DEAD! BY HRKl

Come, drop tear upon the bert
Step softly and speak low.
But Ihuse and say, above this clay
A pray'f before you 90.
The end is come the lips are dumb
The last sad rites are said.
Oh. jiminee! The G. O. p.
steam roller, boys. Is dead!
No more he'll feel along his keel
The old and wicked thrill
Felt when he fattened ont the hat
That T. r. threw at Bill.
His death has Jared the poor "old guard
Completely from their perch;
they're quite bereft. for lie has left
Them sadly In the lurca.
Come, weep with US for this old cuss-
Let's weep like EVERYTHING
Let grief hold sway; he's passed away
The old convention king!
And each dark horse" can now, Of course.
Run wild and not be led
Aw dry your tears, let's give three
cheers

the precious perfume Of early bibii-

was one Of the gifts brought by
the Wise Men to the newborn babe

cause my husband is so mean to
any one who tries.
l am 20 years old and he is SO.
l think there must be another wom-
an who gets some Of his money. He
says he gets so much. but he does
not bring it home. What can do?
MRS. BLUE EYE.
Young girls cannot be made to
believe that an early marriage is q
dangerous thing and almost al
ways leads to great unhappiness.
You have made your mistake and
now will have to bear the punish
ment in one form or another.
There is chance that you can
find contentment at home if you
give up all thought Of companion
ship with your husband and con-
tent yourself with your love for the
child. Continue to go places with
your own people; If your conduct is
above reproach. gossips will soon
grow silent and will let you live
your life in the way you yourself
think most wise.
II your husband Is making a liv-
ing wage, you should not have to
work. Your place is at home, car
ing for your baby. Close your eyes
to his abuse and il you consider it
for the best not to work, do not
do 80.
OF course you have a choice of
two things-to make as happy q
life a. possible with your husband
or to leave him. II you leave him,
you do not know what is in store
for you. OF course you would have
to work in order to provide for
yourself and child. Besides there
would be the didiculty Of finding 4
satisfactory place for her to stay
while You worked.
Pick out the things for which
you have to be thankful and be
happy in them. Mako the best Of
the unpleasant part and have faith
that better times are coming II you
do what is right and earn happi-
ness. Every act has its result. An
unwise act, such a. your marriage,
brought unhapptness, while . wise.
good act would bring happiness.
Dear Mrs. Thompson: It II con-
sidered al right for . lady to dance
with . man she has never met when

of Calomel.

Calomel loses you a day! You know
what calomel is. It's mercury; quick.

crashes into sour bile like dynamite,
cramping and sickcning you. Calomel
attacks the bones and should never be

When you feel bilious, sluggish, con-
stipated and all knocked out and believe
you need dose of dangerous calomel
Just remember that your druggist sells
for fsw cents large bottle of Dodsons
Liver Tone, which is entirely vegetable
and pleasant to take and Is perfect
substitute for calomel. 1t is guaranteed
to start your liver without stirring you
up inside, and can not salivate.
Don't take calomell 1t can not be

which straightens you right up and

SCHUMANN-HEINK,
WORLD FAV0RITE,
AT CAPE, MAY IL
Celebrated Woman to Make First
and Last Appearance in Southeast
Missouri-Popular Program.

What probably will be the most
representative audience ever assembl-
ed in Southeast Missouri will hear
the worlds most beloved singer and
the greatest of all contraltos--Ma-
dame SchumannH nHeink--whose APP
pearance for concert of popular
songs at the Teachers College audi
torium, Cape Girardeau, Monday,
May II, will be an event notable in
the history of this district. Schu
man -Heink is the most celebrated
artist ever to come to Southeast Mis-
souri, and the vast number of appli-
cations for reserved seats, received
from every town within radius of
100 miles of Cape Girardeau, shows
that the audience will be made up of
the devotees of the better class of en-
tertainment and the lovers of true
art as exemplified by Schuman
Heink concert
Never before has the great Schu-
mann-Heink appeared in Southeast
Missouri and she never will come
again. Publishers of The Southeast
Missourian secured the consent Of
the celebrated singer to agree to the
Teachrs' Collge appearance on May
| II by guaranteeing her a sum such
never before has been paid for an
attraction in this section. They
did it realizing that SchumannH Heink
is recognized as the favorite of Amer
ica-the most superb of singers anl
a citizen who endeared herself to all
Americans by her magnificent sacri-
| fees during the war.
| Aside from her marvellous voice,
| Madame Schumann-H -Heink is a per-
sonage that this country is glad to
honor Were she not famed for her
singing and what she has done for
the art she would he honored every
where for her brilliancy Of mind, her
great ability and for her patriotism.
| What Schumann-Heink was able to
do during the war is too we'll known
to need repeating; what her emo
tiOns may have been-still are
one may guess With sons who
were in Germany rallying to the
flag of Germany and the other sons
in the United States, just as quick
to don the uniform of their America,
the noted artist was placed in a posi-
tion unique in history. But Schu-
mann-Heink was an American and
she rose to the occasion and how
she went from camp to cantonment
and from army post to naval base,
singing in the open air to thousands
and thousands of boys and-all the
time giving of her earnings to Ameri-
cas- cause-everyone knows that, and
the elders who have heard her, want
to hear her again-once more, and
they want their children to hear her.
One woman, writing for four seat
reservations, penned: Il have heard
Nine. Heink four times, but l would
be ashamed to let this opportunity
pass and not have my children hear
her-they may never get another
chance"
