Midsummer
M
^gfiT
D, the rustling of the leaves on the trees,
And the shimmer of the sun on the
wheat,
And the. droning monotone of the bees
As they dip into the blooms pink and
sweet—
Ah, the lazy, lazy peace of the noon
With the sun overhead standing still,
And the breezes in a lullaby croon
As they sigh over valley and hill.
And the dancing of the dust in the lane
Where the clover nods its heads as we.
pass!
While the tree-toad sadly calls for the
rain
And a ripple like a dream stirs the;
grass!
[s there anything that’s ever half so fair,
As a summer day with all the world
adoze,
With a haunting sense of slumber ip the.
air
While the day drifts calmly on unto its
close?
From the brooklet hidden deep in the
wood
Comes a plashing that is soft as a
song
That is murmured till but half under-
stood
And whose cadence seems to last over-
long.
And the silver of the far, sailing clouds
That are whiter for the glint of the
sun—
Can the city, w>th its noise and its crowds
Weave a fabric such as here has been
spun?
Ah, t>emystic, dappled gloom of the
\ shahtr-
Where the forest stands all silent and
■ COOl,!' _
And the mirror that the blue sky has
made
. On the bosom of th@'deep, glassy pool-!
[And remember, on a day such as that ■
You were fussing, arid the world ran
amiss,
For you grumbled as you fanned with
your hat . ,
That you wanted, qulbk, a day such as
this!)
CHANCE TO PROVE IT.
Mabel—Did you see where that
ictress sued her leading man because
e squeezed her so hard?
Deorge—Ha! Ha! Yes, he said it
was one of the eccentricities , of
geffilus.
jMabel—I heard papa say you were a
geinius, George.
V
Mary's Lamb, Etc.
Mary had a little lamb,
With mint sauce. Ere she’d gone
She ate so much that Cholly had
.To put his watch in pawn.
His Record.
Lecturer—The camel can go for
weeks without water, thus showing the
greater endurance possessed by the
brute creation.
Col. Dimkitt—(Rising in rear of hall)
—I wish, suh, suh, to confute youah
statement, suh. I am in no ways al-
lied to the brute creation, suh, but I
have gone without watah fo’ twenty
yeahs, suh!
Sure to Know It.
Riggs—So foolish of Jiggs to spend
all his. inheritance having himself tat-
tooed,
| Sniggs—Yes. Why did he?
I Riggs—Said he wasn’t going to be
oce, of those fellows who could be
skinned out of his legacy without
fcn&Dwing it.
JUST A LITTLE TOO HASTY
Mr. Newlywed Resented What % He
Considered Impertinence, but the
Joke Was on Him.
They were on their wedding tour,
and imagined that every civility giv-
en them related to their new condi-
tion of servitude.
Having stopped at a way station,
the bridegroom was approached by
the station agent, who asked:
“Are you going to take the next
train?”
“It’s none of your business,” re-
torted the bridegroom, indignantly, as
he guided the bride up the platform,
where they condoled with each other
over the impertinence of some of the
natives.
Onward came the train, its vapor
curling from afar. It was the last to
their destination that day—an ex-
press. Nearer and nearer it came at
full speed; then in a moment it whiz-
zed past and was gone.
“Why in thunder didn’t that train
stop!” yelled the bridegroom.
"Cos you said Itwarn’t none of my
bizness. I has to signal if that train’s
to stop.”
Brewer's Rule.
It was common knowledge that at
twelve o’clock noon the wealthy brew-
er called in all the poor men in the
neighborhood who warmed themselves
over store and factory gratings and
made them small presents of food,
clothing or money. The brewery grat-
ings alone possessed, no occupants.
"We don’t care to stand there on ac-
count of the fumes,” said one unfor-
tunate who had been requested to va-
cate the trunkmaker’s grating. “He
won’t give to anybody who smells
beery.”
MENINGITIS, ETC.
PRECAUTIONARY MEASURES.
Disinfect Every Suspicious Spot.
The Boards of Health have issued
notices with suggestions to prevent the
prevalent diseases: Meningitis, Scar-
let Fever, Diphtheria,, etc. Personal
cleanliness is important and your
premises should be kept in a sanitary
condition. The- telephone transmitter
is a possible means of infection. The
mouthpiece should be frequently wiped
with a cloth moistened in an odorless
disinfectant. Places where disease
germs may develop, the cellar, nooks
behind plumbing and all spots that
can’t be reached by- the scrubbing
brush should be freely sprinkled with
a mixture of one (1) part of Platt’s
Chlorides and ten (10) parts of water.
This dilution -costs less than 5 cents a
quart. The last thing at night pour in-
to the traps of the closets, wash-basins,
sinks, etc., just a little Platt’s Chlo-
rides. It is an odorless, colorless liquid
disinfectant which instantly * destroys
foul odors and disease-breeding mat-
ter. Platt’s Chlorides is stronger, safef
and cheaper than carbolic acid and
all druggists sell it in full quart bottles.
Child's Reasoning.
“I can’t tell you anything about my
grandpa,” said solemn little Eustace,
questioned by a happier comrade as to
his more recent ancestor, “because I
never had any. All my grandparents
died before I was born.”
“But you had grandparents just the
same, dear,” interpolated a listening
adult. “The fact that they died before
you were born doesn’t alter the fact
that they were your grandparents.”
“But if our fathers and mothers had
died before we were born they
wouldn’t have been our fathers and
mothers, would they ?” the wondering
child questioned. “So I don’t see how
what you say can be true.”
The Effect of Sleeping in Cars
Is the contracting of cold, which often
results seriously to the lungs. Never
neglect a cold, but take in time Tay-
lor’s Cherokee Remedy of Sweet Gum
and Mullein—nature’s great cough
medicine. For all throat and lung
troubles, Whooping Cough, etc.
At druggists, 25c., 50c. and $1.00 a
bottle.
Young America’s Reply.
"Why did Shylock want a pound of
flesh?”
“I suppose he knew that the price
of meat was going up.”
Mrs. Winslow’s Soothing Syrup for Children
teething, softens the gums, reduces inflamma-
tion, allays pain, cures wind colic, 25c a bottle.
If a leap year girl has money to
burn it isn’t difficult for her to find a
young man willing to furnish a match.

