadly stand
And gaze without through dripping
rain.
1t makes me sad, it gives me pain.
sometimes wish that I could fly
To lands where it is sometimes dry.
1t rains at morn, it rains at eve.
1t rains at noon-there's no reprieve,
Day after day it's just the same;
Iwonder why ever came.
1t does no good to kick and swear,
To throw your boots or tear your hair,
You cannot change the web of gray
To skies of blue a single day,
You wish to go to see friend
1t always rains, on that depend,
And if you ever go to town
You'll have to wear rubber gown
Sometimes the mud is rather wet,
And so you think cab I'll get:
But when you've rode mile or two
You wish you'd walked, indeed you do.
And if it stops an hour or two,
And old King Sol the clouds put through,
The people say, =" Wen, Ill allow.
We're going to have'fair weather now.
They would not lie-Oh, mercy. no!
They simply have forgot, you know,
And when dry weather comes again
They'll say, think we re needing rain
They fold their hands upon their knees,
And laugh and talk and take their ease,
They leave their apples on the trees
And dig their spuds* when e'er they please
The people ride about in hacks,
With green moss growing on their backs,
And with umbrellas DER their nose
And rubber coats down to their toes.
And on their feet I have been told
Percbance tits true, perchance I'm sold
But have heard, between their toes
A sort of webby substance grows.
I'm tired. I'm sick and 1 am cross,
hate the sight of mud and moss,
My bones they ache, my joints they swell,
IT'S rheum atiSm, know full we'll.
If ever do get the cash
For eastern lands I'll make dash:
I'll live where I can see the sum-
And where my clothes won't look so bum.

Weak
Hearts

Are due to indigestion. Ninety-nine of every
one hundred people who have heart trouble
can remember when it was simple indiges-
ton. 1t is scientific fact that all cases Of
heart disease, not organic, are not only
traceable to, but are the direct result of indi-
gestion. All food taken into the stomach
which fails of perfect digestion ferments and
swells the stomach, putting it up against the
heart. This interferes with the action of
the heart, and in the course of time that
delicate but vital organ becomes diseased.
Mr.. D. Kauble. Of Nevada. O.. says / had stomach
trouble and was in bad state as had heart trouble
with it. took Kodol Dyspepsia Cure for about four
months and it cured me.
kodol Digests What You Eat
and relieves the stomach of all nervous
strain and the heart of all pressure.
Bottles only $l.oo Size holding 2H times the trial
