And everywhere the fashions went,

Sometimes it is around her kness,
Sometimes beneath her arms.

those sparkling eyes OF thine,
So run two lines in song just pub
lshed by the Rev. DR.. Pedro Hgen.
pastor of the Holy Ghost Evangelical
Lutheran church here, music by Lene
Fleming.
The vulgar call the song hot stuff
and say that with q guitar accompani-
mcnt, 1t will keep parlor warmer than
would a ton of coal. The Rev. Dr. llgen,
being asked whence he drew his in
spiration. only smiled and said:
The songs of Solomon have love for
their topic. do not think 1t extraor-
binary that should write love song"
The clergyman's perfervid muse goes
on
oh. let me see those sparkling eyes of
thine:
They are like stars of heaven. yonder-
And then, thou, star; look deeply into
mine
All there is light. all there is light
Oh, let me kiss those rosy lips Of thine,
Those sweet lips, once sWeetly kissed by
mine
call them ours
The reverend doctor threatens to
write some more Songs.

But, soon, smart

Ere slumber's chains have bound me,

While "skceters" fuss around me!

BIG DISCOVERY At ELkTON.
Epoch Making Remedy Made by
DR.. John D. Bear.

His Emulsion We Eeseed Fonr Years Before 1t
WAS Put ON the Market. Testimonials.
A wonderful remedy has been dis
covered by DR.. John D. Bear of Vir-
ginia. There are testimonials after
testimonials given by people who
have used this remedy and all say it
has proven to be a grand success. It
was experimental with for four years
before being put on the market, dur
ing that time it effected some grea.
cures. We believe it has come to stay
and be used as remedy. Everyone
can rely on it to help stamp out the
ravages OF the consumption germ. If
this remedy continues to meet with
such success it will be a great thing
for our country, as the State of Vir-
einia alone lost 5000 people last year
from consumption, and 10000 are re-
ported to have it now. 1t was founi
out yesterday that Schmitt's Drug
Store have ordered shipment of this
great remedy. We congratulate our
druggist on being so prompt.
