HOUSE OF TOO MUCH TROUBLE.
IN the House of Too Much Troublo
Lived a lonely little boy.
He was eager for a playmate.
Ho was hungry fur a toy.
But It was always too much bother.
Too much dirt ami too much noise.
For the House of Too Much Trouble
Wasn't meant for llttlo boys.
And sometimes the little fellow
Left a book upon the floor
Or forgot mid laughed loo loudly
Or he failed to close the door.
In a House of Too Much Trouble
Thing:) must be precise and trim
In a House of Too Much Trouble
There was llttlo room for him.
"He must never scatter playthings.
He must never roinp unit play.
Every room must bo In order
And kept quiet all the day.
He had never had companions.
He had never owned a pet.
In the House of Too Much Troublo
It is trim and quiet yet.
Every room Is set In order,
Every book I s In Its place.
And tho lonely llttlo Mlow
Wears a smile upon his face.
In the House of Too Much Troublo
He is silent and at rest
In tho House of Too Much Troublo
With a Illy on his breast.

AT TABLE SETTING.

Bore my soul missives me;
Fears my heart nre wringing.

As I hushed their weeping.
Otherwise I fancied
As I watched them sleeping.

MIDDLE AGE.
WHEN* youth's desire of pleasure
cloys
And life has reached n wiser
stage
'TIs sweet to count tho placid
Joys
Of middle ago.
No more tho love of frenzied sport.
Xo more the thlnjTS to do and dare.
With mild philosophy I court
My easy chair.
Thcro with my soothing pipe I sit
An. I watch Its graceful rings arisen
Feeling my vision and my wit
Grow rlpo and wise.
Xo more I Join the weary wights
Who dangle In a maiden's trail.
Giving th> lr daytltms and their nights
To woeful wall.
I seek no mad emprise to Jog
And goad me In a perilous way.
But meditate that every dog
Must have his day.
I note the price of stock and share
With cautious speculative ends.
And to the credit sido I bear
Llfo's dividends.
Perchance to golfing fields I fare.
To enterprise with put and tees?
And scorn the caddie's furtive staro
At what he sees.
I never ask of llfo too much.
And sho rewards with ample wage
Of peaceful Joys that aro In touch
With middle age.

And things I done

And long to run!

A Xor what I rue.
Fain would I have thee speak
If thou but knew.
OURGEOXS and leeches stand around

And hold my fevered hands and batho my

THOSE WHO SIT OVER.

Whose natures of pigglshness show such

They sit over a little.
In matters of trade there are some that
aro good.
Who sit over a little;
Who give to their fellows a chance, as
they r'lould?
Who sit over a little?
Who haven't a notion of "hogging the

Or gettinc a corner on everything,
Who cheerfullj take what Damo Nature

Who "1 and let live," ns God wants us

When joys take tho placo of our earth

We'll lind up In heaven none other than

A ND soon their purple petals,
Secretly spun.
Will open In tho sunshine.

