Il WISH / WERE RICH"

When l worked in an office from earl,
till late,
1 And my pocket was empty of cash,
| looked at the glittering autos go by
With brasses and crystal a-flash;
The varnish and leather and luxur,
used
My envious eyes to bewitb,
yearned for car, and sighed Il
| myself:
81 wish / were rich!"
/ gazed in jewelers. window at rings
And watches in gorgeous array,
] fingered to stare at beautiful coat
Ina furrier's over the way,
] peeped in hall with velvety rug
And statues and palms in niche,
! passed by mansion of marble; and
cried:
Il wish l were richl"
One morning Dame Fortune appeared
at my door,
Behold! ! was rolling in wealth.
But the care of my millions took all of
time,
And soon | was broken in health.
My mail was bundle of plaintive APP
peals,
And copies of newspapers which
Assailed me in merciless skits and
cartoons
Because was rich.
/ wistfully peered from my new lin
cuisine
At working man walking along
In holiday garb, with his pretty
young wife,
And little ones rosy and strong,
And ! said; of only could be in his
place,
Oh never again would itch
For the brummagem baubles that
money can buy,
Nor wish to be rich.
If you sleep like a top, if your con-
science is clear
If your steak and potatoes taste
good,
If you get your envelope on Saturday
night,
And keep Sunday the way that you
should,
Though you sit on stool with led
= bger all day,
Or labor away in ditch,
Give thanks to the Lord for the bless
ings you have,
Don't wish to- be rich.

The meeting of the Monday Club on
April 4th was held at the home of
Miss Alma Williams. Rev. King lee
tured on Tennyson's "In Memoriam",
and a literary treat was enjoyed. The
program opened with piano solo by
Miss Williams, followed by song by
Mrs X. c. Weber. The teachers Of
the public school were invited by the
Monday Club to hear Mr.. King. After
listening to his excellent talk, they
were invited into the dining room,
where delicious refreshments were
served.
The Times is informed that there
is splendid chance of Pennington
securing an Exide Battery Station in
the near future. This is something
that the Commercial Club should look
after and give encouragement to, as
such station would doubtless repre-

would necessarily have strong drawing
power among users of the Exide Bat

GH0STLY LOVERS ON WATCH
Legend of the City of Mexico That Makes Peculiar Appeal to Super
 stitious Residents.

One of the strange legends of the City of Mexico has to do with the Gale de los Parados (Street of the Two Idlers). According to the story there was a beautiful girl DOna Maria Ysa- bel de Vallejo y Yezca, who lived on the street, and was beloved by two men, one a young officer and the other young merchant. After the custom of the land at that period (about 1650) they indicated their love by standing, one at each corner of the block, until the dona appeared.
 X plague fell upon the city about this time and the girl died without it becoming known to her lovers. She was taken out and buried by night, also unknown to the suitors. The next day they stood at their respective posts waiting in vain. The day after they stood, and the day after that, week after week, month after month, and year after year, They at last died. still on their posts and their ghosts are said to still stand at night, cloaked and ghastly, in the darkest shadows of the streets.

reputation rests largely on the fine de- scriptive and dramatic quality of these Canadian stories.
 "Pierre and His People" was followed by "Fhe Trail of the Sword" "When Nalmond Came to Pontiac,' "An Ad- venturer of the North" and 1.The Seats of the Mighty" (dramatizcd in 1S97).
 The of '"Che Battle of the Strong" is laid in the Channel islands. Parker's chief later books are "The Right of Way" published in 1901, Don ovan Pasha," ''The Ladder of Swords" and others. '"The Right of Way Is the story of Il man who tried to "cOme back" after making a failure of his life.
 Parker's Canadian connections and his experiences in Australia and else where made him a strong imperiaIist in politics. He was elected to parlia- ment in 1900 (re-elected 19G6-101G) as conservative member from Gravesend.
 In 1902 Parker was knighted, and he strengthened his position In the party by his energetic work on behalf of the tariff reform. He came to rank by 1910 as one of the foremost men of the UnlOnist party.

"Since Tanlae has overcome my troubles I have gained twenty pounds in weight and am in better general health than for years past" was the straightforward statement made a few days ago by II. W. Boring, a prominent and Well-to-do farmer liv- ing at Overland Park, Kans.

I would have pains across the small of my back so bad at times l could hardly move around
 My nerves were all unstrung and I would become upset at the least little thing. I seldom slept well at night and, finally became so weak and rundown that I lost weight rapidly. I was also troubled great deal with catarrh and of mornings had to spend a half hour or more clearing up my head.
