A Plea for Eve.

Now comes another scientist. who
seek to shock us with
A very grave announcement that old
Adam was a myth:
He says the fig-leaf story is Pigment
of the brain;
We must not blame old Adam when
we go to raising Cain;
So, good by, Adam; Noah, too, and
Jonah-all are gone
But, Mister Scientist, please leave US
Eve to blame things on.
This scientist says Adam is but allie
gor-i-cal.
A mystic sort of story from the arch
ives prim-e-val.
We used to like to think of all the
beasts. both wild and tame,
That trotted up to Adam while he
made for each name,
And how the dinossaur and pterod-
actyl mussed the lawn
The scientists have barely left us Eve
to blame things on.
We cling to Eve-we've got to have
plausible excuse
For every little tendency to turn our
language loose,
Or steal a horse, or crack bank, or
gaily to deceive
Those things, you know, originated
with good mother Eve,
So, shatter Adam II you will, but in
our lexicon
Be sure to leave the name of Eve for
us to blame things on.

Troubles That Never Come.

The story is told of lady who for
bles. 1t was relief to see them
down in black and white. Some
months later. in looking over the list,
she was surprised to find that nine
tenths of the troubles had never ma
terialized. They had an existence
only in her imagination.
The troubles that never come form
the heaviest part of our daily load.
The worry, the fear caused by these
apprehended miseries, often work sad
havoc with brain and nerves. The
actual sorrows, bereavements, the dis
appointments have their comfort and
cure But there is no cure for
troubles that never come. They are
haunting ghosts, unsubstantial as
mist, yet very real in their depressing
and harmful power over us.
There is toll in our daily living;
there is WEAKNESS; still blessed rest
will follow. But the WEAKNESS of
imagined burdens drags the very heart
and hope out of those who indulge in
these unhealthful fancies.
There's a song to tighten the toll,
And a staff for climbing the height
But never an alpenstock
For the hills that are out of sight.
There are bitter herbs enough
In the trimming cup of to-day,
without the sprig of rue
From tomorrow's unknown way.
Every day comes as a fresh gift
from the hand of God. In 1t are just
the experiences His loving wisdom
has ordained. Meet with a brave
heart all that is in the days portion.
but shrink not from phantom lions oil
from shadows that seem to blot out
the sun.-Exchange.

SIMPLE REMEDY FOR cATARRH.


II a few years ago some one had said
you can cure catarrh by breathing air
charged with healing balsam. the
idea would have been ridiculed, and II
remained for that eminent investi-
gator. r. T. Booth. to discover In Hy-
omei this method of cure.
Hyomei has performed almost mir
aculous cures Of catarrh and Is day
recognized by leading members of the
medical profession as the only adver-
tised remedy that can be relied upon
to do just what 1t claims. The COM
plete outfit of Hyomei costs but $1.00
and consists OF an inhaler. a medicine
dropper and a bottle of Hyomei.
Breathe Hyomei through the inhaler
for few minutes four times q day and
1t will cure the worst case Of catarrh.
II soothes and heals the mucous
membrane of the air passages, pre-
vents irritation, and effects complete
and lasting cure.
In Brattleboro there are scores Of
well known people who say they have
been cured of catarrh by Hyomei. II
ii does not cure you. George Il. Greene
will return the money you paid for
Hyomei. This Is the strongest evil
dence that can be offered as to his faith
In the remedy.

a USEFUL COMBINATION.

The following excerpt from an arti-

useful combination Of two leading re-

They are likewise most valuable In
cases of periodical attacks Of headache

the life of hermit for years. His pecul-

He was hustling business man
And ever on the go.
He rushed his business day and night
And rustled to and fro.
But strange to say this business man
Was always deep In debt:

No profits could he get.
