LOVE TRIUMPHANT.

BY Frederick Lawrence Knowles.
Helen's lips are drifting dust,
lion is consumed with rust;
All the galleons of Greece
Drink the oceans dreamless peace;'
Lost was Solomon's purple show
Restless centuries ago;
Stately empires wax and wane-
Babylon. Barbary and Spain
Only one thing undefaced, q
Lasts, though all the worlds lie waste
And the heavens are overturned:
Dear, how long ago we learnedI
There's a sight that blinds the sun,
Sound that lives when sounds are done
Music that rebukes the birds.
Language lovelier than words,
Hue and scent that shame the rose,
Wine no earthly vineyard knows,
Silence stiller than the shore
Swept by Charons stealthys oar,
Ocean more divinely free
Than Pacifics boundless sea-
Ye who love have learned 1t true;
Dear, how long ago we knew!

fall back on ourselves.
SPRING IN TOWN.
songbirds sing their roundelays.
Welcoming the happy days.
Clouds go floating cross the blue.
All the world looks good to you.
Maidens ponder what to wear,
Peek-a-boos are in the air.
Sodawater's in demand,
JOY is flying DER the land,
People little gardens plant,
Very sorry that they can't
Live upon a tiny farm,
Since it offers so much charm.
Fans discuss the coming games,
Lovers think of tender names
For the girlies they adore,
AS they've always done before.
Colds begin to disappear,
Poets strike note of cheer.
Merchants advertise straw hats,
Windows open in the fats.
Quite a change you will remark
In the color of the park.
Lots of violets are seen
At the florists shop, I ween.
Many lay aside their vests,
Mother goes on bargain quests.
Father dear is seen to drink
Old Budweiser, with a wink.
What a pleasant time is spring
In a city-hark we sing
OF the simple joys we know,
Far from where the roses blow
The Louisville Courier-Journa1 speaks
of another move in a little game" It
sounds like checkers, but we suppose 1t
is poker.

THE OFFICE HOLDER.
Upon the stump he tells the crowd
He longs to do them good.
He'd labor all his life for them
Most gladly, so he would.
But when at last he gets a job
He doesn't go to work
Instead, he lays his duties on
A hungry-looking clerk.
His secretary writes the speech
BY which he wins applause
A corporation often shapes
His notion of the laws
lie doesn't do thing, nor does
He ever earn cent,
And yet, you'd think it very hard
To be so prominent.

the diseased portion of the ear. There is only
one way to cure deafness, and that Is by
constitutional remedies. Deafness is caused
by an infinmed condition of the mucous
lining Of the Eustachian Tube. When this
tube is inflamed you have n rumbling sound
or imperfect hearing and when 1t is entirely
closed. Deafness is the result, and unless the
inflammation can be taken out and this tube
restored to its normal condition, hearing

ten are caused by catarrh, which is nothing
but an infiamed condition Of the mucous
