Pills For Automobiles.
philadelphia Ledger

Here's the latest! A chemist in New
York displays check paid for his in
vention to prove that he has devised a
solicited gas which can be nodded into
pills. cigar box full of these pills
costing $50, will take an automobi Q all
the way across America. The inven-
ton will be rapturously hailed, not
merely by automobile owners, but by
those who have not felt able to afford
car. Mr. Dooley has told US that all
the delights of sleeping-car travel can
be enjoyed by any one who will put a
cindeg in his eye and recline upon the
mantlepiece. Similarly, all the sensa-
tions of an easy and costless Joy ride
may be experienced, no doubt, by mere
ly swallowing a couple of these pills.
With closed eyes the captive magma
ton will perceive the delicious aroma
OF gasoline in combustion, the, tympan-
um will be agreeably shocked by the
conclusion of exploding tires, and it
only remains to address to ones self
now and then summons to appear in
court and pay fine in order to omplete
the realism. The cost of the garage and
the salary OF the chauffeur may be
struck from the budger and the money
saved may be devoted to the black dia-
mond and pearl necklace. Soon at the
nearest drug store, the upholstered
limousine will be awaiting the with
drawal OF the cork, and the victims of
engaged in putting |
great mileage between themselves and
like wounded men upon a battlefield.

In Memory of
Herman V. Matthews.

A loved one from us has gone.
A voice we loved is stilled
A place is vacant in the home
Which never can be filled.
The golden gates were opened
wide.
A gentle voice said, Come"
And angels from the other side
Welcome our loved one home.
Heaven now retains our treasure,
Earth the lonely casket keeps;
And the sunbeams long to linger
Where our darling brother
sleeps.
Dearest one we have laid thee
In the peaceful graves embrace,
But thy memory shall be cherished
Till we see thy heavenly tace.
Like the flower he passed away
Destroyed in all his bloom:
He left this world and all his
friends
To moulder in the tomb.
Again we hope to meet thee
When our work on earth is done,
And in heaven with JOY to greet
thee
Where no farewell tears are
shed.
