If your stomach, Heart or Kidneys are weak, try at least, a few doses only of Dr. Shoop’s Restorative. In five or ten days only, the result will surprise you. A few cents will cover the cost. And here is why help comes so quickly. Dr. Shoop doesn’t drug the Stomach, nor stimulate the Heart or Kidneys. Dr. Shoop’s Restorative goes directly to the weak and failing nerves. Each organ has its own controling nerve. When these nerves fail, the depending organs must of necessity falter. This plain, yet vital truth, clearly tells why Dr. Shoop’s Restorative is so universally successful. Its success is leading druggists everywhere to give it universal preference. A test will surely tell. Sold by All Dealers.

ATTACKS SAMUEL GOMPERS

Committeeman Objects to Report Made to Manufacturers. New York, May 18. —An attack on organized labor broke the routine of the first day’s session of the National Association of Manufacturers. Before a report on industrial education was read, it became known that Frederick W. Senyer of Milwaukee, a member of the committee, had refused to sign it on-the ground that it contained unwarranted attacks on labor and further, in his opinion, the personal views of the chairman of the committee to the exclusion of other members. A reference to Samuel Gompers to which Senyer particularly objected, reads as follows: I “To put organized labor in charge of a movement in the Interest of industrial education and trade training, would be like putting the lamb in the care of the wolf or the chicken in care of the hawk. Witness the efforts of Mr. Gompers and his lieutenants to secure class legislation in congress, their attacks on the power of the courts to issue injunctions and their proposed amendments to the anti-trust laws.” Anthony Ittner of St. Louis presented the report.

WHEN THE GREEN GITS BACK IN THE TREES.

In spring, when the green gits back In the trees, And the sun comes out and stays, And yer boots pull on with a good, tight squeeze, And you think of yer bearefoot days; When you ort to work ana you want to not, And you and yer wife agrees It’s time to spade up the garden lot, When the green gits back in the trees— Well! work is the least o’ my Lees When the green, you now, gits back in the trees!

When the green gits back. in the trees, and bges Is a-buzzin’ aroun’ again In that kind of a lazy go-as-you-please Old gait they bum roun’ in; When the groun’s all bald where the hayrick stood, -And le crick’s riz, and the breeze Coaxes the bloom in the old dogwood, And the green gits -ack in the trees— I like, as I say, In sich scenes as these. The time when the green gits back in the trees!

When the whole tailfeathers o' winter time Is all pulled out and gone! zxnd the sap it thaws and begins to climb. And the sweat it starts out on A feller’s forred, a gettin’ down At the old spring on nis knees—- - kindo’ like jest a-loafin’ roun’ When the green gits back in the trees — Jest a-potterin’ roun as I—durn—please. When the green, you know, gits back in the trees. JAMES WHITCOMB RILEY.

COLLEGEVILLE HAPPENINGS

rhe first, and an unassisted double play. All went on very smoothly to the fifth when a bad throw by Naheleisen let in a Tun. In the seventh Pandora’s box was opened and the diamond fairly sizzled with score-producing intruders. The trouwas started by Franze who, attempting to take a ball that realy belonged to the short stop, fumbled it, and then carelessly held it while the man who was on second stole third. That raised the team and when they finally came down two more runs had been scored, which with Connors’ pitching were enough to win any game. Up to the ninth Conners had diligently plied the white-wash brush. Then he became the victim of one of those uncertain freaks that now and then turn up in base ball. Two were out when he passed Birkmeier and McArdle, who was substituted for Franze, and before he could again get his bearings the Varsity had tied the score. The rooting; of the students materially assisted in the momentary undoing of Conners. It was in the eleventh inning that game closed. A row of rank errors gave the Y. M. I. four runs, and Conners holding his nerve the Varsity could do nothing with his delivery. The beginning of the game was labelled to be first class. Both, pitchers were in splendid condition, and only for the errors of their team-mates it would have been a grand pitcher’s battle. The final score does not show their great work as none of the runs were earned, but error-gifts of the rankest sort. The Varsity is very well able to give a good account of themselves off the ball field but they must learn to keep their heads at the critical stages. The score:
