A Toast to the "Also Rans."
Ye have drunk, O my friends to tho
victors,
Ye have toasted the valiant and
strong;
To the great of the earth ye have
drunk in your mirth,
To the wise ye have lifted your
song. ,
It is well they are worthy my
brothers,
As aught that the firmament spans,
But I pledge you a health to the
others
A health to the "also rans,"
To the men who went down in the
struggle,
To the runners who finished un
placed, To the weak and the young, the un
known and unsung,
The depraved, the oppressed, the
disgraced,
Ye are blooded, developed, completed;
They were bred without stamina,
class;
'Tis to them,, the surpassed the de
feated, I bow as I drain my glass.
Who are ye that should dare reject
them?
Do ye know what the handicaps
weighed?
Did ye suffer the pain, run the race,
stand the strain,
That ye scoff at the place that they
made?
It may be that they were left at the
post
Far or near, 'tis to them, the ill
fated, I bow as I drink my toast.
They have lost, they are ill, they
are the weary;
Ye have won, ye are well, ye are
strong;
By the drops that they bled, by the
tears that they shed,
H.v your mirth, by your wine by
your song,
Hy all that has e'er helped to
sweeten
Your lives, by your hopes, by your
plans,
I pledge you the health of the beatens
The health of the "also rans."

EN SACRED KEEPING
WIDOW HELD HER HUSBAND'S
LITERARY TREASURES. .
Not All the Wealth of New York, She
Declared, Would Tempt Her to
Part with the Books
He Loved,
A New Yorker who returned a few
days ago from the Catsklll mountains
(ells of an old woman he met, who
lives In a cottage just ontside the lit
tle town of Cairo. This woman, a
Mrs. Gary, he discovered, has a valu
able collection of books which be
longed to her husband, who at one
time kept a second-hand store In
Washington, D. C, and who died about
20 years ago.
"I stumbled on the little wooden
house and its occupant by chance,"
said he, "and It Is a meeting I shall
long remember. I followed her up an
uncarpeted stair, through a bare room
to where the books were. They lined
a dozen rough shelves and littered the
lloor. Evidently they had not been
disturbed for years. Piles of hand
some volumes in worn leather covers
lay smeared in cobwebs and dust. I
stooped down to pick up a book.
"'Stop!' she .cried, grabbing my arm.
'You must not touch them! They were
his, and you must not touch them!'
"Gradually, however, she relented.
I was allowed to open some of the vol
umes under protest. Rare books they
were. Three llrst editions, which lay
half hidden in a pile of broken plaster
would have brought, I believe, a total
of $500 at a book connoisseur's sale In
Now York; one copy of Poo, which I
would have liked much to possess, lay
in a moldy condition on the sill of the
little attic window; several rare vol
umes of Dickens' works and an equal
ly rare copy of Longfellow I found be
hind an Immense traveling trunk,
squeezed and scratched deplorably.
Treasure met my hand and eye every
where. " 'Why,' I protested, 'If you took
these books to New York and placed
them with proper persons you'd make
a small fortune.'
" 'To New York?' she echoed, rasing
her hands in alarm. 'No, Indeed, all
the wealth of New York would not
tempt me to part with one of them.
They were his; that's enough for me.
"Take care of my books, Jane" that
was about tho last words he said to
me before he died. I have respected
his wish, for they arc here as he left
them. You are the first to lay a finger
on them, and you'll likely be the last,
for before I follow him I'll make sure
that his books'll fall into no strange
hands. Here, during tho latter years
of his life, on the oak chair under tho
skylight, he would sit for hours and
days on end with no company but his
books. That night that was his last
he was here for hours. When he came
down to the sitting room he could not
rest, and he said to me: "I'm going
back to my books, Jane, and mny read
till late. Get to bed if you wish, and
never mind me." So I went to bed,
and on awakening at the first glimmer
of dawn I saw I was still alone. I
cried "Andrew!" but no answer came;
then I stole out and went up stairs.
Ah, I remember as if it were yester
day. He sat here with his head down
on his chest dead. This book was
in his left hand and his right gripped
the chair arm like a vise. That other
book on the floor lay as it lies now,
open with its face down. There I have
left It lie. No hand shall touch them.'
And so we walked silently out of the
musty room, and she locked tho door."

INFANT MORTALITY is something frightful. We can hardly realize that of,"
all the children born in civilized countries, twentytwo per cent,, or nearly t
one-quarter, die before they reaoh one year; thirty seven per cent,, or more
than one-third, before they are five, and one-half before they are fifteen I ','
We do not hesitate to say that a timely use of Oastoria would savo a mac !
jority of these precious lives. Neither do we hesitate to say that many of these ,
infantile deaths are occasioned by tho use of narcotic preparations. Drops, tinctures
and soothing syrups sold for children's complaints contain moro or less opium, or
morphine. They are, in considerable quantities, deadly poisons. In any quantity
they stupefy, retard circulation and lead to congestions, sickness, death. Castoria
operates exactly the reverse, but you must seo that it bears the signature of
Chas. H. Fletcher. Oastoria causes the blood to circulate properly, opens tho
pores of the skin and allays fever.

DOCTOR SAID "USE CUTICURA"
In Bad Case of Eczema on Child
Disease Had Reached a Fearful
State His Order Resulted
in Complete Cure.
"When I wns small I was troubled
with eczema for about three months.
It was all over my face and covered
nearly all of my head. It reached
such a state that it was just a largo
scab all over, and the pain and Itching
wore terrible. I doctored with an able
physician for somo time and was then
advised by him to use tho Cuticura
Remedies which I did and I was en
tirely cured. I havo not been bothered
with It since. I used Cuticura Soap
and Cuticura Ointment but do not
know exactly how much was used to
complete the cure. I can safely say
that Cuticura did a' lot for mo. Miss

Rain from Father's Head.
A bright little boy of two summers
was unconcernedly playing near his
father, who was laboriously occupied
with a difflcult task which caused big
beads of perspiration to drop from his
forehead. Presently tho lad ceased
his play. Looking at his parent doubt
fully a moment, ho ran swiftly to his
mother and, assuming a pained ex
pression, pointed to his father, saying
plaintively: "Oo, mamma, see! Poo
