DISSOLVED THE MARRIAGE,
DIVIDED THE PROPERTY

jamestown, Dec. pa case of al
most perfect justice was handed down
in district court Wednesday when
Judge Coffey dissolved the marriage
contract of Lucy Smyth and John R.
Smyth, say local attorneys. Lucy
Smyth asked for divorce and the
bulk Of the property, including her at
torney's fees. This the Judge did not
grant, but dissolved the marriage con-
tract and divided the property evenly
between the two. 1t was shown by the
defense that the property had been
jointly accumulated and that no prop
erty existed when the Smyths came
here some years ago. The property in
cludes a homestead, live stock and
personal property. After the liabili-
ties have been deducted each will re.
ceive about $4,000.

Dancer SIGNAL

If the fire bell should ring would you
run to stop it or go and help to put out
the fire? 1t is much the same way
with cough. A cough is danger sig
nal as much as fire bell. You should
no more try to suppress it than to stop
a fire bell when it is ringing, but
should cure the disease that causes
the coughing. This can nearly always
be done by taking Chamberlain's
Cough Remedy. Many have used it
with the most beneficial results. 1t is
especially valuable for the persistent
cough that so often follows bad cold
or an attack Of the grip. Mrs. Thomas
Beeching, Andrews, Ind, writes:
During the winter my husband takes
cold easily and coughs and coughs.
Chamberlain's Cough Remedy is the
best medicine for breaking up these at
tacks and you cannot get him to take
any other" Obtainable everywhere.

SOME READABLE VERSE
AND THE HEART TO ITS HOME

There's a place a'dream mid the
singing pines,
Where starlight's tangled in blossomy
vines,
And the latch.link Of gate means life
That's sweet with rest from the thun-
der-strife;
Only little Place of Light
When toll is ended and God sends
night
To heal the wounds of the fighting
day
A place where stars and love dreams
stay.
The birds to the nest and the bee to
the comb,
And the heart to it's home!
Flowers, and stars, and dreams that
wait
On the clink of the latch at a vine-
wreathed gate;
And voices of children that seem to
say:
Heaven is never far away!
Not back of the walls Of the world so
bright
1t is here in little place Of light"

mars,
Sweeter than ever was song of stars.
The ship to the harbor from over the
foam,
And the heart to it's home.
And toll is sweet, since the welcome
night
Leads Lies steps to that place of
light;
Its peace is calling; the roses say:
Turn from the stress of the stormy
day
To the peace of the twilight's brooding
wings;
Turn to the path where the heartside
sings"
Oh, that is the path that life knows
best.
Sure and sweet to dream of rest. ***
The bird to the nest and the bee to the
comb
And the heart to its home.

CHRISTMAS DUSK

Come, little boy, to mothers knee,
The Christmas twilight trembles
down
With rose tints for the wondrous tree
And rose glow for the snow clad
town,
And all is marVelous-but you
Most marvellous of all to me,
For l may hold you as do.
AS Mary held him on her knee.
And he was sweet and he was fair,
AS are all mothers little boys;
His lips, his smile, his eyes, his hair,
TO Mary were her chiefest joys,
And she would sing to him as
Sing while the sun dies in the west;
hear your weary, sleepy sigh
AS Mary heard his on her breast.
And in the after years, think,
When he was treading sorrows way
And held the bitter cup to drink
She brooded on the happy day
When he ran singing through the room
And found hundred things to do
To drive away all chance of gloom
And was little boy like you.
So drop your toys and let us sing
The songs that heart and home have
blest,
For love is more than anything
And life is work and play and rest,
And Mary's was the mother heart,
A heart Of love all fair and fine,
That into tender throbs could start
For just little boy like mine.
Across the years l reach to her
And touch her white and empty
hands,
Down all the ages seems to stir
A message that she understands;
The subtle rapture that keep
Shrined in the very soul of me,
When may hold you here, asleep,
AS Mary held him on her knee.
