The Rocky Mountain Goat Still Survives in
in Canada.
TScribner's

The Rocky Mountain goat was the only
one Of the larger wild animals that we
saw-all others seem to have become ex-
tinct, or nearly so. In 1859, although
even at that time game was known to be
scarce, DR.. Hector, in % days, while
traversing the same ground as ourselves,
killed or saw bear, moose, wapiti and
mountain-sheep, besides goat. Only 16
years ago Mr.. Green, when travelling in
the Selkirk ranges Of the Rockies, found
that the sO-called goat was comparative
ly tame from never having been dis
turbed," and said that it was inclined
rather to seek our company than to shun
it," and mentioned an instance of n full
grown animal coming within five yards"
Of himself and his two companions. do
not think that they ever came within 900
yards of us. In August, while encamped in
the Upper YOhO, we saw II in clump at
about that distance, and never saw any
others closer, though it may be done oc-
casionally. BY rare piece Of good for
tune. one of the Swiss guides, stationed at
Field, captured kid in the early part Of
the season Q9OI. The little animal was
tied up at the back of the Mt. Stephen
House, and became nearly domesticated in
the course Of a couple of months. Hasler
sold his treasure TO an American gentle
man and it went to Philadelphia. The
smaller wild animals, however, were
numerous and not difficult to catch; but
some did not thrive and died in confine-
ment.

| Thousands of brain workers and women
whose health gives way under the strain
of overwork, anxiety. the cares and wor-
ries of business or the home, suffer from
severe stomach trouble, indigestion, head
I ache, insomnia or general nervousness
Many of these poor sufferers try various
| treatments for years without experiencing
ANYTHING more than temporary relief
| The reason is plain.
Briefy-they direct treatment to the
symptoms instead of to the disease, a vital
error.
These troubles can arise from but one
cause, VIA arrangement of the nerves
No matter what the cause, the first bad
effects of disordered nerves are usually
felt in the stomach, the source of supply
of nourishment for the whole body.
Stomach trouble comes from loss of vital
! ity and results in inactivity of the nerves.
Of the stomach and of its tributary glands
From this condition arise the attacks of
! INDIGESTION, headache. sleeplessness. nery-
BUSINESS, irritability and incapacity for the
daily work.
Since these disasreeable symptoms arise
| from arrangement of the nerves affect
ing more particularly the stomach, the
natural remedy is one that gently stin,u
lates the action of the stomach nerves
while it strengthens and inyigorates the
whole nervous system,
Such a remedy is DR.. Miles Restorative
Nervine SiAieh. as its name implies, nour
ishes, builds, replenishes and restores the
nerves to condition of health and
strength. 1t is true nerve tonic, Great
ing strength and power in permanent
manner. 1t is in no sense Il stimulant,
whose action is purely temporary.
If you are suffering from a nervous dis
order m even a slight degree you will find
DR.. Miles Nervine admirably suited to-
your case. 1t is especially good for weak,
rundown. nervous women. 1t is sold by
all druggists on positive guerantee to
benefit you or your money will be re
funded. We viii be glad to help yeu to
a proper understanding Of your trouble.

SALUTE THE FLAG.
II. II. BENNETT.

Hats off!
Along the street here comes
A blare Of bugles, a ruffie of drums,
flash Of color beneath the sky.
Hats off! The flag is passing by!
Blue and crimson and white it shines
Over the steel-tipped, ordered lines.
Hats off. The colors before us fly;
But more than the flag is passing by
Sea fights and land fights, grim and great
Fought to make and to save the state;
Weary marches and sinking ships;
Cheers of victory on dying lips;
Days of plenty and years of peace.
March of strong lands swift increase;
Equal justice, and right, and law,
Stately honor and reverent awe;
Sign of Nation, great and strong,
To ward her people from foreign wrong;
Pride, and glory, and honor. all
Live in the colors to stand or fall.
Hats off! Along the street there comes
A blare of bugles, q ruffle of drums,
And loyal hearts are beating high
Hats off! The flag is passing by.

A TRIBUTE.
For Memorial Day, 1908.
Il. II. SHAFToE.

Go. gather fairest flowers
From the forest and the field:
Let the garden and the greenhouse
Their choicest treasures yield:
Weave them into fragrant garlands,
And lay them on the grave
or him who gave the best he had
Our Nations life TO save. .-
Then sound the good old bugle;
Let its tones be clear and strong,
As it leads the mighty chorus
Of a grand and noble song
To the praise of living heroes
Who, mid the deadly fray,
Won honOrs for our Nation
That can never fade away.
For those who fought in blue and gray
Go marching side by side;
A great and happy people
In security abide;
DisuniOn now has passed away
From our fair land so free;
And Old Glory waves in triumph
Over all, from sea to sea.

The fond young husband bites into one,

DIR. THOMAS CALvER.

