POEMS
YOU'LL
ENJOY.
The Herald's Special Selections.
CHILDHOOD AND OLD AGE.

Little boy,
The way before you stretches far;
1t winds through valleys that are
dark and deep.
Oft you Will halt in doubt where
dangers bar
Your progress on the hillsides hard
and steep.
Little boy,
You are but starting on the way
The way that at a far-off grave
must end
And temptresses will plead with you
to stray
In byways that to infamy descend.
Little boy,
] look with pity on your face;
1 think of all the hardships you
must bear,
The compacts 'twixt Dishonor and
Disgrace
To scar your soul and drag you to
despair.
Poor old man!
Your feet are weary, you are sad;
The way that lies before you soon
must end.
The pleasures and the triumphs you
have had
Were they the things that caused
your back to bend?
Poor old man!
You pass on, friendless and alone;
You have become a stranger in the
land.
Behind you sleep the ones whom you
have known,
IT'S long since you have gripped
a brothers hand.
Poor old man!
The way behind you stretches far;
You totter down the last uneven
slope;
Your weary hands are marked by
many a scar,
But on your face there is the glow
of Hope.

HELPING Out the Clerk.

An honest farmer from south Jer-
sey who was unusually ignorant of
city ways went to Il fashionable hotel
in Philadelphia with his son. The
father retired early, but the son went
out to "see the town." At 1890
o'clock the farmer went downstairs and
inquired Of the night clerk if the boy
had returned vet. He was told he
had not. The father went back to
his room. An hour later he again
appeared before the clerk and said.
"IIain't Jack in yet?" Again he was
informed that the lad was out.
The old man made several subse-
quent trips, and still his boy was
among the missing, Finally at $3.50
o'clock the farmer trudged YEARLY
down the stairs and asked again if his
boy had returned. "No, he is not
in yet replied the night clerk.
"Whal, | guess he won't come in,
then. Guess you ncedn' wait up any
longer"

The Ri9ht Road.

If you we're in the union station in
large city and wanted to go to a GER
tain town, you would find it necessary
to use good judgment in finding the
proper train. If you boarded trains
without discrimination, you would
make poor Roadway and annoy your
self and others.
Farmers are constantly full Of de-
sire to get to the place called Pros
perity.
Millions of them go to the starting
place, but not one-tenth of them take
the right road.

reached it, or ever will reach it, over
the E. F. F. H. (every fellow for
himself) highway.
Prosperity is on o. & c. (organi-
cation and co-operation) road, and
Just beyond it are the stations, Com
fort, Security and Peace.
The o. q C. is run by that big,
strong, up-to-date company, the A. S.

line has no equal.

run for the purpose Of making i'm
mense profits on watered, therefore
fictions, stock, after paying enormous
salaries and "betterment" charges.
Its officers and board serve for next
to-nothing salaries, and the whole
system is conducted at the minimum
of expenses.
1t is strictly cooperative, and
they're unwise farmers who do not
become stockholders in the company.

The Confederate Pension Bill.

The bill to pension Confederate
veterans in Kentucky, which seems
certain to become a law, provides
S12 monthly for the veterans who do
not own over $4,000 worth of prop
erty, either in their own or in their
wives names, or who have not an in
come free ofincumbrance ofover $500
a year. 1t is thought that about
$500 Confederate veterans may avail
themselves of the benefits of this act.
All of the Southern States have laws
similar to this one, to some extent do
ing for the southern soldiers what the
general Government so munificently
does for the Union veterans.

StOneweII's BRIDGE Builder.

"Stonewall Jackson" said Vir-
ginia veteran, FUSED to tell a story
about bridge builder.
"This bridge builder was called old
Miles. He was very necessary to
Jackson because the aimsy bridges on
the line of march were continually be-
ing swept away by the floods or des-
troyed by the enemy; and in these con-
tingencies Miles was regular jewel.
He could run you upa bridge in the
time it would take another man to
make the measurements.
Zone day the Union troops burned
a bridge across the Shenandoah.
Stonewall jackson called old Miles to
him and said
"You must put all your men to
work, Miles, and you must keep them
at j, all night, for I've got to have a
bridge across this stream by morning.
My engineer will draw up the plans
for you"
We'll, early the next morning
Jackson, very much worried, met old
Miles.
"See here he said, obviously how
about that bridge? Did the engineer
give you the plan?"
"Old Miles took the cigar from his
mouth and ficked the ashes off with a
sneer
General he said, the bridge is
done. l dunno whether the picter is
or not.

Unfortunate Minister Redeemed.

Cincinnati, o., Feb. 26.-As the
first result of the new system adopted
here for the treatment of drunkards
and victims of the drug habit, the
Rev. George Waverly Briggs was dis
charged from the Workhouse as cured
of the morphine habit.
The clergyman, who is well known
in the Methodist Church, was arrested
several weeks ago for the theft of a
package of pens. He was convicted
of petty larceny and pleaded that he
had been made a morphine "fiend' by
physicians who had treated him for a
nervous disorder. Under a new re-
gime, inaugurated by Mayor Schwab,
drunkards and drugs fiends are treat
ed scientifically instead of being con-
sidered prisoners of the criminal class.
After three weeks in the workhouse,
under medical care, DR.. Briggs is dis
charged as cured, and says he will
lecture on the Methodist chautauqua
summer circuit.
DR.. Briggs was at one time chap
lain of the Texas legislature, and la
ter held an important church position
at Greensboro, Ky.

back, dizziness, sleeplessness, nervous
ness, or the kidneys themselves break
down and waste away cell by cell.
Bladder troubles almost always result
from arrangement of the kidneys and
better health in that organ is obtained
quickest by proper treatment of the kid

hold urine and scalding pain in passing it,
and overcomes that unpleasant necessity

the night. The mild and immediate effect
of Swamp-Root the great kidney remedy
is soon realized. 1t stands the highest be-
cause of its remarkable health restoring
