Rhapsody on a Dogs Intelligence.

Dear dog, that seems to stand and ggavely
brood
Upon the broad veranda of our home,
With soulful eyes that gaze into the gloam,
With speaking tail that registers thy mood,
Men say thou hast no ratioclnatlon
Methinks there is clever imitation.
Men say again thy kindred have no souls,
And sin is but an attribute OF man;
Say, is it chance alone that BIDS thee, then,
Choose only garden spots for digging holes
Why dost thou icb some fragment of the
cooking
At times when no one seemeth to be
looking?
Was there an early Adam of thy race,
And brindled Eve, the mother of thy
house.
Who shared some puroined chicken with
Thus causing all thy tribe to fall from
grace?
If fleas dwelt in the garden of that Adam
Perhaps thy sinless parents never had 'em
This morn thou cam'st aslinking through
the door,
Avoiding eyes, and some dark corner
sought,
And though no accusation filled our
Thy tail, apologetic, thumped the floor.
Who claims thou hast no conscience
argues vainly,
For have seen its symptoms very plainly.
What leads thee to forsake thy board and
bed
On days that are devoted to thy bath?
For, if it is not reason, yet II hath
Appearance of desire to plan ahead!
The sage who claims thy brain and soul
be wien
Would do quite we'll to swap thy head for
disn.

THE HOPEFUL SIDE OF COMMERCIAL
PROSPECTS.

| In some respects the situation in the
midsummer of 1908 is similar to that
of 1896. Then, as now, trade was stag
| nant. But the causes of the stagnation
are much less serious now than they
were then. AT that time the country
had not recovered from the effects Of
the panic of 1898, and that CONFUSION
was far more widespread and disas-
trous than was the setback of 1907. In
1896, as in 1908, politics was a disturb
ing element in the situation. AS all of
us remember, the disturbance came from
the same candidate who causes it this
year. The candidate, however, was far
more formidable than he seems to be
today. The cause for the alarm at that
time was real, and imminent, and the
business torpor registered the alarm.
There are three favorable factors at
present-crops, money and politics. The
general aggregate of the crops promises
to be greater than ever before. Money
is plentiful and low. The result of the
elections in 1896 and 1900 stands an ex-
cellent chance to be repeated in 1908.
While the country's population has
increased twenty-four per cent since
1896, the corn yield this year promises
to be twenty five per cent greater than
it was then, the wheat crop is forty per
cent larger than it was in that year,
and the cotton output is eighty per cent
greater than it was then, while the ag-
gregate value of all the farm products
in 1908, according to the forecast made
by the Secretary of Agriculture, will be
$4,000, 100000, which is 100 per cent more
than that of 1896.
In the same twelve years in which the
country's inhabitants increased twenty
four per cent its circulation has grown
100 per cent. The banks of New York,
Chicago, St. Louis and the rest of the
money centers seldom held more cash
than they do now.
In the fiscal year which ended with
June 3d. 1908, our sales of merchandise
to the outside world exceeded our pur-
chases to the extent Of 5000, 100000. 1t
is a fact OF profound significance, too,
that much of this increase in exports
was in manufactured articles. This
great trade balance, the largest which
has ever been accumulated in our favor
in single year, has equipped us with a
fund in Europe's financial centers which
we can draw on at any moment when
we need the money For the time being
we have more cash than we can put to
profitable use, and are lending it to any
country which pays the price. This is
the explanation of some of the recent
gold outgo.-James w. Van Cleave,
President National Association OF
Manufacturers, in American Indus
tries for August.

CAUSE and CURE
Of APPENDICITIS
THE SIMPLE REMEDY
THAT EFFECTS THE CURE

Professor Blanchard of the French Academy
OF Medicine has spent great amount of time
studying that dread disease-Appendicitis In
company with Professor Metchnikoff, he has
carefully examined numerous cases, and both
have reached the conclusion that the cure is not
the knife. In more than forty cases the symp-
toms of Appendicitis disappeared after the
patients h ad been treated for worms
There are, no doubt, many persons suffering
from worms who are enormously attributing
their trouble to some other cause. few doses
ofDr True's Elixir are sufficient in most cases
for the complete expulsion of the worms.
The presence of these parasites is easily recog.
nized by the following symptoms :-Indigestiou;
foul tongue; offensive breath variable appetite;
hard and full belly with occasional gripings and
pains about the navel; heavy dull eyes, itching
of the nose; short dry cough; grinding of the
teeth; starting during sleep; slow and frequent
fever; in children-convusion and bed wetting
DR.. True's Elixir will not only expel the
worms, but will build up the whole system as
well.
