NO COMING BACK. Ev'ry one's coming back to town But father he won't come; Mother's back, with a Pari a gown Which cost a tidy sum; Mabel's back from Newport gay, Helen's here from the shore; Archie's back from camp, and say, He won't go any more. Even the cat and dog are back The nursemaid brought them in; The cook, Estelle, the chauffeur Jack, Add now to New York's din; Ev'ry one's coming back but pop; You see, he never went; In town the old chap had to stop And dig up ev'ry cent.

"Up to 2 years ago." a woman writes i was In the habit of using both tea and coffee regularly. "I found that my health was beginning to fall, strange nervous attacks would come suddenly upon me. making me tremble so excessively that I could not do my work while they lasted; my sleep left me and I passed long nights in restless discomfort. I was filled with a nervous dread as to the future. "A friend' suggested that possibly tea and coffee were to blame, and I decided to give them up. and in casting about for a hot table beverage, which I felt was an absolute necessity, I was led by good fortune to try Postum. "For more than a year I have used it three times a day and expect, so much good has It done me, to continue Ha use during the rest of my life. "Soon after beginning the use of Postum, I found, to my surprise, that, instead of tossing on a sleepless bed through the long, dreary night. 1 dropped Into a sound, dreamless sleep the moment my head touched the pillow. "Then I suddenly realised that all my nervousness had left me, and my appetite which had fallen oft before, had all at once been restored so that I ate my food with a keen relish. . "AH the nervous dread has gone. I walk a mile and a half each way to my work every day and enjoy it. I find an interest in everything that goes on about me that makes life a pleasure. All this I owe to leaving off tea and coffee and the use of Postum, for t have taken no medicine." Name given by Postum Co., Battle Creek, Mich.

TO CONTINUE AS DIRECTOR That Arturo Toscanini will continue is musical director of the Metropolitan Opera house, probably for years to come, was the information received in New York last week. As previously announced, Mr. Toscanini received an offer in the early summer to officiate at the opera in Buenos Aires, under a contract calling for his services the entire year, but decided to accept an engagement for only the three summer months. It is said that Toscanini will receive $34, 000 for his three months in Buenos Aires. AT INDIANAPOLIS. Geraldine Farrar, who will appear in Indianapolis, Oct. 18, is charged with being the chief impediment to the converting of the Metropolitan Opera House into an institution where all operas are sung in English. The charge comes, however, from a New York man who translates librettos for amusement and then bewails the stubbornness of managers and singers who refuse to use them. FAREWELL CONCERT. The announcement of a farewell concert by Vladimir De Pachmann, the distinguished pianist, to be given at the Grand opera house, Oct. 24, at 3:30 p. m., has aroused a widespread interest among musicians and all those who follow musical affairs generally. De Pachmann has always been a favorite with local audiences w ho have not had the opportunity of hearing him for a number of years. While celebrites are fond of announcing their farewell tours for purposes of their own the announcement in this case is strictly in keeping with the truth, for De Pachmann is no longer a young man and lives in superstitious terror of the sea voyage which must invariably precede his American tours. He has been in the East for several months with his traveling companion recovering from the ocean trip and preparing his programs for his season which opens shortly Cincinnati Commercial Tribune.

VOLUME OF VERSE BY

Interesting Work Issued Yesterday by the Nicholson Press of This City Dr. Webster Case a Spectacle of Puerility.

