And desired to cross the river
That athwart the turnpike lay.
And the oarsman had daughter
Who was fair TO look upon
She was young and she was happy,
But her heart could not be won
From her father and her mother
Who by her much store did set,
And the answer to each suffer
Always given was-''Not yet
While the father was unlettered
And her mother could not write,
Strange to say, the pretty daughter
Was unusually bright.
At the mission school she triumphed
BY the quickness of her brain
Over many lads and lasses
Who had worked with might and
main.
So, to her there was awarded
On one bright commencement day
A diploma tied with ribbon
The degree known as B. A.
And the pepole all in wonder
Thought to see her head now turned
By this honor unexpected
Placing her among the learned.
So, she rose with face all smiling
Bowling to the left and right
And with step so true and steady,
Toward the cottage made her fight,
Where the mother and father
Go II
And she sped to tell them straight
way
How she loved them more than fame.
That to them a faithful daughter
She would ever henceforth be,
Notwithstanding many suitors
Might her daily come to see;
That in winter she would read them
Many stories not yet writ
For they could not read the papers
AS together they would sit.
So the oarsman piled his paddles
As each passerby should call,
Still content to charge a shilling
For the labor of each haul.
And his daughter oftened hepled him
The great boat to landing guide
And considered it an honor
To assist him stem the tide.
By and by the father sickened
And his arm no more could guide,
With the cunning Of aforetime,
The great boat upon the tide;
Then it was the daughter pretty,
With a heart as strong as hope,
Demonstrated to the neigbhors
How with poverty to cope.
To the boat she went in person
And with an arm and courage strong
Out into the mighty current,
Pushed and forced the boat along.
And grim want was made to know,
From the day of her first trip,
That his presence was not wanted
That he'd better take to ship.
By and by man of money
Glanced to be a passerby
And the beauty of the maiden
Quickly fell upon his eye.
Every day he made excuses,
Once, at least to pass that way
Always greeting the fair boatswain,
Always doubts fair would pay.
AS the winter months were slipping
Swiftly into unknown past;
AS the birds and summer sunshine
Were approaching now at last,
Then it was that cupid cunning,
With his bow and deadly dart,
Crossed himself upon the ferry
Shooting maiden through the heartl
Then it was the man of money
Won the maiden of the boat;
Made mansion of the cottage,
Banished want to parts remote.
But the ferry now is cherished
And the boat put in the shed,
Just to show that education
Need not turn a Maiden's head

ANNUAL LOSS IS ENORMOUS
TWO Hundred Million Dollars Year
Might Be Added to Wealth
OF Country.

Computing that there are In the
United States at least 100000 INDECENT
consumptives who should be cared for
in charitable or semi-charitable sana1
toria and hospitals, the National As
sociation for the Study and Proven
ton of tuberculosis estimates that
the annual cost to the country for the
treatment of these persons would be
$50,000,000 at the rate Of $1.669 per
day per patient. At the lowest pos
sible estimate the country loses $780,
100000 a year from the incapacity OF
these INDECENT victims of tuberculo-
sis. This would mean net saving OF
$150,000,000 year to the United
States if all victims Of consumption
who are too poor to afford proper
treatment in expensive sanatoria were
cared for at the expense of the munic-
ipality, county or state. And this an
nual gain does not include the enor
nous saving that would accrue from
the lessened infection due to the seq
regation of the dangerous consump-
tives in institutions.

SCRATCHED so SHE COULD
NOT SLEEP

II write to tell you how thankful
am for the wonderful Cuticura Rem.
edies. My little niece had eczema for
five years and when her mother died
I took care OF the child. It was all
over her face and body, also on her
head. She scratched so that she could
not sleep nights. I used Cuticura
Soap to wash her with and then ap-
piled Cuticura Ointment. I did not
use quite half the Cuticura Soap and
Ointment, together with Cuticura Re.
solvent, when you could see change
and they cured her nicely. Now she
is eleven years old and has never been
bothered with eczema since. My
friends think it is just great the way
the baby was cured by Cuticura. l
send you a picture taken when she was
about 18 months old.
''She was taken with the eczema
when two years old. She was covered
with big sores and her mother had all
the best doctors and tried all kinds OF
salves and medicines without effect
until we used Cuticura Remedies. Mrs.

JUDGES WIGS.

The wig is only worn by English
barristers to give them sterI judi
cial appearance, and no one can say
that it fails in this respect The GUS
tom was originated by French
Judge in the seventeenth century
when, happening to don marquis
wig one day, he found it gave him
such stern and dignified appearance
that he decided to get one for himself
and wear it at all times in court.
This he did, and the result was SO
satisfactory from legal point Of
view, that not only judges, but bar
risters, also, took up the custom
throughout Europe.
