proposition from Illinois. congress

Do You Remember7

Do you remember. little wife,
How years ago we two togett er
Saw naught but love illumine lie
In sunny days or winter weather?
Do you remember how We two
Would stare into each others eyes,
Till all the earth grew heavenly blue.
And speech was lost In happy sighs?
Do you another thing recall.
That used to happen often then;
How. simply passing in the hall.
We'd stop to smile and kiss againf
Do you remember how l sat
And. reading. held your hand in mine.
Caressing 1t with gentle pat
One pat for every blessed line?
Do you recall while al the play
Through hours of agony we tarried?
The lovers griefs brought us dsmay;
oh. We rejoiced when they were mar
ried.
All. me. twas years and years ago
When all this happened that l sing.
And many time the winter snow
Has slipped from olive slopes of spring
And now-oh. nonsense: let us tell;
a fig for laugh of maids or men:
Youll hide your bushes? I'll not. Well
We're ten times worse than we were

Short-Siqhted Landlords,

For some reason wi ich probably
never will be fathomed. landlords will
spend both time and money recklessly
for new tenants and leave the stead
going, prompt-paying and easy.going
old ones to look out for themselves.
Scores of times I have known them
20 refuse the smallest request of the
best of tenants and put the place in
perfect condition for untried new ones.
That is an exasp .rating feature of
hired homes, and is common cause
of driving families to change. | i'm
agine. We all like fresh paint and
paper. as we like our carpents cleaned
and our furniture polished. and the
landlord is expected to feel sufficient
interest in his property to desire to
keep it in first class condition.-Min-

Stomach Nerves Controlled by Those
Of the Ear, Says Veteran Surgeon.
Strange thing, but do you know
that deaf persons never can get sea-
sick" said an old surgeon in the en-
p1oy of one of the transatlantic lines
recently. This was found out" he
said. when a whole class of deaf
mutes went abroad some years ago
and despite q particularly rough pass
age none Of them wanted to lie on
the deck and beg somebody to heave
them overheard.
That's the seasick feeling. you
know. A little investigation proved
that the stomach nerves are mostly
controlled by those of the ear and
that deaf persons are not nearly so
liable to the nausea that comes from
the rolling motion of a ship as are
others.
THE experiment of saturating a
ball of cotton with cocaine and thus
dulling the hearing has been tried by
ship surgeons since. 1t gives relief
to those who dread any sort of a sea
voyage. but, after all. the best way
to do is to feed the fishes and get
over It,"
