CHICAGO Times "One year ago it could
hardly be said that the administration had
any party at all behind it, To-day there is
behind it a compact, coherent party force
comprising great majority of brains and
little less than majority OF votes in both
chambers Of the national legislature. This
party embodies the predominant sentiment
of the northern twothirds of the nation"

How on at the touch of deaths cruel hand,
a bright joyous life is chilled I'm It's bloom
How often some face, all radiant with hope
Resigns It's sweet light in the depths Of tomb
The shadows that hover so dense DER us here,
In falling oft darken the days brightest hours,
And the scpulchers gloom firmly holds In its grasp
What earth has late known as her freshest young
flowers.
It's with sorrow we yield thus our loved ones to
DEATH
And weep as each confined form seeks It's low bed
For the tears that drop Der them of fall on the bier
ofa school-mate or friend fondly cherished though
dead
The strong chain Of friendship that bindslfe 10 life
Loses sometimes a link from its golden extent
And strengthess its severed form lies at our feet
While mem'ry recalls the deep loss we lament
As weeping we bow to the stroke that Is given
We remember the loved ones no fell meath the
blow,
And forgetting ali faults we but think ofthc s1ishin,
That frightened their lives and ours here below.
Stricken mothers may weep for lives that have fed
Forthe hands ofaiection that sOOthed them in pain
Fond Jrotaers may feel az they weep DER the dead
Thata sisier's love never wiz greet them again.
The shadows have deepened DER the homes they
once filled
with the light Of their smiles and the ring Of thci
mIrth
Yet their mem'ry dies not for they 1.-Two in tn,
hearts
That reoiced In their lives and their presence OF
earth.
Tho sorrow's deep gloom may rest on the hearts
ofmotheu and brothers, and friends sadly weeping
The bright sun of hope gilds the darkness beyond
The hope that tears will bring joy in the rcaplng
Let us learn that each death but unietters life
From the grasp Of body long tortured with pain
While hope brings to view the bliss Of realm
Where death will ne'er darken our household again

A SONG OF EASTER.


Sing. children, slngl
And the lily censer swing;
Sing that life and Joy are waking
And that Death no more Is king.
Sing the happy, happy tumult
Ofthe slowly Frightening Spring;
Sing, little children, sing
Sing. children, sing
Winter wild has taken wing.
FIJI tho afr with the sweet tidlngs
TIL the frosty echoes rlugl
Along the caves the icieies
No longer glitterlng cling:
And the erocus in the garden
Lins Its bright face to the sun.
And In the meadows softly
The brooks begin to run;
And the golden catkins swing
In the warm airs Of the Spring;
Sing, little children, sing
Sing, children. sing
The lilies white you bring
In the Joyous Easter morning
For hope are blossoming;
Aud as the earth her khroud Of snow
From OF her breast doth ding,
SO may we east our fetters of
In Gods eternal Spring.
So may we find release at last
From sorrow and from pain,
So may we find our childhood's
Calm, delicious dawn again.
Sweet are your eyes, o little ones,
That look with smiling grace,
without a shade Of doubt or fear
Into the Futures facet
Sing, sing In happy chorus,
With Joyful voices tell
That death Is life, and God is good
And all things shall be we'll
That bitter days shall cease
In warmth and light and peace
That Winter yields TO Spring.

What the Delaware Beet Sugar Company
Intend to Do.


The company intends manufacturing
brown sugar from dried beets, using only
such green beets as may be grown contig-
uous to their factory. BY dried beets is
meant that the beets shall 60 through n
process similar to that used in drying
peaches. In drying beets FIVE tons Of the
green vegetables are compressed into one
ton. The green beets contain about 10
per cent of sugar, and at the same ratio
there would be 80 per cent. in ton of
dried beats. Another advantage derived
from the dry beets is that it does not re-
quire evaporation. It is the intention of
the company to work so tons of green
beets, or 10 tons of dried beets per day,
which would turn out ) tons of sugar per
"a hours. They will not refine the sugar,
but will sell il to the rcfuers for that pur-
pose. If this experiment is successful it
will doubtless develop the peninsula in
fertility just as it has France and Germany
in those districts in which the beet was
grown The fruit dryers are class of
people who viii be benefited by it, and they
will find material to work upon from
September, about which time fruit drying
ends, till April, space of six months, du-
ring which they now have very little TO do
Most soils suited for corn, potatoes, wheat,
etc, will do for sugar beets, but the best
are light, rich and loamy; those with u
large proportion of clay, if well TILED, pro-
ducing very rich beets Select land which
has been plowed for one or two years, say
in corn or potatoes, and if it has had a
good coat of stable manure during that
time, SO much the better. Plow deep in
the fall or as early in the spring as posi-
Bile. If the soil is shallow, better subsoil
IL, then give it thorough tiling just be-
fore seeding, which will secure the quick
sprouting Of the seed ahead Of the weeds.
The time Of planting may be said to ex-
tend from the middle Of April to the mid
die Of June. This information may be
useful to those intending to engage in the
sugar beet culture.

was Whitfield out of piece of wood, in the
town of West Newbury, Mass. Now that
town boasts of three large factories where

machinery, two at time, and polished.

Who is Remenyi!

The visit of this eminent musician
to the northern coast, gives an inter-
est to any facts that may 5e CLEANED .
from his professional and life histo.
ry. He is Hungarian by birth and
about forty years of age. His artis-
tic career, which he began very early,
was interrupted by the Hungarian
uprising in 1913, in which he, al.
though mere boy, took an active
part. The defeat of the insurgents
made him an exile from his native
land, and in England began the pro-
fessional career which has added so
mony laurels to his fame. His ap.
pearance at the capitals of Europe
successfully, was the signal for un-
bounded enthusiasm, and for several
years he enjoyed the most brilliant
success that had yet crowned the eff
forts of any individual artist. Hav-
ing obtained amnesty, he then re-
turned home, and appears for time
to have retired from public life.
About two years ago he resumed his
artistic life, and after tour of the
continent, in which his reception
was even more enthusiastic than on
the previous tour, he turned his eyes
hitherward.
His first appearance in the United
States was at Steinway Hall, New
York, last November, since which
time he has visited all the leading
cities and his tour has been one un-
interrupted course of successes. The
largest halls have been inadequate to
hold the audiences on a second APP
pearance, and at Cleveland and
other cities, the crowd was so great
as to necessitate suspension of the
sale of tickets. Mr.. Remenyi's style
of execution is peculiarly his own.
When compared with Ole Bull, Pag-
amin, List, William or other emf
nent artists, he differs from each in
the individuality given to his rendi-
tion of the exquisite music of the
old masters, but it is in no wise in
ferior to either, while possessing
flushed, charm and witchery pecu.

popular sentiment will of course be
divided, but musical critics all agree

ton of his triumphs in the East, and
when anybody has once heard the
sweet impassioned strains of his
violin, they can lave it to say th&

greatest of living artists on that

1t is no doubt true that there is
