there was marvel silence in the house.
Then on the instant there came color.

said certain words,-some words of lifting

The Coming 7ower
Forty Napier

Forty Maples
A Yankee farmer fourscore years ago
Set forty naples by the highway-sids;
Twenty tall saplings stood in either row;
The farmer viewed them with silent
pride.
They grew apace; there children school
ward bound
Loitered in spring to pick the blood-root
flowers;
There many bird found sanctuary ground,
And laborers refuge from the sudden
showers.
They waxed'in size and beauty; when the
beams
OF our midsummer suns Implying beat:
Here dusty drivers paused to rest their
teams,
And cattle sought a shelter from the
heat.
They statelier spread; when autumn's
pageant came,
And all our valley donned its festal Dress
Rose forty pillars lit with crimson flame,
TO stir mans spirit by their loveliness.
But years passed, and the farm fell to
hind
prosperous, pushing hind from over
seas,
Who, with the dull contempt that marks
his kind,
Felled in his blasphemy those forty trees.
At times like that ones peaceful spirit
longs
For the fierce justice of an elder day,
For the stern sense that trhed not with
wrongs,
And did not deem that punishment is
play
Who, save for need, destroys goodly tree,
Does mischief; and who wantonly may kill
Forty such trees does murder, and should
be
Hanged forty fathom high on Gallows
Hill. G. S. B.

WIFE WE|GHEDB BUT 76POUNDS, HE SAYS After Suffering 25 Years She Takes Tanlac and Gains 29 Pounds-Not
 Like Same Person

My wife has gained 29 pounds and now we just set back and talk about the happy days Tanlac has brought us," said L. A. Beatty of Selmer, Tenn
 q just want to say that I have no doubt that Taniac has saved my wife s live. I have tried verything-traveled looks bright as silver dollars to us. Twenty-Five years ago she was given up to die and I have been told every year since that time that she couldn't life. l have tried verything-traveled all over the country with her--and spent great sums of money, but noth- ing did her ary good. She had run down to where she weighed only 76 pounds.
 T saw Tanlac advertised bought it for her and she soon commenced to pick up and now she weighs 105 pounds-has actually gained 29 pounds. I wish you could have seen her before she took Tanlac and then see her now, you wouldn't take her for the same person Before, she couldn't do anything, but now she does all her housework and tends to her flowers and yard full of chickens besides.
 T can prove what I say is true by my county officials and lots of other people. You may know it makes me feel good to see my wife we'll and en- toying life after suffering for years and I honestly believe that Taniac is the best medicine on earth. I'm just q walking, talking booster for Tanlec because of what it has done for us ard I have been the cause of many others taking it. Later on I may tell you how I happened to pass an old friend ; house and recommended it to him. He had given up, but he's o. k. today. This can be proven, too. Well, I could write columns and then not tell half But let me say again I believe Tanlac is the grandest medicine on earth and will answer anybody's letter and tell them just what I have written you.''
