The dark hath many dear avails;
The dark distils divinest dews;
The dark is rich with nightin-

With dreams and with the
heavenly muse.

Took a Friend’s Advice
Houston, Texas—“When 1 was
comparatively a young woman I Ue-
c a m c afflicted
w i l li woman’s
trouble and got
so I could hard-
ly walk. I had
a delicacy i n
submitting m y
case to the doc-
tors. Finally a
friend advised
me to try Dr.
• Pierce’s Favorite
Prescription. 1
did so. and be-
fore I had faken three bottles J
was all right. Later on in life 1
became afflicted with a kind of poi-
son in my blood; for this I took the
‘Golden Medical Discovery’, and
gradually my blood became pure. I
never again had anything like eithet
of these afflictions.”—Mrs. D. M.

Red Light Easily Best
for Signaling Purposes
It Is ascui'tnlnod from (he bureau
of sttndurdsi, in the Department of
1 Oomratrce, that the red light leads all
the rest for signaling purposes, Us
, risibility far outranging lights of any
; sther color. A grasp of the truth now
Scientifically demonstrated of course
accounts for the selection of red in the
railroad service, on the highway and
xi theaters for the “danger" light. Its
jse In thenters and public hnlls, where
t might suddenly become necessary
for a crowd of people to seek sufety
through emergency exits, has been
criticized on the ground that green,
not red, Is the “safety” light. But
there is common understanding of the
meaning of the red light when It
marks a fire-exit, and the use of It to
pide a panicky assemblage to safety
is justified, inasmuch as for catching
she eye there is no color so effective
is red.
No departure from long customary
iraflic practice Is to be expected ns a
ronsequence of the Intensive study of
lignal lights, which the bureau of
itandurds is tnuking In co-operation
ivith the national safety council, the
fnilroads and highway organizations,
although some difference In the
iliades of ttie colors now in use may
pe recommended. Green is scientifi-
cally proved to be a far second to red
in visibility, yellow, and blue following
jri order, concludes the Providence
journal.

A. H. OTYSON’S GARAGE
Humorist Could Also
Be Bitter at Timet
For real bitterness the following
(from Mark Twain) is hard to match:
“A myriad of men are born; they
labor and sweat and struggle for
bread; they squabble and scold and
tight; they scramble for little mean
advantages over each other. Age
creeps upon them; Infirmities follow;
lhames and humiliations bring down
their prides and their vanities. Those
they love are taken from them, and
the joy of life is turned to aching
grief. The burden of pain, care, mis-
ery, grows heavier year by year._ At
length ambition is deacf; pride fs dead";
canity is dead; longing for release is
Ji their place. It comes at lust—the
Wily unpoisoned gift earth ever hud
(or them—and they vanish from a
ivorld where they were of no conse-
luence; where they achieved nothing;
»vhere they were a mistake and a fail-
ure and a foolishness; where they
Rave left no sign that they have ex-
ited—a world which will lament them
Jor a day and forget them forever.
Then another myriad takes theh place,
>nd copies all they did, and goes along
the same profitless road, and vanishes
is they vanished—to mako room for
mother and another and a million
pore myriads to follow the same arid
>ath through the same desert and ac-
complish what the first myriad, and
ill the myriads that came after it, ao-
tomplished—nothing!"
And they called Mark Twain “Amer-
ica’s greatest humorist” 1—Pathfinder
tfugazine.
