unwillingly. Her appearance is

said Vernon, looking around almost
apo,ogetically at Jem. She was very
kind to me-
Don't you think the fact that peo-

her might make her manners arti-

Sir Miles kindly.
"Oh, very likely" said Mrs. Bards-

And nobody has word to say

growing uncomfortably red, and, ris-

up, FASTENED to her assistance. The
challenge was not replied to by any

LINCOLN'S ADDRESS.
At the Dedication of Gettysburg Gem.
eterY November 19. 1863.

Fourscore and seven years ago our
fathers brought forth on this contin-
ent a new nation, conceived in liberty,
and dedicated to the proposition that
are engaged in a great civil war, test
ing whether that nation, or any nation
so conceived and so dedicated, can
long endure. We are met on a great
battlefield of the war We have come
to dedicate portion of that field as
a final resting place for those who
here gave their lives that their ma
tion might live. 1t is altogether fit
ting and proper that we should do
this.
But. in larger sense, we can not
dedicate, we can not consecrate
we can not hallow this ground. The
brave men, living and dead, who
struggled here, have consecrated it
far above our power to add or de-
tract The world will little note, nor
long remember, what we say here, but
it can never forget what they did
here 1t is for us, the living, rather
to be dedicated here to the unfinished
work which they who fought here
have thus far so nobly advanced. #
is rather for us TO be here dedicated
to the great task remaining before
us-that from these honored dead We
take increased devotion to that cause
for which they gave the last full
measure of devotion-that we here
highly resolve that these dead shall
not have died in vain-that this ma
ton, under God, shall have a new
birth of freedom-ard that govern
ment of the people, by the people,
for the people, shall not perish from
the earth.

:: 3,
:: :: ;: 8: :. y 3: :: ;: :: :, :. :: y :: :. :,

OF Abraham Lincoln it was once
said that the prevailing sentiment OF
his powerful, yet sad, countenance
was expressed in the line, "Oh, why
should the spirit of mortal be proud?'
The sympathetic observer, who
found there so splendid a significance
guessed the secret that lay within
almost clairvoyant insight
That is the opening line of the
poem which was Lincoln's favorite
1t was written by young Scotchman
who died at the age of 37-the age
fatal to Burns, Byron, Motherwell and
other gifted poets.
To those who apprecite meritori-
Gus verse, the same pleasure can be
enjoyed here, in the reading of the
poem in its completeness, as was
vouchsafed Lincoln on that night of
rare peace and talk of beauty amid
the tumult of war and stress of his
peoples peril. This is the poem in
full:
MORTALITY.
Oh. why should the spirit of mortal
be proud?
Like a swift. fleeting meteor, a fast
flying cloud,
\ flash of the lightning, break of
the wave,
He passeth from life to his rest in
the grave
The leaves of the oak and the willow
shall fade,
Be scattered around and together be
laid;
And the young and the old, and the
low and the high,
Shall moulder to dust and together
shall lie.

How to Stop
PimpleS
In Five Days You Can Get Rid Of All
Skin Eruptions by the New
Calcium Sulphide Waters.
Trial Package to Prove It Sent Free.

Trial Package to Prove It Sent Free.
Any man or woman gets awfully
tired going around with pimply face
day after day. And other people get
awfully tired, too, seeing them go
around with faces full of disgusting
pimples.
If you are one of the unfortunates
who can't get away from your pimples
and you have tried almost everything
under heaven to get rid of them, take
few of Stuarts Calcium Waters
every day. Do that steadily for few
days, and in less than a week look at
yourself in the mirror.
You will then say that Stuart's Cal
cium Waters are wonder in getting
rid of the eruptions.
These wonderful little workers con-
tain the most effective blood purifier
ever discovered. calcium sulphide.
No matter what your trouble is,
whether pimples, blotches, black
heads, rash, letter eczema or scabby
crusts, you can solemnly depend up
on Stuart's Calcium Waters as never
failing.
Stuarts Calcium Waters have cured
boils in three days and the worst
cases of skin diseases in a week. Ev-
cry particle of impurity is driven out
OF your system completely, never to
return, and it is done without derang-
ing your system in the slightest.
Most treatments for the blood and
for skin eruptions are miserably slow
in their results, and besides, many of
them are poisonous. Stuart's Cal
icum Waters contain no poison or
drug of any kind; they are absolute
ly harmless, and yet do work which
cannot fail to surprise you.
Don't go around with humiliating,
disgusting mass of pimples and black
heads on your face. A face covered
over with these disgusting things
makes people turn away from you,
and breeds failure in your life work.
Stop it. Read what an Iowa man said
when he woke up one morning and
found he had new face:
"By George, l never saw anything
like it. There I've been for three
years trying to get rid of pimples and
blackheads, | guess l used everything
Waters for just seven days. This
morning every blessed pimple is gone
and | can't find a blackhead. ! could
write you a volume of thanks. / am
so grateful to you"
Just send us your name and address
in full today and we will send you
trial package of Stuarts Calcium
Waters free, to test. After you have
tried the sample and been convinced
that all We say is true, you will go
to your nearest druggist and get a
SOC box and be cured of your facial
trouble. They are in tablet form and
no trouble whatever to take. You go
about your work as usual, and there
you are-cured and happy.
Send us your name and address to-
day and we will at once send you by
mail a sample package free Address

There was nobody to prevent

YOU couldn't have much difficulty in

most had the air OF leaving the

what she had TO say.
Vernon somehow respected him

Vernon, he is suffering from an

laughing.
The gravel sweep at Barrow End
WAS in better condition than it
had been when Vernon first made
its acquaintance.
It was well rolled, and the bor-

the clumsy, smartly uniformed maid.
They went into the hall. evidently

Vernon had not as yet entered.
It was heavy with the scent of
dollhouse flowers. and drowsy with
the warmth of tremendous fire,

which the fire seems to lie upon the
