PULSE OF THE PRESS.
i GUESS SHE WAS RiGHT-
(San Franciso Chronicle)
I told say love with many sighe that she
was sweet and sweeter;
That all the world held not a prize that
I would deem completer,
I Yawed open my bended knees she fain
er waa than other.
Inolnding all the dainty belles and also
all their mothers,
I swore by Oapid and his bow that in
the wide oreation
She, she alone, was heaven-sent to prove
nes life's salvation.
I told her divers things like these, still
you might deem me daffy,
But she -she merely smiled and said, "I
think yon give me taffy."
That I was booked I hero admit; it
seemed a cataolyem
To drop down from, my height of love to
such a black abysm,
I groped iu anguish for a time, and suf.:
fered most extremely,
But dwelling on that sorrow now, I
judge, were soaroely'Seemly,
For Time and I have cooled since then;
our second wind we're getting;
My broken heart le seared and healed,
old Time the deed abetting,
And though her conduct was quite rude,
and also not polite, sir,
I guess I'd be, ter here confess that that
dear girl was right, sir,
We do not like these investigations by
partisan commissioners into the conduot
of public officials. Is lit necessary that
!snob inquiries in Ontario should, always
be conducted by Conservative commis -
alone with Conservative counsel? It is
best not to involve the judiciary is these
proceedings, and yet it is difficult, if not
impossible, for a Liberal official to get
justice from a board appointed at the de-
mand of Conservative partisans and con-
stituted of Conservative partisans.
Moreover, its action is bound to be
challenged even when substantial justice
is done. Surely it cannot be disputed
that what we need is an independent
non-partisan civil service board, before
which any official can get a fair hearing,
and whose judgement will be accepted
by the general community. ---Toronto

Constipation,

Mr. J. A. Buchner, Port Robinson.
Ont., writes: --"For many years I was
the unhappy victim of kidney trouble
rheumatism and constipation, which be-'
came so bad as to make life a burden. 1
Was a Constant sufferer and at times com-
pletely unfit for anything. The appetite
was fickle, and Y became thin and etna-
dated. I could not sleep and would
ariee languid and enfeebled.
"A friend advised the use of Dr.thasee
Aldney-Liver Pills, and I am thankful
that they fell into my bands. The first
box gave relief find hope and T continued
to isle these pills until the time came
when I was enjoying my former good
beelth and vigor. It took about ci ht

HAVE YOU CATARRH?
Breathe Hyomei and Get Rllief and
Cure -Sold under Guarantee.
If you have eattarrh, with offensive
breath, burning pains in the throat,
coughing, raising of mucous, difficulty
in breathing, sneezing, huskiness, dis-
charge from the nose, tickling and drop-
ping at the back of th•t throat, especially
at ni'eht, conghine epasms, etc., begin
the use of Hyomei at once.
Its Healing medication will give relief
id a few days and its continued use will
completely drive all catarrhal germs
from the system.
Hyomei contains Nature's healing oils
and balsams, the germ -killing properties
of the pine -forests, and goes with the
air you breathe to the most remote cells
of the respiratory organs, searching out
and killing all catarrhal germs and sooth-
ing and healing auy irritation there may
be in the mucous membrane, It is easy
and pleasant to use Hyomei, pleasanter
than most of the stomach dosing, as it is
healing air and is breathed through a
neat pocket inhaler, which oan be carried
in the purse or vest-pocket, and carries
medication to just the spot where relief
is needed.
The complete Hyomei outfit costs brit
$1 00, extra bottles, if needed, 50o. We
do not want anyone's money unless Hy-
omei gives relief and cure, and we ab-
solutely agree thatmoney will be rotund -
ed unless the remedy gives satisfaction.
All drnggists should be able to supply
you with Hyomei or we well send it by
mail on receipt of price, and every pack-
age is sold with the distinct understand-
ing that it costs nothing unless it cures.
Write as to -day for a symptom blank,
which we will send you free, together
with treatise on Catarrh and how to
our. it. When yon fill in and return to
us the symptom blank, our consulting

WHEN FATHER RODE THE GOAT.
(Monnt'Pernon (111.) News.)
The house is full of arnica,
And mystery profound;
We do not care to run about
Or make the slightest sound;
We leave the big piano shut,
And do not strike a note.
The dootor's been here several times
Since father rode the goat.
He joined the lodge a week ago -
Got in at 4 a. m.,
And sixteen brethren brought him home,
Though he says that he brought them.
His wrist was sprained, and one big rip
Had rent his Sunday coat -
There must of been a lively time
When father rode the goat,
He's resting on the conoh to day,
And practicing bis t•igns-
The hailing signal, working grip,
And other monkeyshines;
He mutters passwords 'neath his breath,
And other things he'll quote -
They surely had an evening's work
When father rode the goat.
He has a georgeous uniform.
All gold and red and bine:
A hat with plumes end yellow braid,
And golden badges, too.
But a nnehow when we mention it
He wears a look so grim,
We wonder if he rode the goat,
Or if the goat rode him.

This nitrogen problem is the most im-

ployed are failures in that they permit
too much foreign matter to be carried
Into the cistern to decay and become
filthy.
So from knowledge gained from ac-
tual experience I decided that the
proper thing would be to keep the
dirt out of the cistern, where It can
be removed; to have a filter that cast
be renewed easily and without dfs-,

I made au experiment which Ilan
proved a success. In digging a cis-`

against insects and toads. By the sidtt
of the big cistern dig a little filtering

to fifteen barrels. Wall, arch and awl

the center of the bottom, which should
be slightly basin shaped; dig and ce-;

enough to receive a bucket that will'
hold five or six gallons or more. Rev*,
the bottom of the bucket perforated
with small holes. Have a strong balii
to the bucket by whist to lift it out.
Have a strong flange around the out-•
side close to the top as can be to rest
tight on the bottom of filtering cistern
