GETTING AWAY FROM IT.

Twas through Adams great trans
gression
That with labor men were curst,
But the hardness of the sentence
Has been softened since the first;
For command to keep the Sabbath
All the sweating toilers blest
And unto them kindly granted
Fifty-two long days of rest.
Very soon the sons of Adam
Always much inclined to shirk
For themselves devised method
TO avoid a little work.
So, instead OF time for merely
Service OF prayer and praise,
They the calendar red lettered
With some pleasant holidays.
And they found it most delightful
Just few to celebrate,
While events kept on occurring
Which they could commemorate;
Till it's come to pass at present
That we hardly toll or spin
Half the time, we are so busy
With a holiday we're in.
Quite hilarious, we firstly
Pause to greet the glad New Year;
Then in February, Lincoln
And George Washington revere.
Lexington. in smiling April,
Is q patriotic day,
= h,,,.. tlo ,,,.N,,r, A.. ,f cyiItaNts
We are scattering flowers of May
Bunker Hill calls for remembrance
IN the month of June, besides
All the high school graduations
And the charming little brides.
In July "the great and glorious
Is observed with lots of noise.
And in old August we pay tribute
To the old Green Mountain boys.
Labor day comes in September
And Of it account is made
Not by sticking to the anvil
But by marching in parade.
In October the discovery
OF this country It is felt,
Should be noted and the birthday
or our own great Roosevelt,
On November, the eleventh,
We rejoice that Ger the Hun
Right could triumph and a victory
In the Armistlce was won.
Then about feast OF turkey
Families and friends we see,
And again a little later
Gather round the Christmas tree
Thus il goes, until no longer
Have we Adams curse to fear;
For we are eliminatngN
Working days within the year
And the time is surely coming
With new holidays proposed
When our banking institutions
WIN forevermore be closed

OF course, when Winter took his seat
And clubs and things begun to meet
And singing school was running
strong,
|And magic lanterns come along.
Twas nothing strange that girls and
boys
Should kinder share each CSslers
joys;
But, when you scarcely hadn't seen
A girl sense grass was getting green,
1t took some nerve, I'll tell you that,
To walk right up to Minnie Pratt,
Or Flora Flagg, o. Susie Guile,
Or any girl that dressed In style,
And ask if you could see her home,
Alest as if you owned a bronze
You had to have your overcoat
All on, and tippet round your throat;
You had to ask her right in sight
OF half the folks, and where twas
light;
You had to use your optics SO
You seed her, though she didn't
know;
And yet, you had to wear the air
or one who simply happened there;
You smoke to everybody near,
And showed no signs OF funk or fear,
But kinder fixed your walking stick
In shape to move COMPOUNDED quick,
And when the supreme moment came
You stepped right up and spoke her
name -
My Gracious If she smiled and said,
with pleasure, Mr. Buttonhead,'
voa felt load fall off your back
AS heavy as pedlar's pack,
and GRABBED her arm with such a
pinch
She side.stepped bout half an inch;
Recovering from this slight alarm,
You eased a trifle on her arm,
And walked along so brave and true
You didn't care who spotted you;
And when she said, Good evening,
Ben,
You vowed you'd not be scarf again
But it's a fact--you amt to blame
You'll be worked up about the same.

Birth Of a Star.

The vast black mass, 100000
times larger than the sun, demon
strated to exist In the heavens by the
Dutch scientist DR.. Pannekoek, seems
to upset all earlier astronomical calcu-
lations.
1t is, comparatively speaking, so
near US that Doctor Pannekoek sug-
gests that the sun itself must move
round it once in 100000 years-draw-
ing the earth with it.
1--WE believe that the black body
must consist Of dust, and that this is
the first stage in the birth of a star"
said an expert. "As 1t condenses it
gets hotter until it becomes luminous
and visible. Sudden flares or new
stars have been seen in our lifetime,
but the black cloud of dust appears to
be the real beginning.
THE amazing feature is the near
ness Of the body. 1t is relatively as
close to the earth as a foot rule would
appear TO be if only two feet away
from the eye, 1t is quite possible
that even yaster bodies of this kind
exist" The nearness is relative. The
body is 2S0,OOO,OOO, 100000 miles away.

MINISTER DISCUSSES
HIS WIFE'S TROUBLES

Rev. A, IL. Sykes, former pastor OF
the Watkins Park Presbyterian church,
Nashville, Tenn, says:
after seeing what Tanlac has ac-
complished in my wife's case, | am
convinced that it is a medicine of
great power and extraordinary merit.
| do not think l have ever seen any
thing give such prompt results. Mrs.
Sykes had been in delicate health for
ten months, suffering from stomach
trouble and nervous breakdown.
81 frequently sought medical adj
vice but Tanlac is the only thing that
gave her any relief. After taking the
medicine only a short time, she was
able to sit up and help with the house

time until her health will be fully re-
stored"

SAW her CLOWNS
Sick ChiId'S Life Saved by Cele-
brated Comedians.
Action of French Funmakers That
Shines Like Good Deed In
Naughty World"

The Fratellini brothers, celebrated
clowns of Medrano general favorites
of the ContinenD, were recently the
heroes of a slngularly touching little
incident.
1t appears that the nlne-year-old
daughter of the Widow Colicourt, 81
Rue Francoeur, shortly after attend
ing a performance in which the clowns
had appeared fell seriously Ill. In
her delirium the child was obsessed
with the desire to see them again
the marvellous bulfoons who made her
laugh so on that evening of happy
enchantment; she kept calling for
'her clowns"
Months passed while the mother
stubbornly fought for the life of her
child, and gradually the illness re-
sponded to the treatment, The little
girl, however, remained sad, pensive
and lacking animation. The doctor
shook his head, puzzled and alarmed
by the child's listlessness. "She should
have something to distract her." he
said.
How entertain her? The mother
was far from being a wealthy woman.
Since, however, the child continually
spoke of cher clowns" why should
she not go to the Fratellini brothers,
themselves, and ask their help? She
reflected that these celebrated artists
we're good men who gave generously
to charity; that they sometimes went
TO the hospitals to entertain the in
mates and bring them cheer. why
should she not go to them and ask
them to help save her child?
The upshot was that two days later
the widow went to the circus and re-
quested an audience with the Fratel-
llnl brothers. They were, at the mo-
ment, on the stoge; she could hear
their silly laughter as she stood in the
wings and waited. When, presently,
painting from their eXertions, they
came tumbling off, she made her re-
quest hurriedly. stopping them, tears
standing in her eyes
The three clowns are the fathers of
II children, all told. They promised
to go the very next day to see the
little sick girl, adding that It would
not cost the wido a penny.
And sure enough, the next day, ar
rayed in their most gorgeous cos
tunes, grotesQue, hilarious, altogether
marvellous, they enacted from full
hearts before the little invalid their
most fantastic sketch singing and
dancing and grimacing. And the &C.
static child, mad with happiness and
with a new light in her eyes, clapped
her hands, laughing through exquisite
tears, and shouted: Encore! En-
core ~
The clowns entertained her for two
hours; and when they left-quietly
and discreetlN as they had come
they promised to come again
And that is the end Of the story,
as the mother told it the other day
except that the little girl is well on
the road to recovery, The widow
came TO the writer and related the
facts, very simply. And the story
seemed to the writer a very good sto-
nv, indeed.-From lie Petit Parisien.
