They furnished the minify, and the Kansas City and Southern railroad was built. Stilwell's dream came true. To he sure, the author and Iniilder of the road in the out come was cheated out of his hard - f al lied share, hut the road is there lining husinss as the direct realization of Stil well's dream. And again the financiers pro nounced his dream a baseless fabric, impractical and absurd. They would not put a dollar in the enterprise. Hut Stihvell went about to make his other dream come true. This was the dream: He would build a railroad from Kansas City through Mex ico to the gulf. It was the old dream from a new viewpoint. Stilwell's dream was again the benign one of connecting the great granaries of the west with tidewater, thereby saving the farnif is the long haul trans portation. He dared to cut the parallels of latitude. He was like the czar of Rus sia who laid down his rule be tween two great cities and, de spite the remonstrances of en ! giiieers, said, "Huild it on that line." Somehow Stihvell is getting ; the money, and the Kansas City and ( h ient railroad is largely built. Oftentimes your dreamer is Ithe utilitarian. His vision makes thing count to pass. 1 There must he the dream. Columbus dreamed of the world ami found it. Napoleon i dreamed of an empire and won ! it.

IF YOU BUT CARED- If you hut cared the world would smile again, The clouds that throng life's lowering sky would drift away, The heart would lose its restlessness and pain, And sorrows might turn to celestial day. The heart would beat with rapture wild and new, Though sick with hope so many years deferred; Life's sky would wear its fairest, brightest hue, Forgetful of what yesterday occurred. If you but cared the veil of blinding tears Would fall no more in secret o'er the eyes, But smiles would wreathe the lips through all the years. And they would breathe no vain and longing sighs. The praise and scorn of men would pass unheeded, The bitterest sneer would cause no pang of pain, VlTiat else besides thy love would then be needed ? For life would be a happy dream again. Life's day is swi'tly passing to its close, Soon will time ruthlessly seize youth's bloom, As gelid winds destroy the tender rose, Fach transient moment drives us near the tomb. If you but cared. Ah ! they are idle words; Still to the faintest hope I fondly cling, Though sorrow's billows ever wildly surge, My thoughts their way to you forever wing. WHO IS TO BLAME ? "I Never Had a Chance.

Children Cry FOR FLEICHER'S C ASTORI A KEEP YOUR ORIT. Do you remember that adver- tisement in which the baby is reaching for a bar soap which floats J in the water and the legend : I "He will not be happy until he: gets it ?" ! There is a true touch of human ! nature in the picture. Baby, youth, : man, woman we all reach lor 1 something that we fancy will make us happy. might draw a companion picture, a picture of the baby when he has got the bar of soap and write under it the words, "He's got it, but is not happy." Which would be another true picture of the nature that is in us all. We get what we want, but are not made happy thereby. "If my business were estab lished 1 would be a happy man," says one. "If 1 owned a good home I should be perfectly content and happy." "If 1 had a big farm like So and So," sighs the small owner. "If I had a million dollars," wails the prosperous business man. And soon. Whereas, none of these would be happy over the possession of the things they so rrdently wish for. Why? Because, in the first place, there is more enjoyment in getting things than in having them. The baby got his joy in getting the soap, not in possession of it. you wish for and get there is always something the mat ter witn it wncn you get it some j fly in the ointment of enjoyment, j And there is always something more that you want to get. 1 You see, the problem of person al happiness cannot be worked out by arithmetic. When you merely add to what you have something more of the same sort outside possession you do not get the an swer. And you slowly cry slowly learn the lesson than if you cannot be happy when you gel a thousand dollars ten thousand will not make you blessed. Happiness is 1101 in what tuu hau-, but in w hat you aie. Happiness is inside you. j WHEN OLD AUE IS A CURSE. "The Liver Pills act So Naturally and Easily." Such a statement, coming from the cashier of a bank, shows what confidence responsible people have in these pills. Mr. A. L. Wilson after trying them wrote: "I hove used Dr. Miles' Nerve und Liver Pills and aluo your Antl-l'uin Pills, on myself, with good ri-sults. The Liver Pills act so naturally and so easily that I fiearecly kmiw that I have taken a pill. Frequently being troubled with headache I take an Anil-Pain 1111 and net Immediate relief In every ease." A. I.. Wilson, Sparta. III. Mr. Wilson was fur a number of year eashler of tin! l''lrat National Panlt of Sparta. Dr. Miles' Nerve and Liver Pills are different from others. Many kinds of liver pills are "impossible" after one trial on account of their harshness. Dr. Miles' Nerve and Liver Pills do not act by sheer force but in an easy, natural way, with out griping or undue irritation. They are not habit forming.
