WISCONSIN Law
KNOCKED OUT

Washington, May 22.-The supreme
court announced as unconstitutional
the Wisconsin statute making it the
duty of state officials to revoke tile
license to do business in the state Of
any foreign corporation which shall
remove into any federal court any ac-
ton against it by citizens of the state,
and upon any claim or cause of action
arising within the state.

BILE for state to legislate to deprive
a foreign corporation, doing both
intrastate and inte5statA commerce, of
t1e privilege Of -Gfnovius cases 60 the

years ago, mind you-FIFrY YEARS
AGO-a doctor presented certain
medicine with such good effects that
he carefully studied its action during
several years. finally developing this
formula which he pronounced right.
When the old doctor died, his son, also
a doctor. continued to send the medi-

The medicine has never before been

another of its value. and it has been
sold constantly all these years.

Once more we stand with half
reluctant feet
Upon the threshold of another year;
That line where past and present
seem to meet
In stronger contrast than they do
elsewhere.
Look back a moment-does the pros
pect please.
Or does the weary heart but sigh
regret 7
Can Recollection smile, or i'll at ease
With what is past, wish only to for
get?
Say-canst thou smile when memory's
lingering gaze
Once more recalls the dying year
to sight?
Wouldst thou live DER aagln those
changing days,
Or bid them fade forever into night?
A solemn question-and the faltering
heart
Scarce dares say "Yes," yet will not
quite say "No";
For Joy and sadness both have played
their part
In making up the tale of "long ago."
Here Memory sees the golden sunlight
CLEAN
Across the path OF life and shine
awhile;
And now the picture changes like a
dream,
And sorrow dims the eyes and kills
the smile.

The moaning wind has sung the
dead years dirge;
Times waves roll on against the
erumbling shore,
And sink the WORKOUT bark beneath

or shapely words and lines writ all

Tthis did not seem to have the de-

ran out her tongue and licked my

accident the stool slipped. and I fell
over backwards, and the whole con.

I thought Mrs. Burke would never

in his beak number of narrow red
ribbons, each tied In jaunty bow
about the neck of smaller turkeys
which he drives in front Of him.
The heads of these papier-mache

turkeys filled with small candies. As
a centrepiece for the dinner table they
are very good, particularly, when
children are included among the
guests.
Arranged in the centre Of the table,
with a tiny fence built around them,
or a barrier of small branches of
holly, they are excellent. After the
dinner they may be given as favors
to the guests.
Place cards similarly decorated
with turkeys are also shown In the
