THE WOODS
BY DOUGLAS MAILOCH

THE MYSTERY.
Heard rustic in the brush
Only yesternight;
Heard a rustic in the hush,
r.. Somethin' out of sight
Jest football OH the ground,
Shakin' of a tree;
But we argued all around
What the thing could be.
Jack, the stable-boy, he said
Likely twas a colt
Farmers colt thet got its head,
Broke it's halter holt.
Bill, the cookhouse flunkey, swOre
Twas bear er cub
Huntin' round the cookhouse door
Fer a snack Of grub.
Pete, who likes to hunt when fall
Comes around each year,
Said it wasn't that at all
Thet it was deer.
Frank, who drives the two-ox pair,
Said they made him laff,
Said their colt er deer er bear
Simply was caff.
SO they set an argufied
What the thing could be;
Ev'ry fellah tool, side,
Had theory.
Jack he chinned it with the chaps,
Bill with all the boys;
Mac. who's deef, he said perhaps
There wasn't any noise.
What the rustic was about,
No one ever knew;
But one fact / tiggered out
From that gabby crew:
People look with diff'rent eyes,
Hear with diffrent ears;
That what closest to them lies
Ev'rything appears.
Ev'ry nation is the best
10 the man IrOll there,
Ev'ry state beats all the rest
When their sons compare.
Do you wonder at the lot
OF religious creeds?-
Each a special God has got
Fer his special needs.
1,n
Huntin' fer the red;
Atheists expect to stay
Permanently dead;
Streets of sapphire fer the Jew;
Fer the weary, rest
Each, accordin' to his view,
Thinks his heaven best.
An I'm puzzled, admit,
Puzzled at the maze
Heaven, you kin iigger it
FOrty-seven ways:
Heaven with a street of gold;
With Jasper gate;
Heaven where the very old
Still must sit an wait
If there are so many there,
There beyond the blue,
Heavens round an heavens square
Gentle, Injun, Jew
All tllet / can do is trust,
Since they can't agree.
When I lay Inc dust to dust"
Therell be one fer me.

What's the use?
Your health is priceless. And once
shaken, it isn't easy to get into good
shape again. Look at your health as
part Of your capital, and conserve it.
Never let your job borrow from that

cannot control the thing, and when
you do you must do the best you can

most Of us are just careless. It doesn't

NO REST NO PEACE

There's no peace and little rest for the one who suffers from bad back, and distressing urinary disorders. Thousands of users recommend Doan's Kidney Pills. Be guided by their ex- perience.
 Mrs. Henry Larsen, 9O5 John Ad- ans St., Oregon City, Ore, says: "I have been more or less subject to backache for several years. It used to be SO bad couldn't rest night or day. When l was on my feet great deal, 1 would lay for hours at night and couldn't get to sleep on account of the constant pain in my kidneys. My kid neys were very irregular and at times acted too freely. I felt all played out and had no ambition to do anything The least exertion made me tired and nervous. Since l have been taking Doan's Kidney Pills my back feels stronger and my kidneys act more naturally. have found Doan's Kidney Pills beneficial in every way and car recommend them to anybody as rem edy of merit"
