Tis a snered place where a mother's heart Hides the treasures no gold can-buy Away from the busy world apnrt, From the gaze of the careless eye. Olt when the burden too heavy grows To the shrine of her love she lares, Aud finds sweet rest at tho long day's close In the little batk room upstairs. A broken bat in the corner stands Where he left It one holiday; Fmooth worn by clasp of his boyish hands Ere he kissed her and went away. Ah, tho boy alio kitscd a lond goodbye When he laced with a smile life's cares How oltcn the tears bedim her eyes In the little back room upstairs. A broken drum and a Noah's ark, And a trumpet with buttered bell, Aro laid away in the corner dark; But euch has a tale to tell The mother who when her heart is sore, Seeks a solace for all her cares In the broken toys that strew the floor Ol the little back room upstairs. Oh, dear the relics sho hides away From the gaze ol the thoughtless tbrong, And wets with lears at the close of day When the grim twilight la long. A holy place where the mother heart Finds a balm lor tho pnin it bears, For her dead bubo's toys have a sacred part In the little back room upstairs. Alone she steals to the sacred shrine When the toil of tho day Is done, And as the tears in her dear eyes shine Sho is kissing them one by one. Alone? Not so; lor the mother-heart In midst of its earnest prayers, . r Knows God In Ills goodness hasa part In the little backroom upstairs. ., Pot and Kettle. Eagerly "Ha! Ha! Ha!

I watched them tor a while and blamed if Pete didn't sell the old man a gold brick, a phoney watch, and a glass diamond, and then work him for a cold hundred on the padlock game. The way th6 old hayseed looked when he thought how he'd beat Pete the Bunco on the gold brick and. glass diamond tickled me almost Jto death.. Ha! Ha?" w Beverly 'Ha! Ha! Ha! I "wish I had seen it.

An hour of do it now is worth a whole day next week. . . ; A Christmas gift without love is like salt without savor. Greed for gold cannot ' live in the same heart with love of the. Lord. Living today on tomorrow's salary is a sure sign of financial indigestion. The average school boy rather en vies the man who has no hair to comb. Some beliefs that may be pleasant to live by are invariably poor things! to die by. ' Solomon said a great many wise things, but he performed more fool ish things.

Thlt is impossible. But it will drive irom theiffl the poison that causes pain and swelling $ then that is the end of Rheumatism. MJ this so well that I will furnish for a mil noX my Rheumatic Cure on trial. I cannot cure ill cases within a month. It would be unreaonil blc tp expect that. But most cases will Vield within 30days. This trial treatme.it w 1 con. vince you that Dr. Shoop's Rheumatic Cure is a power against Rheumatism a potent forca against disease that Is irresistible. My offer is made to convince you of my ratth My faith is but the outcome of experience-of actual knowledge I know what It can do. And I know this so well that I will furnish my rem edy on trial. Bimply write me a postal tor my book on Rheumatism. I will then nrrnnge wltn a druggist In your vicinity so that you can se cure six bottles of Dr. Shoop's Rheumatic Curs to make the test. You can take it a lull month on trial. If it succeeds tho cost to you Is $5.50. If it fails tho loss is mine ana mine alone. It will be left entirely to you. I menn that exactly. If you say tho trial Is not satisfactory I don't ex pect a penny trom you. I have no Bamplcs. Any mere sample that can affect chronic Rheumatism must he drugged to the Verge of danger. I use no such drugs or it is dangerous to take them. You must get the disease out of tho blood. My remedy does that even in the most difficult, obstinate cases. It has cured the oldest cases that 1 ever met, and in all ol my experience, in all of my 2.00t tests, I never found another remedy that would cura one chronic case In ten. Write mo and I will send you the book. Try my remedy for a month, for it can't harm you anyway. If it fails the loss is mine. Address Dr. Shoop, Box 515, Racine, Wis. Mild cases not chronic are olten cured by one r two bottles. At all druggists. fool courts it in order to exhibit his weakness. This is the season of year when a lot of men who drank intoxicauls last summer to cool themselves oil, drink more to warm themselves up. The man who is fond-, of. declaring .that he means, everything he says us ually talks so much that he con vinces people that he is wrong. If we had gold bricks to sell we would confine ourselves to dealing with men who imagine that they are too wise to helieve in the Bible. Perhaps you have noticed that the husband who enjoys the most home comforts is the one who never faiis to notice when his wife 'dons a new hat or dress. Some people are so worried about the state of the unfortunate heathens that they take no thought of the vic ious literature that falls into the hands of their children. Easy on Him.
