THE ONLY WAY.
THE shndts of night were falling
fast
(As has been mentioned In the past),
When through an Alpine village
blew
A climber with a retinue.
He did not bear through snow and Ice
A banner with a strange device
Nor did ho roar "Excelsior!"
(As has been mentioned heretofore).
But tended strictly to Ills Job,
Which was to gain the mountain's nob.
Itehlnd him on the weary Jog
There toiled a faithful blond stenog;
Likewise there puffed a not'ry pub,
Provided by the Alpine club.
Who saw the climber did not cheat
And swore him every thousand feet.
Roped to a yodel Ing Alpine guide.
The trio scaled the mountainside.
At dawn the climber topped the crag
And waved the Climbers" union Hag,
Dictated to the blond stenog.
The final entries In his log.
Made affidavit, "S'help me Hob!"
That he had gained the mountain's nob.
And BUI. the guide, to make things sure.
Was witness to his signature.
"That ought to hold the "Show me' bunch."
The climber murmured. "Now for lunch!" [
?Chicago Tribune. I
ANOTHER WAY.
I LAY In silence, dead. A woman camo
And laid a rose upon my breast and
said,
"May God be merciful." Sho spoke my
name
And added: "It Is strange to think him
dead.
"TTE loved me well enough, but 'twas
*-1 his way
To speak It lightly." Then, beneath her
breath.
"Besides"? I knew what further she would
say.
But then a footfall broke my dream of
death.
rpOPAY the words are mine. I lay the
-*? rose
Upon her breast and speak her name
and deem
It strange. Indeed, that she Is dead. God
knows
I had more pleasure In the other dream.
?Ambrose Blerce.
THE LAW BRINGERS.
MEN for men's work were need
ed
Men with a nix gun handy.
Long was the cry unheeded
Down on the Rio Grande.
But at the time 'twas seeming
Men to all law were strangers
There came, with weapons gleaming.
The gallant Texas rangers.
They wasn't dressed up fancy.
Nor for the fuss and glitter.
This game. 'tis true, was chancy.
Hut no one proved a quitter.
They sent their message hissing?
Guns spoke of law and order
Some brave uns turned up missing
Down on that bloody border.
Now how the ranch lights twinkle
Where lawless lead was winging!
Peaceful the cowbells tinkle.
Likewise the wirnmen singing.
Luw reigns ? and you we're thanking?
Along o' that bed so sandy
Where crawls, with cactus flanking,
Tho historic Rio Grande.
?Arthur Chapman.
CHANT OF THE TAWNY THRUSH.
LISTEN! It Is the tawny thrush
Singing in the twilight's hush,
His flute notes falling as a dream
By the winding forest stream.
HIS are notes of strangest sorrow.
His are notes from which to borrow
Gray thoughts of woodland lore,
Echolngs which go to come no more.
VOXDER In the forest dell
-*? Whence those troubled heart notes
swell.
Evening ventures when the light
Vanishes from the paths of night.
(ARI<NESS cannot shut thy theme from
me
Nor days nor years. Where'er I be
There follow sure thy pensive moods.
Thou Chopin of our northern woods!
?Harry Edward Miller.

FASHION'S "WHITE SLAVE."
POOR lady! She Is seldom glad. i
Shu views the world through
weary eyes.
The tone in which she speaks Is
sad.
She heaves a lot of dismal sighs.
She lives where luxuries abound.
She has no child to claim her care.
In splendid style she rides around.
But always with a languid air.
Her husband's not a brute. Indeed,
His treatment of her is most kind.
Although he has the strength to lead,
He still Is gracious and refined.
She never has to ask in vain
For anything her heart may crave.
And yet her visage makes it plain
That she Is sorrow's fretful slave.
She has so many dresses made
That sho can never get a rest.
No more by glad emotions swayed.
She lives for naught but to be dressed.
?Unidentified.
A MAIDEN'S WAY.
A NIFTY dress, a roguish smile.
That's a maiden's way.
A bit flirtatious all the while,
That's a maiden's way.
Perhaps a new beau every nlfht
Or fancy bonnets out of sight.
Perhaps ton suitors In a plight?
That's a maiden's way.
A laugh that's filled with witching grace.
That's a maiden's way.
Or else a shy look on her face.
That's a maiden's way.
A simple word that makes men try
To scale the mountain, sail the sky
Or stick a dragon In the eye.
That's a maiden's way.
A word of sympathy and love.
That's a maiden's way.
When skies are darkened up above,
That's a maiden's way.
A trust more true than heaven's bliss,
Companionship when fate's amiss,
A cheering word, a simple kiss.
That's a maiden's way.
?St. Louis Star.
MY COMRADE.
I NEVER build a song by night or day,
Of breaking ocean or of blowing whin,
I But In some wondrous unexpected way.
Llku light, upon a road, my lav? comes
tn.
A ND when I go at night upon the hill
A My heart is lifted on mysterious
wings.
My lovo Is there to strengthen and to
still.
Fox she can take away tho dread of
things.

DOUBT DISAPPEARS
No One in Alaska Who Has a Bad
Back. Can Ignore This Double Proof.
Does your back ever ache?
Have you suspected your kidneys?
Backache is kidney ache!
With It comes dizzy spells,
Sleepless nights, tired, dull days,
Distressing urinary disorders.
Cure the kidneys to cure It all.
Doan's Kidney Pills bring quick re
lief.
Bring thorough, lasting cures.
That's what Alaskan sufferers want.
Profit then by another's testimony,
Twice-told and well confirmed.
Mrs C. A. McCourt, 203 So. Forti
eth St., Tacoma, Wash., says: "I
have no hesitation in confirming the
public statement 1 gave some years
ago In favor of Doan's Kidney Pills,
as the cure 1 received from their use
has been permanent. I .suffered a
great deal from severe pains through
my kidneys. I also lacked energy,
was subject to dizzy spells and was
caused annoyance by a weakness of
my kidneys. When Doan's Kidney
Pills were brought to my attention,
I procured a box and a few doses
gave me suchgreat relief that I con
tinued taking them until every symp
tom of my trouble was disposed of.
I cannot say too much in favor of
Doan's Kidney Pills."
