‘FOT WOULD YOU TAKE FOR ME.”
She was ready for bed and lay on my arnt,
In her little frilled cap so fine,
With her golden hair falling out at the edge,
Like a circle of noon sunshine.
And I hummed the old tune of “Banbury
Cross,”
And “ Three Men who put out to Sea,’
When she speedily said, as she closed her blue
eyes,
“ Papa, fot would you take for me S"
And I answered: “A dollar, dear little
heart,"
And she slept, baby weary with play,
But I held her warm in my love-strong arms,
And I rocked her and rocked away.
Oh, the dollar meant all the world to me,
The land and the sea and sky,
The lowest depths of the lowest place,
The highest of all that’s high.
The cities, with streets and palaces,
Their pictures and stores of art,
I would not take for one low, soft throb,
Of my little one’s loving heart.
Nor all the gold that was ever found
Iu the busy, wealth-finding past
Would I take for one smile of my darling’s
face,
Did I know it must be the last.
So I rocked my baby and rocked away,
And I felt such a sweet content,
For the words of the song expressed to me
more
Than they ever before had meant.
And the night erept on, and I slept and
dreamed
Of things far too glad to bo.
And I wakened with lips saying close to my
ear, .
“Papa, fot would you take for me ?”

“Nasal Voices, Catarrh and False
Teeth.”
A prominent English woman says the
American women all have high, shrill, nasal
voices and false teeth.
Americans don’t liko the constant twitting
they fact get about this nasal twang, and yet it is
a phere, caused and the by our dry stimulating'atmos¬
universal presence of catar¬
rhal diflluities.
But why should so many of our women
have false teeth?
That is more of a poser to the English. It
is quite impossible to account for it except
--the theory of deranged stomach action
caused by imprudence iu eating and by want
° coudffTonfare
Both unnatural.
Catarrhal troubles everywhere prevail
and end in cough and consumption, which
are promoted by mal-nutrition induced by
deranged modern stomach action. The condition is
a one, one unknown to oar ancestors
who prevented the catarrh, cold, cough and
consumption what by abundant and regular use of
is uovv known as Warner’s Log Cabin
dies Cabm'sarsaparilla^Two old-fashioned'Veni^
han led down from our ancestors, and
now est exclusively put forth linger the strong
guarantees of purity and efficacy by the
world-famed makers of Warner’s safe cure,
These two remedies plentifully used as the
spring positive and summer seasons advance give a
assurance of freedom, both from
catarrh and those dreadful and, if neglected,
troubles and consumption, which lung
so gen
erally and fatally prevail among our people.
Comrade Eli Fisher, of Salem, Henry Co.,
Iowa, served four years in the late war and
contracted a disease called consumption by
the doctors. He had frequent hemorrhages.
After using Warner's Log Cabin Cough and
Consumption Jan. remedy, he says, under date of
19th, 1888: “ I do not bleed at the lungs
any I do more, have my cough does not bother me, and
not any more smothering spells.”
Warner’s Log Cabin Rose Cream cured his
wife of catarrh and she is “sound and well.’
Of course we do not like to have our women
called nose talkers and false teeth owners,
but these conditions can be readily overcome
in the manner indicated.
Insarance Experience.
The Engli?li life insurance companies
have established two district tariffs for
abstainers aud non abstainers. One
company makes immediate advance pay¬
ment, of eight per cent, of the sum pay¬
able at death, to every one abstaining from
alcoholic drinks. The application for
life insurance made by drink retailers
and others employed in the liquor trade
are never accepted By the directors of the
companies. One of the oldest and most
important London companies, “The U.
Iv. Temperance and General Provident
Institution,” founded in 1840, admits
since 1847 both abstainers and non
abstainers. During the period of 1860
to 1881, according to calculations of
probabilities, the temperance section,
likely to die, numbered 2,418, whereas
the real result was only 1,704, or about
70 per cent., and in the section of non¬
abstainers, according to the probabili¬
ties, the number should have been 4,081,
whereas the real number of deaths was
4,004, or about 99 per cent. The result
for 1881 and 1885 was the same.
Emperor William’s Monument.
Much discussion has arisen already in
Berlin as to the location of the great
equestrian monument which will be
erected to the late Kaiser. Public pref¬
erence is about equally divided between
the Parisien Platz, which is at the west
end of the Under den Linden, and a po¬
sition in the Operahaus Platz Frederick at the east¬ the
ern extremity, whore
Great’s splendid memorial is already
reared, or in the space further along in
front of the old Schloss. The Vosskhe
Zeitung declares, however, that the old
Kaiser long ago decided that the location
should be in the Thiergaren, near the
column of Victory.
Tlic Cows Were Watered.
“Mamma,” said a Connecticut avenue
girl, just returning from a visit talking to a
Maryland farm, “you are always much
about nice country milk and how
better and richer it is than the milk you
get in the city, but I think you arc mis
taken* b
“I don’t think I am,” replied the
mother.
“Well, I know you are, for they used
to water the cows twice every day while
I was at Aunt Ann’s."
The poor mother went up stairs and
shed a few scalding tears.— Washington
Critic.
