one touch of her small, soft, white
hand: who ravaged the state he ruled
to deck her the more richly with the
spOils thereof?
For she is Nine. Balmaceda, wife of
the SpaniSh-American dictator, so lately
dead. Dead, too. by his own hand
gone utterly away from love and laugh

his church, which forbidS suicide even

Doubtless that is the bitterest thing
of all to that widow indeed. If her weeds
had come through the shock of battle
or the stress of dire disease, she might
wear them as an honor, he proud of
them in all mems sight. The dead are
beyond our Judgment. Of them moth

not more than hint of cowardice in thus
escaping the ills we know-those that
grind and crush us-and leaving the
pain of them to others, with an added
weight of woe?
This widowed woman is beautiful,
unless the painter was an arrant cour-
tier. That she. is discreet and womanly
as well, the little that is known of her
sufficiently attests. Who knows but
some day, like other beautiful Latin
American widows, she may make for
herself here i'll New York home of
exile?

LONG ISLAND ITEMS.

From the Leader.
Mrs. Pete Smith, of Prairie View,
died suddenly on Sunday of dropsy.
John Wilkinson returned one dav
last week from a trip overland to
Denver. whittier he had gone in search
of work. He returned without find
ing work; and says all kinds of work
have shut down and there is no place
for working man to apply for wages.
For several years past the subject
of prospecting for coal in this vicinity
has been discussed pro and con; but
as yet nothing leading to an execu-
ton of the work has been done. At
various times gentlemen of expert
ence have expressed their belief that
coal existed in this locality; and many
who live here believe this to be the
case especially in the vicinity directly
south Of town. j. NJ. Figley of this
city, who owns a farm in that neigh
borhood, expresses his belief in the
presence of coal by offering to Join
his nelghbors in the expense of put
ting down a prospecting hole. We
hope to see the project eliminate in a
reality at an early date.

The Industrial South,

The Manufacturers Record of the Gath
mentions a number of industrial enterprises
inaugurated in the South during the past
week employing between 100000 and
$7,0OO0C0 in capital. 1t then states:
''In it's review of the Souths industrial
progress for the past week, the Msnufsc-
turers Record says: In every part of the
South there are indications of renewed
activity and signs of still greater progress
than we have yet seen. Last year was
very prosperous one throughout the whole
South, and business men If ali classes, as
well as farmers. made money, and now
that financial scare has passed away, they
are beginning to seek investments in in
dustrial enterprises, while Northern and
European capitalists are also preparing
for liberal investments in this section.
The outlook for the spring is extremely
favorable and the Manufacturers Record
believes that the South is to have another
year of great activity and prosperity,
despite the work of politicians that seek
to retard the South's advancement. In
whatever direction we lock, whether in
the mineral and mountain regions, in the
Piedmont belt or in the pine and coast
sections, there is seen activity, progress
and prosperity. The South is steadily
pressing forward, developing it's vast re-
sources and daily adding to it's wealth"

A Penny and a Prayer.

"Was that your penny on the table,
Susie?" asked grandma, as the children
came in from Sabbath school. 81 saw it
after you went, and was afraid you had
forgotten It,"
"Oh, no, grandma; mine went into the
box all safely"
"Did you drop anything in with it ?"
asked grandma.
"Why, no. ma'am," said Susie, looking
sur prised, Il hadn't anything to put in
You know | earn my penny every week by
getting up early and going for the milk
Eyes. l remember, dear. Do you know
just what becomes of your pennyf'
"No, ma'am."
"Do you care7"
"Oh, indeed do l want it to do good
somewhere"
well, then, every Sabbath when you
drop your penny in, why don't you drop
prayer in, too, that your penny may be
blessed in its work and do good service for
God? Don't you think if every penny
carried a prayer with it the money the
school sends away would do wonderful
work? Think of the prayers that would
go across the ocean and away off among
the Indians"
81 never thought of that, grandma.
The prayer would do as much good as the
penny, if it was a real, true prayer,
wouldn't it? I'm going to remember and
not let my penny 20 alone again. "-G0lden

The WAYS OF Camels.

If any other animal gives out it Is still
possible to make it travel few miles by q
judicious use of patience and club; but
not so with camel. When he lies down
he will get up only when he feels Ike
doing 80. You may drag at the string
which is fas ened to the stick through his
nostrils till you tear it out; he will only
grosn and spit. 1t was my first experience
with camels, and vowed that it should
be my last ; for taking them together
they are the most tiresome and trouble
some animals | have ever seen, and are
suited only to Asiatics, the most patient
and long suffering of human beings.
Besides their inhrmities of temper, re
sulting, believe, from hereditary dyhpep-
STA, as evidenced by such coated tongues,
offensive bresths and gurgling stomachs
as | have seen with no other ruminants,
they are delicate in the extreme. They
can work only in the winter months, for
as soon as their wool begins to fall, Sam
son like, their strength aoandons them.
They can travel only over a country
where there are no stones, for the pads of
their feet wear out. and then they have to
be patched, most troublesome operation
The camel is thrown and piece of leather
stitched on over the foot, the stitches be-
ing taken through the soft part of it. In
this condition it may travel until the skin
has thickened again, or, what is more
likely, until it refuses to take step

