The Newsboy's New Year.

The NeWsboy's New Year.
In the bushes born of the early morn,
Or the settling dun of a fading day,
There is one who comes with his lips
pursed out
In the whistled bars of a roundelay.
He is just a boy, with a freckled nose
And a careless tilt to his faded cap.
And his trousers, too, may be torn and
patched
But the heart is glad in the little chap.
Through the rain or snow, or the sun
aglow,
He has left the news at your quick
command
In your busy life, you forget, mayhap.
That the boy needs smiles and a help
ing hand
For the freckled youth with lusty shout
Is a waif to-day on the Great Worlds
step
Or the epaulets that the Fates mete
out!
Greet his roundelay with a coin to-day
And a kindly word that shall light his
For the world needs MEN who are strong
and true,
And the great men spring from the
boyish race,
Give him glowing cheer, and a warm
brave hand,
And a smile that wells from your heart
I say
You may SOW the thought of the noblel
life
In the joy you give with your coin to-
day.

HERE GOES ANOTHER ILLUSION
"Fiddling Bob Declares He Has Not
Played for Many Years.

Another cherished Illusion has been
shattered. Senator Taylor of Tennes-
see, lovingly called throughout the
union Kidding Bob" doesn't play the
fiddle after all. He has entered a for
NAL denial. Pretty soon somebody will
be saying that Congressman Rich
mond Pearson Hobson of Merrimac
fame never kissed a pretty young
hero worshiper. Representative
Hughes Of New Jersey asked Senator
Taylor about his musical accomplish
ments.
Haven't played fiddle for dozen
years." said the Tennesseean. THAT
fiddIfng story is all wrong. / haven't
touched bow for years."
Maybe you play the violin, then?"
ventured Hughes.
"Oh, never even saw one of those
darned things" retorted the senator.

CATARRH MADE LIFE
A BURDEN TO NE.

MISS ANNIE CATRON, 927 Main
A'A ST., Cincinnati. Ohio, writes:
"As l have found Peruna a blessing
for a severe case Of catarrh of the head
and throat which l suffered from for a
number of years, am only too pleased
TO give it my personal endorsement.
'Catarrh, such as l suffered from,
made life burden to me, my breath
was offensive, stomach bad, and my
head stopped up so that was usually
troubled with a headache, and although
l tried many so-called remedies, moth
ing gave me permanent relief. l was
rather discouraged with all medicines
when Peruna was suggested to me.
However, l did buy bottle, and be-
fore that was finished there was a
marked change in my condition. Much
encouraged | kept on until was COM
piefeLy cured in months time, and 1
find that my general health is also ex-
cellent."
People who prefer solid medicines
should try Peruna tablets. Each tablet
represents one average dose of Peruna-

RATTLESNAKES' TEETH.
If You Should Happen to Get Any
Handle Them With Care.


The zoo keeper carefully unfolded a
small paper packet, which looked as if
it might contain a headache powder.
want a rattlesnakes tooth?" he in
quired.
'"Tooth?"
'NVell, call it fang if you want to,
but amt there something in the good
book about sharper than a serpents
tooth? Look at this one and you'll
think that the old fellow that wrote
that must have known what he was
talking about"
He opened the paper and showed
what seemed like miniature horn.
1t was shaped like cow horn, which
has only one curve. 1t was yellowish
white, like a discolored tooth.
1t was about three-quarters of an
inch long and sixteenth of an inch
in diameter at the base, where it
seemed as if it had been broken off.
The point was as sharp as a needle.
An eighth of an inch back Of the point.
on the outer curve of the tooth, was
an opening, the end of sort of tube.
which ran the whole length of the
tooth.
This little channel through the tooth
seemed to be full of dried substance,
which the ZOO keeper evidently regard
ed with proper suspicion, for he warn
ed the recipient Of the tooth to handle
the same with care He did not think
that one would get true case of snake
bite from one of these discarded teeth,
but if the skin should be scratched or
pierced by it bad sore would prob
ably result.
According to him, the keepers at the
zoo often pick up these loose teeth In
the snake cages. They are apparently
shed in the course of natural changes,
something as the serpent sheds his
skin. They are not merely the snakes
baby teeth, for he sheds them more
than Washington Post.

There is only one flag that the sun

exactly half the year, from March % to

OF course II is true that ON no day ut
all during the year can the sun be seen
from any two points of continental
United States ut all times during a
period Of twenty-four hours. But the
United States naval observatory has
made careful calculations which by in
cluding Alaska, Porto Rico and the
Philippines show that between the
spring and fall equinoxes the sun new
er ceases to shine in the eyes of the

Perhaps nothing could make us real
ize how great a nation our expanded
country is better than this simple as
Economical fact. Moreover, within
these two dates there are also several
other pairs of eastern and western ex-
treme points where the same condi-
tion obtains. though for much shorter
times.
1t is not generally known, but the
easternmost point in the United States
and its island possessions is in the is
land of Porto Rico-longitude 65 de-
grees II minutes west, latitude 1S de
