WEAKNESS.

o little feet, that such long years
Must wander on through hopes and
fears.
Must ache and bleed beneath your load /:
L. nearer to the waySide inn
Where toll shall cease and rest begin,
Am weary, thinking of your road
o, little hands, that, weak or strong
Have still to rule SO long,
Have still long to give or ask,
L. who so much with book and pen
Have toiled among my fellow men,
Am weary, thinking of your task
o, little hearts, that throb and beat
With such impatient, feverish heat,
Such limitleSS and strong desires.
Mine that so long has glowed and burned,
With passion into ashes turned,
Now covers and conceals its fires
o, little souls, as pure and white
And crystalline rays of light
Direct from heaven. their source divine:
Refracted through the mist of years,
How red my setting sun appears.
How lurid looks this soul of mine.

RECORD RUN TO KANSAS CITY
Wabash Train Makes Trip in Five
Hours and Fifty Minutes.

Hours and Fifty Minutes.
Wabash train No. 9, fast mail be-
tween ST. Louis and Kansas City,
made a record-breaking run from St.
Louis to Kansas City Sunday after
noon.
The schedule time for starting is
2:2o p. M, and the regular time for
the run is seven hours and ten mir
utes. No. 9 started one hour late,
lost twenty minutes on the way and
pulled into Kansas City on time, max
ing the run in five hours and fifty
minutes. five minutes faster than any
previous record.
There was a full equipment OF q
mail car, combination car, chair car
and diner. At many places along the
route the train showed a speed OF
seventy miles an hour, and between
Mexico and Montgomery City a mile
minute was reeled off. The dis
lance is twenty-four miles, and it took
just twenty-four minutes to make the
trip.
The train was in charge of Con-
ductor ]. S. Gould. The engineer was

estly refused the proffered dedication
to himself and offered it, instead, to
Peace; and at the close of January OF
that year he dedicated a colossal, al
tar, surrounded by marble screen,
upon which were sculptured exquisite
reliefs, representing professions OF the
noble friends of Augustus, priests and
others These latter were all crowned
with laurel and bore branches of olive
in their hands. Above them ran an en-
riched frieze displaying deliberately
carved foliations, flowers, and fes-
toons, typifying the fertility of the
earth. 1t was a golden moment in the
art life of Rome. and the design and
workmanship were of the finest. The
monument consisted of rectangular
platform having a front and back of
thirty-siX feet, with sides measuring
thirty-three feet, and was reached by
a flight of steps from the Via Flaminia.
The position given to it in the
Campus Martius corresponds precisely
with the angle of the Via S. Lorenzo
in Lucina, where that street opens out
Cf the modern Corso, nearly opposite
Via Frattina and adjoining the Palazzo
Fiano-Ottoboni, in the cellars and
among the foundations of which the
present exploration and excavation
was lately commenced. For, inspired
by the fine volume devoted to illustrat-
ing this great monument by Prof.
Peterson, of the German Archaeolo-
gical institute in Rome, the Municipal
ity and the Minister of Public Instruc-
ton having come to agreement as to
the significance of precisely locating
the site, they approached Signor AL
magia, the proprietor of the palace,
who himself a most shillful engineer
and enthusiastic lover of archaeology
not only helped to bring about proper
scheme for the desired research. but
has generously aided it with money.
In consequence the work was put into
the hands of Signor Cannizaro, who
began operations on July 81. Early
in August an opening was made in
Via Lucina, and presently traces led
the explorer right on to the Longitude
nal axis of the spacious altar, even
to the sill of the great door opening to
the Via Flaminia.

KNOWS NOW
Doctor Was Fooled by His Own Case
for a Time.

It's easy to understand how ordi-
nary people get fooled by coffee when
doctors themselves sometimes forget
the facts.
A physician speaks of his own ex-
perience:
st had used coffee for years and
really did not exactly believe it was
injuring me although I had palp.ta-
ton of the heart every day.
Finally one day a severe and al
most fatal attack of heart trouble
frightened me and 1 gave up both
tea and coffee, using Postum instead,
and since that time 1 have had abso-
1utely no heart palpitation except on
one or two occasions when l tried a
small quantity of coffee which caused
severe irritation and proved to me
must let it alone.
when we began using Postum II
seemed weak-that was because we
did not make it according to direc-
tions-but now we put a little bit OF
butter in the pot when boiling and al
low the Postum to boil full Is minutes
which gives it the proper rich flavor
and the deep brown color.
81 have advised a great many OF
my friends and patients to leave on
coffee and drink Postum; in fact,
daily give this advice" Name given

Many thousands of physicians use
Postum in place of tea and coffee In
their own homes and prescribe 1t to
patients. There's a reason"
