complaint of restlessness, little was

spinal meningitis. He was grand son
of John B. Wright, who died few days

suffered much on the two days before
his death, and at last told his mother he
wanted to die and go to Heaven, as
there is no pain there"

His Cigarette.

In a Morris chair, my mind free from care,
With a Turkish cigarette,
And glass of wine, and a friend of mine,
| recall the girls I've met.
The first face see, in the smoke about me
Is simple, and sweet, and true,
With trusting blue eyes, rejecting the skies
AS the brooks in summer do.
The next picture there is wonderfully fair
An idol of old Cornell
A living sunbeam inspiring our team
When she gave the college yell.
There re girls by the score learn'd to adore
Blue eyes. and brown eyes and grey;
But soon we forget, and the old cigarette
Brings the first love back to stay.
| then look about as the smoke dies out.
Not sorry that awoke
For my friend is there, her arm on my chair
My wife the first in the smoke

ORIGINAL POETRY.
The Editors SoIiIoquy.

Some people think an editor
Leads such a quiet, peaceful life;
But the only thing that could be worse
Would be to have a sColding wife
We try to please our patrons all
And many more who do not pay,
And if we make the least mistake,
They each one have a word to say.
There was the man who wrote an ''ad.,
And thought it would mt cost cent,
But when we sent the bill to him
He tore around-and off he went
Into dreadful rage and Swore
He wouldn't pay a single red ~
He'd hOnored us by sending it
That's just exactly what he said.
And. then, there's Mandy Jones, who
thinks
She knows Just how to make rhyme
And if we don't accept them all
Ii hurts her feelings every time.
We published one for her; it was
A eulOgy upon her kin
Next day there came an irate note
We hadn't got 1t quite all in.
A candidate once sent us all
The speeches of his last campaign,
With request to publish them.
1t fell to my lot to explain.
He stopped his paper on the spot
And we were so much out OF purse.
The only comfort can find
Is-that things might be even worse.

The Better Way.

The Homecoming correspondent of the
Cumberland NeWS tells of the compile
ton Tuesday of some street paving at
east end of town limits, and concludes
This gives the town paved streets from
one end of the city line to the other except
a small portion below the Mary land Hotel,
joining State road at both ends.
In Homecoming the town pays for all
street-paving except between and two
feet outside traction space.
The latter the railway company pays
for.
The abutting property-owner pays
nothing except his share of a general ex'
pense levied for everybody's use.
Hence, no cases go to court, and no
body gets out of paying his share by
tle-transfer or other legal hocus-pOcus,

Strange, but True.

The cities are making great ado over
their census ratings.
Baltimore for instance, is busy assign
ing reasons why Cleveland, Ohio, has
taken sixth place-this in tone of self
reproach.
But, by-and-by, there will be talk OF
the evils of congested population-pro-
ductive, consumptive, economical, phys
ical, social and moral evils.
And then-"stay on the farm and
'back to the farm" will be heard.
Meanwhile, the lure to the city keeps
up, and SO far has it gone i'll one State
out west that many people complain OF
the garish displays of inducements to
the young to learn book keeping, stem
ography, engineering, etc.
only in the penitentiary, states one
paper, ARE the useful trades taught to
men, who, when released, are the best
fitted for substantial work"
Too many of our young men," says
the same writer. "are learning to be
bum stenographers and fourth-rate
lawyers. Let us, therefore, send our
sons to the penitentiary to make sure Of
fitness for useful work in building up the
country and making their own way safe
in the battle of life"
This, of course. is exaggeration. but
the tendency is in the direction OF draw
ing the young people from the farm to the
town, and the result is unquestionably
damaging to both.

SAVED OLD LADY'S HAIR

my mother used to have a very bad
humor on her head which the doctors
called an eczema. and for it had two
different doctors. Her head was very
sore and her hair nearly all fell out
in spite of what they both did. One
day her niece came in and they were
speaking of how her hair was falling
out and the doctors did 1t no good.
She says, Aunt, why don't you try
Cuticura Soap and Cuticura ONT
ment?' Mother did and they helped
her. In six months time the itching,
burning and scalding of her head was
over and her hair began growing. To-
day she feels much In debt to Cuti-
cura Soap and Ointment sor the fine
head of hair she has for an old lady
of seventy-four
my own case was an eczema In my
feet. AS soon as the cold weather
came my feet would itch and burn and
then they would crack open and bleed.
Then / thought / would fee TO my
mothers friends, Cuticura Soap and

Does Your Cat Couqh?

Poor pussy! AS II the immemorial
charges against her of keeping us
awake o. nights and Of eating canary
birds whenever she gets the chance
were not enough, the doctors have
just discovered that for years she has
been responsible for the spread of
diphtheria. DR.. G.. j. Awburn of
Manchester, England. having traced
an epidemic of this disease In sub
urb of that city to pet cat belonging
to one of his patients, has found, after
much clever investigation, that all
cats are peculiarly susceptible to
diphtheritic affections Of the throat.
He has therefore recently been warn
ing all families who own cats to
watch them carefully, and, II they de-
velop coughs, to forbid their being
Rugged and petted. DR.. Awburn fur
Their recommends that IL the cough
persists and the cat begins to grow
thin to have the animal destroyed at
once. The only really safe way. he
says, is to let the first wheeze be
pussys death warrant.

is then cut out and pasted on the

The children stood hushed and
awed, and the sick woman closed her
eyes and wondered at il all. The
young man and the girl looked
straight into each others eyes as they
talked. and her words seemed to cut
him like the lash of whip. When
there had been silence for minute,
and the OH man-wolf was heard
snarling as he paced the hall. the
young man said:
II am ashamed and sorry. Let that
answer for the moment. VIII you
come with me?"
And without the slightest fear In
her mind. and with smile at the
mother and her children, she arose.
Intuition told her what was In the
strangers thoughts. He carried the
bread and butter out into the hall and
placed them In the hands Of the
fierce-faced old man. He fell to de-
vouring them as II he had, indeed,
been wolf of the forest, and when

for crumbs he was frightened away

Up one street and down another for
an hour, they went Wines and jellies
and fruits, they bought for the woman
whose ailment was starvation more
than disease-food to last for days and
days. They selected, next. gifts and
new stockings to receive them-what-
ever money could buy and the two
could bundle into their arms. they
picked up. And all the time. though
neither one knew the name of the
other they talked and laughed and
were like children In their delight.
The return to the tenement was like
the arrival of lord and his lady.
There was something for other chill
dren, too, and policeman, pausing In
