The Great Guest Came.

The Great Guest Came.
While the cobbler unused there
passed his pane.
A beggar drenched by the driving
rain;
He called him in from the stormy
street,
And gave him shoes for his bruised
feet.
The beggar went on, there came a
crone,
Her face with wrinkles of sorrow
soWn;
A bundle of fagots bowed her back,
And she was spent with the wrench
and rack.
He gave her his loaf and steadied
her load.
And she took her way on the weary
road.
Then to his door came a little child,
Lost and afraid in the world so wild
In the big dark world. Catching it up
He gave it milk in the waiting cup,
And led it home to its mothers arms
Out of reach of the worlds alarms.
The day went down in the crimson
west,
And with it the hope of the blessed
Guest.
And Conrad sighed as the world
turned gray;
why, is it, Lord, that Your feet
delay?
Did You forget that this was the
day."
Then soft, in the silence, a voice
he heard
Lift up~your heart for I kept My
word.
Three times | came to your friend
| ly door;
Three times My shadow was on
your floor;
was the beggar with bruised feet
! | was the woman you gave to eat
| was the child on the homeless
street" Edwin Markham.

When Baby's Hhir Was Cut.

The day they cut the baby's hair
The house was all a-fidget;
Such fuss they made, you would
have said
He was a king-the midget!
Some wanted this; some wanted that
Some thought that it was dread
full
To lay hand upon a strand
Of all that precious headful.
While others said to leave curl
Would be the height of folly,
Unless they put him with the girls
And called him Sue or Mollie.
The BARRIERS shears went snip-a-snip
The golden fluff was flying.
Grandmother had trembling lip,
And Aunt was almost crying.
The menfolks said, Why, hello
Boy,
You're looking five years older!"
But mother Rugged the shaven
head
Close up against her shoulder.
All, well; the nest must lose its
birds,
The cradle yield its treasure;
Time will not stay single day,
For any pleader's pleasure.
Aad when the hours work was
weighed,
The scales were even, maybe;
For father gained a little man, !
When mother lost her baby.

The Candle Stone.

A woman writer who was brought
up in South Africa says that she
and her brothers and sisters had, as
one of their playthings, a bright
stone that they called the candle
stone. 1t was about the size of a
walnut and would flash in a bright
and singular way when held up to
the light. Not until the children
had grown up and the candle stone
had been lost for years did any of
them realize that it was a diamond
of immense value. The Kimberley
mines were in the unknown future
but this stone had perhaps been
washed down by some torrent or
brought by chance from that region.

one MILLION DOLLARS
FOR A GOOD STOMACH
This Offer Should Be a Warning to
Every Man and Woman.

The newspapers and medical
journals recently have had much to
say relative to a famous millionaire's
offer of million dollars for a new
stomach.
This great multi-millionaire was
too busy to worry about the condi-
ton Of his stomach. He allowed
his dyspepsia to run from bad to
worse until in the end it became
incurable.
His misfortune serves as a warn
ing to Others.
Every one who suffers with dys-
pepsia for a few years will give
everything he owns for new stom-
ach.
Dyspepsia is commonly caused
by an abnormal state of the gastric
juices, or by lack of tone in the
walls of the stomach. The result
is that the stomach loses its power
to digest food.
We are now able to supply GER
tain missing elements to help to
restore to the gastric juices their
digestive power, and to aid in max
ing the stomach strong and well.
We know that Rexall Dyspepsia
Tablets are most dependable rem
edy for disordered stomachs, indi-
gestion and dyspepsia.
We want you to try them and
will return your money if you are
not more than satisfied with the re-
suit.
Three sizes, rs cents, so cents,
and 500. Remember. you can
obtain Rexall Remedies in this
community only at our store The

MILWAUKEE,, Wis, June Cit is
a peculiar coincidence that the two
men who are fighting for the champion
chip Of the world have had the same
number of battles, blu. JohnSon's record
stands out the best by considerable.
Flynn originally gave out his age born
In 1879, but recently he claimed that was
an error, that he was born in 1850, which
would make him three years younger than
Johnson. 1t was considered by many that
Johnson was much older than Flynn but
according TO these records the colored
man is not very far from the fireman
as to age, but it is doubtful whether he
has taken the care of himself that Flynn
has. There is no longer any uneaSipcsS
about the contest being stopped. for Gov.
Mcdonald of New Mexico has publicly
announced that there will be no inter
ference and that the contest will take
place July at Las Vegas as originally
planned The two men have been train
ing there for some time, and reports have
1t that they are in good coQdition. There
is no reason to believe otherW se, for
Johnson would be u fool to jeopardize
his championship title by ignoring his
training. and FLYNN could not afford to
be in anything but the best of condition.

say that Johnson is not only a > TO /

thing in his favor, having beaten Flynn

Sciepce, with longer reach, in fact, every
thing fa|ors the colored man. There is
only one drawback IN his case. and there
IS 20 certainty about that. The drawback
is regarding his inner condition-that is,
the condition of bis stomach and the
stamina he may have. That is the one
point that favors Jim Flynn. 1t is up to
the Pueblo fireman, who has a wonder
full amount of endurance to act entirely
