some special instructions to the nurse in waiting, and passed on.
 Before night fell James Lusk was rav- ing in delirium. Now he was living over again the duel on La Guasima's field Now he mumbled words of endearment to his Evelyn, the girl whom he loved and believed he had lost perhaps for ever. Toward morning he began reciting snatches of verse-sometimes incoherent- ly sometimes sinking his voice to the merest whisper, and smiling fondly into the face that dwelt in his fevered imag- ination.
 It was nearing day when Nurse Evelyn Sinclair in the adjoining tent. caught the tones of a fever-strained voice repeating some lines that brought sudden flush to her pale face and an involuntary tightening about her heart-strings; and then when all doubt of the reality of what she heard had passed away, it caused her to drop the spoonful of med icne she was in the act of conveying to A wounded soldier and sent her flying through the door of her tent and Into that whence the voice came to her. It was James Lusk repeating in his delirium those lines he had written, years before LID on the occasion of Evelyn Sinclair s reading to him Keats exquisite poem upon the Grecian Urn.
 O Evelyn! it was not Keats
 Wherein the beauty lay:
 The Grecian Urn would not return Such loveliness today
 Without thy voice in music low To breathe so soft and sweet
 Into my listening ear those tones That thou must oft repeat.
 Thy voice was deep in passions dream I. held captive there,
 My muse did not fold me in her arms Muse of Beauty rare.-
 And pressed my burning lips to hers, A sea of finite pain
 That memory will live always Oh, come to me again!
 Oh, let me lay my throbbing heart So close to thine. my Muse!
 And still the longing of my soul die If thou refuse!

INSOMNIA AND
 NERVOUSNESS
Charles B. James, The Eminent Scien- tist. Makes Wonderful
 Discovery.
TT COSTS YOU NOTHING.

Charles B. James, the eminent scien- tist, whose reputation is International, has made wonderful discovery. Words cannot describe the happiness it will bring to those unfortunates, who during the night toss, twist and turn in their beds, and have restless, sleepless nights, for insomnia is sapping them or thelr vitality and wreching tn cir nervous system, for even if they dose off, it Is only for short period of rest less sleep and then they arise in the morning more worn than when they retired, until at last the bed seems to them hideous place of torture.
 This scientific discovery costs you nothing, and it changes restless night into restful, health giving slumber. Through scientific researches, James has perfected a harmless compound Of celery, hops and lettuce which brings about the desired results. for they are scientifically blended-no narcotics therefore create no habit. and are abso- Iutely harmless. The after effects, in- stead of being harmful, are beneficial to the entire system; for 1t produces energy vigor and force. While 1t calms it also tones the nervous sys- tenn, and it Is surprising how quickly 1t produces restful, soothing, refresh
 James, In his generosity and wish to place this wonderful compound of his in the hands of all suffering from in- somnia and nervousness, will imme- diately, upon your request, send you bottle absolutely free. James stands at the head of the James Sanatorium of Memphis, Tenn, the greatest Sanator- fum of its kind in the world, and his reputation for the curing of the Drug and Drink habit is second to none. He thinks so highly of this particular dis coyery of his that he has given 1t his own name, calling 1t James Mixture for Nervousness and InsOmnfa," and those who know the high standing of Charles R. James. and the pride he takes in his scientific discoveries. know that any remedy that he stands sponsor for, and permits to bear his name. must be all 1t claims.
 In his Sanatorium, James discovered that thousands of cases of drunkenness and the drug habit owed their origin known theory that nervousness causes sleeplessness, indigestion, constipation, headaches, stomach troubles, and loss of appettte. He hopes, through this com pound to keep thousands from the drug and drink habit who otherwise would become addicts, besides effectively dis nefling nervousness and insomnia, for many who otherwise would not only have a wrecked constitution, but a shat cred mind as well.
 You need not suffer another day-no further need to be nervous, and no cause to have nights of terrible torture and days of nervousness and what is termed as the "blues." For relief is in sight. All that is necessary is to send your name and address in confidence to Charles B. James James Sanatorium, fa3 Poplar avenue, Dept. MIN, Mem phis, Tenn, and you will receive, with out cost or delay, this wonderful com pound.

EDUCATE PUBLIC OPINION.
Davis Says This Is the Solution of
 Municipal Problems.


 That the solution of municipal problems depends upon the individual citizen, or an educated public opinion, was the key note of an address recently delivered by Dwight F. Davis, member Of the execu- tive cornmitte of the National League MT. Davis spoke before the Round Ta- ble conference in St Louis In part he said:
 We are tending more and more tow ard the principles of pure democracy, by which the people themselves exercise a large measure of political power. Many Of the checks devised by the fathers of the Constitution upon the exercise of this power have been practically nullified in actual practice. The electorial college has long since failed to accomplish the pur- pose for which 1t was created, and the in- creasing number of states which elect United States senators by direct prima- ny election Is another illustration of this modern tendency.
 ''The people are demanding an ever increasing share in the powers of the government and nsomuch are taking away power from their elected repre- sentatives. This tendency also is in accordance with broad underlying principle which must be kept constantly in mind in discussing problems of munich pal government-that without an aggres- sive popular interest no scheme of or ganization will long achieve success
 Our theory of universal suffrage brings the whole question back to the indi- vidual citizen. Committees and reform organizations may succeed occasionally in having good tickets, nominated and elect ed, but there never will be permanent good government, either in city or state, here and elsewhere, until the electorate at large demand 1t.
 Reforms in methods of nomination and election, changes in the forms of organization, are sometimes of the great est importance In the efforts to obtain good government, but all these reforms will

fail inevitably If an awakened public opin- ion is not behind them,

fail inevitably If an awakened public opin- ion is not behind them.
 How to obtain this educated and ag- solution of which we are now groping. New York, Boston, Philadelphia, Cleve- land, Cincinnati and other large cities are experimenting by means of city clubs, municipal voters leagues, and leagues for political education, and are beginning to show results.
 Public opinion gradually is awakening in the cities and the outlook Is more promising than In recent years for a renaissance of civic patriotism Before success can be achieved, however many hard battles must be fought, for public opinion is indefinite, unorganized and easily misled while the politicians are fighting behind bulwaTks of years of power, are well organized. experienced, and in many cases are supported secretly by those are seemingly most earnest for the public welfare.
 Let me bring this subject little closer home to all of us. Instead of Illuminating against the corrupt politician, instead of hurling conversational broadsides against the indifferent electorate, let each of us in the solitude of his own thoughts take stock of himself and answer can- didly, critically and fairly the question. Am I a good citizen? Am I doing my part in correcting the evils in our city government? And if our political ac- tivity is confined to the casting of ballot once every two years for man whose very name is unknown to us, let us not answer self-satisfiedly in the af- firmative.
 "The grating politician is not the real cause of the corruption in our munich pal government; he is simply the result of conditions produced by the indiffer- ence and neglect of the individual citizen. And realizing this. we see that the peo- pie are at once the salvation and the danger of a democracy; to the people. and to them alone, must we look for solution of the problems of the municipal government"
