A young man stood before his home,

He came to say good-bye; He pressed his hand against his brow

And slowly wiped his eye. His trunk was packed and he must leave

For a city far away. He raised his hat and called farewell,

And then to his old mother he did say:

Chorus — Do not take the doorknob from the door! Leave it there to greet me as of yore.

Often in the snow and sleet

Of my old home I will weep! Do not take the doorknob from the door.

His mother stood before the house

And saw his footsteps go; She sobbed alone in her sad grief

That mothers only know, And through eternity she heard

Her son so blithe and gay, Call as he did on that dread morn,

When unto his old mother he did say:

Chorus —

(With much feeling and expression.) Do not take the doorknob from the door! Leave it there to greet me as of yore. In the Summer's heat and rain It may be that I will came. If you do not take the doorknob from the door.

— Baltimore American.


Said a seal, who immodesty hates, To a polar b'ar, one of her mates, "Your necktie pray wear. For I simply can't bear A bare b'ar, his b'ar-bear-ity grates."

— Leslie's Monthly.

Cleanly woman has an erroneous idea that by scouring the scalp, which removes the dandruff scales, she is curing the dandruff. She may wash her scalp every day, and yet have dandruff her life long, accompanied by falling hair, too. The only way in the world to cure dandruff is to kill the dandruff i?erm. and there is no hair preparation that will do that but Newbro's Herpicide. Her- picidc killing the dandruff germ, leaves the hair free to grow as healthy Nature in- tended. Destroy the cause, you remove the effect. Kill the dandruff germ with Herpi- cide.
