] pity those who are by fortune doomed
To live within the city, where the heat
And dust and noise and smoke make
every street
Well nigh unbearable. The woods, H.
lumed
With sunlight. and the pleasant meads
With bloom are not for them. Their
weary feet
Tread other paths. and natures treas
ures sweet
They never taste; but, as it were, en-
tombed
Mid piles of brick and stone. they spend
their days
Far from the sweet content and restful
OF country life. The wind. low muir

Brings them no fragrance from the flow

Where cattle wander. and the birds in

Do never gladden. them with their sweet

What Is Success?
What is SUCCESSIVE winning of much
gold?
Perhaps. if it be won in honesty.
But he who, striving after higher things.
Dies poor may equally successful be.
What is success-the winning Of name?
1t may be If the record shows no spot:
Yet he may be successful who is true,
Although he pass from earth to be for
got.
What is success7-the winning of much
power?
It may be if while power one doth seek
He still respects the rights of other men
And tramples not upon the low and
weak.
What is success? Not wealth nor fame
nor power,
But purity of heart and love and truth
And honest work well done for God and
man.
Success like this be yours. ambitious
youth!

The Cry of the Aae.

The Cry Of the Age.
When has there been an age like this?
When has there, been an age that called
So loudly and beseechingly
For noble men and noble deeds?
For mighty brains to take and solve
Perplexing problems. mighty hearts
To dare and do and mighty souls
Broad, gen rous forceful-to instruct
And lift and lead? From every path
That man has blazed into the wild;r
From every highway where the feet
OF thousahds press; from every mart
Thexcry goes UP, an earnest cali
For earnest men! The world today
Has needs II never knew before
For itShas passed the shadow. passed
This travail OF the ancient void.
Passed from the grip OF primal thinga
Passed into light and taken there
Its first full goblet from the sun!
That Draft has stirred the very rocks
Upon the hills. has turned to power
The wa1teful waters. has instilled
A purpose In the tFuant winds.
The air is pregnant with great news
Great news OF glories yet to be
When we have answered to the age,
When we have Weakened to the light!
Strong men and true. great men and goo1s
Brave men and wise in simple faith:
Men warm withsloveEand rich with hopH1
Men with high aims and lowly hearts.
The age Ia calling out for these
Crying along the crowded streets,
Crying along the quiet lanes.
Its voice Is booming from the towers
And whispering from the furrcwed fields,
''Give me my strong and earnest men!
Give me my Davids and st. Johns!"

LITTLE Men and Women.

Little Men and Women.
When the sun has left the hilltop
And the daisy fringe IL furled.
When tha birds from. wood and meadow
In their hidden nests are curled,
Then l think OF all tho babies
That are sleeping In the world.
There are babies in the highlands
And babies IN the low;
There arc pale ones wrapped In furry
& skins
On the margin Of the snow,
And brown ones naked in the isles
Where all the sptces grow.
And some are in the palace
On a white and downy bed.
And some are in the garnet.
With clout beneath their head.
And some are on the cold. hard earth.
Whose mothers have no bread
Oh. little men and women.
Dear flowers yet unblown:
Oh. little kings and beggars
OF the pageant yet unshown,
Sleep soft and dream pale dreams now;
Tomorrow is your own.
Laurence Alma-Tadema.
In Glover.
Mother Earth has many children.
Humble weeds and blossoms fair,
Tiny grasses. royal roses,
Sanity lilies tall and fair;
But tho dearest Of her nurslings
Are the rosy weans that stray
In the fields and wayside places:
Benny clover blooms are they.
Christen'd with the rains of heaven,
Fed with sparkling sun and dew,
How they riot in their freedom
Fragrant little gypsy crew.
While the butterflies above them
Float on silken. yellow wings,
Darling down anon in rapture
To caress the rosy things.
Often. too. como human lovers
Through the verdure and perfume,
Seeking for the four leaves hidden
Somewhere meath the dewy bloom.
Happy token that shall bring them.
II they hnd 1t, luck untold,
Love unclouded, faith unchanging,
Gifts and blessings manifold.
Blessing on these wayside prophets
Growing humbly at our feet!
May the lot ordain'd the lovers
Be as happy and as sweet.

DYSPEPSIA REMEDY THAT CURES.
If Mi-o-na Does Not Cure W. Merritt will
Refund Your Money.

