A Memorial Day Memory.

The sentry challenged at the open sate
Who passed him by, because the hour was
late:
Halt! Who goes there?" "A friend
"All's WE'LL
"A friend, old mate" A friends fare
well,
And had passed the gate;
And then the long last notes were shed,
And shrilly clarion's echoes dead;
And sounded sadly as / stood without
Those last sad notes of all: Lights out"
Lights out"
Farewell. companions. We have side by
side
Watched the hist'ry's heightened shadows
past us glide,
And worn the blue, and laughed at pain,
And many year has died.
And toll and hardship have we borne,
And followed where the flag has gone
But all the echoes answering round about
Have hidden you to sleep: Lights out"
Lights OUT
And never more for me the bay'net's
The trumpet's summons. Oh, the crum-
bling ash
OF life is hopes fruition; fall
The withered friendships, and they all
Are sleeping Day by day
The fabrics Of our lives decay,
And change unseen, and melt away
Aye, perish like the accents of a call,
Like martial warnings from Lies grim
redoubt;
Like those last notes Of all: Lights out"
Lights out"

LEGEND OF THE OSTRICH.
Dwells In Solitude as Punishment for
Presumption.

Among the Arabs there is a curious
legend to account for the ostrich's
residence in the desert. ION a certain
day appointed" SO the story goes,
"all created beings met together to
decide upon their respective order
and precedence. All went smoothly
until the ostrich, pleading it's inability
to fly, disowned the birds and claimed
to take rank with the mammals.
These, however, would have moth
ing to say to a creature clothed not
with fur. but with feathers, while the
birds, when the ostrich went detected
ly back. repudiated it also as traitor
to its race. But the ostrich was equal
to the occasion and declared that being
neither mammal or bird it must be an
angel.
AT this all the other animals indlg.
nantly rushed upon the ostrich and
drove it before them into the desert,
where it has lived in solitude ever
since, with no one to contradict it."

Messenger Boys Speed Resulted II
Spectacular Tumble.

spectacular OU1ptCs
A district messenger boy emerged
from a big office building on Nassau
street and to the amazement of pass
ersby, began to run. He had not gone
far when his foot caught in some OBJ
struction and he fell. 1t was not the
ordinary fall. 1t was a picturesque,
acrobatic performance. He landed on
his stomach with hands and legs out
stretched.
1t had just stopped raining and the
asphalt was slippery. In addition,
there is quite down grade at Cedar
street, where the sudden drop of mer-
curry took place. So when he struck
the roadway he kept on going tobog-
gan fashion, for foot or two, his
hands and feet being used as brakes.
When the Roadway finally was
checked, the messenger boy arose,
slowly and sadly. His once natty
blue uniform was a finished study
black from collar to the ends OF his
trousers. There was some bark of
his hands and cash in one knee OF
his trousers seemed to open it's dumb
mouth to protest against such treat
ment.

Lesson Of Memorial Day.

1t is well that on one day in the
year the high example of the Union
soldier should be held up before our
people. Love of country consists in
service rather than in profession.
Public good must ever be preferred
to private good. And surely when so
many Americans were willing to give
all that they had for the country, we of
to-day ought at least to be willing to
forego mere personal advantage when
1t can only be won at the expense of
the land which we all love. This is
the lesson of Memorial day, and it IL
orc that we greatly need to leayn.

How often do we hear women say: at
seems as though my back would break, -"
or Don't speak to me, am all out of
sorts?" These significant remarks prove
that the system requires attention.
Backache and "the blues" are direct
symptoms of an inward trouble which
will sooner or later declare itself. 1t
may be caused by diseased kidneys or
some uterine arrangement. Nature
requires assistance and at once, and
Lydia e. Pinkham's Vegetable Com
pound instantly asserts its curative
powers in all those peculiar ailments OF
women. 1t has been the standby OF
intelligent American women for twenty
years, and the ablest specialists agree
that it is the most universally success
full remedy for woman's ills known to
medicine.
The following letters from Mrs.
Holmes and Mrs. Cotrely are among
the many thousands which Mrs. Pink
ham has received this year from those
whom she has relieved.
Surely such testimony is convincing.
Mrs. JIG. Holmes, of Larimore, North
Dakota, writes:
Dear Mrs Pinkham:--
- have suffered everything with backache
and womb trouble let the trouble run on
until my system was in such condition that
was unable to be about, and then it was
commenced to use Lydia T.. Pinkhams Vege-
table Compound. If had only known how
much suffering would have saved, should
have taken it months sooner-for a few
weeks treatment made me well and strong.
My backaches and headaches are all gone and
i suffer no pain at my menstrual periods

Vegetable Compound suffered intense pain. '
