Different Methods.
Some men break into a bank
By violence and with slaughter;
And some men find an easier way
By wedding a banker's daughter.
His Idea of It.
Here the locomotive fireman spoke up.
"It makes me tired," he said, "to hear
the bosses talk about klllin' off the smoke
nuisance by 'intelligent firin'.' If I was
runnin' things I'd do a little Intelligent
firin' myself. You can bet your life on
thet. I'd fire some of the bosses."
Nathan Straus, an eastern philanthro
phist, has established in New York City
a series of milk booths where pure ster

of the enterprise. In cleansing the milk
bottles he uses two things hot water
and BORAX. The glistening bottles' tes

"Yes. How would you advise me to

"Well," If you are personally am

"Rodney's Ride."
In that soft mid-land where the breezes
bear
The North and the South on the genial
air,
Through the County of Kent on affairs
of State
Rode Caesar Rodney, the Delagate.
Burly and big and bold and bluff,
In his three-cornered hat and his coat of
snuff,
A foe to King George and the English
state
Was Caesar Rodney, the Delegate.
Into Dover Village he rode apace,
And his kinsfolk knew, from his anxious
face,
It was matter grave that had brought
him' there,
To the counties three, upon the Delaware.
"Money and men we must have," he
said,
"Or' the Congress falls and our cause is
dead;
Give us both, and the king shall not work
his will
We are Men since the blood of Bunker
Hill r
Comes a rider swift on a panting bay ;
"Hollo, Rodney, ho ! you must save the
day,
For the Congress halts at a deed so
great.
And your vote alone may decide its fate !"
Answered Rodney then: "I will ride with
speed ;
It is Liberty's stress, it ia Freedom's
need.
When stands it?" "To-night; not a mo
ment spare,
But ride like the wind from the Dela
ware." "Ho, saddle the black ! I've but half a
day,
And the Congress sits eighty miles away,
But I'll be la time, if God grants me
grace,
To shake my fist in King George's face."
He is up ; he is off 1 And the black horse
files
On the northward road ere the "God
speed I" dies.
It is a gallop and spur, as the leagues
they clear,
And the clustering milestones move a-
rear.
It is two of the clock ; and the fleet hoofs
fling
The Flelduboro' dust with a clang and
cling.
It la three; and he gallops with slack
rein where
The road winds down to the Delaware,
Four; and he spurs into Newcastle town.
From his panting steed be gets him
down
"A fresh one, quick ; not a moment wait 1
And off speeds Rodney, the Delegate.
It Is five; and the beams of the western
sun
Tinge the spires of Wilmington gold and
dun ;
Six; and the dust of the Chester street
Flies back in a cloud from his courser's
feet.
It is seven ; the horseboat, broad of beam,
At the Schuylkill ferry crawls over the
stream
And at seven-fifteen by the Rlttenhousa
clock
lie flings his rein to the tavern Jock.
The Congress is met ; the debate's begun,
And Liberty lags for the vote of one
When into the hall, not a moment late,
Walks Caesar Rodney, the Delegate.
Not a moment late, and that half-day's
ride
Forwards the world with a mighty stride ;
For the Act was passed ere the mid
night stroke
O'er the Quaker City its echoes woke.
At Tyranny's feet was the gauntlet flung
"We are free 1" all the bells through the
colonies rung.
And the sons of the free may recall with
pride
The day of Delegate Rodney's ride.

that Syrup of Figs and Elixir of

It Is the best of personal and family

on because It Is productive of so much
genuine amusement, says the Xew
j York American. Each guest who re
ceives an invitation is requested to
bring a photograph of himself or her
self taken before the age of five. All
the photographs are duly numbered,
and a list of names Is kept by the
hostess. After being collected and
shuffled they are distributed among the
players.
The fun consists in endeavoring to
trace the originals of portraits. So
many minutes are permitted for ob
servation, and then the number of the
photograph and the guess at Its Iden
tity are written on a sheet of note
paper. The pictures are then passed
on from one to another, and the same
program is gone through with the new
observer. The result of the second ob
servation Is also recorded.
This goes on until every photograph
has passed through the hands of each
guest. The lists are then Inscribed
with the players' names and are col
lected. The player who Is successful
In fixing the Identity in most cases re
ceives the first prize, and the second
and third prizes go to the "nests" In
the numlier of accurate guesses.
The sight of a perplexed player star
ing fixedly at each guest until he can
make up his mind who was the plump
boy In the velvet knickerbockers or the
chubby-cheeked girl In pinafores and
plaits Is funny. One need not be much

RHEUMATISM
CAN NOT BE RUBBED AWAY
It Is perfectly natural to rub the spot that hurts, and when the musclei
nerves, joints and bone3 are throbbing and twitching1 with the pains ot
Rheumatism the sufferer is apt ta turn to the liniment bottle, or some othefi
external application, ia an effort to get relief from the disease, by producing
counter-irritation on the flesh. Such treatment will quiet the pain tempo
rarily, but can have no direct curative effect on the real disease because it
does not reach the blood, where the cause is located. Rheumatism is mora
than skin deep it is rooted and grounded in the blood and can only ba
reached by constitutional treatment IT CANNOT BU RUBBED AWAY.
Rheumatism is due to an excess of uric acid in the blood, brought about by
the accumulation in the system of refuse matter which the natural avenues
of bodily waste, the Bowels and Kidneys, have failed to carry off. Thia
refuse matter, cominrj ia contact with the different acids of the body, forma
uric acid wnicn is absorbed into the blood and distributed to all parts of tha
body, and Rheumatism gets possession of the system. The aches and paina
are only symptoms, and though they may be scattered or relieved frr a time
by surface treatment, they will reappear ct the first exposure V cold or
dampness, or aitcr an attack of indigestion cr other irregularity. Rheuma
tism can never be permanently cured while the circulation remains saturated
with irritating, pain-producing uric acid poison. The disease will shift
from muscle to muscle or joint to joint, settling on the nerves, causing
inflammation and swelling and such terrible pains that the ncrvoua system
is often shattered, the health undermined, and perhaps the patient becomes
