Dali Days Coming.

o gracious goodness. mussy mel
There's trouble In the air;
For writer's OF light poetry
The futures full OF care.
For what the dickens can the crowd
OF rhymesters write about
With Teddy gone 10 Africa
And Bryan down and out'
The world Is full Of solemn folks
That give us little chance
To perpetrate our rhyming jokes
And tuneful song and dance.
The Jingle that through Tara's halls
Once tangled S UP the spout
With Teddy gone to Africa
And Bryan down and out.
There'n be no nature takers now.
Nor moilycoddles fne.
To mix up in q rhy thn1ic row
Ahfifty cents line.
Thkfeu be no Tennis Cabinet,
No Labor meath the knout
With Teddy gone TO Africa
And Bryan down and out
Thcre'n be no now of natural gas
To speed the poets quill.
No, coinage free Of apple sass
Or jokes on Doctor Bill:
There'll be no daily messages,
Pcrfervid and devout
With Teddy gone TO Africa,
And Bryan down and out
Four years OF farming hard and lean
For poets lie ahead:
They'll have 10 eat their laurels green
II haply they'd be fed.
No wave OF golden times for them.
But days OF stress and doubt
With Teddy gone 10 Africa.
And Bryan down and out.

The second explosion occurred at
1920 o'clock last night, snuffing out
the lives of from forty to fifty res

The widest excitement prevailed
today at Hanna at the mine, where
hundreds of persons are congregated,
includings widows, children ad other
relatives of the victims. Men and
women are running about wringing
their hands and crying, while many
little children, separated from their
mothers, are sobbing with fear.

owing to the increasing volume of
gas which threatened to explode at
any moment, no effort was made to
remove them to the surface.
Fire started in the colliery last
Sunday. Since that time attempts at
regular intervals have been made to
extinguish the blaze. Saturday it
was deemed unsafe to send the min

During L. T. Cooper's recent stay
in Boston, it is estimated that sixty
five thousand people talked with him
and purchased his medicine. This
is an average of over two thousand a
day.
His success was so phenomenal as
to cause universal comment both by
the public and the press. Here Is the
reason given in his own words by Mr..
Cooper when interviewed ION the sub
ject. He said:
The immense numbers of people
who are calling on me here in Boston
Is not unusual I have had the same
experience for the past two years
wherever ] have gone. The reason is
a simple one 1t is because my medi-
cine puts the stomach in good condi-
ton. This does not sound unusual
but it is in fact the key to health.
The stomach is the very foundation
Of life ] attribute 80 per cent of
all sickness directly TO the stomach.
Neither animals nor men can re-
main well with a poor digestive ap-
paratus. Few can he sick with a di-
gestion in perfect condition. AS a
matter Of fact, most men and women
today are half sick. 1t is because
too much food and too little exercise
have gradually forced the stomach
into a half sick conditions. MY medi-
cine gets the stomach back to where
it was, and that is all that is neces-
sary"
Among Boston people who are
staunch believers in Mr.. Cooper's
theory, is Mr. Frank ID. Brown, OF 81

great good could be accomplished by
every member being active. He high
ly complinented those who had en-
deayored since the formation of the
society to remedy conditions existing
here, and the good they had accom-
plished
An excellent musical program was
rendered during the course Of the

length with matters which had been
fAccomrpli thed, and what should be
done in the future, especially regard
ing reports to the society or police
