THELITTLE BOY AND HIS DREAM.

The Little Boy smiled in his sleep that night.
As he wandered to Twilight Town:
And his face lit up with heavenly light
Through the shadows that drifted down:
But he woke next morning with tear-stained eve
In the light of the gray dawn's CLEAN.
And out from-the stiffness we heard him cry:
I've lost my dream-my dream!"
And he told Us then, in his childish way.
OF the wonderful dream he'd known:
He had wandered away from the land of play
To the distant Land of the Grown;
lie had won his share of the fame and fight
In the struggle and toll Of men;
And he sohbed and siged in the breaking light:
q want my dream again.
As the years passed by the Little Boy grew
Till he came TO the Land of the Grown;
And the dream of his early youth came true
The dream that he thought had flown;
Yet once again he smiled in his sleep
Smiled on till the gray dawn's CLEAN.
When those near by might have heard him weep:
81 want my dream-my dream"
For he dreamed Of the Yesterdays of Youth,
And the smile on mothers face;
hearth of oldtime faith and truth
In the light Of an old home place:
lie had won his share of the fame and fight
In the struggle and toll of men
LET he sobbed and sighed, in the breaking light:
I want my dream agan!"

Salisbury People With Weak Lungs Need
Vjn0i,

Many people inherit weak lungs
which are likely to be attacked by
consumption. So also are lungs
weakened by disease or by a stub
born hacking cough.
No matter what the cause, Vinol
Strengthens weak lungs and gives
one the power to throw off wasting
diseases.
The reason that Vinol has such
power to heal and strengthen is
because it contains in a highly
concentrated form all of the cura-
alive medicinal and strength
creating elements of cod liver oil,
actually taken from fresh Gods
~livers, with the useless, nauseat-
ing oil eliminated and tonic iron
added.
So sure are we of what Vinol
will do that we ask every person
in Salisbury suffering from weak
lungs, sstubborn hacking coughs
or any wasting disease to try
Vinol on our offer to return money
if it fails. The T. W. Grimes

Small Cannon.

Santa Monica, Cal, Feb. 12.-On
an unfrequented bluff which marks
the northern limit of Santa Monica
bay, a party of seven Japanese, with
a small cannon in their possession,
has been for several days past en-
gagged in experiments that have
aroused the suspicion of the settlers
in the homestead district and the
news of their operations reaching
here tonight has created considerable
excitement, particularly as it is
known that portion of the Ameri-
can battleship fleet will remain sew
eral days in tn ewaters enclosed by
Point Douma, where the party of
japanese made it's headquarters.
Jack U. Henry, capitalist of San
ia Monica, returned tonight from his
ranch in the Malibu country and
brought with him the first anthem
tic news concerning the intruderS.
From a Mexican, who came upon the
seven foreigners Unexpectedly, Mr..
Henry declares that he learned of
their having been engaged in MAX
ing maps of the cliffs along the cres-
cent-shaped bay. Their evident anx-
iety to escape observation. he said,
drew upon them the careful observa-
ton of several of the settlers, who
found them on one occasion in DOS
session of small pivot gun which,
mounted on a cliff 1S5 feet above the
water, was being fired, first in one
direction and then in another. The
japanese, unaware that they were be-
ing watched, seemed interested in de-
trimming the range of the little piece
of artillery which threw missiles over
mile from the shore. The gun was
operated with smokeless powder.

at Fulton, & suburb of Portland.
While Hepler was on his way to
work last night he was recognized
by Wetle, who thought it would be
SNARE to hold up the new recruit.
Wetle stepped behind clump of
bushes and as Hepner came along
stepped in front of him, and, point
ing his pipe at the policeman, order
ed Hands up.
Hepner did not recognize his
friend. nor did he take time to find
out that it was pipe instead of
a revolver which was threatening
him. He pulled his gun from his
pocket and shot Wetfe dead.
Hepner surrendered himself, but
was not arrested. Public sentiment
justifies Hepner in his actions, as
the city for several weeks has been
overrun with hold-up men and 9TH

Two nights ago at the same spot
where the shooting occurred a
