’Tis a scene of a court-room from
everyday life,
Os a sad hearted woman—perhaps
some man's wife;
It’s a tale oft repeated, turned out in
the morn,
And a young life depleted of love,
leaving scorn,
“You’ll stand up,” spoke the justice,
“and mind you the truth;
God forbid you’re a woman” —“My
name sir, just Ruth.”
’Twas then no more would she tell
—they threatened and pled;
“Every one knows me too well, and
that’s all,” she said.
Johnny Smith lived in the country,
but he often longed to live in the town,
where there are so many things to see
ancl do.
One summer some boys came to
the country to board at Johnny
Smith’s house, and he saw how glad
they were to leave the city. He be
gan to wonder about it.
“I should think you would be glad
to be so near the woods and tile whole
outdoors,” said one of the boys.
“Yes, I suppose it is nice,” said
Johnnie Smith, slowly.
“You suppose,” said another, “why,
if I lived in the country, I’d be so
glad I should not know what to do!
See all the things you have!”
“Why, I haven’t much of anything,”
said Johnnie Smith. “I think it is you
who have the things.”
“Oh, but we haven’t half such nice
things as you have,” said the first.
Johnny Smith stared. “Why, what
do you mean?” he asked, when he
could find words.
“Just what I said,” the boy replied.
“We haven’t any chickens. We can’t
have cows in the city. We have no
big gardens, where you can pick your
corn fresh from the stalks every day.”
“And,” broke in another, “think what
a lucky fellow you are to have such
a lot of space to play ball in, and you
don’t have to keep off the grass!”
“Why,” said Johnny Smith, “I never
thought about that, I’ve always had
such things.”
“And we have never had them,”
said the first boy.
Johnny Smith had never known be
fore that the things he thought so
tiresome were really worth speaking
about. “Well,” said he, after a few
minutes, “I shouldn’t wonder if they
were pretty nice; and,” he said, with
pride, “ I’ve got something else!”
“What?” asked all the boys.
“Come on, and I’ll show you. It
is a mile away, in the north meadows.
Proudly he led the way. If the
boys thought the things they had seen
were worth more than their own, they
would open their eyes wider than ever
at what he had to show them in that
north meadow.
“Is that north meadow yours, too?”
“Yes,” said Johnny Smith, with joy.
“Think of owning so much land that
one of your meadows is a mile away!”
said the boy.
On they went till they came to the
meadow, and Johnny Smith took them
to a row of willows. There he show
ed them a beautiful brook, running'

The Forgotten Mother
By GILBERT PATTEN BROWN.
JOHNNY’S RICHES
Then Up rose a young lawyer. “Your
Honor, she’ll need
A counsel and I ahi sure she’ll want
me to plead;
So sir, if the Court’s willing—l’ll look
for no pay,
For she’s somebody’s mother,” the
lawyer did say.
No one in that court-room forgets that
sad scene
As the tears rolled in torrents—
what did the man mean?
She’s “acquitted,”—he’d saved her —
her troubles were o’er
As he said —“She’s my mother I
turned from my door.”

song. Then how the boys’ eyes did
widen! Think of owning not only a
meadow 4 , but a brook!
Then Johnny Smith began to show
them the Wdndbrfc of the brook. There
Wefe things in it that he Once thought
most coinirioiL NbW Were riches
indeed! There were things in there
that the city boys had never seen in
their lives! Beginning at the tdp of
the water, there were the water
striders, that ran along the surfdee of
tile brook without falling into it. Then
there were little pinfish in tile shal
low parts near the edge. There were
the “shiners,” as Johnny Smith called
the minnows that swam gaily dbodt in
the stream. There were the water
snails carrying their shell houses
round them.
The boys gaW caddls-WOrms in
queer, tiny pebble cases. They exam
ined pollywogs and frogs, and found a
lizard among the weeds. There were
crabs under stones. There was a
whirligig beetle bobbing about. There
were water-boatmen upon the mud
floor of the brook, and all at once
even a shy trout darted out from a
dark hole. What a place it was! The
boys could hardly leave when the din
ner-hour came.
Never, after that summer, was John
ny Smith known to wish for things he
did not have. He began to think of
the things he owned. They were no
longer poor, common things. He lov

lost robin.
In the country school at Holly Wood,
there was a boy named Robin West —
a pale, sickly little fellow, but with a
big heart throbbing under his patched
jacket, and a big brain behind his
broad brow, that made him stand al
ways at the head of his class. He
was the only son of a widow, and when
asked why he studied so hard, and
trudged to school in rain or shine,
though often poorly clad, he answered,
“Because I want to make a smart
man, and be able to support my moth
er and make a lady of her.”
So, he never missed a day from
school, though often his feet ached
with the bitter frost, until one cold,
snowy day, he was not in his accustom
ed place when the bell rang, and the
scholars said, “He will come presently;
he lives a long way off, over the hills,
and the snow is deep.” But he did not
come; his place was vacant all day,
and that evening after sunset, jyst as

A Talk

Every good mother is something of

She is called upon almost daily to
practice medicine in the lesser ail
ments of the chiidrca.
i’reqhently she is forced to use her
skill on more ifapoffftnt diseases un

Hence every mother should Dd

methods of sanitation and medical
practice as possible.
Here are some valuable medical
facts which every mother ought to

4. —The modern treatment of croup, colds,
catarrh and pneumonia with Vick’s Croup
and Pneumonia Salve permits plenty of
fresh air to enter the lungs, avoids inter
ference with digestion by stomach medica
tion and instead attacks the disease at the
real seat of infection, the air passages of
of head, throat and lungs.
5. The process Involves the application
of antiseptic and healing vapors direct to
the internal linings of the air passages, by
inhalation, with plenty of good fresh air.

The fever is reduced by elimination of the
congestion, which is its cause?
In cases of croup, breathing becomes
easier immediately and in fifteen minutes
the case is relieved.
Similar excellent results are secured by
using Vick’s as a salve for various forms of
diseases due to inflammation or congestion.
The price of Vick’s Croup and Pneumonia
Salve is 25c, 50c and SI.OO at druggists, or
