The God of Love.

It is not gold of rippIed hair.
Like cornfelds swept by winds at play.
1t is not cheeks as fresh and fair
AS apple bloom at dawn Of day.
It Is not these that sing to Love,
And bid him wake so sure. 50 soon:
That set the skies alight above,
And set him crying for the moon.
it is not heart-gold pure and bright
AS virgin gold in hidden seams;
1t is not soul as clear and light
AS sunrise in a poets dreams.
1t is not these that give Love food
And drink-the magic wine and bread
That set, amid his solitude,
The enchanted garland on his head.
Love only knows one god sublime,
The trinity in unity;
And the gods names are Space and Time
And-OppOrtunity

Emergency Medicines.

1t is a great convenience to have
at hand reliable remedies for use in
cases of accident and for slight in
juries and ailments. A good liniment
and one that is fast becoming a ia
vorite if not a household necessity,
is Chamberlain's Pain Balm. By ap-
plying it promptly to a cut, bruise or
burn it allays the pain and causes the
injury to heal in about one-third the
time usually required, and as it is an
antiseptic it prevents any danger of
blood poisoning. When Pain Balm is
kept at hand a sprain may be treated
before Inflammation sets in, which
insures a quick recovery. Fol sale by
all druggists.

ate Of character to the present Re-

printed in the Albuquerque Journal

A COMPLETE TRIUMPH.

A complete triumph in the art of bodybuilding can be clearly illustrated by seeing "The Mid night Express, soon to appear here. The four acts of gorgeous stage settings are marvelously beautiful, producing an enchant- ing effect. A train of cars three hundred feet long,a light house, a storm at sea, are among the scenic splendors of The Mid night Express, which is said to be the purest and most intense of melo-dramas of this genera tion. A company of sixteen cleverly interpret the interesting plot. There are also six special ty artists and two talented chil- dren performers in '"The Mid night Express" which comes to Newport theatre for one night, Dec. 13.