As Springs reviving. sunny smile .
And fowery woods and fields
The sadness Of our hearts beguile
With nectar Nature yields,
We may not hear the bells that tolled
AS dust to dust we bore,
Nor see the arms of earth enfold
Our loved ones gone before. .-
We may forget our anguish deep,
AS helplesSly we wcpt.
To see how sure the endless sleep
Upon our loved ones crept;
The eyes mute call for help to live,
That aching heartStrings tore:
Their plea for aid we could not give
Our loved ones gone before.
We may forget the hours we grieved
And stood with helpless hands,
As angel arms in love received
Our own in far-off lands.
The wasted form. the faded cheek,
The lips that moved no more;
The dark, wherein we vainly seek
Our loved ones gone before.
In days of Spring, so fresh and bright,
No more may come the thought
or watches through the silent night.
When Deaths dread host we fought;
But when the shadows come again
To lonely hearts and sore, -4.zs---
We miss, oh, how we miss them them
Our loved ones gone before. sa -
The truest hearts must suffer most,
The largest hearts most ache.
As Heavens unseen. absorbing host
The comrade spirits take.
Such greatest hearts the hardest fought
To keep on hither shore
The souls so dear whom angels sought
Our loved ones gone before.
And if in days of ease and peace ~
We miss the souls that speed,
How must the agony increase. ~ y
How must the fond heart bleed,
In days when comradeShip is all
That cheers the battles roar. -
To see. as we did, dear ones fall
Our loved ones, gone before! 80 49,
Our comrades of the dreary tramp
Through dust and scorching heat;
Our comrades in the fire-lit camp,
When rested weary feet;
Our comrades when the field was red
With life-spent human gore
Oh, how our hearts for them have
bled!-
Our loVeu ONeS, gone DeIOre.
But days will come when we will know
Just what this anguish means;
When tears like diamond drops will
glow,
Sad eyes see golden scenes:
The darker now. the brighter there,
Upon that thither shore,
Where We will find, as angels fair,
Our loved ones, gone before.

OUR LOVED ONES GONE BEFORE.

The following beautiful poem, by DIR.
Thomas Calver. read by him on Memorial
Day at the Soldiers Home National Gem
etery, had sad significance to the veter-
ans at the Home. A year ago this Mem
Orial Day Miss Lillian Calver. the only
daughter of DR.. Calver. lent the sunshine
Of her presence to the day. A month ago
all that was mortal of fair Lillian was
laid under the sod at Rock Greek Gene
terry adjoining the Soldiers Home. She
had been much loved by the veterans
there, who followed her to her last home
with trailing colors and mourning hearts.

OUR STAINLESS BANNER.
An Invocation.
BY ROBERT BURNS WILSON.

Great God. the stately ships that ride
Beneath our banner on the sea-
The Nations heart, the Nations pride
These we commend to Thee.
These, with the brave devoted souls
Whose dauntless courage now must bide
The shock OF battle where it rolls
And storms across the darkening tide,
These We commend to Thee.
If wars red wing must fill the cup
Which may not pass from us. then send
Thy strength to bend each spirit up;
Our stainless flag defend!
When wars red tempest sets the glare
OF flaming madness round us, when
Whirls, threatening our defenders, then
Our stainless flag defend.
Our stainless flag. that never yet
DishOnor nor defeat hath lowered
Untouched, unclouded by regret
Keep, with Thy flaming sword!
Undimmed her stars, that never yet
Their luster to shames cause have
Bright, like the stars which Thou hast set
To shine in Thy blue firmament-
Keep, with Thy flaming sword!
COMRADES. JOIN THE FLAG OF GLORY.
Comrades, join the flag of glory!
Cheerily tread the deck Of fame,
Earn a place in future story,
Seek and win a warriors name.
Yankee tars can laugh at dangers
While the roaring mountain wave
Teens with carnage-they are strangers
To decd that is not brave.
May our hammered stars as ever
Splendidly DER freemen burn,
Till the night of war is over,
Till the dawn of peace return.

field
This flag was the National banner from
1195 to 1918. during which period oc-
Cured the War of 1872 with Great
Britain.
i By 1918 five additional States Tennes-
see, Ohio, Louisiana, Indiana, and Missis-
IsippD had been admitted into the Union,
and therefore further change in the flag
seemed to be required.
After considerable discussion in Con-
gress on the subject the act OF April 4,
1918. was passed, which provided
First. THAT from and after the 4th
day of July next, the Flag of the United
States be IL horizontal stripes, alternate
rcd and. white; that the Union have 20
Stars, white in a blue tield.''
Second. That on the admission of
every State into the Union. one star be
added to the union of the Flag, and that
such addition shall take effect on the 4th
of July next succeeding such admission
| The return to the IL stripes Of the 1777
Flag was due, in n measure, to n rever-
ence for the standard of the Revolution:
but it was also due to the fact that a
further increase of the number of stripes
would have made the width of the Flag
out Of proportion to its length. unless the
stripes were narrowed. and this would
have impaired their distinctness when
seen from distance.
a newspaper of the time said:
| by this regulation the 13 stripes will
represent the number of States whose
valor and resources originally effected
American independence, and the addi-
tional stars will mark the in
crease of the States since the present Con
stituton T."
| No act has since been passed by Com
gress altering this feature of the Flag, and
| it is the same as originally adopted, ex-
cept as to. the number of stars in its
union.
In the war with Mexico the National
Flag bore % stars in its union: during the
war of the rebellion 50, and since July 4,
1896, 45 stars.
THE FLAG.
A flag swung high on rampant bold,
And the soldiers saw it blow;
And the sun went down and the stars
came out,
And over the field died the battle shout,
While the sentries paced to and fro.
A bell tOlled firm in the midday air,
And flag futtered over the trees,
And the people gaZed with proud demean
On the flag that faunted the starry thir-
High in the Midsummer breeze.
The stars have grown since that far-off
day,
And the stripes are true and bright,
And over the country they sweep afar-
Gallant each stripe and gallant each star!
Shining by day and by night.
A single bell toiled in the long ago,
To rally the brave little band
Where chimes now peel in the stiffening
breeze.
And shouts ring joyously over the seas,
And flags wave over the land.
