Miss Gorhman's poem follows.
Glass Poem.
las a traveller upward climbing

lpauses Id biz upward journey
For d space his footsteps stay
while he looks adown the the pathway
Which so late he's trodden Ger;
Then looks upward toward the sum.

Ever standing forth before:

So IL is with the class before you
TIL now plodding slowly on
Up the hard pathway OF knowledge
To the summit dim beyond
We, too, pause now for a season,
For d while our progress stay
/, For We feel we may claim a respite
on our graduation day.
iii.
With our eyes less bright than usual
We look down that pathway strewn,
Where BY patient, brave endeavor
We our forward way have hewn,
And the tangled ways Of learning,
Every year have harder grown,
Each one claimed a greater effort,
Every year more seed has sown.

For the great and final harvest,

When the forward journeys finished,
or the summit has been won.
And our haryests will be. measured
BY the greatness Of intent,
All may read d Utmost natures,
BY what our SUBMITS represent.

Strange Ii is-syet thus 1t should be,
OF these several heights there's

But what has a different aspect
In each futures horizon.
Some appearing toward the heavens,
Show BY aspect stern their name,

That II We should ne'er become
What our fancies long have made us,

The more good shall we acquire.

WHERE MILLIONS ARE MADE
Interesting Letter That May Mean Much
to Residents of Great Bend.

Probably there is not a reader of
the DEMOCRAT who has not heard of
the fortunes made IN the Beaumont
oil fields. While the tales of fortunes
quickly made are interesting, they are
really not half as valuable to our
readers as the following letter from
L. K. Preston, president tof the Cas-
well-Preston Drug Company of Beau
mont, one of the largest wholesale
and retail houses in Texas.
Mr.. Preston writes Enclosed you
will find a letter that came to us un-
solicited from J. c. Reeves, 10 Pearl
St. have known Mr., Reeves for
several years. He is a reliable man
and very happy over his fortune.
about four years ago." writes Mr..
Reeves, Il lost the hearing in my
right ear and about three or four
months ago my left ear became al
most as bad. In fact, I was so bad
that people had to shout to me to
make me hear. I had about given up
in despair all hopes of ever recover
ing my hearing when 1 saw that you
recommended Hyomei. I used two
bottles and can now hear my watch
tick with either ear, and my hearing
is now all right. This deafness must
have been caused from catarrh, for it
is now cured. Hyomei certainly
does what yon claim for it.
Hyomei has made many cures of
catarrh, and in combination with Hy-
omei balm, of catarrhal deafness in
Great Bend and nearby towns.
Hooper Drug Co. give their personal
guarantee to refund the money should
1t not give quick relief. The COM
plete Hyomei. outfit costs but one
dollar, while extra bottles can be
obtained for fifty cents.

Mrs. E. J. Bell, 213 Walworth

has gained over a pound a week
since she began taking Mio-na. Her
appetite is good and she enjoys her
food very much. Her face and limbs
are filling out, and she has a good
color. She has also regained her
spirits, while she used to be so
melancholy that 1 thought at times
she would lose her mind. For a
long while she was quite weak and
her nerves so shattered that she had
convulsions and could not sleep at
night. Now since taking Mi-o-na she
sleeps right drought the night until
morning and has gained greatly in
strength.
Few medicines have as many
friends in Great Bend as Mi-o-na.

The Police.

It seems 10 us that the Board OF Police
Commissioners have clearly established
tho fact that there is urgent need for an
addition TO the city police force, and the
subcommittee OF the Finance Committee
HIS accepted that view TO the extent OF
voting in favor of employing ten more
r1en.
AS the board has shown. the number OF
police available for service as beatsmch
is largely reduced by reason OF the num-
Der who are assigned to special duty.
r,cm such duty It would be impossible

night be relieved but other persons
