her trinkets-those who, but a few
hours before, had worshiped her.
With ruthless hands they stripped her
and she WAS dragged ont through the
open door. Even the dog barked at
her in derisIOn. Not one of the hu-
man throng came near or pitied her.
No one cared. Christmas had gone
and with it the glory OF The Christmas
Tree.
But two little robins, who, from the
windows ledge. had watched the
mournful sight. flew out to the ash
heap where she lay upon her side, de.
nuded. discarded, her life ebbing slow
ly away.
And the sympathetic wind, grown
more solemn with the sad scene, ut
tered in unison his mournlul chord,
rs they sang:
go nature, behold thy handiwork,
So simple, so sweet To look upon.
How he has torn it asunder!
She was young, she was fair when the
woodman came,
She sighed for another life than hers
And now her sin has found her out.
Forgive, forgive this erring sister,
She knew not what she did.
Her lot was a simple lot and she lOnged
Cd for the glory of the world.
She did not know that all was vanity.
Peace be to her. Let her rest.
Behold the glory of the world has gone!

d whether his friend Jones was
employed on Il library or building an
automobile. So much for Holman.
Now listen to Socialist E. H. Hol-
man, OF Portland, talk. In harangue
in the city on the banks of the beauti-
full Willamette, recently, he said:
"The working people build all the
houses, but where do they live? They
build all the libraries, but when they
come home at night after hard days
labor they do not have the time or
strength to read or study. They build
all the automobiles, but the only sport
they get out of them is the chance to
dodge one as it comes down the street
at break neck speed"
An old woman, on entering a Great
Northern train at Spokane, asked how
far it was to Everett. Every time the
conductor or any of tho train crew
passed, she would ask how far it was
to Everett. Finally the conductor
told her he would notify her when
they reached Everett, but when they

it was night. She had fallen asleep
and the conductor forgot her. When
they had passed Everett about mile
the conductor was passing through the
Car looking up tickets. He aroused
her and asked her for her ticket. She,
a. usual, asked how fur it was to
Everett. Why, we are n mile this
side OF Everett" replied the conductor.
He reached up, and taking hold OF the
wire, signaled the engineer TO stop and
back the train into Everett. He then
ran back to the rear part of the train
to see that things went on we'll. When
he reached Everett he stepped in the
car and told her now was the time to
get off. "Why." replied the old wo.
man, az didn't want to get off-tbe

d. Soils Cohen, OF Portland, spoke
at the Peoples Forum in that city re-.
Gently, taking for his subject eco
nomic Conditions" In the course OF
his address he said:
"There is but one aristocracy in this
country and that is the American. To
cherish Americanism there is need OF
caution and care in our public schools.
in our churches, in our public offices,
and in our Army and Navy. We must
take care to weed out all cases of snob.
berry. You can not make good citizens
from snobs. When our churches are
closed to the laborer and the poor wo-
man in a shabby dress cannot sit by the
side OF the woman in silks and satins,
then there is need OF care in the church.
What is the strength of the Catholic
church to-day? 1t is the fact that its
doors are always open-that the man in
overalls is as welcome as the man in
broadcloth. Our American Senate will
also bear watching. for the Senate Of
Webster and Clay has become the Sen
ate of Depew and Platt."
Yes, indeed, until churches recog'
nize on an equality both the man in
overalls and the man in broadcloth
in the houses of worship, there will be
more sinners than converts. For even
the sinner knows when he is not want.

flADE FROrl NATIVE ROOTS
SAFE AND RELIABLE.

That the roots of many native plants
growing wild in our American forests,
possess remarkable properties for the cure
of human maladies is well proven. Even
the untutOred Indian had learned the
curative value of some of these and
taught the early settlers their 4ees. The
Indian never liked work SD he wanted his
SQuaw to get wsll as soon as possible that
she might do the work and let him hunt.
Therefore, he dug "papOOSc root for her,
for that was their great remedy for fe
Ealc weaknesses. DR.. Pierce uses the

Many afflicted women have been saved
from the operating table and the sur

Pierco's Favorite Prescription. Tender

are very harmful, especially to delicate
