Boys That Run the Furrow.
You can write it down as gospel,
With the flags of peace unfurled,
Tee boys that run the furrow
Ars the boys that rule the world!
It was written on the hilltops,
In the fields where blossoms blend;
Prosperity is ending
Where the furrow has an endl
lory of the battle,
Of clashing swords blood-red,
Is nothing to warfare
Of the battle-hosts of Bread!
The g
the
banners of the fields
O'er the broad land unfurled
The boys that run the furrow
Are the boys that rule the world!

A Tube of
Antitoxin
BY ALBERT W, TOLMAN,
(SUPE PEREPUPEPEPEPRPNPEIEIN
One foggy September evening Ezra
Morton's six-year-old Bennle was sick.
Young Stitham, who for two years
had been the doctor for Atlantic Cove,
looked serious, as he drew the fisher-
man into the kitchen out of Mrs.
Morton's hearing. Of what he whis-
pered, but two words matter—"“diph-
theria” and “antitoxin.”
To the townsman the obtaining of
medicine means merely slipping out
to the corner drug-store. But what
if you dwell in the only house on
an Island miles out at sea?
Besides, apothecary never
