THE RETURN TO THE SOIL.
From the Boston Herald.

Now, while May is making sketches
That she carries forth and fetches
Back in vain poor Jim, the wretch, is
Getting sixty cents for eggs;
And while Bob is Tuning, fretting
In the pulpit and upsetting
Men of straw poor Jim is getting
Ninety cents for yellow-legs.
John is sad and grim and sour,
Earning forty cents an hour
For his lessons; Jim sells -four
At quite outrageous cost,
Bill is signing notes for money
To pay Jim for milk and honey,
And his thoughts are far from sunny
Of the farm he has lost.
Bob's a disconnected rover,
Wishing he could start all over;
Jim is harvesting his clover,
Worth hard dollars every ton;
May has found that there is a hitch in
Art, and promises to pitch in
And to fresco Jim's farm kitchen,
And she's nearly got it done
John has come back-he's a teacher
Of Jim's children, Bob's a preacher
Still long way after Beecher-
In the church that Jim endowed.
Bill is shrewd-a money maker
Banks for sale when there's taker,
And he's looking for an acre
Somewhere distant from the crowd.

When my jaded pulses quicken
At the price of pork and chicken,
When my bank account is stricken
At the cost of prime roast beef,
When committees get together
On the cost of lard and leather
And consumers wonder whether
There is hope Of some relief;
When the pork chop is inflated
To degrees unestimated
And we buy our eggs undated,
And are glad to get that kind,
Then we're apt in tears, to borrow
Gloomy fears from out the morrow
And to think with pain and sorrow
OF the farm we left behind.
Bill was cut out for a banker,
Since he never seemed to banker
For the corn rick, water tank or
Any rural things like these;
Bob was fitted for a preacher,
Babe to be the modern Beecher,
John was trained to be a teacher,
And he took sixteen degrees;
May felt art to be her mission,
Needed atmosphere's nutrition,
That she might take her position
In the real artistic swim,
And when little Jim looked round him
For his share, dire need just ground hin
With its heel, fates shackles bound him,
And the farm was left to him.

Marshal Burroughs, to arrest the

LUFF CASE
GOES TO JURY
Judge Conrad Delivers Charge
in Court Early This
Afternoon

Judge Conrad at 1885 to-day charged
the jury in the Luff case. Wien court
opened this morning L. Irving Handy
commenced the closing address for the
defendant. He was followed by Deputy
Attorney-General Wolcott for the state
Mr.. Wolcott denied that the insurance
company had anything to do with the
prosecution of Luff.
The State sprung a surprise in court
yesterday afternoon when Deputy At
torney General Wolcott called Will
liam M. Matthews of Media, to tes-
tify. At a previous session Luff had
sworn that illness prevented Mr.. Mat
thews from appearing in court to cor
roborate his, Luffs testimony that the
$3.50, alleged to have been taken from
the Luff house by robbers, had been
obtained from Mr.. Matthews on a note,
After being sworn. Mr.. Matthews
testified that he never gave S1.150 to
Luff and had never loaned that amount
to any Of the Luffs. Witness explain
ed that in May a "credit note" had
been endorsed so that Harry Luff could
secure credit at a Media bank i'm which
Mr.. Matthews is interested. Witness
said Luff never received any money
on the note. Payments OF 5000 had
been made but the money had been re-
turned by check to Harry Luffs ac-
count.
Prayers were then submitted and
part of the argument made to the jury
The court then adjourned until this
morning.

THE GRIP is HERE
What Gan BE Done About Tt {?

Poison cannot enter the body through
the skin except there be break some-
where--a raw spot.
II is not likely that the poisonous
bsoilli will enter the body through the
throat, lungs or stomach except there
is an liberated or denuded mucous
membrane.
Peruna protects the membrane from
injury.
A sound mucous membrane protects
against the bacilli of la grippe.
Those who put off taking Peruna
until after the grip has fastened itself
upon them have unnecessarily exposed
themselves to this epidemic disease.
The next best thing to do is to take
Peruna as a remedy for grip.
1t will very quickly expurgate the
invading baciln and put the patient
on his feet again.
Grip is everywhere.
Now is the time to act
Peruna will prevent.
Peruna will relieve.
Peruna will remove disastrous after
effects of grip.
Mr. Joe II. Davis, OF the Davis Con-
cert Company. 9O6 N. Fifth ST., Terre
Haute, Ind, says Of Peruna:
81 had a very severe attack Of la
grippe, which developed into bronohi-
tbs of the worst form, and in con-
nsetion with this had been suffering
with eatarrh Of the throat.
Il got very little rest or comfort out
OF living. Everything looked bad and
discouraging and my business was a
drag.
About this time Peruna was recon-
mended 70 me by a friend, which prov
ed the old maxim, "A friend in need is
a friend indeed for Immediately be-
gan to feel better as soon as 1 began
to use Peruna. and after using only
two bottles I felt like a new man.
Il keep it at hand at all times in case
Of return, but so far have had no

drama and much more than a mere
dramatic sketch. It tells the story of

former husband IS a convict and
a burglar. II is full OF heart interest
with some comedy. Mr.. and Mrs.

vaudeville.
Lillian Ward IS one Of the best known
condolences IN polite vaudeville. Miss
Ward has charming personality.
Harry Field will repeat the hits
which he has made in every city in
which he has appeared, for Field is a
rare combination Of juggler and
comedian. The audience does not
know whether 20 be amused at his
comedy or astonished by his skill and
ends by being both.
Patterson and Titus are to the front

which have not been seen here be-

genuine hit awaiting this pair.
