The Rabbit and the Boys Got Ava,
The Caravan.

From underneath the carob shade
A WaVering line of gray and white,
| watch II lose its form and fade
Like dreams across the face of night.
Whittier It goes I can but guess,
HAPPY where ruined Tadmore stands
The voiceless haunt of loneliness,
Amid the deserts swirling sands;
Or toward the Tigris' tawny tide
Into that land of ancient thrift
Where Bagdad's rich bazars spread wide,
And Haroun's minarets uplift;
Or toward the swart Arabian skies,
The home of sempiternal calms,
Where Pilgrims seek their paradise
Through mecca girdled with its palms
Yet howsoeeT it fares I fare,
In bouyant spirit ! am one
With those that drink the untrammeled
air.
The nomad children of the sun.
From camel back scan the waste
A fair oasis sign TO find,
And stranger to all thoughts of haste
Let my kaffeyeh take the wind.
Sandaled with silence, on I press.
Rousing before the flower of morn,
Through spaces where forgetfulness
Seems to have dwelt since time was
born.
And when, with soothing touch, comes
night
After the round of jars and joys,
Above the head, in AllahS sight
The hosts Of heaven wheel and poise

Battle Picture in Clouds.

From the New York Times.
A terrifying phenomenon in the
heavens recently alarmed the supersti-
tious villagers of Dorzbach and Ober-
unbach, on the frontier of Baden
and Wurtemberg. In the clouds, just
before 10 o'clock in the forenoon, there
appeared a bright red streak, on which
could be plainly seen a landscape. with
fields, streams and woods, among which
two bodies of troops in battle forma-
tion were advancing toward each
other firing volleys. The puffs Of smoke
were clearly visible.
Half an hour later the picture sud
denly disappeared, but the excitement
and fear aroused among the villagers
lasted until next morning, when the
explanation appeared in the newspa-
pers of the district that a sham fight
had been held by the garrison of Mer-
gentheam, some 20 miles distant, and
had been miraged on the clouds.

Well Acquainted.
From Tit-BitS.


Not long since the notice, Court ad-
journed sine die" was posted on the
door of a certain court. Some gentle
man with an artistic and lightly train
ed sense of humor added ID to the
word die" and went on his way re-
joicing.
Next day a person who makes prac-
tice of haunting the public buildings
and processes acquaintance with every
well known man in the vicinity, drop
ped into the clerks office.
See, here" he said, when did Sine
shuttle off this mortal coil?'
Whats that" demanded the aston
ished clerk.
when did Sine die? see the courts
are closed on account of It,"
'Oh!" said the clerk, pulling himself
together, he died yesterday. Did you
know him?"
Know him? l should say l did!
Knew his father before him. Too bad,
amt it,"
And Sine's bereaved friend passed
out with his burden of sorrow.

M ary Morrison.

O Mary. at thy window be,
II is the wish'd, the trysted hour.
Those smiles and glances let me see,
That make the miser's treasure poor;
How blithly wad | bide the stour
A weary slave frae sun to sun,
Could | the rich reward secure,
The lovely Mary Morrison.
Yestreen when to the trembling string
The dance gaed thro' the lighted ha',
To thee my fancy took its wing,
/ sat, but neither heard nor saw;
Tho this was fair, and that was Draw,
And you the toast of a the town,
l sigh'd and said amang them "a
'Ye are ma Mary Morrison"
o Mary, can't thou wreck his peace,
Wha for thy sake wad gladly die?
Or canst thou break that heart of his,
Whase only faut Is loving thee?
II love for love thou wilt ma gle,
At least be pity to me shown;
A thought ungentle Gamma be

SICK DOCTOR.
Proper Food Put Him Rfr

Proper Food Put Him Right.
The food experience of a physician
in his own case when worn and weak
from sickness and when needing nour-
ishment the worst way is valuable:
IAN attack Of grip, SO severe 1t came
near making an end of me, left my
stomach in such condition l could not
retain any ordinary food. I knew Of
course that must have food nourish-
ment or l could never recover.
II began to take four teaspoonfuls Of
Grape-Nuts and cream three times
day and for two weeks this was almost
my only food; it tasted 30 delicious
that I enjoyed 1t immensely and my
stomach handled it perfectly from the
first mouthful. 1t was so nourishing
I was quickly built back to normal
health and strength.
'GrapeNuts is Of great value as
food to sustain life during serious at
tacks In which the stomach Is so de-
ranged it cannot digest and assimilate
other foods.
II am convinced that were Grape
MUS more widely used by physicians,
1t would save many lives that are
otherwise lost from lack of nourish-
ment."
Absolutely the most perfect food In
the world. Trial of Grape-Nuts 10
days proves. There's a Reason
Look in pkg. for the little book, "The
Road to Wellville."

new one appears from time to time.
They are genuine, true. and full Of

Just the Thinq.

