REORGANIZATION.

We live but once upon this
earth, this once we're sure we're
here; some say that we'll come
back and be a rabbit or deer,
a fish, reptile or a bird, polli-
wog or goat, while others think
that we vamoose, and through
the ether float. Again it's said
we'll play harp, a trombone or
a flute-the guy who loves his
music would thus be a lucky
coot. But we would rather WELD
the pen, than be bird or carp,
Or play upon the piccolo, the
trombone or the harp; and get

reason why? Lend us a lug
we'll slip it unto thee. Hard
work has made us happy, it has

SUNSET ON LAKE SUPERIOR
Writer Enthuses Over Beautiful Pic.
ture Painted by Old Sol at the
Close of the Day.

A sunset on Lake Superior! Match
it, in it's respondent beauty on a late
November day, if you can. The clouds
that had darkened the sun as the
TranscOntinental Limited sped along
the precipitOus shores, melted away,
leaving narrow Streaks, like ribbons of
gray floating above the waters rim.
Dappled gray clouds in masses chung
to the zenith. The slowly setting sun
began to paint it's own heroic picture.
The ribbons Of clouds changed from
gray to pearl, from pearl to amethyst
and then to richest gold. The convo-
luted masses overhead wildly reflect
ed these changes. The quiet waters Of
the lake shone like mirror of pol
ished bronze. The sun was sinking
fast. While the passengers were voic-
ing their delight, the last ray of the
sun disappeared, and lake and rocky
shore sank into the shadows of night.
AS the train climbed above the lake it's
waters were left out Of the range of
vision, but, strangely enough, the lake
seemed to appear again in the dis
lance, with low-hilled islands outlined
in a faint glow of red. We discov-
cred that what seemed to be islands
were floating clouds, and what seemed
to be the water in which they rested
was an illusion. It was caused by the
clear atmosphere lit by the gray light
Of fast-falling eventide. It was beau
tiful and impressive, but an illusion
that quickly disclosed itself and melt
ed away as the train sped on.-John

Proper Care Of Rupbers.

NubberS should not be dried where
it is too warm, nor should they be left
cAl;cd with mud and dirt. When rub
hcrS become faded and dingy, some
people renew them by rubbing with
vaseIinc. If this is done, it should be
promptly Mbbed off and the rubber
polished dry, on account of the effect
of the greasy substance. A quick pol

About Constipation.

Certain articles of diet tend to
check movements of the bowels. The most
common of these are cheese, tea and boiled
milk. On the other hand raw fruits, especially
apples and bananas, also graham bread and
whole wheat bread promote movement of
the bowels. When the bowels are badly con-
stipated however, the sure way is to take one
or two of Chamberlain's Tablets Immediately
after supper.

starting easy lacks the push

adig, a Mesopotamian Predecessor Of Sherl

Bv j. NW. MULLER

A Warder ran to the knight, who was
wan and broken from long hours of un-
availing grief. ooh, sir!' cried the
man. There is before the draW-bridge
most wondrous lovely woman, clad
richly in scarlet and gold. Never have
we seen any so slim, so dainty, so
sweet! And, lord, she rides On your
horSe!''
The knight bounded down the stairs
and through the portal. He lifted down
the bride, kissing her hundred times
and more. Then he sent for q chaplain
and led her to the chapel Of his house
where they were married forthwith.
In the meantime, there was wild
trouble among the wedding party. The
old lord and the old bridegroom tore
their boards and laid Justify with whip
and boot on the guards, who made mad
clamor, blaming each other. To them
at last Spurred a rider sent by Messire
William with this message:
"Sir, my master sends you assur-
ance Of his great friendship. He also
charges me to say to his uncle, who
betrayed him SO shamefully, that he
pardons him the more easily for the
reason that your daughter has given
herself to him as gift this day"
The old lord listened with wonder
and anger. But he took thought to
himself, and concluded that since she
was married, nothing he could do
would undo it. Therefore, presently,
all the company rode peacefully to the
knights castle, where the old noble
embraced his undesired son-in-law with
all courtesy, while the graybeard of a
bridegroom who was not bridegroom
tried in vain to discover a few crumbs
of comfort that might console him.
Failing in this, he went home and
died, which was q favor to MeSsire
William, since all his wealth went to
the knight. And there is no trouba-
dour in Champagne who ever has told
or sung this story who was not forced
to add, in accordance with the truth,
that there never was a horse in all the
world that was so honOred and beloved
as the horse that stole the bride and
brought her to her bridegroom.
