Walked close together in life's working way;
There was no need for it. when hand and eye
Might meet content and faithful eYery day;
Mizpah! cry; the Lord keep watch be-
tween
Thv life and mine, that death hath riven
apart;
Thy life beyond the awful veil unseen,
And my poor broken being, which must glide
Through ways familiar to us both, till death
Shall of a surety, lead me to thy side,
Beyond the chance and change of mortal
breath,
Mizpahl yea, love, in all my bitter PAIN
trust God keepeth watch betwixt us twain
The lips are dumb from which 1 used to hear
Strong words of counsel tender words of
praise;
Poor must go my way without the cheer
And sunshine of thy presence all my days.
But God keeps watch my ways and days up
On all do on all bear for thee.
MY work is left me, though my mate is gone
A solemn trust has Love bequeathed to me.
I take the task thy languid hand laid down
That summer evening for mine own Away.
And may the giver of both cross and crown
Mizpah! the word gives comfort to my pain

place where no man will ever find

Although the length and strength
of the arm of the Great White Gar.
and the perils which await those
who depart from the road, are well
known, it may be that part of the
guard conspired to seize the treasure.
and make off with it across the desert
of Cobb to Chinese ports. If this be
true, and if the faithful part of the
guard was killed, the thieves may
have persisted miserably of hunger
and thirst in trying to cross the
desert. Or some restless band of
Tartars may have wiped the guard
from the face of the earth, and the
treasure may now be turned into
arms and powder for warriors,
bracelets and anklets for hat-nosed
Tartar women.
So relentless is Russian vengeance,
and so vigorous is the terror of it,
that it seems improbable that the
caravan vanished through human
agency. The severity of the weather
suggests that it may have lost the
road during some binding down
pour of snow. Wandering about,
crash of ice and rock from an over
hanging prec1p1ce may have dashed

ONE m fountain gorge so deep and so

There are crevaSses in these noun
| tains, and frozen cover Oftens hides
them. There may have been sound
of splintering ice, the shrieks Of men
helpless in the face of swift and GER
tain death, and then yawning of
the bowels of the earth.
In this disappearance there is
material for the most vigorous imagl-
nation to work upon without limit.
/ 1t is not a small and defenceless party
that is to be accounted for. 1t is a
large caravan, well armed, well &C
uuainted with the road, well prepared
to meet any form of danger.
The road was constantly travelled;
the Tartar tribes to the north and
south see and hear all that goes on.
The place of disappearance was be
tween post-houses but twenty miles
apart, and within easy reach of any
one who might have escaped from
the destroying fate. The more it i:
considered, the more the amazement

FAR AND WIDE.

THE French Congo country is five
times the size of France and is believed
to contain a population of 100000.
The Berlin prisons were never so
crowded as at present, largely owing to
the emperor's recent crusade for better
morals.
THE members Of the Russian legation
in Washington arc said to have covered
back into the imperial treasury their
official salaries, to be used for the relief
of the famine-stricken districts.
SINCE 1855 the course of the River
Volga, Russia, has rapidly been chang
ing until the city of Saratov, once called
the Golden Port of the Volga, is left
three miles away on its banks. Saratov
Is well built city of about $4,000. Its
trade, WHICH was very large, depended
mainly on the river.
In 1916 an awful famine ragged
throughout all Europe, and again from
1893 to 1905, when complete crop fail
ures caused terrible suffering. In Eng
land and France the people ate the flesh
Of dogs and cats, and many cases of
cannibalism were recorded. During
the latter three years thousands upon
thousands persisted from starvation.

Science VS.. Faith.

When Gen. Booth of the Salvation
Army was in Calcutta no building
large enough for his purpose could be
found, and he therefore accepted the
offer made by a circus manager of a
tent in which to hold services. The
army's singing and "volley-firing"
agitated the Gagged lions, however, to
such an extent that these animals be-
gan to roar just as Gen. Booth began
his address. But they were soon
silenced ain response to the exercise of
faith" the War Cry says. Faith is
an excellent thing but you do not have
to exercise even that in taking REDS
GERMAN COUGH AND KIDNEY
CURE. You feel the good effects
with the first dose and few doses
will cure you of the worst cold or the
hardest cough. AS it contains no poi
son it can be taken at any time and il
can be given to the children without
the slightest danger. Get it of any
druggist and if your dealer won'torder
it for you, write to us. The small
bottles are twenty-five cents, the large
ones fifty cents.

ARTICHOKEs FOR STOCK.
Under Many Circumstances the Tubers
Are Quite Valuable.

Are Quite Valuable.
An Iowa farmer raised the Brazilian
and large French artichokes for hogs,
which harvest the tubers themselves
and found the outcome so desirable
that the practice has been continued
annually during many years. Not,
however, till last spring were any of
the roots gathered for other stock. At
that time some were given to a valu.
able stallion apparently out of health.
The result and deductions from it, are
thus set forth in letter to the West.

THE horse ate them readily, and be-
sides an excellent effect as food and
improving his coat and general health,
it was noted that he passed worms
freely. In a short time he was in fine
condition. Although the effect on
swine has many times been similar, 1t
was accepted as an ordinary fact This
experiment would indicate that for
horses, under like circumstances, this
tuber would be quite valuable. The
labor of growing one-fourth acre for
use in the horse barn would be small,
and the ease with which the large vari-
ETY. can be gathered and stored ifreez'
ing is no damage) commend the matter
as well worth fair trial. They may be
left in the ground until frost is out,
and would furnish a soft bite to horses,
broodmares and colts, just when need
ed, and at one-tenth the cost of grow
ing and storing the same weight Of
carrots -

Fighting the Chinch Bugs.

Practical measures against the chinch
bug, available for the coming season,
are limited to the present destruction
of the bugs in their winter quarters to
diminution of their food supply by
intelligent cropping, to the support of
infested crops by the use of fertilizers
and liberal agricultural method in
general, to the destruction of the in
sects in small grain in spring when
they appear very abundantly there in
patches, TO an arrest of their movement
and destruction of them as they pass
from field to field at harvest, and to
measures for a prompt and early dis
semination and rapid increase of their
natural contagious diseases. Bulletin
