And cover me with sneering Chafr
Because in these my latter days
l fondly cling to childish ways,
Since he who keeps childhood in

And to its purity is true.
And holds the high faith of a boy
In things of laughter and of joy,
Can ne'er grow old, and finds nc

Home.

The fire in the big, wide chimney.
Nights when the wind wild
Sent flicker the ceiling
Till She on her the child
Came and lighted the lamp by the sofa
On the stand where the books were piled
The flowers the white-clothod table
Ever fresh and fair,
Her hands when she poured the coffee
The sound OF her voice so dear
With news OF the day in the household
Were the letters that held ME there
Small things, they that make a homeside-
y light, a woman, a child.
But they track you across the ocean
And follow you into the wild
They reach and beckon, and draw YOU
Holding you all the while
For homes in a baby's prattlc
And the light OF a woman's smile

the statement of Paris resident

lasting results.

says: my kidneys were inactive
and I had backaches. Doan's Kid
ney Pills put a stop to all the

Over four years later, or on NO
