JOHN AND I.
Never envied Rockefeller all the gold
he's seized upon;
Haven't got a single dollar, hut I'm
bettor off than John. ,
He can " order .costly viands, but he
cannot eat a bite;
I can .dine on spuds and bacon and
keep feeling fit and right.
Ho has got to pet his stomach and
his liver's out of gear;
I have health and good digestion and
a conscience that is clear.
Though no private yacht I'm owning
I'm a happy, jolly cove
With a pair of old knit slippers and
my feet upon the stove.
John qan point to heaping millions
under his supreme control?
Keeps me ever jumping sideways lest
I get into the hole.
He can build huge, costly mansions, or
can ride tho ocean's foam;
Mine is but an humble cottage, but,
thank God, it's, home, sweet home!
Hb can rule the world of finance with
the help of Standard Oil;
I must hustle for a living and my
days are full of toil.
But I wouldn't give my comfort for
John's mighty treasure trove
When, with feet tucked in knit slippers
I am sitting by the stove.
Rockefeller wields a scepter mightier
than feudal kings;
But I'm happier than John is when
my baby coos and sings.
discovered that Special Interests were
at work to rob him. When he was at
one side of the yard a Special Interest
would appear at the. other side and
make off with a lot of Property.
While ho was chasing that Special In
terest another one .would pull open
the drawer and seize a handful of
Cash.
Finally the Prominent Citizen ap
pealed to tho Law, but ho discovered
that tho Policeman on that Beat was
a victim of Somnolency and the pos
sessor of a Pull that kept him in Uni
forms. Once or twice he undertook to ar
rest a 'Marauder, but Bumped up
against an Injunction which said he
could not Help himself.
When he went to the headquarters,
of the City Administration to make
his complaint he was met by a Merry
Ha Ha that chilled his Blood. When
he remonstrated at the treatment ac
corded him he was informed that his
party could not elect an administra
tion unless it appointed Officers who
could fall into Convenient Slumber
whenever a Special Interest wanted to
go out on a Foraging Expedition.
The Prominent Citizen finally dis
covered to his dismay that Every
thing he had was gobbled up by the
Special Interests working under Ad
ministration favor, and he was about
to desnair.
Then it was that a Friend told him
that the only way to get Justice was to

If Baer Had His Way.
President, Baer In his talk to, tho
Pennsylvania society denounced the
meddling politicians who settled the
strike and made it possible to pro
duce any coal at all. If the strike had
continued indefinitely, as Mr. Baer
contemplated last October when he
protested against the efforts of the
"meddling politicians," headed by the
president of tho United States, to end
it, what stops would ho have taken to
keep his promise that there should bo
no coal famine? And if thousands of
people instead of an occasional one
or two had been freezing to death in
New York while all the fires in the
city vere out what particular winter
resort would Mr. Baer have selected
as his place of refuge? Now York

I have got to keep On toiling, though
it's cold and frosty here.

I must work from dawn till even for

But I wouldn't trade my comfort for

love is better far than gold.
Greed and happiness are something
one man's heart's too small to
hold.
You may build a marble palace, but

'Tis not worth the humble cottage
where love dwells beneath the
roof.
All the gold a man may gather by

"What, and vote against my Par

And that's why the Prominent Citi

Once upon a. time a Prominent Citi

Wealth by dint of Toll and Economy.
Ho piled up huge stacks of Grain in
his back yard, had Coal in plenty in
an open pen, and his pantry was full
of Silverware. The Prominent Citi
zen also accumulated lots of Cash,
which ho kept in i drawer in his desk,
tho key to the same being lost.
But as tho Years went by tho
Prominent Citizen discovered 'that

"All the world's a stage," and too
many supes endeavor to play leads.
The joy of giving is increased by
the necessity of working for what is

Some men hitch their wagons to

There are a lot of people who never

A New Gatrrh Cure, Which is Rapidly Com-fiyf-to

For several years, Eucalyptol Guaiacol and
HVdrastin have bcexi recognized na standard rem

ways been given separately and only very recent-

them, together with oihex antiseptics into a
plcnsant t flective tablet.
Druggists sell the remedy under the name of
StuniVs Catarrh Tablets and it has met with re
markable success in the cure of nasal catarrh,
bronchial and throat catarrh and in catarrh of
the stomach.

A leading physician of Pittsburg- advises the
use of Stuart's Catarrh -Tablets in preference to