MENT fails to cure any case of Itching, Blind,
Bleeding or Protruding Piles in 6 to 14 days. 60c.
Stella—More than that; it is as big
as the whole of Alabama.
HOUSEWORK IS A HEAVY BURDEN
The woman who “keeps, house” has
enough to do when she is in good, sound
health, but if she is weak, tired all the
time, and suffering from mom to night
with an aching back, house-work becomes
a heavy burden.
Many women who were afflicted in this
way say that Doan’s Kidney Pills have
made life easier for them.
Women are subject to kidney disease.
The clothing they wear, the work they do,
the worry" and strain of bearing and rear-
ing children, the lack of proper exercise;
all tend to it.
Backache, bearing-down pains, headache,
dizzy spells, faintness, fits of “blues,” and
other troubles often thought to be peculiar
to the sex, are found frequently in kidney
disease. When any one of these ills ap-
pears, together with a discolored condi-
tion of the kidney secretions, with passages
too frequent, scanty or burning, just make
up your mind that your kidneys are weak,
and be quick to help them.
Doan's Kidney Pills have helped a great
many weak women through the trying
times when kidney disease means so much
added misery-.^ They do not disturb the
Btomach or bowels and contain no poison-
ous, dangerous nor habit-forming drugs.
Doan’s are harmless for children too.'

The following case is typical of the cures
effected by Doan’s Kidney Pills. Grateful
testimony is the b$st evidence.
DRIVEN ALMOST CRAZY.
A Terrible Tale of Kidney Suffering.
' Mrs. H. W. Heagy, 1515 L St., Bakers-
field, Cal., says: “My kidney trouble began
in the fall of 1907. I used remedy after
remedy prescribed by physicians but no re-
lief came and I was in despair. On ac-
count of the numbness and grating sensa-
tion I could not lie down comfortably and
some nights I was not in bed half an hour.
I became so nervous and restless I hardly
knew what to do. Hot waves came over
me like a flash and I became so dizzy that
I staggered. I had a feeling as if there
was gravel in my bladder, the kidney se-
cretions acting too freely at times, while
again they were very scant and accom-
panied by terrible pain. I cannot describe
the suffering I endured for over two years.
Finally I began using Doan’s Kidney Pills
and while I did not notice much relief for
a week or so, I continued persistently apd
when I had taken eight boxes I was feel-
ing fine. The numbness and smarting fin-
ally left, the kidney secretions became
clear and natural and my health improved
one hundred percent. Doan’s Kidney Pills
cured me at a time* when it seemed that
I would go crazy and I never can express
my gratitude.”

No Waves.
A young mother who still considers
Marcel waves as the most fashionable
way of dressing the hair was at work
on the job. "** -**v- -
The precocious child was crouching
on its father’s lap, the baby fingers
now and then sliding over'the smooth
and glossy pate which is father’s.
“No waves for you, father,” re-
marked the Little One. “You’re all
beach.”