Dear Sir enclose you a clap from a
London paper, and never having heard of
this wonderful farm, | send it to you,
hoping you will tell your patrons where
this farm Is, if in fact it exists anywhere
Truly yours, o. j. CLARK.
"This is a farm in the Southwest of the
State of Louisiana measuring 100 miles
north and south and 25 miles east and
west. The l 800, 900 acres of which it is
made up were purchased seven years ago
from the State of Louisiana and from the
United States government by syndi-
cate Of northern capitalists, by which it is
now farmed At that time it was vast
grazing ground for the cattle of the few
dealers IN tho neigh Dorhood there being
30, 600 head Ct cattle and horses upon it.
This immense tract is now divided into
convenient pasture stations or ranches, the
fencing alone having cost $50 900. The
land is best adapted for rice, sugar, corn
and cotton All the cultivating, ditching,
etc, is done by steam power, tract Of
about half mile wide being taken and
an engine placed on each side The engines
are portable, and work cable attached to
four plows, the area ploughed in this way
with the labor of only three men, being
~ acres. Narrowing, sowing, etc, is done
in the same way, and there is not single
draught horse on the estate. Horees are,
however, used for the herdsmen, who
look after the 16. 600 head of cattle upon
the estate, which is travers.d for 36 miles
by the Southern Pacific Ry. The company
has three steamboats, upon the 300 miles
OF navigable waters which traverse their
estate, and also possesses ship yard, 8
bank, and rice mills"
1t is here, but not exactly as published
in the above clipping, The tract of land
is not square, but measures over 100 miles
east and west, instead of north and south,
and the wides, portion from north to south
is about 80 miles, extending from the
Southern Pacific railroad to the gulf 1t
i3 divided into ranches and the fencing
doubtless cost $50 900, and these ranches
contain at present about 20 600 head of
cattle instead of 16 600

been abandoned for the present and the

The Promised Land.

In treatise on Southwest Louisiana by
M. T. Smedley, we find the following:
An intelligent rice grower says: You
cannot say too much of rice culture" Mr..
Duson, of Crowley, last year received
S., 400 for rice grown on 203 scres, nearly
$4,000 from 400 acres. Mr.. Spencer this
year from 10 acres received net $575; Mr.
Jenkins from acres, 1926.
Near the head of Mammoth prairie a
small German settlement was made nearly
20 years ago. q. Huber, postmaster there,
says: 81 have never had failure in all
these years. Raised rice IL years in success
sion on same land last crop good as any,"
D. Rose and family, having travelled
largely, both in Europe and the United
States, settled near this point in 1878, and
say 1--WE are delighted with country and
climate. Health excellent. No doctor all
these years."
What is true of Southwest Louisiana is
also true of middle Louisiana. More clear
money can be made raising rice and sugar
cane in Louisiana than by any farm
product produced in the United States

Wait a Little While.

Yes, take your time for it is be ter late
than never, and if you will not at once
try the proper remedy to restore your
health wait until your doctor says you
can't live and then try it. Doctors make
mistake quite often and doctor symptoms
instead of diseases. A patient complains
of mysterious aches and pains, sleepless-
ness, gloomy forehodings, nervous disqui-
etude, etc. He is given liniment for his
aches, narcotic for his sleeplessness,
whisky to make him cheerful, and nux
vomica or other poison to quiet his nerves
Verify, the last condition of that man is
worse than the first. How many fail into
the whisky or opium habit and remain
confirmed invalds until death brings re-
lief You don't need such stuff You need
an Alternative. You need remedy that
will assist nature in regaining her equi-
librium. You need remedy that will
assist and strengthen the natural functions
of the body. You need remedy that will
assist the digestion and assimilation of
food you eat, remedy that is easy and
kind to the stomach, kidneys and liver.
Such a remedy is DR.. Bulls Sarsaparilla.
Try it and you will then get well in spite
of doctors anG erroneous treatment.

A Genuine Love Story.

This story was originally told by Spur
geon: A young clergyman and his bride
were invited guests at large party given
by a wealthy parishioner. In all the
freshness and elegance of the bridal ward
robe the young wife shone among the
throng, distinguished by her comeliness,
and vivacity, and rich attire. and when
during the evening her husband drew her
aside and whispered to her that she was
the most beautiful woman in all the COM
pany, and that his heart was bursting with
pride and love for her, she thought herself
the happisest wife in the world. len
years later the same husband and wife
were guests at the same house, where
there gathered similar gay company.
The wife of ten years ago wore the same
dress she had worn on the previous occa-
sion, and, of course, it had been altered
and remade and was old fashioned and
almost shabby. Toll and care and
motherhood and pinched circumstances
had taken the roses out of her cheeks and
the little spring out of her form. She sat
apart from the crowd, careworn aud pre-.
occupied. Her small hands roughened
with coarse toll, were ungloved, for the
minister's salary was painfully small.
little apart the ten-year husband stood
and looked at his wife and as he observed
her faded dress and weary attitude, great
sense of all her Loving faithfulness came
over his heart. Looking up, she caught
his earnest gaze and noticed that his eyes
were filled with tears. She rose and went
to him her questioning eyes mutely asked
for an explanation of his emotion, and
when he tenderly took her hand, led her
away from the crowd and told her how he
had been thinking of her as she looked
ten years before, when she was bride,
and how much more precious she was to
him now, and how much more beautiful,
for all her shabby dress and roughened
hands, and how he appreciated all her
sacrifice and patient toll for him and
their children. q great wave of happiness
filled her heart, and light shone in her
face so that it gave more than youthful
beauty, and in all the company there was
not so happy couple as this husband and
wife, their hearts and faces aglow from
the flaming up of pure sentiment that
