MY SOLITUDE

I want to ride out in the June time
Where the locust sings in the sun,
Where the curlew calls in the distance
And the placid streamlets run,
Out where there's no conventions;
Out where there's no remorse;
Out where there's peace and sunshine;
Alone, with God and my horse.
| want to ride out in the morning
While the dew is on the grass,
And spend the day with Nature,
Away from the care that harrass,
Up where the air is sweetest;
Up where the pine trees grow;
Up where there's rest and plenty
And the birds sing soft and low.
| want to ride out in December
When the wind blows sharp and cold,
Where the Frost King reigns in triumph
Away from the Preside fold.
Down the echoeing canyon;
Down by the frozen streams;
Down where the path is smooth and
With nothing to do but dream.
O. Lord wilt Thou have compassion
On us of the savage trend,
Spare us a lonely hillside
And cayuse for a friend.
Back where there's no hard pavements
Back where the rattlers hide;
Oh. may we ride in the open
Till we cross the Great Divide.

Glycerine and Bark
Prevent Appendicitis

The simple mixture of buckthorn
bark, glycerine, etc, known as Adler
i-ka, astouishes Blackfoot people. Be-
cause Adler-i-ka acts on BOTH lower
and upper bowel, ONE SPOONFUL
relieves almost ANY CASE of consti-
patton, sour stomach or gas. 1t re-
moves such surprising foul matter that
a few doses often relieve or prevent
appendicitis. A short treatment helps
chronic stomach trouble. The IN
SLANT, easy action of Adler-i-ka is
astonishing. Edw. Thoreson, druggist.
