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 luxry is supplied.
And often listens to words of praise
From men who are proud and from
ladies fair.
But she doesn't forget to sometimes
gaze
Through mist of tears at little high
chair,
The way is far to the cottage which
Was gladdened once by a laughing
child,
Where abe learned to envy the happy
rich,
In distance 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
past
All save poor, cheap, little high
chair.
She lives where servants obey her calls
Where the proud assemble, and all is
bright,
Where masterpieces adorn the walls,
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 a mist of
tears,
She looks at poor, cheap, little
high-chai r.-EX.

HOW COLD CAUSES
KIDNEY DISEASE

Partly by driving blood from
the surface and congesting the
kidneys, and partly by throwing
too much work upon them.
Foley Kidney Pills strengthen
the kidneys, give tone to the uri-

NAL action of the bladder. They
are tonic in action, quick in re
suits. Try them.

the all-comerS' national championship
tournament was clinched for the Casino

management which Bob Wrenn has shown
in running off the meeting in seven days
of play. beginning with a field OF l59

much OF the old harsh criticism Then.
too, his good work was aided by the
diplomacy OF Edwin t. Torrey. Richard

so that the clambake turned into a ratfi-
