THE DANGER WELL.

Rose and Susie sat in the parlor OF
Aunt Clara's home. Rose squirmed as
she said, ST do wish mother was here,
Aunt Clara thinks the sun is bad for
little girls such as we are, and she won't
let us play in the shady garden until it
is thoroughly cleaned out. Oh, / am so
unhappy" $50 am l." said her twin
sister, "but try to make the best OF
it. Auntie told me she was going to
have Robert clean out the garden to-
day." At this moment Violet came
into the room, announcing that lunch
was served The twins and Violet then
left the room and entered the dining
room. Aunt Clara sat at the table, and
seeing the children, rose and gave each
a hearty kiss. "Now, my dears, you
may play in the garden. Robert has
cleaned it out already" she said smiling
The twins almost jumped for joy, and
Susie said, her face beaming with joy:
"What did tell you, Rose? Didn'5 say
Aunt Clara was going to have Robert
clean the garden out? Aren't you
glad?" .sI certainly am,'' said Rose.
They ate their lunch with unusual haste,
and ran out into the delightful garden
1t was indeed very beautiful. Roses,
violets, pansies. lilies and honey-suckle
grew in it. OF course Rose liked the
roses best, and Susie liked the lilies
best. In the middle of the garden,
stood huge stump where tree used
to stand. Rose climed up, and from the
top she could see over the garden wall.
A little distance away was a large,
round brick wall. "Lock, Susie, look,
she cried. 81 see huge, round wall,
a 1. 7 oft
Clara won't mind" Susie consented,
SO they looped hands and ran through
the garden gate toward the strange OBJ
ject. 1t proved to be terribly high and
round. Susie ran around it, and at last
found small door. A moment later
found her inside of the wall. In the
middle stood a well. d ANG E.R was
written above it. But Susie was only 5
years old, so she couldn't read it. The
water was golden color, and Susie was
just going to drink some, when her
sisters voice sounded from with
out. HSusie, Susie, where are you?'
'sIn the WALL How did you get in?"
'sBy a little door," Rose found the
door and ran In. She looked at the sign
and said, .sSEelI, Susie, can you read?
don't know what that sign means, but |
know it means danger. Let's go home |
luick.'' The children took hands and |
an home. Aunt Clara stood at the |
gate. nWell children, where have you
3een?', They told their story, and I
Auntie them this. ssDear children, do |
rou not know that whoever drinks that
water will die? 'Tis good thing Rose
'alled you, naughty Susie. It she
Iadn't you would be lying dead on the
old ground q Susie remembered that
esson. She never left the garden
gain, and grew up fair young Lady
nd SO did Rose.

In MEMORY OF EARLE MILLER,
Nine Year-Old Son Of Rev. and
Mrs. A. H. Miller, of Gainesville.

Jesus heart is touched by sorrow
AS it was in Bethany,
For He bears our pains and sorrows
AS He did on Calvary.
All, He groans when we are burdened
Underneath a load of care,
Yet He helps us bear these burdens
Everytime we come in prayer.
Saddened parents, weeping children,
Jesus knows just how you feel
Since Dear Earle has gone to Glory,
Answering to his Lords appeal.
Earle was like little angel
Sent to you to bear his love;
And he made your home like Heaven
Then returned to God above.
He was like pretty blossom,
Scattering sunshine everywhere;
Taken from this earth to Heaven,
Still to bloom so sweet and fair.
He was here child of beauty,
Fairer than the snow white dove;
But to-day we know he's fairer
AS he lives with Christ above.
Now me thinks I see the angels
Gathering round the Snow white
Throne,
Just to see the smiles of Jesus
AS He claims him now his own.
Taking him into His bosom,
Giving him a crown SO fair
Just to see this scene of Glory
Bring swee. sunshine anywhere.
Tho we miss him for a season,
All, the time will not be long
Till he comes again with Jesus
In that great and happy throng.
Then again we'n meet together,
Nevermore to part;
And we'll live so glad'iu Heaven,
Hand in hand, heart in heart.
AS we know he lives with Jesus
We can say Dear Earle Goodbye
We will meet you soon in Heaven
In that Blessen BY and By.
So we'll bear for thee this sorrow,
And the separating pain:
For we knowit brings thee Heaven,
And we know we'll meet again.

THERE'S No SENSE
IN TAKING CALOMEL

Do6son's Liver Tone will fix up your
liver safely and won't "knock you out"
a day. A man feels very little like
working and a child don't want to go to
school when bilious or constipated. If
you try calomel to cure you, the chances
are that you will be SO weakened by its
after effects that you will be laid up for
two or three days more. So we say
"Don't take Calomel!" You can get
perfect remedy to take the place Of
Calomel at L. A. de Montluzin's Sons,
that is guaranteed to relieve constipa-
tion and liven up the liver just as quickly
as calomel, but without any of the bad
after effects OF caIomel. The name of
the medicine is Dodson's LiYer Tone.
It is a pleasant tasting vegetable tonic
that mildly stimulates the liver and
causes it to work just right without any
danger of saliYation. Ii il doesn't fully
satisfy you, you may have your money
back from the store where you bought
Dodson's.
A wide circle OF friends will gladly
welcome the return OF Mrs. Abrams,
who has been spending the past few
months with her son in California, and
will visit her daughter, Mrs. L. M. Pow
er, on the beach front.
