 He finally decided. after years Of ceaseless study. tlfot no None can be free from rheumatism until the ac- cumdlated impurities. cornmonly called uric acid deposits, were dissolved in the joints and muscles and expelled from the body
 With this idea, in mind. he consulted physicians. made experiments and final ly compounded a prescription that quickly and completely bapished every sign and symptom of rheumatism from his system.
 He freely gave his discovery to others who took it. With what might be. called marvellous success After years of urging. he decided to let suf- erats everywhere know about his dis ooverY through the newspa pers Lee & Ossood Company has been appointed agents fur Allearhu in this vicinity with the understanding that they will freely return the purchase money to all who state they raHsivAd ha Aenefft

 One day as she was coming back from the store she passed him and went into the hall to take off her coat and hat. He didn't happen to notice her go through the room. While she was still in the hall she heard him say: wen. if that isn't dirty trick I don't know what is one .''
 She wondered what could be the mat ter. And then she heard him get up and went to see what the trouble was.

POETRY. THE HIRBY-GURDY HORSE.

THE HCRDY-GURDY HORSE. Whirl, twiFl round goes the wheel As the organ-man grinds with his hand Hum drum on the tunes run. While his old horse stands still in the sand. So still he stands there in his neat coat of brown, With it's spot of white shining before, Not muscle he moves. nor turns his head,
 As he stands there in front of my door Bees buzz around on their way to the flowers,
 But he needs not the bird CT the bee ; He just keeps on lowing his clever, kind face,
 4 philosopher, truly is he. Clash Dash! the children run With wild shout from the carriage
 house door, But he minds not the least their hurry and din.
 He just stands there as still as before. The wheel now has stopped and the mu- sic is done And the gay cart nas r0 nloro to to i; dropped my dime into the organ=maa's

On Dorothy's 15th birthday her mother said; My dear Dorothy. you are old enough 10 care about your own clothes. 9 Dorothy had a dress she liked very much She didn't wash it. for she thought it would fade It had two large pockets
 Dorothy took all her other dresses and hid that one in the trunk and washed all of them. but Dorotly's mother needed to nave her coat to give b their poor neigh 35rs. so she went to the trunk Seeing 7s- dress. she put a large pencil box in flic pocket. Dorothy asked her mother inc day before school began: Mother, l would like to get a nice large pencil box 'or school. for I took care of ny clothes during vacation"
 'Oh, no" said her mother. T found ane Of your dresses in the trunk and put 3 pencil box in it." So that showed Dorothv's dishonesty.

There are a great many little sun beams living together in the sky These sunbeams each have to do their best to cheer and help the people, and brighten the world. Many help the flowers to grow and blossom. others help to bring light into the nuts of poor people, and some do their best to cheer the unhappy people.
 One little sunbeam went in through the window and cracks Of a poor, lame mans little hut and danced over the floor. Another helped 9 little flower in child's window to grow and blossom. The sunheans do many things to help. cheer and brighten this world and the people in it. So, why not try 10 be q little sunbeam in our own hone? We can if we are hapy and try to help one another.
