PIERROT's SONG.

Frederick Truesdell in August Ainslees.
II you were kind, we two might STRAY
Forever where the fields were gay.
Your gown I'd weave of summer skies,
With sunshine and with butterflies,
And love should never say you nay.

On thistledowns we'd sail away
Across the dreams of yesterday,
On lilies watch the moon arise,
II you were kind!
Who am I? Just the tear that lay
Where now l see the dimples play.
I am the usefulness that signs
Thro far-off dreams of Paradise.
For old times sake you'd bid me stay.

GOING BACK.

Over the hills to Boyland,
Where the roses used to blow;
To Laughterland and Joyland
And the land of Long Ago.
A weary road to travel
When we are growing DID,
And toIlsome to unravel
Lifes tangled skein of gold.
But memory is heeting
Far down a shady lane,
A withered heart is beating
With youths high hope again
And a grizzled toiler listens,
Amid life's busy throng,
The while tear-drop glistens.
To boyhood's glad, osweet song!

The Virginia Primary Today.

virginias democratic primary for gov
ernor will be held today and 1t is of
more than usual interest outside of the
state because the prohibition question is
involved in the contest between the two
aspirants. Judge Mann is the prohibit
ton candidate while Tucker is running
on local option platform.
"At one time It looked as IL Tucker
would surely be the winner but during
the past few days the betting has been
In favor of Mann" said Virginian
living In Birmingham. 1T read the Rich
mond papers and I meet friends from
Virginia and from the way the stu
alton looks Mann will come out ahead
but by only a small majority. Neither
Mann nor Tucker is regarded as strong
as gubernatorial timber In the Old Do
minion goes, but Tucker is personally
popular and has been a good vote-getter,
having been elected to Congress three
or four times. If Mann does win it
will be not on account of his prohibit
ton politics but because he is backed
by the democratic machine headed by
United States Senator Tom Martin, a
past master in machine politics.

Consumption is primarily poor man s
disease. DIR. Woods Hutchinson, of New
York City says: Roughly speaking, the
incipicnt tuberculosis patient can buy as
many chances of fresh air and cure rs he
mas money The percentage of deaths
from consumption among the poor Is
100 per cent higher than among the we'll
to-do-rich and the rich. Sixty-fi five per
cent of the consumptives in the United
states are too poor to provide proper
means for treatment. They must either
be placed in a sanatorium or a hospital
where they can be cured of their disease
and where they will be removed from the
possibility of injecting other members of
their families, or the loss resulting from
neglect to care for these poor consump-
tlves will be twice or three times as great
as would be the case if they were properly
housed in institutions.
The National Association for the Study
and Prevention of tuberculosis declares
That II every county or township should
erect an institution for the treatment of
INDECENT cases of consumption, this dis
ease would be wiped out in Il few years.
