Ellie ne Meurt pas

Les hommes ont voulu enfermer
la nature dams les barrieres con
ventionnplles, mais celle-ci sen
moque. Chaqae aimee, ellie s'appli-
que a prolonger Phiver dams le
pr6tendu printemps; a iutercaler
entire les jours torrides ct radieux
de- la canicule, les larmes ct les
soupirs de lautomne; puis, conti-
nuant a s'amuser a ces transposi-
tions, ellie accueille la chute des
premieres feuilles avec des Jours
tde dquce chaleur ct de soleil in-
cessant.
Les poetes qui, quelquefois, re-
gardent la nature q travers les IL
vres GU ]e calendrier, sont bien in
justes envers pautomne, qu'ils ca
lomnient- sans restrictions, ct bien
partiaux envers le printemps,
qu'ils louent sans reserve.
lis dissent aussi: lhiver c'est la
mort de la terre. Est-ce bien juste' ?
La terre ne meurt pas, parce qu'el-
le ne vieillit pas. Ellie Wit depuis 81
longtemps ct ellie doit vivre pen
dant 81 longtemps encore qu'elle
ma pas q compter avec les heures,
les secondes ct les minutes, CONNIE
nous autres, pauvres etres 6ph6m6-
res. Ellie compte avec les saisons.
LIE printemps, c'est rheure du
r6veil, des tongues ablutions, puis
de la toilette lente ct soign6e, JUS
qua ce qu'elle Sc pare de ses vete-
ments de verdure ct de f1eur.
L'6t6, la nature est a son midi;
ellie porte le poids de la chaleur du
jour ct dome, tot, des signes de
lassitude.
Puts Went lautomne, la s6r6nite
ct les frissons des soirs; la terre
qri ne meurt pas ct ne vieillit me.
me pas, est CONNIE les enfants
qu'on veut coucher: Eelle maine
pas cette saison quand ellie appro.
che de sa fin; ellie Sc d6bat quand
un d un tombent les accessories de
sa royale toilette, ellie Sc r6volte,
ellie tr6pigne ct sa coI6re de geant
s'exprime par des cris ct des
pleurs 81 puissants ct 81 abondants
qu'elle fait peur.
Mais Thiver fait bient0t son lit.
Ellie sly agite quelque peu, encore
sous Ia rigidite du drap blanc ct
ouateux, ellie cache un grouille-
ment de vie intense. Au printemps
les oiseaux revenus la trent par
leur chant de son long assoupise-
ment qui a dur6 des mois ct que
des bourrasques ct des ''poudre-
ries" ont traverse de leurs folles
6quip6es, CONNIE les cauchemars

Non, la terre ne meurt pas.

Lorsque le roi de France, enfer-

ret qui allait le conduire q r6cha-
taud, IL tombait en- roi. La France,
ayant d frapper son souverain. le
touchait d La tete, ct, en- meme
temps que la couronne, abattait le
front qui la portait. Les temps
sont changes. Les revolutions s'a-
doucissent. Les souverains sont
destitu6s, CONNIE des pr6fets; pour
un peu on les mettrait a la retrai-
te. Et en- meme. temps que l'appa-
rell traeique ct sanglant au milieu
duquel disparaissait un Charles
Ter, la grandeur de ceux qui sont
frappes disparait ct s'efface. Un
Napoleon debout sur son rocher
de Sainte-H6lene, est la plus hau.
te victime qu'on ait contempl6e
depuis lie Golg gotha. Et sill n'avait
pas eu ce crucifement, sa gran

porte un coup terrible a toutes les
autocraties. Peut-etre Guillaume
ferait-il bien de m6diter sur cette
sortie lamentable, ct aussi son ]eu-

enfin Ferdinand :.le f6lon, tsar de
Bulgaria, ct mieux que Mascarille

most important part in causing pre-
mature old age and death. The more
injurious the poisons passing, thru the
kidneys the sooner comes decay-so
saws Dr.. Pierce of the Surgical Institute.
Buffalo, y. V, who further advises al!
people who are past thirty to preserve
the vitality OF the kidneys and free
the blood from poisonous elements,
such as uric acid - drink plenty Of
water sweat some daily and take
Anurc, double strength, before meals.
This An-u-ric is late discovery OF
DR.. pierce and is put up in tablet form,
and can be obtained at almost any
drug store. For that backache, lurn-
bago, rheumatiam, rusty" joints, swol
len feet or hands, due TO uric acid in
the blood, .Anuric quickly dissolves the
uric acid as hot water does sugar.
Take q little Anuric before meals and
prolong yonr life. Send 10 cents to
DR.. Pierce for trial package of Anuric,
or write for free medical advice.
