 Boe forty-four years of my married 0ta. it has had . place on our medi- elns shelf. and Is the only laxative. or 0veR medicine. we use. We use 1t Abr torpid liver. sour stomach. head oeAo. indigestion .. don't think we oould get along without 1t, knowing WAAt 1t has done for us, and the money et has saved.

 Thedford's Black-Draught Is purely vegetable, not disagreeablc to take and acts in a prompt and natural way.
 So many thousands of persons have been benefited by the ,se of Thedford's Black- Draught, you should have no shesitancy in trying this valuable old wsil-established remedy, for most liver and stomach disorders. NC-139b.

by MrS. Joy freeman Bates,
 Mother, where does all the snow go to-" asked little seven-year-old Margeurite one day. Wait mother said, until next spring when we go to see grandmother and Aunt Lucy will tell you"
 And then next spring when Mar geurite and her Aunt Lucy were out walking in the woods they came upon clump of small white blossoms. 70! Aunt Lucy, look. Those are the first flowers l have seen this year. They look like snowfakes, don't they And that makes me think, mother promised me that you would tell me where all of the snow drops go to. Won't you tell me now?"
 Well" said Aunt Lucy, settling herself on log, "old Father Sun calls some of them back, and those clouds you see up there are probably some of the litle snow faeries. But the most of them sink down deep into the earth and stay there all winter Those are the bad ones that have dis pleased old Father Sun or Mother Cloud. So as a punishment Father Sun makes them stay down here when he calls the good ones back. They creep down into the good warm earth and cry themselves to sleep. The next spring they wake up and push themselves out of the ground and find that they have become these pret- ty flowers here. We call them snow drops. They are happy then, for they know that old Father Sun has for given them
 "Oh," Marguerite said, "That's the loveliest story you ever told me, Aunt Lucy.'

IN MEMORY OF OUR TEACHER.
By 0. M. Schneider.

By O. NJ. Schneider. The wind is whistling through the
 trees,
 The fields in somber clad; The snow feeced clouds fly overhead,
 The days are drear and sad. We hear, within that sad quiet day,
 The tread of human feet; The softly tolling of the bell,
 A funeral down the street. Along the solemn procession moves,
 Up to the open grave; Their hearts are laden down with grief,
 She was their children's slave. As a tall and stately lily,
 With eyes, smiling and bright, She gave her young life gladly
 To give their children light. She taught them the wisdom of knowledge, She taught them the ways of God She trained them for God and coun. try,
 To lift the erring one up from the sod. Until at last God in His wisdom, Decided her work was done, 1 rransplanted the beautiful lily Into her heavenly home. | We hope that her soul shines brightly l In that heavenly light serene, Shell live in our memory forever,
 Sister, Mary Georgine.
