Opportunity.

They do me wrong who say I come no
more
When once 1 knock and fail to find you
in,
For every dey I stand outside your door
And bid you wake and rise to fight and
win.
Weep not for precious chances passed
away.
Weep not for golden ages on the wane
Each night burn the records of the day.
At sunrise every soul is born again.
Laugh like boy at splendors that have
To vanished joys be blind and deaf and
dumb.
My judgments seal the dead past with its
dead,
But never bind moment yet to come
Though deep in mire, wiring not your
hands and weep
I lend my arm to all who say ''I cam
No shamefaced outcast ever sank so deep
But yet might rise and be again man.
Dost thou behold thy lost youth all
aghast?
Dost reel from righteous retribution's
blow?
Then turn from blotted archives of the
past
And find the futures pages white as
snow.
Art thou a mourner? Rouse thee from
thy spell.
Art thou a sinner? Sins may be for
given.
Each morning gives thee wings to fee
from hell,
Each night a star to guide thy feet to
heaven.
Walter Malone

A STARTLING Question.

An eight-year-old youngster recently
came to her father after church serv-
ice one Sunday and astonished him by
asking:
Daddy, have any children"
The old man dropped his newspaper
and regarded her In amaZement.
"What?" he demanded.
"Have l any children?' doggedly re-
peated the child.
'FWell, / should hope not" replied
the father MAY l ask the reason of
this startling question:"
"Why, in church this morning" ex-
planned the youngster, "the minister
preached about children's children,
and wondered if 1 had any."-Lippin-
colts.

RAW DRUGS.
Castor Oil Comes as Pretty Littia
Brown and Black Beans.


Brown and Black Beans.
Upon going into Il pharmacy and
looking over the mysterious jars and
bottles and boxes that line the shelves
did you ever wonder where on earth
all of the drugs came from and how
they NJ! cared before they were ground
III, and made into oils or dried or pull
verified or crystallized into queer
shaped Jumps? Each jar and box
seems to hide some secret which you
Immediately become curious to solve.
How many different lands do they rep
resent? And. after they leave the Jars
that hold them now, what are they
made into?
Who, for example, would connect a
great pile of dry, thin tWlgs, neatly
tied into small bundles, with sarsa-
parilla? These twigs are the creep
ing roots and rootlets OF a prickly
shrub that grows in Jamaica, and they
are worth from 10 to so cents pound
Somewhat similar in appearance is
fpecacuanha, which also comes to us
In dry twigs, which are part of the
trailing root Of a plant found in the
damp forests of Brazil.
These roots receive no preparation
save drying before they are shipped off
to the United States They4are packed
in large sacks, and the workmen who
open the bales must beware of breath
ing the pungent, irritating dust given
off, which is productive of unpleasant
results if incautiously inhaled.
Castor oil, too, is hard to recognize
in the pretty little brown beans, spot
ted with black and with polished skins,
that arrive in bags from India. They
look far too attractive to suggest the
much hated dose of our early days.
Aloes, the base of many nauseous
medicines, may be seen in its crude
form as solid mass resembling brown
sealing wax, packed in heavy wooden
boxes, from which it is Clipped out
in flakes with a chisel and hammer
It is of different qualities and prices,
according to whether it comes from
Arabia, Socotra or the West Indies,
and may bring any sum from 81 to
$45 per hundreweight. Aloes is the
juice Of the big fieshy leaves of the
plant of that name. This juice is
pressed or evaporated from the leaves
and poured into chests or kegs in a
semifiuid state, hardening presently
into solid block. Not infrequently it
is inclosed in the dry skins Of mon
keys and in this strange form brought
to market.
One Of the most interesting of drugs
is opium, both on account of it's aw-
full potency and by reason of its great
value. A case of opium, about 225
pounds, is worth $500 roughly. The
case is of rough deal lined with tin
and contains a number of SOFT dark
Jumps, like large handfuls of dough
packed very closely together in a
quantity Of dry, chaffy seeds
The, opium which reaches America
is of two qualities, one for medicine,
the other for smoking, and comes from
Persia and Asia Minor, China and In
dia.-St. Louis Republic.

HurraOr and
} Philosophy }
By DUNCAN n. SMITH
NEAREST ARE DEAREST.


Thee s. 10y ,ls o. . 80
Rod.l!H, iUa-.d SIC v oiiu at large,
Some that cost you ready money,
Some the trouble man will charge,
But the brand that your attention
Gets you may as we'll allow
And makes light of all the others
Is the one that strikes you now.
Troubles of some other season
That when present did noE please
Are as last years birds nests swinging
In the bare and lelfcsS trees,
And the troubles that are coming
Do not fill you with disnay
Even though they may be frightful
If they're far enough away
Though your patient heart was broken
When the case was fresh and new,
Distance lends it's rare enchantment
In about a year or two.
You can smile in recollection
Even though it left YOU broke,
And if it is gone forever
You can treat it as joke.
But the ones that now are pressing,
That at present hold you tight,
Though they may be only trifles,
Keep you sitting up at night,
If you stand aside and view them
AS fellow up tree,
You can see they are but atoms
In the general trouble sea.

Where Friendship Ceased.

''Never heard what broke up their
friendship? Dear me! | thought
every one had heard that. Brown is
engaged, you know
"Oh, yes. I've heard that. Was
White in love with the same grip
mo, no; not at all. But White saw
her portrait in Browns room and
asked whose it was,
"It's a picture of my fiancee,' said
Brown.
"White examined it critically and
then put it down, with the remark
that she must be very rich. | don't
know what happened after that, but
White Wa taken home in cab, and
neither of them was seen out of doors
for a week"

The Parrots Greeting.

A young sailor sent a gray Belgian
parrot to his parents. The bird SwOre
terribly. 1t was only for the sake OF
the giver that the family kept it. But
keep it they did, and day and night the
house resounded with it's shrill oaths
When the minister called they threw a
cloth over the cage.
The minister called every Thursday
evening regularly; but once, collecting
for an oyster supper, he called on a
Saturday evening as we'll. His call
was unexpected, but they got the cloth
on the cage in time.
The minister had just begun to talk
about the slushy weather when from
beneath the cloth came loud squawk.
"Well, III be - roared the parrot.
"This has been - short week.

A happy SUGGESTION

upon finding that they had incidental

They hurriedly reopened him and ex-
tracted it. When all was neatly sewed
up once more they came upon the dis
covery that they had forgotten knife.
They opened him up again and found
the knife, sewed him up and missed a

The Cold. Sweet Spring.

The season comes when verdure young
Peeps through the gray of wintry cold,
Uncertain season, ever sung
BY poets since the world was old.

AS day by day the plot unfolds
Well catch a cold that will endure.
No balm for it the springtifne holds.
And so each blessed season l

lamps.
It's all because the seasons shy
On dry and very long on damps.