ALEXANDER'S SNAKE.
A Story of Magio and Credulity In the
Olden Day*. '
No snake that ever lived won greater
fame for the time than Alexander's.
Luclan tells the story. ApoiroUlUB, a
muster of the mugle^arta, hai many
disciples, among whom was a practic
ing physician who lived In Abonotl
chus, a small town on the shore of the
Black sea. There Alexuiider was born
of humble parentago and Imbibed from
the old doctor all that ho had learned
from Apolloiilus of medicine' aiid mag
ic. He was a lad of striking Aippear-1
mice, tal'^ handsome, With a' flue bead
of hair, lustrous brown eyes and a
voice sweet and limpid. "God grant,"
wrote Luclan, who kn^w him, "tfyit L
may uever meet with such another.
Ills coining was worylerfyl, his dex
terity matchless. His eagerness for
knowledge, his capacity for learning
and power of memory wort equally
extraordinary."
Such was the well favored young
peasant who sallied forth from bis na
tive town In seurcb of fntne' a ad for
tune. Soon he fell lu with ope Co
connas, a shrewd tipster for tho races
and somewhat of a Juggler. The two
rogues joined forces and meandered
about telling fortunes. 'Arriving at
Telia, they found a greif' number of
huge, harmless snakcta which lived ln
the houses, played aud slept with tho
children and destroyed poisonous rats.
Alexander promptly purchased one o I
the largest, a veritable monster, so
tame that It would coll about ?ls body
and remain In any desired position.
Then he mado a human face for It out
of linen, painted It Ingeniously and
shaped It so that the mouth would
open and shut by an arrangement of
horsehair, lotting the forked tongue
shoot In and out at the will "df the
master. Having no further use for
Coconnns, bo either administered poi
son to him or let him die from Borne
Infection aud returned with his snake
to his native town. Thoro he declared
himself a prophet and afcnounc^d that
the god Aescniaplus "was about* to ap
pear. The people were credulous, ex
citable aud eager for a now divinity.
When the great da| arfived Alexan
der pretended to discover In a puddly
of water a goose egg which he had
placed there after removing the con
tents, substituting a small embryo
snake just born and carefully sealing
the shell with wax. When the multitude
had gathered he broke the shell and
produced the tiny creature, which In
a few moments grew to be the monster
from Petla by the simple process of
substitution Thereafter the big snake,
believed to be Aesculapius, led a busy
life. He gave seances, told fortunes In
writing and even spoke freely, with
tho aid of tho prophet's ventrlloqulal
powers. Alexander grew rich and pow
erful, kept a small afmjrbif retainers
and spies, wielded no little Influence
over the government oven at Rome and
died at a ripe old age In the fullness of
his renown. What became'of the snake
nobody knows. Probably at the last
tho prophet dispatched the faithful
c reature to prevent the discovery of his I
deception after his death.? George Har
vey In North American Review.
The Kind Cat.
A neighbor Of old Mrs. Harrington J
killed a fine pig one day. He cut It
up and hung the plcccs In bis wood
shed. Mrs. Harrington's cat climbed
Into the shed that nighty stole a large
pork chop aud carried It home to hpr
mistress. The minister happened to
call on the old lady the next day. She
was Just frying the chop. Shu told
the minister how miraculously It
been brought to her by the cat
"And, oh. sir," she said piously, "it
was almost beautiful to see tho way
the sweet animal brought me the pork
chop. It quite recalled to my mind
what we read in Holy Writ abolft"
Elijah and the ravens,"? Exchange.

THE COMPBOMISE.
He Thought He Was Firm and Knew
He Wai Considerate.
The youug man had eutered that
mysterious realm called' matrimony,
and as it was his first offense bis fa
ther was handing blm some paternal
advice as to how he should treat the
joung wife.
"Wheu you have any little differ
ences of opinion, my sbn," bb said to
the boy, "If you can't persuade Mar
garet that you are right? and you prob
ably can't, for they are all about alike
?you must compromise. Be Arm, yet
be considerate and compromise."
"Yes, father," replied the son.
"I well remember a 'little experi
ence," and a reminiscent expression
came over the old man's face, "on the
very threshold of the married life of
your mother and myself, and it wis
i he basis of all future disputes. It
was this way: I wanted' t <f spend the
summer, our first' vacation together. In
Maine, and your mother wanted to go
to Saratoga.' That *1*3. thirty years
ago. But I shall neverforgethpw firm
and yet how considerate I was with
your mother and how we compromised,
avoiding all dispute. We stayed from
Saturday noon to Tuesday ' 'morning, (it
Bnr Harbor, and then we'speflt tie
rest of the summer nt Saratoga. Yes,
Indeed," the old man added, with a
sigh, "that's thi only way to deal , with
a woman. You must be firm, but bo
Willing to compromise a 'little ohce^fcl
awhile, nr I bare done ttlth your mowi

HIDDEN DANGERS
Nature Gives Timely Warnings That
No Alaska Citizen Can Afford
to Ignore.
DANGER SIGNAL NO. 1 comes

warn you when the kidneys are slclf.
Well kidneys excrete a clear, amber
fluid. Sick kidneys send out a thin,

smelling urine, full of sediment and
Irregular of passage.
DANGER SIGNAL NO. 2 comes

heavy, or sharp and acute, tell you of
sick kidneys and warn you of the ap
proach of dropsy, diabetes and Bright"
disease. Doan's Kidney Pills cure
sick kidneys and euro them perma
nently. Hero Is proof In the state

Theodore Josephson, 515 Seventh

"About five years ago I used Doan'
Kidney Pills and derived benefit
benefit. At that tlmo I was suffer
ing from pains across my back and
loins, often so severe that I was un
able to stoop or straighten. My kid
neys also bothered me a great deal,
llio secretions generally being too fre
quont in passage. At last Doan's
Kidney Pills were brought to my at
tention and I procured a box. I used
them and as a result my health Is
now excellent. 1 take a few doses of

when feeling any sign of backache
and they never fall to remove the
trouble."
