Somebody said that it couldn't be done,
But he, with chucke, replied
That maybe it couldn't, but he would be
Who wouldn't say so till he tried;
So he buckled right in. with of grin
On his face. If he worried he hid it,
He started to sing he tackled the thing
That couldn't be done-and he did it.
Somebody scoffed, ooh, you'll never do that;
At least no one ever has done it,
But he took off his coat and he took off his hat,
And the first thing we knew he'd begun it.
With the lift of his chin and bit of grin,
Without any doubling of quiddt,
He started to sing as he tackled the thing
That couldn't be done-and he did it.
There thousands to tell you it cannot be done;
There thousands to prophesy failure
There thousands to point out to you by one,
The dangers that wait to assa you.
But just buckle in with bit of a grin,
Then take off your coat and go to it;
Just start in to sing as you tackle the thing
That cannot be done-and you'll do it.-Tid Bits.

Scene of the Lexington Massacre
The editor this summer had the
pleasure of visiting Lexington Green
in Eastern Massachusetts,, where Brit
ish regulars first fired on American
colonists. Here on the 18th of April,
ITS, regiment of eight hundred
British regulars dispatched from Bos-
ton by General Gage to sieze stores
of ammunition supposed to have been
hidden in Concord by the colonists,
were met by seventy provincials.
Failing to dispense on command,
the patriots were fired on by the
British and sixteen of them were

killed. This, the "Battle" of Lex
ington, fired the country and within a
short time an army of sixteen thou
sand men had gathered about Boston,
the first organized defiance of British
rule in America.
Fine state roads lead to Lexington
from every direction and every road
has its historic points and scenes.
Many of the original houses about
Lexington Green are still standing and
are still fine residences. The white
house seen in the picture is the Har-

The minister arrived at the last mo-

given up and gone to sleep. The ba-

the ceremony proceeded. 1t went off

Ordinarily everybody knows what
reasonable doubt means, and what
the law means when it says that the
prisoner cannot be convicted if the
jury has reasonable doubt of his in

a dozen instructions on reasonable
doubt it is clear that nobody could
understand what it meant.

about a doctrine of the church said:

that the confused jury goes out to
find a verdict. taking with them an
armful of instructions. Half of these
instructions will tell them that if they
believe certain things. they must find
the prisoner guilty, and the other half
will tell them that if they believe other
things, they must acquit the prisoner;
and sometimes these instructions will
be so drawn that, upon the statement
of the same beliefs, one instruction
tells them to acquit the prisoner and
the other tells them to convict him.

Eating meat regularly eventually

because the uric acid in meat excites
the kidneys, they become overworked;

bothers you, get about four ounces Of

take a tablespoonful in a glass of
water before breakfast for a few days
and your kidneys will then act fine
This famous salts is made from the
acid of grapes and lemon juice, COM
bined with lithia, and has been used
for generations to flush clogged kid

healthy blood. If only every woman

Instead of the thousands of sickly,

of real hot water with a teaspoonful
of limestone phosphate in it to wash

have a pallid, sallow complexion and
who are constipated very often, are
urged to obtain a quarter pound of
limestone phosphate from any drug

but a trifle but is sufficient to demon
strate the quick and remarkable
change in both health and appearance
