DELAYED BLESSINGS.
KANSAS

In Gods great storehouse, safe from moth
Lie treasures vast, of greater worth than
gold
To all who ask Alright rich gifts are given.
None empty-handed leave the gates OF
Heaven.
Wider Gods pity is than seas or skies:
He marks cen when hungry sparrow
Faiths humble prayer to Him is incense
sweet:
He answers, sending blessings always meet.
Outlines the thing for which we seek and
pray
Comes not as we perhaps would choose the
way;
We see one step, no more; He sees the
rest,
And sendeth that He knoweth will be best
Sometimes we ask when overborne with
care
For things pertaining to the morrow's
share;
mot yet, my child, wait until by and by;
The gift may be not what we blindly choose,
Not ours, but His thoughts; He all-seeing
views
End from beginning, step by step He leads,
And every moment gives what most it
needs
IN one great garner held back blessings
wait, @
DELAYED, but not refused it is not fate,
IT'S Gods own hand that shapes our ends
In His good time; what He deems best He
sends.

THE EARTH AND THE SUN.

The suns surface is so intensely
bright that an electric light held against
it would look black.
The theory Of meteors oolliding with
the sun, an old and once popular idea
advanced in accounting for the suns
heat, is now rejected.
The only real concordance between
sun spots and terrestrial happenings Is
the fact that magnetic storms are more
nnmerous,and vary in intensity in re
markabie manner with the size and
number ofsun spots.

Mrs Reedss Funeral.

The funeral of Mrs John B. Reed was held at her late residence Friday after noon at one o'clock. The unusually large attendance was evidence of the general esteem in which the deceased was held in this community. Many at tended from all the adjoining towns. Rev O. D. Milliken conducted the ser vices, which consisted of the reading of scriptural selections, followed by prayer and concluded with the singing of the hymn, "It is not death to die," by the Pilgrim Church choir. The prayer abounded in allusions to the beautiful christian character of Mrs Reed and words of sympathy and consolation for the bereaved ones. The pail bearers were Messrs G l.. Parsons, J. W. Peet, s. W. Barnes, G P. Strong, G. s. Full Ter and s. o. Beckley. The floral trib- utes were numerous and beautiful. The burial was in the lower cemetery. A number of the young ladies of the Pill grim Church had lined the grave with white cloth on which they had fastened clematis and other flowers, thus com pletely inirg the grave with flowers.

The Dancing Glass.

Some wrong ideas are prevalent in re- gard to the dancing class which form ed this week Tuesday evening and I want to correct them. During the term which started this week, and closes Thanksgiving time. the latest dances will be taught, including the newest two-steps, waltzes, gavottes, mazurkas, etc. The beginners joining this class will meet earlier and be thoroughly instructed in the plain dances and gradually worked into the new variations. The second term, if started, will begin after the holidays and will be devoted to course of the German, only taking up such new dances as may be accepted by the American Association of Teachers, which may be brought out later in the season.
 The dances taught this first term lending Thanksgiving will be the Norma Polka, Trilby Two-Step, Par isienne Two-Step, Armory Two-Step, Royal Gavotte, Hanover Quadrille, Assembly Gavotte, Avon Waltz, Varsu- vienna, Star Mazurka. This term, it will be seen, will be very entertaining to experienced dancers as the above mentioned dances are new to many of the dancers hereabouts Persons who have an idea that the new dances will be saved until the second term are mistaken as the above ten dances will be taught in the next ten weeks.
 The juvenile class begins Saturday afternoon at 3 o'clock.

 Speaking of appendicitis a medical practitioner of neighboring state in- forms us that he has performed 23 oper- ations for appendicitis, in only two of which the patients died. It seems it is very important to take the cases at an early stage, before it is too late.

Still, both he and his children ride wheels. Over exertion in lifting also causes the trouble.

For tunately the belt slipped off and the machine stopped. Mir Dodge was car ried home and it was at first thought that he was seriously injured, but it was found that no bones were broken and he is now nearly recovered.
