This moral power be came to him a fatal gift He came to believe that he "could prevail even against the most powerful material force, and this led him to scorn certain rules, the long continued violation of which could not remain unpunished." THE SIMPLEST WAY IS THE BEST WAV A. E. Lerche of Springfield Gives Recipe for Getting Over the Blues A. E. LERCHE "If you ever get the blues," he said, "it is well to know the simplest and best way to get rid of them. Cranki ness, nervousness and general upse condition preceding the . blues usually are due to the relentless grip of con stipation on the nervous system. The simplest way to meet this condition is to have a box of Rexall Orderlies in your pocket and the best way is to take one when you feel the attack com ing on.

Oh, bitter wind toward the sun set blowing. What of the dales tonight? In yonder .gray old hall what fires are glowing. What ring of festal light? "In the great window as the day was dwindling I saw an old man stand; His head was proudly held and his eyes kindling. But the list shook in his hand." Oh. wind of twilight, was there no word uttered. No sound of joy or wail? ' A great tight and a good death,' he muttered. "Trust him. he would not fail.' " What of the chamber dark where she was lying. For whom all life Is done? "Within her heart she rocks a dead child, crying, My son, my little son.' Henry Newbolt.
