THE ROSE JAR.

remember in my childhood. in squsint, old
fashioned room.
A rose-jar. flushed with crimson, like the
colors Of the dawn:
1t stood upon . little she'll filled to odoreus
brlm,
With roses that had blossomed In the sum-
mers past and gone.
oh, what charm swept DER me- when some-
times sitting there.
Iheld the jar In careful hands, and bresthed
Its fragrant scent;
Ihesrd the bees 90 humming. and felt the
breezes blow,
saw the river flowing where the dropping
willow bent
Sweet friend, you say the roses that bloomsd
for you are dead.
You only have the withered leaves to hold
within your heart;
Tho summers warmth mas gone, and the golden
sunshine led.
And the SHOWS Of cruel winter. their blasting
chill impsrt
I only know that now and then, your heart hss
stood ajsr.
And thoughts like perfume sweet and rare
across your soul have swept;
Dear thoughts, like summer blossoms swirl
thoughts, like eager birds,
Shy thoughts. like blue-eyed violets, where
summer showers have wept
Then keep the withered rose-leaves, preserve
them In your heart,
Their perfume blesses other lives with
thoughts Of summer hours;
And friend. dear friend though winter snow
lies white and chill to-day,
Yet, after winter comes the May, and spring
time brings the flowers.

Damage Done In the North
west-southwsst Kansas slightly Hurt.
CHICAGO, May 10. - Reports from
many points in the northwest are to
the effect that considerable damage
was done TO small fruits and vegetable
crops in many sections by Saturday
nights frost Corn In some places has
been badly injured, but may yet be re.
planted. Other grains are said not to
have suffered much. Kansas escaped
the ravages Of frost Saturday night,
except in the southern part of the state
and the lowlands generally along the
Arkansas, Walnut and Kansas rivers
and tributaries.
Yesterday, the Chicago, Rock Island
& Pacific Railway Co. received reports
from more than hundred agents at
stations along It's lines in central,
western and northwestern Kansas,
which show that Saturday nights frost
was severe on vegetables and garden
plants; that the fruit was not materi-
ally damaged, and that the wheat and
other small grain generally escaped,
and was not injured except in a few
localities