Among all the remedies in J. W. Mer-
ritt's popular drug store there are few that
he is willing to sell on a guarantee to re-
fund the money if they do not cure. MILO
ma, the famous dyspepsia remedy, has made
so many cures among his customers that
J. w. Merritt says If this remedy does
not cure yon, bring back the empty box
and he will cheerfully return your money
Anyone who has dyspepsia, Indigestion,
headaches, dizzy feeling, or liver troubles,
should take advantage Of this chance to be
made well without any risk of spending
their money to no purpose. Mi-o-na will
cure; will regulate the digestion will ena-
BILE anyone to eat what he wants. If it
does not do all this. the medicine will not
cost you cent.
]. w. Merritt has sold great many
boxes of Mi-o-na in the last few weeks and
has vet to receive the first complaint from
any customer. Such record is simply
marvellous and speaks volumes for the merit
of the remedy.

In these days of keen newspaper compe.
tition it is gratifying to observe that 7zt
Philadelphia Record still holds its
place as the foremost newspaper in PennsY-
lvania, position it has occupied with hon,
or to itself and credit to the community
for many years. Not only does it lead in
circulation, but its influence to-day is even
stronger than it has ever been before, which
is saying much In the matter of giving
the news it is invariably first in the field,
while its editorial page continues to be a
powerful champion of the cause Of the
people.
Editorially The Record ranks with the
best Its opinions are not only sound and
scholarly, they are fearless and independent
as well. 1t is deliberate in its judgement
of men and measures affecting public life,
and when those judgements are once form
ed there is no equivocation. What we
most admire about The Record is its back.
bone.
The success of such paper is consequent
ly not to be wondered at. 1t has the people
with it because the people realize that
when it makes a fight it is fighting for
them This has ever been The Records
policy, to advocate the things that tend
toward the public good. There have been
times in the past when it has seemed to
even antagonize its own interests by taking
the unpopular side Of a controversy, but
has eventually demonstrated its farsighted-
ness by bringing the public to its way Of
thinking. An illustration Of this occurred
more than decade ago when single handed
and in the face of tremendous opposition,
it advocated the introduction of trolley
cars into Philadelphia. Looking back, it
seems almost incomprehensible that such a
condition of affairs could have existed.
Many other illustrations of the progress
siye spirit Of The Record could be cited, but
the greatest lies in the fact that it is apprec-
lated to the extent of boasting the largest
circulation of any newspaper published in
Pennsylvania.

FIRE CLAIMS THEIR HOME.
Second Time in Two Years Mr.. and
Mrs. Hayden are Left Destitute 4
by Fire,

Last Saturday evening the resi-
dence Of Micky Hayden and fam
lily was totally destroyed by fire
together with all of its contents.
The blaze was discovered at a few
minutes to six by some of the
neighbors. 1t was also seen from
town at about the same time and
an alarm turned. The depart
ment responded promptly. but
owing to the distance from town
could render but little assistance,
as the building was sold mass of
flames when they arrived. The
origin of the fire is unknown.
Mr.. and Mrs. Hayden were both
absent at the time and their three
small children, the oldest six years
old, were at home alone.
1t was due to the presence
Of mind of the oldest boy, Jimmie
that the lives of the other two
children were saved, he having
carried them from the burning
building unaided and before any
help arrived.
Besides the loss of his home
and furniture Mr.. Hayden was
left almost penniless; as one hun
dred dollars in currency, repre-
senting his entire winters savings,
was burned with the house. "A
petition was circulated about the
city the fore part of the week and
in the neighborhood of $50 were
secured which will go long way
towards helping them get started
in housekeeping again. A little
over a year ago their home was
burned, the cause in that occasion
having been a blaze started by
the children in the absence OF
their mother. 1t is probable that
the recent conhagration original
in the same manner.

The Judicial Vote,

One of the most surprising fea-
lures of the election was the un
usually large judicial vote cast,
not only here, but all over the
state. Late press reports would
indicate that Kerwin is in the
lead. There are still a large nnm-
Der OF precincts to be heard from
and Luse's gain in these districts
may be sufficient to place him in
the lead. Complete returns SO far
received give Kerwin a majority
of I,o44 votes However, it is ex-
pected that the official count will
be necessary TO decide the cleo
ton.