BY ESTHER GRIFFIN WHITE- j Louise Vickroy Boyd, whose posthu-; mous volume of verse was issued yesterday through the Nicholson J Press, of this city, was a striking per-; sonality, and a poetic writer of con- j siaeration, ner product navmg appeared in many of the leading magazines of her day. She died two years ago at an advanced age. For many years she was a resident of this county, in Dublin, although an Eastern woman, having married Dr. S. S. Boyd of the latter town and coming at once to Indiana, with whose literary interests she was long identified. The writer was made by Mrs. Boyd her literary executor and the former has edited the volume of verse which contains that part of Mrs. Boyd's product which she deemed worthy of preservation in book form, many of her poems having been published in such well known periodicals as the Atlantic Monthly, the Century, Scribner's, Country Life in America, Harper's Young People, Wide Awake, and, at an early period in the Knickerbocker Magazine, Appleton's Journal and other magazines of like calibre. In the preface It is said of Mrs. Boyd : "Louise Vickroy Boyd was alien to her environment and to her day. "For her setting she should have had an eighteenth century or mid-Victorian salon. She was a remarkable, virile, picturesque human manifestation. She possessed the true poetic spirit. Hers was an impassioned nature. She was swayed by subtle emotions. The loftiest sentiment found in her an instant appeal. ' Anachronistic as was the combination of her masculine intellectuality with her thorough-going femininity, this was not, altogether, the cause of the misunderstanding that frequently attended her, which was more to be attributed to her native cosmopolitanism and catholicity among the insular. "A delightful menage was that of Dr. and Mrs. Boyd in Dublin. One of j brimming hospitality and much good talk, for Dr. Boyd's geniality and ne literary sense, his love of nature and humorously whimsical outlook, admirably complemented Mrs. Boyd's poetic gifts, her erudition constantly in evidence, and her forceful and erratic utterances. "One of the earliest exponents of "votes for women," she was identified with the leaders of the suffrage movej ment conspicuous in her prime. I "An advocate of many of the broadest tenets of Socialism, she had a long i correspondence with William Morris, who sent her his autographed photo- ; graphed. ! "Not alone in her attitude toward jthe great social movements just nam- ; ed, to w hose adherence at that time it j took much high-born courage, but in t her prescience toward the more adi vancea" thought of her later years, was ! Mrs. Boyd "attuned." j The volume is a handsome one, i bound in green cloth, with an introduction by Grace Julian Clarke, as well i as the preface just quoted from, which gives the facts of her life and the hisi tory of her literary achievements. It lis printed on deckle-edged paper and has a pictorial frontis-piece of Mrs. Boyd. - j Here is Mrs. Boyd's definition of poetry : Once Echo showed to me her gentle face, And once a Shadow spoke sweet words to me, Then Shadow-music married EchoGrace, And lo! their fairer child was Poetic. Of all the spectacles of puerility commend the multitude to the Dr. When you feel JUgarsJ: vous. tired, worried or despondent it is a sure sign you need MOTTS NERVERINE PILLS.

It is always the women's fault. If they would only let us men alone we would be all right.

Cometimes they fool people and sometimes they don't. A real fraud, however, is shrewdly aware that people, after a while, will accept him at his own value simply because they get bored with trying to make him out.

A book of this character serves a significant purpose for it brings to the attention of a class not to be reached by more scholarly treatises the beauties of a science that can be studied

in a provincial environment with very few accessories, and also emphasises the unrivaled opportunities for observation in the clear sweep of sky afforded by a rural residence. While Mr. Snyder makes no literary or scientific pretentions be holds two degrees from Miami University, a B. S. and an A.

It is a phase of social activity in this section that should not go onnoted. Easier To Remove Than Conceal Wrinkles (National Hygienic Review.) "When you try to conceal your wrinkles with paste made from beans, you deceive yourself, not me. Let a defect, which is possibly but small, appear undisguised. A fault concealed is presumed to be great." This little epigram of Martial's suggests the present day tendency to avoid the use of cosmetics which can only conceal or hide facial defects, and to adopt instead rational means of removing the same. For the remov al of wrinkles, saggy cheeks and baggy chins, the saxolite prescription, which goes to the foundation of these troubles, seems to have come into general use since its virtues became known but a short time ago. One ounce of saxolite, procurable at any drug store is dissolved in a halt pint witch hazel. Used as a wash lotion this tightens the skin immediately, effectually smoothing out wrinkles and "drawing in" hanging skin or folds. C. H. HADLEY Meat Market Phone 2591 123$ Uzia
