THE OLD HORSE.
VO, children, ho shall not bo sold.
Go lead him homo and dry your

Tls true he's blind and lamo npd old.
But he has served us twenty years.
CI7ELL has ho served us. gentle, strong

stage.
And. having tolled for us so long.
We will protect him In his age.
OUR debt of gratitude to pay.
His faithful merits to requite.
His playground bo the hcuth by day,
A shed shall shelter him at night.
IN comfort he shall end his days.
And when 1 must to market go
I'll cut across the shortest ways
And set out earlier home, you know.
\LIFE of labor was his lot
He alwuys tried to do his best.
Poor fellow! Now we'll grudge thee not
A little liberty and rest.
Ci O. then, old friend. Thy future fato
* To range the heath, from harneas

And Just below the cottage gate
I'll go and build a shed for thee.
VND thero we'll feed and tend theo

And with these comforts we'll engogo
No other horse shall ever tell
Of a more happy green old age.

RECOMPENSE.
STRAIGHT through heart this fnct
today
By Truth's own hiuid Is driven?
God never takes ono thing away
But something else Is given.
I did not know In earlier years
This law of love and kindness.
I only mourned through bitter tears
My loss In sorrow's blindness.
But ever following each regret
O'er some departed treusuro
My sad. repining heart was met
With unexpected pleasure.
I thought It only happened so.
But Tlmo this truth has taught mo?
No least thing from this life can go
But something else Is brought me.
It la the law? complete, sublime?
And now with faith unshaken
In patience I but bide my time
When any Joy Is taken.
No matter If the crushing blow
May for tho moment down me.
Still back of It waits Love, I know,
With some new gift to crown me.
?Ella Wheeler Wilcox.
GOODBY! GOD BLESS YOUI
I LIKE the Anglo-Saxon speech
When I wus leaving mother
It takes a hold and seems to reach '
Way down Into your feelings.
That some folks deem It rude 1 know,
And therefore thoy abuse It.
But I have never found It so.
Before all else I choose it.
I don't object that men should air
The Gallic they huve paid for.
With "Au revolr." "Adieu, ma chore."
For that's what French was made for.
But when a crony takes your hand
At parting to address you
He drops all foreign lingo and
He says: "Goodby! God bless you!"
I LOVE the words perhaps becauso
When I was leaving mother
Standing at last In solemn pauso
Wo looked at ono another.
And I? I saw in mother's eyes
Tho love she could not tell me?
A love eternal as the skies.
Whatever fato befell me.
She put her arms about my neck
And soothed tho pain of leaving.
And. though her heart was llko to break.
She spoke no word of grieving.
Sho let no tear bedim her eyes.
For fear that migtit distress me;
But, kissing me, she said goodby
And asked our God to bless me.
? Eugeno Field.
THE GIRL I LEFT BEHIND ME.
THE dnmes of Franco nro fond and
fir m.
And Flemish Hps ar<- willing.
And soft the maids of Italy,
And Spanish eyes are thrilling.
Still, though I bask beneath their
smile.
Their charms fall to bind me.
And my heart falls back to Erin's Isle,
To the girl 1 left behind me.
Vor she's as fulr as Shannon's side
And purer than its water,
But she refused to bo my bride.
Though many a year 1 sought her.
Yet since to France 1 sailed away
Her letters oft remind me
That I promised never to gainsay
The girl I left behind me.
She says: "My own dear love, como
home.
My friends arc rich and many.
Or tlse abroad with you I'll roam,
A soldier stout as any.
If you'll not como nor let mo go,
I'll think you have resigned me."
My heart nigh broke when I answered
"No"
To the girl I left behind me.
For never shall my true lovo brave
A llfo of war and toiling.
And never as a skulking slave
I'll tread my native soil on.
But were 1 frto or to bo freed
The battle's closo would And mo
To Ireland bound, nor message need
From the girl I left behind ino.

THE CELESTIAL LOVE.
A N'D they serve men austerely.
After their own genius, clearly.
Without a false humility.
For this Is lovo's noulllty?
Not to scatter bread and gold.
Goods and raiment bought and sold.
But to hold fast his simple senso
And speak the speech of innoconce
And with hand und body and blood
To mako his bosom counscl good.
He that feeds men serveth few;
He serves all who dare bo true.
?Ralph Waldo Emerson.
FREE CHOICE.

