THE ANT AND THE SLUGGARD.
[Rewritten for the Times.]
Consider the life of the sluggard, O ant!
Why ruin your lungs with that torturing
pant f
Why climb with your burden those weari
some steeps,
While the sluggard at ease so restfully
sleeps?
He drifts without care on a river of
dreams,
While the sweat from your forehead iu
running in streams;
And when lean from your labor your
hoardings you crunch,
He’ll feed, fresh and fat, at the charity
t lunch.
’Twixt cradle and grave but brief is your
race
If you gallop through life at this strenuous
pace;
To your ruinous folly pray open your eyes:
Consider the sluggard, O ant. and be wise!

After Six Year* of Misery iand Wrong
Treatment.
John A. Enders, of Robertson Ave
nue, Pen Argyi, Pa., suffered for six
t years with stinging
pain in the back, vio
lent headaches and
dizzy spells, and was
assured by a special
ist that his kidneys
were all right,though
thesecretions showed
a reddish, brick-dust
sediment. Not satisfied, Mr. Enders
started using Doan's Kidney Pills.
"The kidneys began to act more reg
ularly,” he says, “and in a short time
I passed a few gravel stones. I felt
better right away, and since then
have had no kidney trouble.”

Horace L. Moore was Lieutenant-Col
onel of the noted 19th Kansas Cavalry.
He oould lead men for a longer period
without rest, on a single ration of
cheerful humor, than any other officer
Though not given to jokes, he was the
reputed author of as many astonishers
as the great Lincoln.
One tiirie on the march he sent an
orderly with a message to an officer at
some distance. Before the man was
out of hearing Moore shouted: "Hey,
orderly! Come back here!”
He came galloping back, sitting
limply In the saddle.
Moore dropped hi3 voice, and assum
ing a half confidential manner inquir
ed: "Orderly, in the course of your
life have you ever seen a snail?”
“Yes, sir,” was the astonished re
ply.
“You met him, then,” replied Moore,
"for you’d never overtake one!” —