FROM IHe CleVeldnu Leader.
A certain gentleman, having in his
cellar some surplus ale on the verge of
spelling, was one day walking around
his estate when he came across party
of workmen. Hailing the foreman, he
ostentatiouslv presented the ale to the
men, giving them leave to fetch 1t as
they desired It. Some time afterward
he met the foreman and proceeded to
extract a suitable acknowledgment Of
his bounty.
well, Giles. did you and your men
have that ale?"
yes, sir, and thank you"
How did you like it?'
"Oh, it was just the thing for us, sir"
That's right. But what do you mean
by just the thing?"
why, sir, if it 'ad been little bet
ter we shouldn't "a 'ad it, and If it 'ad
been a little worse we couldn't "a

Hated rarsImony,

A leading official in the Young
Mems Christian association OF New
York said the other day OF the late
Morris X. Jessup:
Mr.. Jessup's charity was even
broader than his wealth. Naturally,
then, he hated parsimony. l never saw
him indignant save when some in
stance of parsimony would crop up.
once he told us here Of a partic-
ularly mean trick that had been play
ed upon him by a multimillionaire. He
said the man had inherited his mean
ness. His uncle, Westport farmer,
had been famed as a miser all over
Connecticut.
THE farmers cousin died in the SOS
and the old man attended the read
ing of the will, for he had hopes.
And, sure enough, in one of the
later CodiCils a certain eight-acre
field was left to him.
"As the bequest was read out the
farmer sat up in his chair rubbed his
hands and smiled delightedly about the
room.
But, the lawyer, reading on, made
known that the very good gray mare
then grazing in said field was be-
queathed to nephew.
AT this news the farmer clacked
his lips in rage and piped eXcitedly.
Then she's eatin' my grass.

Dawn on the Might Journey.

Till dawn the wind drove round me. 1t is
past
And still, and leaves the air to lisp of
bird
And to the quiet that is almost heard
OF the new-risen day, as yet bound fast
In the first warmth of sunrise. When the
last
OF the suns hours today shall be full
filed,
There shall another breath of time be
stilled
For me, which now is to my senses cast
AS much beyond me as eternity,
Unknown, kept secret. On the newborn
air
The moth quivers in silence. 1t is vast,
Yea, even beyond the hills upon the sea,
'Fhe day whose end shall give this hour
as sheer
AS chaos TO the irrevocable past.

'Palen had his dog, a whippet, along

so that Jim and Joe went to see what
1t was all about. They found the dog
all bristled up and barking at the up

in the ground where the roots had been

A Blossom of Solid Wood.

From the Los Angeles Times.
Through the gift of friend who Wis
tied the remote region where 1t grows,
Herman Silver, of Los Angeles, has
come into the possession Of a specimen
Of the strangest and rarest flower
known to scientists.
1t is the Rose OF He'll" a gigantic
blossom OF solid wood, which grows
only on the edges of a Central Amer
lean volcano and gets it's name from
the Indians, who believe the crater is
the entrance of hell and the blossom d
native Of the regions inside.
Mr. SilVer's specimen Is one OF the
few that have ever been brought to
this country, and perhaps t;:e finest.
At first appearance IT seems to be
tough gnarled knot Of a tree which
has been splintered, but closer exam
ination discloses the fact that 1t has
petals Of wood and bark and the rough
outlines of a flower. The petals, con-
cave in form, are arranged much like
the petals of a half blown rose. Their
inside surfaces are covered with fine
lines, which have the delicacy Of fine
hand carving. The stem, which is
about foot long, is of some unusual
wood, which is light and strong. 1t is
covered with heavy bark, which seems
to have been cracked by heat. Both
flower and stem are dark brown-the
color Of weather beaten boughs-and
dry as tinder The flower grows on r.
tree of great size and strength. The
blossom measures about IL inches
across.
The trees grow in the crevasses on
the sides of Mount Aqua, high peak
among the rugged mountains of Cen
trail America and near the volcano of
Fuego. The Guatemalan Indians have
known Of 1t for long time and have
associated It with the fiery vengeance
of the subterranean regions.
