Who gave 10 me2 There are such forms that

Within the soul. like sea- songs In the shell,
That words. however sweet,

The music Of her feet
And there are shrines so wreathed and bios

With love-buds, whore we revel In loves loro
And loves insanity,
That cen to breathe the dear name we adore
We're mad profanity.
Who worships not some idol? Who can say
That In his heart no image holdeth sway?
No passion thrills his veins2
In mine Gods queenliest ara divinest clay
In isJlation reigns
She sang to me; sang in the starry hours
With voice more sweet than silver bells and
flowers
Sang as they must above;
Sang with a rippling hint OF April showers
That quicken earth TO love.
She gave IL me. 1t rocked in rosy rest
Upon the gentle billowings Of her breast,
Like some too happy bird
Asleep within it's softly swaying nest
Which summer winds have stirred.
And as we parted, and the red star strewed
With golden dust the dewy solitude,
heard her quantity say.
As II brooding dove had cooed

Upon her as she murmured 1T Is thine."

How TO Sell.

It is estimated that about one-half
of those who sell farm products get an
average of 10 per cent. less for their
goods than they otherwise would owing
to inattention in selling. The Nation
al StOckmdn, discussing this subject,
says great many people sell their
grain and their live stock and their hay
and their wool for little less than
they could if the matter of selling were
more thoroughly studied; but the
greater losses come in the handling Of
what are usually considered the lesser
farm products. The time of selling is
a most important consideration, and in
the products enumerated is perhaps as
great as any other; but in these the
matter of putting up, shipping and
placing in the hands of the consumer
is of no less consequence, while in the
lesser products these may be said to be
almost everything. In butter and eggs
and poultry and fruit and vegetables,
nearly all of which must be sold when
ready, proper observance of all these
things means q difference of from one
third to one-half in the prices obtained
Here are some questions which the far
mer should answer: ]. In what form
will my product best please the con-
sumer? 2. How can get it to him in
the freshest and best condition? B.
How can i lessen tho expense of trans
portation between us? A. How can /
most directly reach him without the in
tervention of too many others to share
my profits? <. How can best become
known myself as a prompt and careful
shipper of choice article of my own
production? 6. What does my market
most need that / can furnish it, and

A HOosier Mix.

During the services at prayer-meet-
ing in an Indiana hamlet, lightning
struck and burned the barn of a farmer
in attendance. He felt sore over the
fact, and asked the minister how it was
that he should be punished for serving
God.
"Brother Jones" was the reply, IL
can't exactly make it out myself. You
were there, and | saw you and the Lord
saw you, and it must be that thunder
bolt went wrong by somo mistake.
Your barn and that of old ST Jones
look so mu h alike that the Lord got
mixed and let flicker at the wrong insti-
tuition. "-IYaH Street NelCs.

Runaway Convicts.

From tho Detroit Free Press.
A group Of officers were sitting in the
turkeys Office in the County Jail several
days ago discussing the escape Of convicts
from Jackson Prison.
II will bet," said one, "that the majority
OF those who get away do not leave town
until they see the coast clear for them"
"How is that2" asked another.
"You see, there are. q number Of ex-
convicts living in Jackson. They are
ready TO lend a helping hand to those
who have the good fortune to make their
way outside Of the walls, and provide hid
ing places for them. The prison officials
may telegraph all over the State Offer
ing rewards for the flown birds, and they
but little dream that the missing ones are
within five minutes reach. An ex-convict
told me that when escapes are contemplated
the friends of the prisoners outside are
posted ns to the probable time, and are on
hand to assist them. A change of clothing
is provided, and the prisoners are taken 10
q place where they are sure OF being un-
molested. Much is going ON Ia prison
which the officials have not the slightest
idea Of. Messages are smug9led out in an
ingenious manner, and the boys inside are
kept posted Of the happenings in the outer
world. The officials can learn a good deal
by keeping a little sharper lookout. A
shaking up is needed somewhere"
