The Valley Of Plains.

The Valley Of Plains.
Among the wild Rockies, mid snow
covered chains.
There lies a sweet vale called the
Valley Of Plains:
Around 1t river majestically elides
Caressing the dale where contentment
abides;
While yon silvery peaks Of immaculate
snow,
Their tribute Of crystalline water, be-
stow.
The sun looking down on that garden
of peace.
Loves to fll it with bounteous natures
increase.
A traveller paused In his world weary
night.
Refreshing his heart in that scene Of
delight;
He climbed a tall cliff and looked
lingering down
On meadow and river and murmurins
town;
Beneath him the homes of the vale
nestled there,
Half hidden by orchards Of apple and
pear:
The grazing herds dotted the uplands,
or strayed
Far down on the stretches of meadow
and glade.
He saw the dark wood on the wild
mountain side,
Where the wolf and the grizzly and
couger abide,
The bench lands where letters the tim
orous deer,
In dread of the wilds, and of mankind
in fear.
A train sweeping in from Pacific's new
marts.
And hurrying onward to Easten parts,
Crept UP the broad valley-a tiny
affair.
Mid natures immensely slumbcrinx
there.
A hawk just below him scared down
from her nest.
And sailed DER the valley in plunder-
ing quest
But far far above him the great
mountains rise.
Their cloud wrcathed submits now
lost in the skies
Or glisteninE clear in the suns golde.
light.
They stand in glory Of measureless
might.
Unchanged mid circling change they
disclose
Unspeakable grandeur. majestic re-
Now wrapped in a silvery sheetinE Of
Now bathed in the purple dawns glor-
ious glow,
Or tipped by the moonlight, their
peaks cleave the air
OF Heaven, as If they were worship
ping there.
Yon boulders like sentinels guarding
the steep.
Through ages uncounted their grim
vigils keep.
Above this fair valley their huge
heaps were flung
In some far OFF time when creation
was young.
Exchanging mid changes the ages
have wrought,
Their silence is rife with inspiring
thought.
These mountains proclaim an omni-
potent power
That fashioned their bulk in some
primitive hour.
This fruit laden valley is glowing with
That drips from the bounteous Giver
above.
Oh God! What the glory Of Heaven
must be,
When it's feeble reflection on noun
tain and lea,
Ennobles the dull clay with a beauty
sublime
Eternity's breath on the ashes Of time

L too, wish to add my testimonial
to the thousands you no doubt have,

Several months ago I was taken

intense pains and suffered greatly, at
times L could not stand on my feet or
sit in a chair and often was forced to
cry out with pain.
consulted two doctors who gave
me different kinds OF medicine, which
did me no good. 1t seemed as though
the more of their medicine l took,
the worse ] became. The doctors
seemed to be greatly puzzled over my
case and after holding a consultation
l was told that l had a severe case
of Inflammation of the bladder and
an operation was very necessary.
l was being prepared to be taken
to the hospital, when a neighbor
came to my house and said, why
don't you try a bottle of DIR. Kill

to try anything to get relief from
my suffering. Ny wife bought bot
tie of your medicine which 1 began
taking and soon noticed a change
! for the better. l continued taking
it and got better right along, my ap-
petite returned and l was able to re-
sumo work.
l have used about fourteen bottles
of Swamp Root and know that had /
not taken it, would have been op-

Paid i'm Full"

In recent years a few plays have
made such big hits that two or three
companies have been sent out in them
and in one instance four organiza-

lasted only a short time. That play
was not big enough or popular
enough to win public support for four
companies, yet it was one of the big
best successes of the time In this
fact lies the proof that Eugene
Walters paid in Full' is the great
est and most popular play ever pro-
duced in America Beginning in Au-

May five companies appeared in

BEGIN FRENCH
STREET WORK

The first gang of men in the employ
Of the Street and Sewer Department to
go 10 work this spring. on street paw
ing, started on the French street pro-
ject this morning. There we're about
eighteen men in the gang and this
number is expected to be increased to
fifty by tomorrow.
French street is to be paved with
bitulithic from Sixteenth street to
Front street. Sixteenth street is men
toned first because the paving will
start at that end There are two rea-
sons for this. One and the most inn
portant, is that the Street and Sewer
Directors are endeavoring to induce
the Wilmington and Philadelphia
Traction Company 10 remove its
tracks from French street, between
Front and Fourth streets, so that
French street will be a clear avenue
from one end TO the other. For this
reason work was not started at the
Front street end of the thoroughfare,
as by the time the PAYERS reach
Fourth street. a satisfactory arrange
ment will have been entered into be-
tween the city and the railway officials
over the track proposition.
The trctiOn compnw now has one
track i'm Walnut street on which cars
run only one way and the Street and
Sewer Directors can see no objection
on the part of the railway company to
running cars both north and south on
this street. both passing French street
station, as they do now.
The other reason for beginning the
work at the upper end of the thor
oughfare is that employees of the Wa
ter Department are digging in French
street, starting at Sixteenth street, and
the Street and Sewer Department viii
follow them down.
The proposition TO remove the troll
ley tracks from French street is look
ed upon with favor and the railway
company is expected to give the sub
iect its earnest consideration. The
company has a franchise to use the
street in question and is under no obli-
cation to remove its tracks
1t is pointed out however, that the
same end can be accomplished by run
ming Front street cars both north and
south on Walnut street, instead OF
simply north. on Walnut street. and
south on French.
