yours for our country, Alice Genger.
TIE POWER OF LITTLE THINGS.
Who has not fclt the power of Iitiie things for
good evil? A gentle word .. kind act, air en-
coraging smile, though insignificant ia itself, ins
the power to human heart from the depths
+. of despair; while an unkind word mas be the
means OF crushing IL.
A kind, sym,pail,etic word from the lips Of
friend when arc in trouble, ftlis like sunshine
upon the heart that is bur,leiied with care.
How sweet IL the remembrance OF n knd act.
As we think of it when lie down tu rest at night
or when lsse in ibs morning, il fills the heart
with gadness for kind acts make thn heart 10 re-
Juice and giveIh delight inexpressibie."
The bes.ornIeslt of kind act, although 1t costs
you nothing will Gauss those upon whom you
have beslow ed il to ofier prayers and benedic-
tiDns for your fnture happiness.
Men generally think bow asmile, or afriendly
shake of the hand of sHc little account that they
often pass them by. BIS. IL they would only pause
for moment and consider the good that oiisst
springs from snch little act. BY it enenies ara
often changed into friends, for the heart is easily
overcome by acis Of Kindness.
There arcs great MANY sincere Christmas to-day
who are poor. yet after they gone they leave
behind them q name which Is held ia reverenee
by their acts of kindness.
How many there who have thought will,
anguish Of the uIkiud word they have uttered
against dear departed ffieBd. They world
gladly give all they possess to have the words tax en-
back. But II Is too lAie-
These the thoughts which cause bitter tears
to be shed. Then be kind to the unfortunate,
for we knew not how grcst the temptations may
have been which assaiied them. and there IL not
of us 81 ho bas not at some time or other made
mistakes. In the discharge of snch duties. the
memory will have sweet thoughts 10 live npofi.

HIS FRIENDSHIP LASTS.

How perishiug are friendsh'ps,
All, vain is trust in them;
They're IKE tlae fragile flower of the Spring,
Which, drooping IFS slender stem,
The slightest hreeZe may sever.
False friends are Verse than enemies,
They lure us only To deceive,
They smile and fswn our hearts TO grieve,
Our confidence they win, then spurn;
Alas, lis sad that there should be
So few who will our trust RETURN.
But there is One whose name 10 Truth,
Who is in word and deed freud,
His fnilhfIluess lie ever proves,
His friendship lssts until the end.

Corn for the silo should not be cut until the
ears begin to turn yellow. Corn which is cut
when it is not over half grown aud put into
the silo will not keep cows up to their milk
when fed to them in the Winter. In filling q
silo great care must be used to pack the corn
evenly and solidly. Careless filling oftsn re-
suits in loss, or what is worse, the stock fed
oil the musty corn, and do not give the proft

Seed potatoes should be of average size II
the larger potatoes ara selected for planting
there viii be heavy growth Of vine without
so many potatoes, and the smaller ones are apt
to decrease the size of the tnbers. The sprouts
should not be allowed to grow much before
planting, as MANY of them will break of, and
the eyes will not start as SOON as the ones not
so far advanced.
The cultivation should begin as soon as they
come up and continue until they bloom. Po-
tatoes can never be hurt by too much eultiga-
ton. To prevent blight, or If it has already
started, hill the potatoes well up.

THRUN HAS CONFESSED.

The Insurance Swindler Gives His
Version of the Noted Case.
CHICAGO, March 20.-W. J. Thrun
has made written confession of the
details of the now celebrated insurance
swindle of Romeo, Wis. It is in pos
session of the detectives in charge of
the case and duplicates the general
assistant special claim agent Of the
Wisconsin Central as chief conspirator.
Hansen was arrested by William Beck,
special agent of the New York Mutual
Life Insurance company, at the Wis
consin Central Office in this city. He
was Immediately turned over to the
sheriff of Romeo, who left for his home
last night. Thrun declares that Hansen
planned the swindle and
Furnished the Money
for carrying it out. Hansen had been
suspected by the detectives who have
been working on the case before Thrun's
confession was secured. The detectives
in the case think that Hansen has been
in communication with Mrs. Thrun
ever since her husbands disappearance,
and if what Thrun says in his confess
sion be true, has directed her move
ments in getting insurance. His con-
nection with the Wisconsin Central
gave him plenty of opportunity of Wis
iting Romeo without attracting atten-
ton, and he therefore does not have to
use the mails. The detectives say that
Hansen acted uneasy when Thrun was
arrested and did away with all the pa
pers he may have had bearing on the
case

APPOINTED SENATORS.

They Will Probably Be Seated Noti
withstanding ConstitutionalS Strain.
WASHINGTON, March 21.-The ap-
pointed senators who have been waiting
for admission will probably, after the
usual long-winded speeches in the SEN
ate, be admitted and sworn in. This
has been practically agreed upon by a
large number Of senators, although they
believe the constitutional limits will be
crowded by their admission. The fact
that Senator Allen of Washington has
been a member of the club gives him a
pull in the matter, and his return is an
earnest plea for admission Of the gov
ernor's appointees. II >::.is .gf |8#s
