y ACROSS THE RIVER. =

The Rivers looking stormy wide, and
frownin' is the sky,
Put on the other sides "the Land
where our possessions lie;"
And we seem to hear the singin', like
an echo from the Blue;
'On the other side of Jordan there is
Rest for you'll"
We lay aside our sorrow-the sorrow
of the years,
The shadows hiding heaven-the life
long rain of tears;
AT last, the journey snded, the Land
of Loves in view;
'On the other side of Jordan. there is
rest for you"
III.
The rest that's for the weary, who
count earth's gain as loss;
To whom its darkness is as light that
sanctifies a cross;
The travellers of Heavens highway in
paths the Master knew
"Cn the other side of Jordan there is
Rest for you!"
".
The old-time music ringin' in the sweet
old-fashioned way,
Till we hear a sweeter singin' than has
ever blest LIES day;
The notes that give the comfort when
the seems dim and long
And you may not glimpse Lies lilies
where the thorns, so wounding,
throng.
v.
Joy in that music's echo and everlast-
ing Peace,
The Rivers waves subsiding-the SOL
emn thunders cease;
And so we bear the burdens, with
that higher hope in view;
"On the other side of Jordan there is
Rest for you'll"

WATCH YOUR STEP" GREEN
WOOD THEATRE TONIGHT.

Syncopation, pretty girls, wonder
full costumes, delightful dances and
song hits that you will hum in spite
of yourself-there you have a few of
the ingredients in the merry melange
of melody and mirth, "Watch Your
STEP" which was presented at the
Theatre Vendome last night.
There is a very thin plot in the play
as a beginner, but it soo is lost, and
the audience is given a treat in sing
ing, dancing and reveling in a bevy of
beautiful women such as have rarely
been seen or any stage.
Hannah Leech doesn't sound like a
perfectly gorgeous and wonderful
dancer, but on the other hand is more
like a demure miss in a village with
a poke-bonnet on her shoulders. But
Hannah Leech is the name Of a dancer
who will long be remembered by those
who witnessed Watch Your Step last
night. She was forced to repeatedly
respond to encores.
Watch Your Step is a musical COM
edy about which too much cannot be
said, for it is the most delightful of
all the comedies which have appeared
here this season. 1t is being presented
this afternoon, and tonight's show
will conclude the Nashville engage

II am 70 years old and hadn't been
able to strike a lick of work for over
IA years until I got taking this Tan
lac medicine" said Mr.. H. W. Miller,
at Jacobs Pharmacy, recently.
fourteen years ago l had a terri
bic spell of typhoid fever, and since
that time I hadn't been able to use
my right arm to do any good. 1t
felt weak and numb and l had no
strength in it, but I didn't get Tanlac
for this trouble, as l had no idea l
would ever be able to use it again.
II bought it for kidney trouble,
rheumatism and pains in my back.
Well, it relieved me of these troubles
alright, but, strange to say, it help
ed my arm, too. Yes, sir, it has act
ually made my arm SO much better
that l can now do a lot of work.
something I hadn't been able to do in
all these years. / don't know how to
account for it, but that's what act
nally happened, and all my neighbors
who have known me for years will
tell you the same things.
"Going back to my other trouble, I
suffered a great deal from my back
and joints, and was so nervous
all the time I couldn't sleep much.
! would get so ncrvoas
and strung-up that the least noise
would almost make me jump out of
bed before I could control myself.
Ny stomach was all out Of shape,
too, and ! couldn't eat to do N
good. Nothing seemed to taste
right, and I got so finally | would
have vomiting spells after trying to
eat. To tell you the truth, l was in
a mighty bad fix and was just getting
weaker and weaker all the time.
don't feel that way now, and after
taking only three bottles of this Tan.
lac, / have gained 10 pounds in
weight, besides my stomach feels just

according to age, sex and occupation.
Nor is the individual the only unit to
be taken into account. 1t takes more
to feed thirty persons living alone
than it does to feed thirty persons
living in household groups. The mere
number of inhabitants, given in form
er censuses provides no indication of
the. number Of households nor of the
average size Of the latter in different
localities. Accurate data of the most
diverse sort must be obtained by

Heres to the friends we've loved the

To maidens dark and maidens fair.
The eternal feminine everywhere:
And the face that floats in q mystic
gaze,
Through all the dreams Of u COL
lege days"
