Mr. Slade begged a thousand pardons

HER TRANSFORMATION.

She drank quantities Of water, ate a
lot of starchy food,
Abstained from exercising every
day;
She assimilated tactic and a case of
matted goods,
But it seemed her fate to have to
fade away.
She so mourned attenuation, with a
visage like an OWLS,
That smile upon her face was
never seen;
While below her mouth were wrinkles,
and above her eyes were scowls,
And her nose was like Ratchet in
between.
But one day she fell to laughing in a
strange, hysteric way,
Just in thinking how ridiculous it
proved;
And it mellowed to a cackle that was
sane enough, they say,
Till at last she giggled every time
she moved.
Why, she chuckled out her wrinkles,
and she snickered off her frowns,
And then took to all the things she
shouldn't do;
Now she's grown as fat as butter, and
has outgrown all her gowns;
But she laughs away at that disas-
ter, too.

SONG.

My heart goes singing down the ways,
Another heart to greet,
Across the world, across the days
And oh, the path is sweet!
'Tis hedged with joy on either side,
And starred with golden flowers,
Where wondrous fragrances abide
To scent the swift-winged hours.
And very far lies storm and stress
Where other wanderers fare
Love yields me only happiness,
And gai1y follows where
My heart goes singing down the ways,
Another heart to greet,
Across the world, across the days
And oh, the path is sweet!

He was seated in his tent one morn

the surgeon diagnosed the case from
their reports as well-night hopeless
one Still, anxious to show the skill
and friendliness of the American for
the Moro brother, he hastily made up
six powders, each containing one-sixth
of a grain of morphine and thirty
grains Of bismuth. These he gave to
the emissaries, telling them to give the
sultan one Of them in glass of boiled
water every three hours and to report
to him next morning how the patient
was getting along.

1t was through this interpreter that
the surgeon learned how his directions
had been followed. First, they had
given the entire six powders to the
sultan at one dose-a full grail OF
morphine and $50 grains of bismuth-
and then had poured tumblerful or
boiling water into him every three
hours afterward, scalding his mouth
and throat so that he could hardly
speak.

says the same treatment cured many

died under lesser doses.
