AT night beneath the silver stars,
The cleaning stars. the dreaming stars.
She waits beside the pasture bars
Till down the path L pass, O;
And all the whispers of the airs,
The shifting airs, the drifting airs,
Are freighted with the angels prayers
To guard my little lass, O.
Her eyes are like a summer sea,
A heaVing sea, a grieving sea,
And, all, their light is all for me,
And all for me her love- O;
AS waiting there amid the gloom,
The darkening gloom, the hearkening
gloom,
She breathes the evenings faint perfume
That broods the fields above, O.
oh. M2rgery, my little love,
My nearest love, my dearest love,
Soft-eyed and gentle as dove.
Across the fields she trips, O;
And, all, the all-enthralling charm,
The captured charm, the raptured charm
To feel her iland upon my arm
And touch her dewy lips, O.
beside the bars with shining eyes,
With youthful eyes, with truthful eyes,
The listening vastness of the skies
Bends low to see us meet, o;
Till up the lane she goes from me,
She starts from me, she parts fromme
And all the grasses bow to see
And kiss her passing feet, O.

tanning $4,000 each.
Each man took from beneath his vest
a canvas bag and filled it with as many
sacks of coin as he could carry, and the
81 men, well laden, marched back to the
Fisher Boy and hastily descended to
the captains cabin, where the gold was
deposited. Then the uniforms were

filed with the stiffening breeze, and she
was off, scudding through the water
like a thing of life, dashing the spray

On ladder that hung suspended over
her stern stood a man with a brush
and paint pot. The Fisher Boy had
disappeared from the face OF the ocean
forever, and it was the Nancy Parks

ance of an experienced eye into the
estuary of Smiths island and was made
fast TO the pirates landing.
The gold was transferred to the cav

TO await a general division by Black
Beard among his crew. Then bumper
followed bumper over the success Of
their last great venture, and when
finally the last man had drunk his FIJI

Crop Report For May.
Shows Wheat Condition I'm
proved Since Last Report.
News of the State Departments-Per-
sonaIs and Notes.

A summarized report from CORE
spondents of the Kansas state board of
agriculture in nearly every township
in the state is made public today, Civ
ing conditions of growing crops on May

Unusual and almost uninterrupted
cool weather, with abundant seasonal
BILE rainfall over much of the state has
been excellent for wheat, and its gen
eral condition of SO is an advance of
three points over that at the date of
the last report, April 20. From a very
few localities of least rainfall some old
crop chinch bugs are reported, but not
yet doing much in material damage or
propagation. In Kansas chinch bug
circles the season thus far has been
one of discouragfng depression, while
the wheat has. continued to prosper.
The same weather so congenial to
wheat has held back the corn, and
while the stand and prospect are very
good and cultivation is well in hand,
the growth is not vigorous, nor can it
be until there is a succession of warm
days. The general condition for the
state is given at S4.7, and the reporters
note considerable increased acreage in
nine-tenthS of the counties.
The condition of crops other than
wheat ard corn is given as follows:
Oats-Average condition is II. Some
counties which raise most oats report
the lowest conditions. Cool weather
has interfered with growth. Highest
conditions are IN meade, RfaiC ana

Morris but 81. Throughout the state
conditions differ widely, even in coun-
ties adjoining.
Potatoes-The acreage of potatoes is
represented as 10 to Is per cent less

ports indicate an increasing interest in

A thorough building up of the disorder

The nervous system when deranged is
like a clock without balance wheel that
goes too fast and strikes every few min

they quickly run down just as a clock
would do. The regular, unhurried tic-tic-

in d healthy manner. Palpitation and
throbbing point to a dangerous lack OF
nerve force, that sooner or later win lead
to fatal heart failure.
At the first indication of deficient nerve
force, be it heart trouble or nervousness,
Paine's celery compound should be used
to supply the needed vigor, build up the
waning vitality. drive out disease and
guard against future mischief.
