too powerful for a child. The homes of
Mrs. Vallie Utley, Keyser, N. c., and
Mrs. E. L. Hair, Dalton, Ga, are always
supplied with DR.. Caldwell's Syrup Pep
sin, and with them, as with thousands
of others, there is no substitute for this
grand laxative. 1t is really more than a
laxative, for 1t contains superior tonic
properties which help to tone and
strengthen the stomach, liver and bowels
so that after a brief use of it all laxa-
tives can be dispensed with and nature
will do its own work.

THE LITTLE HIGH CHAIR.

She lives where the marble walls are
high
And the rugs are rich and the halls
are wide.
Where rarest tapestries please the
eye
And every luxury is supplied,
And often she listens to words of
praise
From men who are proud and from
ladies fair,
But she doesn't forget to sometimes
gaze
Through a mist of tears at little
high chair.
The way is far to the cottage which
Was gladdened once by a laughing
child,
Where she learned to envy the happy
rich,
In the distant seasons, ere Fortune
smiled;
The humble cottage is crumbling fast.
And the things on which she be-
slowed her care
Are gone or scattered. their service
All save a poor, cheap, little high
chair.
She lives were servants obey her
calls,
Where the wine Is rare and the
laughter light;
But often still, after all the years
That have come and gone since she
put it there,
in . sacred nook, through mist Of
tears
She looks at a poor. cheap, little
