Reid, writing from Arizona, replied that

that these spellings are not in general

mtted to be a reform it is not the
business of body organized like the
board of regents, to upset the spelling
books of the state by leading in such a
reform, but only to conform to it when
1t has been generally accepted. We, at

While visiting in Santa Cruz Mrs.
Everson read of the miraculous cures at

Mrs. Eyerson took but three of the

the procession, there came to her an in

her whole body, to the very tinger-tipS,

She was cured of the disease that was

There is hardly u farm, that has a good

county that has not good flowing well

for stock and house use without the ne

of them flow water enough for irrigat-
ing purposes, some few farmers using
the water last year to 1rrigate small
patches of ground for the purpose of ex-
perimenting to see what could be done,
and in most instances it proved very sat

ed to garden truck. The artesian wells
of this county vary in depth, some of
them giving good flow at depth of

25O feet. The average amount of flow
is about 25OO barrels per day, some of
them flowing about 1000 barrels per day

HIS WIFE WAS DEAD
And William Davidson Sang the Song of
COurtship DAYS,

Courtship Days.
The storm had passed on its way be-
tween Thomas and lakewood and the air
had cleared, says the Detroit News. The
moon was shining and it's rays revealed
near the ruins of William Davidson's
house the mangled body of his wife.
Beside the corpse sat the husband.
Though his face was pallid and marked
with lines which only years of suffering
should have placed on it, there passed
over it now and then faint smile. No
moan of sorrow escaped from his lips,
but instead he sang. No doubt it was
the song he had sung to her during the
days of their courtship:
Roll on, silver moon,
Guide the traveller on his way 2
While the nightingale's song In tune
l shall never, never more
With my true love stray
Meath the silvery light of the moon.
He was found there by John H. Butts,
a representative of the Philadelphia
Times, who owns farm in Oakland
county. Others also halted as they
heard the song, but they FASTENED away
lest the emotion it awoke should dis
turb the singer. -.->s
