Do you ever long, asks a writer In
a New York newspaper, to cut loose
from the modern c0nventionalities and
get back to nature as we used to hear
it in the circus and Barnum's museum?
OF course! 1t is human nature to want
to get back to nature. Do you remem-
Der this?

He was born in the Desert Of Sary
Ann, and feeds on bamboo and mission

er leaves home unless he moves, In
which case he goes somewhere else, I'M
less he is overtaken by the dark. He
was brought to this country against his
will, which accounts for his low spirits
when he's melancholy or detected. He
is now somewhat old and feeble, but

Babies as Bait.

''Wot do We Think said the sailor,
"of usin' live babies for bait? We done
it in Ceylon."
Babies for bait? Fishing for shark 2"
"No; crocodile. Baby bait is the
only thing for crocodile, and everybody
uses it. Ye rent a baby down there
for half dollar day.
"Of course" the sailor went on, 1.-THE
thing amt as cruel as. it sounds. No
harm ever comes to the babies, or else,
o. course, their mothers wouldn't rent
'em. The kids is simply sot on the
soft mud bank of a crocodile stream,
and the hunter lays hid near them, a
sure protection.
"The crocodile is lazy. He basks in
the sun in midstream. NOthin' will
draw him in to shore, where We can pot
him. But set a little fat naked baby
on the bank, and the crocodile soon
rouses up. In he comes, a greedy look
in his dull eyes, and then We open fire.
II have got as many as four croco-
dies with one baby in mornin's fish

much as So week regular out O. rent

A Hnmesick Pioneer.

In wonder the people Of to-day read
Of the persistent cheerfulness with
which the pioneers went about the busl-
ness Of settling the great West. Never
theless, it somehow gratifies the weak
ness Of human nature to know there
was now and then a wearer OF the
deerskin leggings and cOonskin cap who
grumbled.
One early settler who went from
snug New England village to the fever
haunted prairies along the Missouri
was moved to put his complaints Into
rhymes, one of which has survived, and
is now carefully preserved by the de-
scendants Of the early settler, who are
surrounded by the peaceful prosperity
and comfort of a Missouri farm-right
in the heart Of the mathematical prai'
RE.
Oh! lonesome, windy, grassy place,
Where buffalo and snake prevail;
The first with dreadful looking face,
I'd rather live on camel-hump,
And be a Yankee Doodle beggar,
Than where never see a stump,
And shake to death with fever'n ager.
Judging from the last line, one might
conclude that an acute attack Of lager
had suddenly prevented him from con-
timing

There Is more Catarrh in this section Of
the country than all other diseases put to-
gether, and until the last few years was sup
posed to be incurable. For a great many
years doctors pronounced it local disease
and prescribed local remedies, and by con-
stantly failing to cure with local treatment,
pronounced it incurable Science has proven
catarrh to be a constitutional disease and
therefore requires constitutional treatment.
Halls Catarrh Cure, manufa ctured by f. j.
Cheney & Co., Toledo, Ohio, is the only con-
stitutional cure on the market. 1t is taken
internally in doses from 10 drops to tea
spoonful. 1t acts directly on the blood and

cure. Send for circulars and testimonials.

No other medicine has been so
successful In relieving the suffering
of women or received so many gen.
uine testimonials as has lydia e.
Pinkham'sV Vegetable Compound.
In every community you will find
women who have been restored to
health by Lydia E. Pinkham's Veg
etable Compound. Almost every
one you meet has either been bene-
flied by it, or has friends who have.
In the Pinkham Laboratory at
Lynn, Mass, anywomanany daymay
see the files containing over one mil
lion one hundred thousand letters
from women seeking health, and
here are the letters in which they
openly state over their own sigma
lures that they were cured by Lydia
u. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound.
Lydia e. Pinkham'S Vegetable
Compound has saved many women
from surgical operations.
Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable
Compound is made from roots and
herbs, without drugs, and is whole
some and harmless.
The reason why Lydia E. Pink
hams Vegetable Compound is so
successful is because it contains in
gradients which act directly upon
the feminine organism, restoring it
to a healthy normal condition.
Women who are suffering from
those distressing ills peculiar to their
sex should not lose sight of these
facts or doubt the ability of Lydia
e. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound
to restore their health.

How Her Life Was Saved When Bit
ten by a Large Snake.


How few people there are who are
not afraid of snakes. Not long ago
a harmless little garter snake fell on
the wheel of an automobile which was
being driven by a woman The woman
promptly tainted and the car, left to
its own resources, ran into a stone
wall and caused serious accident.
The bite of poisonous snake needs
prompt attention. Mrs. X. M. Fishel.
Route No. /, Box 40, Dillsburg, Pa,
tells how she saved her life when bit
ten by large snake.
"On August 20, 1906, was bitten
on the hand twice by large copper
head snake. Being a distance from
any medical aid, as a last resort |
used Sloan's Liniment, and to my as
constituent found it killed all pain
and was the means of saving my life
I am the mother Of four children and
am never without your Liniment."

Old FavOrites
OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES
The Holy City.


The Holy City.
Last night l lay a sleeping,
There came a dream so fair;
l stood in old Jerusalem,
Beside the temple there;
l heard the children singing
And ever as they sang,
Methought the voice of Angels
From Heav'n in answer rang:
Jerusalem! Jerusalem!
Lift up your gates and sing,
Hosanna in the highest,
Hosanna to your King J"
And then methought my dream was
changed,
The streets no longer rang,
flushed were the glad Hosannas
The little children sang;
The sun grew dark with mystery,
The morn was cold and chill,
As the shadow of a cross arose
Upon a lonely hill.
Jerusalem! Jerusalem!
Hark how the angels sing,
Hosanna in the highest,
Hosanna to your King J!
And once again the scene was changed,
New earth there seemed to be,
1 saw the Holy City
Beside the tideless sea,
The light of God was on its streets,
The gates were open wide.
And all who would might enter,
And no one was denied;
No need of moon or stars by night,
Or sun to shine by day,
1t was the new Jerusalem
That would not pass away.
Jerusalem! Jerusalem!
Sing for the night is Ger,
Hosanna in the highest,
Hosanna for evermore y

CHORUS.
I'm lonely since my mother died,
Though friends and kindred gather
near;
I cannot check the rising sigh,
Or stay the silent, heartfelt tear.
You may not deem it brave or strong
To let these tears so often flow;
But those who've lost mothers love
Can tell the tale of my sad woe.
Could l but call her back again,
And kneel once more down by her side,
I'd love her better than before;
I'm lonely since my mother died.
Oh, you who have mother dear,
Let not a word give pain,
But cherish, love her with your life,
You meier can have her like again.
Then, when she's called from you away,
Across deaths dark and troubled tide,
In pain with me you need not say
I'm lonely since my mother died.

What Socialists Want.

These are the conditions the Social
lists are seeking to bring about:
The ownership by the people,
through the government, of every rail-
road, mill, mine and factory where
men, women and children work for
wages.
The payment to each worker, and
there would be no children wage work
ers under Socialism, of sum equiva-
lent to the full value of his product,
less the workers proportion of the
cost of carrying on the government,
which would include depreciation of
the tools used.
The management of all industry by
the people, by direct vote, to enact
laws themselves, without the aid of
congress- to enable the people, by
direct vote, to veto or repeal bills
passed or laws enacted by congress ;
to enable the people, by direct vote,
to expel from office, at any time, any
official who should vote against the
wishes of his constituents.
