Financial Poetry.

An unusual album was presented to
Willis Clark. brother of Lewis Gaylord
Clark, poet, on one occasion, with
a request for ''some rhymes
Mr.. Clark was at the house of a
farmer, and the mans daughter had
turned an old account book into an
autograph album in which were in
scribed the names of her various
friends and relatives below appropriate
sentiments
Mr. Clark saw his opportunity, and
after turning over the leaves for mo-
ment or two he took pen and wrote
the following verse:

The First ENGLISH Rookmaker,

Both the Derby and the Oaks owe
their names to that Earl Of Derby who
kept pack of staghounds near Epson
during the last quarter of the eight
zenith century and resided at a hunt
ing box called the Oaks. Fifty years
later a spiteful description of the Oaks
and its jockeys was recorded in the
diary Of Charles Greville In the re-
port Of the first Derby run the names
of five starters and of all the riders
are missing and there is no betting
quotation.
AS the earliest known bookmaker,
Vauxhall Clarke, was hanged, not for
welshing, but for highway robbery,
betting on the race course could not
at that period have been a particularly
profitable profession. Jockeys did not
then possess their present princely sal
aries, but with fee of guinea were
more richly rewarded than those of

Cherry History.


IL is still asserted in SchoolbOoks that
cherries were introduced to England
by the "fruiterer' or greengrocer OF
Henry VIII; also. that they We're not
common for hundred years after that
time. This is an error. Mr.. Thomas
Wright found the name in every one
OF the Anglo-SaXon Vocabularies which
he edited. SO common were they and
so highly esteemed that the time for
gathering them became recognized
festival cherry fair or feast And
this grew into proyerbial expression
for feeting joys. Cover says the fri
ars taught that life is but cherye-
fayre," and Hope "endureth but a
throwe, right as it were cherye-
feste." There is more than one record
OF the purchase of trees for the kings
garden at Westminster centuries be-
feTeS Henry VIII was born. But Pliny
contradicted the fable, as if in pro-
phetic mood After telling that Luz.

Very Saqacious.

A farmer had very sagacious dog
which he had trained to count his
sheep as they passed through partic-
ular opened gate, against which pile
of stones were placed for the dogs use.
AS each sheep passed through the dog
placed one Of the stones aside, One
day, much to the farmers surprise, he
found the dog trying to break a stone
in half, and on himself counting the
flock he found there had been an adj
dition in the night of a lamb.

Increases In Salaries.

During the past few years, the re-

basis of a new scale Of salaries.
There IS no question that we must

REBUILDING
THE BODY
THAT is THE CONSTANT BUSINESS
OF THE BLOOD.
And That Is Why a Blood Building
Tonic VIII Make the Body
Well and Keep 1t So.

Pure, red blood has we'll been called
the vital principle of life for upon it the
tissues of the body live. 1t goes to
practically every part of the body, car
rying noUrishment and oxygen, taking
up the wastes and so changing them
that they can be cast out of the sys-
tenn. AS our every act results in the
breaking down of some of the tissues
and the formation of waste materials
the body is in a constant state of
change. To maintain health, strength
and life the blood must be pure in or
der to replace these tissues with plen-
! ty of fresh nourishment and to rid the
body of it's waste material.
1t is evident then that overwork,
some drain upon the strength of the
body. any violation of the laws OF
health. must impoverIsh the blood and
so seriously hinder it in it's work, that
breakdown and ill-health result. This
is in fact the beginning of the numer-
Gus rundown conditions, commonly
called debility, which if neglected run
into many serious disorders.
Men and women. who are run down,
will find DIR. Williams Pink Pills the
best tonic for their condition. because
these pills are certain blood builder
and purifier. They enable the blood to
meet the unusual demands OF the body
and give perfect health.
Mr.. Frank Lill. of No. Ali South

brakeman on the Illinois Central rail-
road tells of his cure by DIR. Williams
Pink Pills, as follows:
Some years ago 1 became run down

posure / was sick a year or more. /
had severe pains across the small of
my back and sometimes there would
be sharp. shooting pains in my limbs.
This greatly hindered me in my work.
1 couldn't sleep we'll and felt miser-
able.
II tried several kinds of medicine
but did not get any relief. Then 1 be-
gan using Dr. Williams Pink Pills and
soon began to feel better. 1 took sew
eral boxes of the pills and was entire
ly cured. I have been able to work
since and have had no occasion to use
medicine"
DR.. williams Pink Pills should be
used in all diseases caused by thin or
impure blood, as anaemia, rheuma-
tism, stomach trouble. after-effects of
the grip and fevers. neuralgia, sick
headaches and weakness common to
