AT THE TABLE.

The years have sped since first / led
You to the table, dear,
And you sat over there alone
And sat smiling here.
A year or two flew past and you
No longer sat alone.
A little one was in your arms,
Your darling and my own.
And then another year or so,
And some one else was there;
And Willie sat near me, you know,
While Trottie claimed your care.
The years have sped since first / led
/ You to the table, dear,
And you looked queenly at the foot
And l felt kingly here.
Today. as look down at you.
On either side l see
A row of hungry little ones
All gazing up at me.
We've added leaves, one after one.
And you are far away
Aye, thrice as far, my dear, as on
That happy. happy day.
But though we sit so far apart
You there and up here
Two rows of hearts from NV fond heart
Stretch down to you, my dear.
Thank God for every extra leaf
The table holds today,
And may we never know the grief
Ofputting one away.

 The Jewish festivals always extend from evening to evening" and She- buoth began with a brief service last night A beautiful choral service was arranged for the occasion by MT. E. L.. Merriman. organist and choir master.
 Rabbi Messing delivered a brief but eloquent sermonette.. He referred to the exquisite decorations in the church. kind gifts by kindlier hands" and said: Tt is mere empty pomp and pageant which attracts us to the con tirmation year after year! Parade and display. stale by frequent iteration. affects us as does an excursion to green swards and shady dells. Every vine. climbing and blossoming tells of joy and love. Every little flower. thrilled by the kisses of the sun. tends to put blossom in the heart"
 He said that centuries of history lay behind the children who would come to ask blessing on the morrow. The sand years had come to these boys and girls. All that the ages had wrought was theirs by the mystery of descent.
 'Tn the presence of the tumult and Fare we equal to the task of producing a race of men of stalwart integrity and incorruptible honesty in all depart ments of human life. workers of jus tice. believers in the fatherhood of God and the brotherhood of man?"
 That question. he said. would never be answered until the children had been taught to derive solace and inspi- ration from that spirit that lit a bea- con for humanity on every rugged hill top of old Judea.
 Save the cradle and you save the future. We SOW children. we reap men and women" he declared.

EveryThrob Of My Heart Was Plainly F cit, and Sometimes Very
 Painful.

If your pulse Is too strong. and your heart throbs so that you can feel the force of the heartbeat against your chest. your heart is weak and needs at tention.
 This Is usually caused by long contin- ued palpitation, over-work, excessive exercise, heart strain. and the condition indicates serious heart trouble. You should act at once.
 The very best thing to do is to take Dr. Miles New Heart Cure, a remedy that will strengthen the nerves and muscles of the heart, and restore them to their normal condition.
 If you neglect to do this. disastrous consequences will surely follow. You will have smothering spells. pain in the heart. faintness. the valves of the heart will become leaky. and the heart left in a death struggle.
 ssMy heart bothered me so that I could feel every pulsation. Could only sleep on my left side. Doctors told me that I had one-fifth enlargement Of the heart. I had all the usual symptoms of heart trouble. took about Is or 20 bottIes of Dr. Miles Heart Cure and am completely cured. I have had no symp- tom of heart disea re for two years. and am attending to my business affairs. which I could not do before. -

 Thirteen times or more the moon has waxed and waned since the municipal buildings of Selma were begun and yet they stand uncompleted. Nor doth 1t appear yet when they shall be finished. According to reports today work Is suspended--practica if not literally. The walls of the city hall and of the fire engine house are finished and there are roofs upon them. But there is little else done. It is understood that there are some tin shingles in freight station for the contractor who 1t is said is awaiting the receipt of bill of lading.
 The contract for the construction was awarded more than year ago-before the present city administration came into power. The work has dragged along. The city council has deter mined to demand completion at once. but it has been unable to confer with the architect and scenes to be power less.
