The Western Barber from Topeka, Kansas • 14

14 THE WESTERN BARBER. NO CLASSES. No classes here Why, is idle talk! The village beau sneers at the country boor: The importuning mendicants who walk Our city streets despise the parish poor. The daily toiler at some noisy loom Holds back her garments from the kitchen maid; 1 Meanwhile the latter leans upon her broom Unconscious of the bow the laundress made. The grocers daughter eyes the farmers lass With haughty glances, while the lawyers wife Would pay no votes to the trading class If policy were not the creed in life.

The merchants son nods coldly at the clerk, The proud possessor of a pedigree Ignores the youth whose father rose from work; The title-seeking maiden scorns all three. The aristocrat of blood look down Upon the nouveaux riches, and in disdain The lovers of intellectual frown On both, and worship at the shrine of brain. No classes here, the clergyman, has said We are one family. Yet see his rage And horror when his favorite son would wed Some pure and pretty player on the stage. It is the vain and natural human way Of vaunting our weak selves, our pride, our worth.

Not till the long delayed millennial day Shall we behold no classes on Gods earth. Ella Wheeler Wilcox. A young Philadelphia barber has been under a cloud of trouble At my trade," fee says, you have to catch your meals when you can, and in busy hours we must eat quickly, so as to get back to our work. Well, heres just where my trouble began. I ate my meals quickly and did not chew them long enough.

The consequence was I bad a dull feeling at the stomach, felt languid and tired, and had what is generally known as heartburn and those pains around the heart that make you believe you have heart trouble. I had often noticed tle Ripans ads in the Philadelphia Record but never read them through until one day I happened to read one about such troubles as mine, so I determined to try the Tabules. The first bottle relieved me. After die second no more heartburn or pains around my heart. And that dull feeling of my atomach disappeared.

After the third bottle I felt all right again and stopped using diem. About five weeks ago the same trouble returned, same symptoms, except this time my face broke out in small pimples and I thought it high time to get the Tabules. Noticing the ad in the same paper I sent for some Tabules, and must say the five-cent Cartons are much more convenient than the glass bottles. I have used four cartons nd my trouble is gone. I usually take one at noon and one before going to bed.

They keep my bowels regular and in every way make me feel like a different person. One thing I have noticed is that on working steady all day Saturday I usually woke up Sunday morning tired and felt unfit for work. Since using the Tabules I wake up sound and refreshed in fact, I can't say too much for them, and every chance I get to recommend them I do so," A new style pocket containing tin urns tabules in a paper carton (without glass) is now for sole at some Cwur stores for five cents. Tnis low-priced sort is intended for the poor and the economical. One dozen fine cartons (130 tabulee)can be had by moil by sending forty -eight cents to the Uipans ChekicAI Oovtany, No.

I heard a man come in and jaw The maddest man I ever saw; Hed teach us what to write about, Or turn the office inside out. I heard him say hed spoil the face Of every man about the place But he didnt. I knew a chap who had a plan To make himself a wealthy man; Hed haul the money in so fast Hed own a state or two at last.

I heard him say with smile so bland, He soon would drive a four-in-hand, But he didnt. Oh, lively time! Oh, busy day! If these intentions all would stay! What marvelous and unreal thing Would this unique arrangement bring! What lively times if theyd be true, These things that men have said theyd do, And didnt. Ex. At twenty when a man is young, And thinks he knows it all; He likes to wag his active tongue, And exercise his gall. He struts around in noble rage The world is all his own; And laughs to scorn the world of age, And lists to self alone.

He wears a window in his eye, To see his whiskers grow, He thinks the ladies pine and die, Because they love him so. At forty, as you may suppose,.
