A TAX With A Milford Man.
Mr.. Marker Tells Something of In
tereSt to Milford Folks

There's nothing more convincing
than the statement of someone you
know and have confidence in. That's
why this talk with Mr.. Marker of
211 Church street, should be mighty
helpful here in Milford.
w. H. Marker says: "Ny back was
sore and lame and 1 had a nagging
ache in my kidneys. Often times, a
sharp pain cut through my kidneys
that made it hard for me to stoop
or straighten. At times my kidneys
acted too freely and again they were
scanty and annoying in passage. I
bought Doan's Pills at Pettyjohns
Drug Store and they soon had my
kidneys acting in good order. The
backache left, too, and I haven't been
bothered since"

THE DESERTED LIGHTHOUSE
(HENLoPEN)

Lighthouse, lighthouse by the sea
You're like an old man to me.
There's no more work for you to do,
But still you stand there staunch and
true.
They say you're not safe to hold the
So you gave up the beacon without a
fight.
Aren't you lonely without your light,
And what do you do all through the
night?
You used to send your ray across the
foam
And that would guide the sailors home.
Now you just stand there-a tower CT
stone
Like an old, old man without a home.
Maybe you're dreaming Of days gone by,
Or just looking forward to the bye and
bye.
When man or nature will deem it best,
To send you to your final rest.
And 1 hope that will be down at the
botto moi the sea
For you belong to it and it to thee.
