Most HORRIBLE OF All Dream,

Most Horrible OF All Dreams,
No words are strong enough to point
out the danger Of slow poisoning by
drugs which are often taken to procure
sleep, whether it be an alcoholic night
cap, morphine, opium. choral or any
other. The medical man has recourse
with reluctance to these as q last and
temporary resort. and only he can tell
how many lives are wrecked by the
Ill timed use OF them and their subse-
Qusnt abuse. OF all horrible dreams
none is so awful az those which assail
people who habitually use these false
comforters. Better than all the drugs
In the world for procuring sleep are
simple food, regular life and a calm
mind.-Cassells

An exchange tells the story of young girls
composition on men: s'Men are what women
marry. They drink and smoke and swear and
have so many pockets, but they wont 60 to church.
Maybe if they wore bonnets they would. They are
more logical than women and always more zoolog-
ical. Both men and women have sprung from
monkeys but the women have certainly sprung
further than the men,

Chairman of the Democratic National Committee.
He is said to be very popular in his state, and no

The Southern Soldier Boy.
BY FATHER RYAN.

Young as the youngest who donned the gray,
True as the truest who wore it,
Brave as the bravest who marched away
(Hot tears on the cheeks Of his mother lay);
Triumphant waved our fay one day,
He fell in front before it.
A grave in the wood with the grass DER grown,
A grave in the heart of his mother,
His clay in the one, ifeless and lone,
But his memory lives in the other.
Firm as the hrmest where duty led,
He hurried without falter;
Bold as the boldest he fought and bled,
And the day was won but the field was red;
And the blood of his fresh young heart was shed,
On his country's hallowed altar.
On the trampled breast OF the battle plain,
Where the foremost ranks had wrestled.
The fairest form mid all the slain
Like child asleep he nestled,
In the solemn of the woods that swept
The field where his comrades found him,
They buried him there, and strong men wept,
As in silence they gathered round him.
