THAT'S THE VOICE OF LOVE.

When the rosy blush of morning
Tints the ebon night to gray,
And the song bird s first low whistle
Goes to meet the coming day.
When mystic, mellow laughter
Seems to float from wood and cove:
You are near the home of nature,
And that s the voice Of love.
When you re bending broken hearted
0 Ell lonely grassy mound,
And your pleading prayer unanswered
Sinks to trembling, hopeless sound,
And silent something whispers,
GIVE prepared way above"
You kneelng at God's gateway,
And that s the voice Of love-

ments.
The Administrative Department is at Wash
ington and Mr.. Morgan has there his First
Lieutenant, the President, and his orderly, the
Secretary of the Treasury.
This form Of government has existed for
many years.
The object of this government is to accumu-
late wealth and power for the captain, his
wants and friends
The captain is a captain of industry and
some more things.
He keeps a great treasury at Washington.
He keeps his books at Washington and his
money mostly at New York City, so it can t
get away
The captain and his friends have three i'm
mense sources of income which cost them
nothing.
And the laws of the country are so made as
to insure the collection and payment to him
and his friends
The captain creates vast debts in bonds
against his corporations which exist in the
atmosphere. And he sells those debts, beaut-
full bonds to ignorant people for large sums
of good money, then he has their money and
they have well-a cinch on the atmosphere.
The captain and his friends also issue large
numbers of insurance policies on the lives of
his people who are mortga9ed to him, for
which he collects large sums of money in trust
for them.
Then he swaps to the people his side line
bonds on the air for their good money His
people do not agree to that, because it is not
necessary, and there is no contention about the
deal. And no man has ever yet been known to
beat it, except few dead ones.
The captain s second great source of in
come is the creation of vast sums of indebted
ness by bonds against the earnings Of the
railroad systems for hundreds of times more
than their value
These bonds he sells to the mortgaged peo-
pie at fancy price for good money
The captain keeps the money, and they keep
the bonds.
The captain s third source of income is the
greatest, surest and safest income of all.
That is the net receipts Of his great treasury
at Washington which belongs to him and his
friends
Into this treasury is pouring the money of
ninety millions of people who have to pay it
to get leave of the captain to wear clothes and
get some sugar and coffee
AT times the captain thinks he has not got
all the money, and as soon he thinks that
he orders his lieutenant to order his ORDERLY
to look into the bag, and see if anything is
left.

Nervousness is often due to some
poison formed in the blood by the
decomposition of undigested food
in other words, often arises primar-
lily from indigestion.
Nervousness when due to this
cause may sometimes continue
through many years without causing
dangerous conditions On the other
hand, nervous disturbances due to
this auto-intoxication or self-poison-
ing may be Immediately fatal.
Many people, however, suffer from
nervous indigestion" as they call
It, for 20 years or more without
fatal termination. In these cases
there is. of course. a Gradual weak
ening of the general system which
predisposes to many diseases and
death is always premature, usually
being traceable to what is called
heart failure. Health Culture.

a white fox on the snow a great

vast plains of the desert they will
pick out objects invisible to the or
