FAITH.

Art thou so weary of thy gilded bars As wonder bird within it's swinging
 cage? Art thou so settled as the fixed stars, That know of life naught but their
 narrow gauge? What are the chains that hold thee
 from the mart, That bind thee close and still thy
 upward flight? Does rancor fasten in thy secret heart And cloud thy day till everything is
 night? Hast thou no goal no aim or secret joy. ThatDwrestles with thy soul to give
 it birth? Hast thou no castle in far Spain to
 buoy
 Thy sinking soul, distraught in seas of worth? Come, gird thy foins with hope, all F fears remove, Take courage from the lives of hon. r est men: Attune the discord of thy life with
 love, And SOW the seeds of faith and
 strength again.

 Once upon time there was a big
 storm. It showed all night and in
 the morning aII the trees and houses were covered with thick soft snow. WilIie's father looked out at the fields and said. willie, this is a good day to try your new snowshoes- I will go with you ,and we will have
 Willie was so delighted he could hardly eat any breakfast or wait to get on his coat and cap- They walk ed little ways out to the edge of the woods and then stopped to strap on their snow shoes. Willie started t@f fol low his father but found it was much
 harder than it looked to walk on snowshoes and it seemed as though he would fall at each step.
 All at once he ripped and down he went bump in the snow, and as his l feet flew up the end of one snowsho De | hit him hard on his head. He start | ed to cry but as he saw his father | laughing he thought it wasn't very manly to cry and he began to laugh and pick himself up as best he could. His father helped him to his feet and showed his just how to walk in | them and soon they were skipping g | along quite fast and WilIie's father told him he had learned very quick Iy-
 They met lots of others on snow shoes and at the top of a. hill they all took hold of hands and slid down
 as fast as possible. Some of them fell and were covered with snow but they all laughed and no one minded the spills.
 When it was time to start for home Willie had gotten so he could walk quite fast and asked his father to race with him. They started at the top of the hill and away they went, Willie
 in the lead. About half way down, toes of his snowshoes caught deep in the snow, and the more he tried to move them the deeper in they went.
 There he stood his toes in the snow and the long ends sticking. up high in the air. Willie had found how l hard 1t was to get up after he had fallen with them on so he waited un- l til his father came and uf*ed hira sut

Don't Trust CalOlaeI
Thousands Experience Bad Af- ter Effects From This
 Dangerous Drug.
A Safe Vegetable Substitute is Dr. Ed wards Olive Tablets for the Liver

pr. F. M. Edwards, a prominent physician of Ohio, has discovered a laxative and liver toner in a combina- ton of vegetable materials mixed with olive oil, which is in effect almost ex- actly like caloInel, except that. there are none of the bad after effects.
 Dr. Edwards has long been foe of ca1omel, though he recognized its val ue along with it's dangers
 His distrust of the uncertain drug eventually started him, years ago, to- wards experiments with the view of discovering a substitute and he has been for several years in possession of the Iong-sought-for combination which is in the shape of little sugar coated, oIive-colored tablet.
 The results of IT years experience and practice are embodied in these marvellous little tablets.
 They are called Dr. Edwards Olive Tablets. And their effect on the Hv- CT has been the means of relief to many of pr. Edwards regular pa tients as well as to thousands of oth- CTS who have suffered and were afraid of calomeI.
 There is no necessity, when you take pr. Edwards Olive Tablets, by following them up with nasty, sicken- ing, gripping salts, or castor oil, as you do after taking calome1. Try them 10c and 25c per box. The Olive Tab let Company, Columbus, O.-Adv.

BEAUTY CHATS
HOT WATER AN
 INTERNAL CLEANSER.
By Blanche Beacon.


 My to-day's model is living .testi- mony of the efficacy of my favorite hot water fad.
 4 year ago she was wretchedly run down and visibly discouraged. At my suggestion she began a simple hot water treatment, together with deep breathing, in plenty of fresh air, since when she has steadily gained in health and looks.
 AS an internal cleansing agent there is no more efficient medium for flushing out the internal organs and at the same time stimulating them, without any harmful reaction.
 Just as a soup at dinner prepares the stomach for the heavier foods that follow it. so a. cup of hot water slipped slowly while dressing before breakfast r1nses out the stomach and intestines and prepares them for the acceptance Of food If there is an unpleasant taste in the. mouth or an offensive breaths dissolve a pinch or a small tablet of charcoal in the hot water
 Hot water taken between meals is advised for those who suffer from rheHmaat1em. The juice of half a lemon in e cup of hot water isysaid to both help rheumatism and often ward of bilious attack. This is also taken by women who are reducing their weight.
 For indigestion cup of hot water IS a gentle tonic. It prevents congeS- tion and acts refreshin g1y kon the system For acute indigestion, dis solve one or two tablets of bicarbon- ate of soda in cup of hot water. Pain in the stomach or intestines is often routed by taking a cup of hot water with sweet spirits Of lavender, mint or bfcarbonate of soda; use the hot water bag externally.
 To prevent discoloration from bruises, hot. water cloths should be applied as soon as possible and renew ed often When the finger is pinch ed thrust 1t in and out of water, as hot as you can stand This win relieve the extreme pain more quickly than anything else. Truly, hot water is natures sovereign remedy.

Gather ye rosebuds while ye may,
 Old Time is still a-flying,
 And this same flower that smiles to-
 day
 Tomorrow will be dying
 Then be not coy, but use your time,
 And while ye may, go marry;
 For having lost but once your prime,
 You may forever tarry.'
 While a girl is in her teens love is a fair game. When would-be Wooers flock about her, she thinks their hon. age is due her. She is not serious, and regards all that is said to her in the same light vein- She laughs in the face of the bashfuf young man who struggles with words to try to make her understand his admiration for her. She is amused at the two who are almost at swords points. wy ing with each other for her favor. The man of thirty she leads a merry dance. As for the older man, she laughs in his face, wondering at his presumption ins thinking June could ever wish to be linked to November. The pretty young thing takes no heed of time; nor does it cause her a. re- gret when one lover drops off. She believes the loss of one is the gaining of two and the choice of half a dozen
 As the years rush onward, she finds that five years have made quite a dif- ference in her life. The men of the younger set fight shy of her, casting their eyes at younger girls. The man of thirty is no longer: at her. beck and call. She has to invent pretty devices to keep him at her side. She no longer laughs or leases him when she finds him in a serious mood, but en- courages it.
 Her eyes are opened to the fact, at last, as to why she is single. Her own 1evity has discouraged each and everyone. There is a, time for mirtn, there is also a. time for earnestness, tent upon proposing is agreeable to the girl, aye more--if there turks in her heart the. thought that he is d little. dearer to her than any of her friends.
 Women should not play the part of a. coquette too long. The lass of six speaks to her Of love, for her heart is sleeping She knows nothing of the grand passion. The young woman of six and twenty should not crush a wooer's hopes with one fell blow. Her chances of matrirnony are narrowing down to one man most likely. It doesn't do the spinster much good to look back and count the lovers whom she has sent from her. While it is true that there is always one chance of. matrimony for woman no mat ter how old she may be, it is we'll for her to reeollect that love and laughter belong to youth time. The same, mannerism would send an older suitor from her. She. would blame

 On June 20th was engaged to mar ry a young man but broke it off be- cause was going away. Since my re- turn he is somewhat distant with me. Do you think it would be right for me to make up with him again