?Oliver Wendell Holmes.
HOW DOES IT SEEM TO YOU?
TT seems to mo like I'd llko to go
Whoro bells don t ring nor whlntloit
blow,
Nor clocks don't strike, nor gongs don't
sound.
And I'd have stillness ull around.
"^OT really stillness, but Just the trees'
^ Low whispering, or the hum of bees,
Or brooks' faint babbling over stones
In strangely, softly tangled tones;
Oil maybe a cricket or katydid.
Or the songs of birds In the hedges ,
hid.
Or Just some such sweet sounds us these
To till ii tired heart with ease.
IP "tweren't for sight und sound and
smell
I'd llko the city pretty well.
But when It comes to getting rest
I like the country lots the best.
OOMET1MES It seems to me I must '
^ Just quit the city's din and dust
And get out where the sky Is blue.
And, say, now, how docs It *eom to you? ;

MIDSUMMER.
HERE. sweep these foolish leaves
away!
I will not crush my brains toduy!
Look! Are the southern curtalna
drawn?
Fetch me a fan and so be gone!
Not that, the palm tree's rustling loaf,
Brought from u parching coral reof.
Its breath Is heated. I would swing
The broad gray plumes? the eugle's wing.
1 hate these roses' feverish blood!
Pluck me n half blown Illy bud,
A long stemmed Illy from the lake.
Cold as a colling water snake.
Rain me sweet odors on the air.
And wheel mo up my Indian chair.
And spread some book not overwlsa
Flat out before my sleepy eyes.
Who knows it not. this dead rocoll
Of weary libers stretched with toll.
The pulse that llutters faint and low
When summer's seething breezes blow?
O Nature, bare thy loving breast
And give thy child one hour of rest
One little hour to Ha unseen
Beneath thy scarf of leafy green!
So, curtained by a singing pine,
Its murmuring voice shall b!end with mine
Till, lost In dreams, my faltering lay
In sweet music dies away.
?Oliver Wendell Holmes.

WALL STREET.
THERE sits the spider. Fortune.
An ever changing shape.
And spins upon the ticker
Her web of shining tape.
With wheat and corn and cotton
She tempts the human fly
And casts his carcass from her
When she has suckcd It dry.
Thero Chance, the crazy Juggler,
Is tossing stocks and shares
And stormy seas of tlnanco
Engulf the bulls und bears.
There trade has built n stronghold
Around Its greatest mart:
There flows the blood of commerce,
Thero beats the nation's heart.
?Selected.
TRY, TRY, AGAIN.
IF you've tried and have not won.
Never stop for crying.
All that's great and good Is done
Just by patient trying.

Showed No Marks but Whole Body
Itched Like a Million Mosquito
Bites? Sleep Out of the Question
and Life Became an Inferno.
DOCTORS AND DRUGGIST
TREATED THEM IN VAIN
"Tho Cuticura Remedies are the bent
in tho world, as I know from experience.
In Dowlais. South Wales, about fifteen
years ago, families were stricken whole
sale by a disease known as the itch.
Believe me, it is the most terrible dis
ease of its kind that 1 know of, as it
itches all through your body and makes
your lifo an inferno. Sloop it out of the
question and you fool as if a million
mosquitos were attacking you at the
same time. Yet you oould see nothing
on tho skin. But the itch was there oil
right and I sincerely trust that I shall
never get it. I knew a doaen families
that were so affected. Tho male mem
bers and myself belonged to the same
society and, as steward, it was my dutr
to visit tho sick members once a week
for sick benefit until they were declared
off. That is how I became so familiar
with tho itch.
" Tho doctors did their best but their
remedies wero of no avail whatever.
Then the famUies tried a druggist who
was noted far and wido fo ? his remark
ablo cures. People came tJ him from
all parts of the country for treatment
but his medicine made mrMtors still
worst*, as a last resort they were advi*vi
by a friend to use tho Cuticura Remedies.
I am glad to toll you that after a few
days' treatment with Cuticura Soap,
Ointment and Kosolvent, the effect was
wonderful and tho result was a perfect
euro in all caws.
" I may add that my three brothors,
three sistors, myself and all our families
have l>eon users of tho Cuticura Reme
dies for fifteen or twenty years. Thomas
Hugh, 1050 West Huron St., Chicago,

After reading tho public statement
of this fellow-sufferer given below,
you must come to this conclusion:
A remedy which cured years ago,
which has kopt the kidneys in good
health since, can be relied upon to
perform tho same work in other cas
es. Read this:
R. C. Kenton, 3y05 N. Cheyenne St.
Tacoma, Wash., says: "1 gave a state
uiont for publication, telling of my ex
perience with Doans Kidney Pills som
years ago and I am now pleased to
confirm all I then said in their favor.
I was afflicted with kidney trouble
and finally I became so bad off that
I was obliged to give up my work.
I had dull, heavy pains through tny
kidneys and oif one occasion I was
confined to my bed for almost a
month. Tho unnatural condition of
the kidney secretions also plainly de
noted that my kidneys needed atten
tion. Whan I learned of Doan's Kid
ney PMls, I procured a box and be
gan their use. I felt great relief
from the first and before long my
trouble was entirely disposed of. I
have since had no return of kidney ,
complaint."
