THE RESERVE.
BY MARION coCTHoUY SMITH.


With steady tramp. with close-locked lip
/ bear inert the silent gun.
See how the standards rise and dip.
There-where the scattering vapors run
Who calls? Who passes? Who complains
VINO gives the challenge and reply!
Ny heart is tugging at its chains.
And pleading to the smoke-dimmed sky
Noon dies-nor finds the fighting. done:
Still shrek the guns beyond the hill;
We know not if the day be won,
We trust the word that ho:ds us still.
Bravest when we at last despair.
Of summons swift by bugle-call-
All. praise US. comrades. for we bear .
A strain tina. makes your struggle small!
o glorious ranks that break and charge.
= That feel the fierce unchecked desire
The hope that stings-the Impulse large
That sourns; the force of steel and fire!
With what high: hearts YOU play your fate
Meet seattle or death. and cheering fail!
Take We Godspeed from us who wait.
Mute guards beneath the ha-rack wall!
Youths Companion.

Successful Gridiron Season.

!. South Carolina ended up: her foot
ball season very creditabiy. The sup.
porters of the garnet and black are
all very well satisfied with the result
Of the seasons work. 1t is true that
the eleven lost one or two games,
but when one compares the weight
and experience of those teams to the
Carolina team it is marvellous that
Carolina held them down to the final
scores. V. P. l. only won by a score
Of "a to 0, and though this might
seem a rather large score, still 1t will
compare favorably to the scores Of
other teams that V. P. l. played. (
The team had it's usual slump near
the last of the season and came very
near losing a game by poor playing,

A Football Dilemma.

The village football e.even was
about to begin in the great match OF
the season with a rival team. Just
before the game was timed to begin.
the captain Of the home team appeared
with a worried look and dejectedly
counted the spectators. They consist
ed of two farmer boys, a militiaman'
anH the local chimney-sweep. He
counted them over twice, but failed
to make any more of them. AS both
teams took the Geld the home captain
exclaimed: ..... ......
There won't be no match to-day.
We scratch"
"Wot are you talkin' about?" said
the opposition captain. You can't
scratch now!'
"We've got ter" replied the home
captain, dolefully; I'VE amt took
enough gate money to get the ball out

instantly killed. His name was

Increase the Cost OF Living.

The proposition favored by the al
legged reformers who have so viciously
attacked the proprietary medicine bus
mess is that all family medicines shall
! be put under the ban Of the law, and
that no medicine shall be taken except
on the prescription and that no one
save a physician possessing certain
qualifications as to diploma, etc, shall
prescribe. ::zx
1t is easy to see where this would
affect the manufacturer, but the ef-
feet there would be Insignificant as
compared with the increase it would
make in the cost Of living of a large
number Of people. .... .,s.-.
Nearly. ffty-three per cent. OF the
families recorded in the last Federal
census lived outside Of incorporated
towns. They rely on home rene
dies, to =. an extent known only to
those who, are. actually residing in
rural districts or who have lived out
side Of the towns. To do away with
patent" medicines would be to the
rural fifty-three per cent. not only a
hardship, but would actually endanger
health.
The rural ffty-three per cent. are
not the only ones to be affected, how
ever. Of. the 15,964.O00 families
recorded in the last census thirty
three per cent. had annual incomes OF
$4O0 or less. The average number of
persons to family wcs five, so that
third of the families had incomes
of $50, or less, per Individual, per
year. 7r@: ~ .-~ :: : Z.
To compel every one to throw away
their home remedies and employ 4
physician for each ailment of every
member of the family would be adding
expense unnecessarily and increasing
the difficulties that surround the prob
lens of life.
Only twenty per cent. Of the 1854
600 families in the United States had
incomes of more than $1,000 annually
for an average of five persons, only
five per cent. had incomes Of over
$4,000 per family. At 4 conservative
estimate ninety-fve per cent. OF the
people have patent" medicines handy,
for instant use when needed. -:
This ninety-fve per cent. could. II
it desired, discard patent" medicines
without passage of laws and would
do 80 but for one reason. That is that
patent" medicines are well known to
them as reliabie remedies, which no
household could be without and which
have cured the ailments Of three gen
erations of American people.
