The Return OF Brother OF Mrs. Bell
After an Absence of Half "A Century
--A short Skctth or Narrative.
Another page has been turned in the
history of the Hampton family. This
time Salem Hampton, brother Of
Mother Bell, of East Ninth and
Fremont streets, put in an appearance
at her home, after an absence of half a
century. Think Of the JOY and anxiety
occasioned by such meeting, That
which was least expected has become
the most true, and the old, yet cher
ished, couple are brought to enjoy great
happiness in their declining years. AS
it was no unusual thing fifty years ago
for colored people to be cruelty sep
arated by the hand of slavery, it is not
difficult for those acquainted with slave
history to readily understand the
situation. Families were bought, sold
or exchanged at will and brothers,
sisters. fathers or mothers taken from
the parental roof perhaps never to
again meet on earth. To this end may
he accounted the separation of Father
and Mother Bell and Salem Hampton
fifty years ago. Prompted by love and
the Juggling anxiety to learn of each
others Whereabouts correspondence
was effected between other members of
the family, which led to locating Mr.,
Hampton in Taylor, Texas, where he
and his family. consisting of wife,
three boys and two girls. reside. By
economy and industry he has acquired
over 500 acres of land and is progress
sive farmer. The boys assist in farm
ing the land. while the daughters, both
of whom are well educated and
accomplished, are school teachers. This
is indeed good showing.
Father and Mother Bell have nice
home and received Mr.. Hampton with
due civility The right kind Of timber
seems to have been predominant, as the
family have made most excellent
showing. Mr.. Hampton spent very
pleasant visit and is greatly impressed
by peerless Iowa and her people.

A TuRNED.DUWN PAGE.

There's a turned down page as some writer
says, -
IN every human life
A hidden story OF happier days.
Of peace amid the strife
A folded Leaf that the word knows not
A love- dream riidcy crushed:
Tho sight OF II face that is not forgoh
Although the voice be hlished
The lar distant sounds Of harp's soft strings,
An echo ON the air;
The hidden page may be fun Of such things
or things that once we're fair.
There's hidden rage in each life, and mine
A story might unfold;
But the end was sad of the dream divine
1t better rests untold, y

ner, season with pepper and salt, and
place in deep dish lined with thin
slices OF salt pork, ham, or bacon, ac-
cording to taste. Add a pint of veal
gravy. into which has been stirred one
fnely-chopped onion, and fill the dish
with boiled rice, heaping slightly. To
protect from the direct heat of the
oven, cover with paste, which may
be economically made of -four and wa

Tongue: 10 cook a tongue, first
parboil and skin the tongue, trim it

pounded cloves. Spread the seasoned
crumbs over the tongue and cover with
the thinnest possible slices Of bacon.
Roll the tongue with thick part in the

cover it with meat-broth and bake
slowly for three or four hours ION some

added with profit to those houses
which are fitted for the growing of
frame cucumbers or tomatoes. Grow
ers for profit, however, will do well to
go slowly. The great difficulty in
making melons profitable is the usual
ly very light yield, a plant producing
only two or three melons. Unless the
price obtained is very high one such a
yield does not pay. Much depends
also on the season. To mature melons
we need sunshine, and this is often a
scarce article during the earlier part of
the winter. Last year, during October,
November and December, we had plenty
of it.
The melon vines are usually trained
on wires. The melons have to be sup
ported in some way. Prof. Bailey's
way is shown in the accompanying pic
ture.
The gardener at the station in Geneva
supports his melons on little pieces of
thin board, about five by six inches,
which are hung up on the cross wires
by strings. The latter plan is perhaps
slightly preferable.-A Garden

the value to health of the pure liquid

ant to the taste, the refreshing and truly
beneficial properties of aperfect laZ'

dispelling colds, headaches and fevers
and permanently curing constipation;
1t has given satisfaction to millions and
