The Quality of Flour Counts.

A noticeable gain in the health and
strength of the family, young and old alike,
will result from proper consideration given
the important subject of choosing flour.
Bread is the great staple at every meal, and
if the "statf of life" loses its strength and
vitality those who lean on it are in danger.
1t pays therefore in selecting flour to make
certain that none of second or third class is
permitted to enter the home.
There are some brands that are so fully
endorsed and so thoroughly established that
they may be safely used, without uncertain
ty as to their purity and nourishing quail
ties Among a the u. t pnmbe t1; the ne vR1b Boy
Coombs at Coldwater, Mich, has an en-
viable record. The maker stakes his reputa-
ton on the excellence of "Rob Roy flour
and upon the statement that it is of uniform
quality from top to bottom in every barrel
This good result, Mr. Coombs explains, is
due to the use of the very best methods Of
milling and the careful selection of the
choicest winter wheat.

FURLING THE FOREROYAL.

just seven BELLS and the fog all round,
With fine rain falling chilly and soft;
just seven bells, and no other sound
But the creaking spars, as l climbed aloft
AS I climbed aloft at our mates command,
Way up aloft mid the stress and strain,
While each rope 1 grasped to the touch OF
my hand
Seemed newly tarred with fog and rain.
Half-past three by the sound Of the bells
Daylight near; and strong ebb tide.
With the sea running pastus in easy swells,
Black and silent on either side.
Step by step, up the ratings l went,
On through the fog that seemed by its
Like heavy blanket, to where I was sent
By the order that came from the lips of
the mate.
Up at last, and hauling away,
Furling the sail from the fore-royal arm;
just half an hour to the break of day;
The tide at an ebb, and almost calm.
One look forward, and straight in our track
Only seen from that dizzy height,
With hardly time enough left to tack,
A great, black headland with never a
light.
"Land ahead /" called with shout,
Land ahead" to the deck below

Out in a fog bank we went down

Out in a fog bank we went down
-Four and twenty men full told,
Fishermen all, from Provlncetown
None of EN- more than thirty years old,
We'd cleared the banks and We're homeward
bound,
With such a load as you never saw
Cod and mackerel fine and sound,
Twelve hundred weight without flaw.
The wind was west and the sky was clear
When We set our sails that night for home
Nobody had a thought of fear
An hour before the end had come
Jim was whistlin-a way he had
theatre tune he had heard somewhe
L can hear it now and see the lad
With his handsome shoulders broad and
square.
He stood at the helm and he knew his place
Nobody knew it better than he.
One minute the moon lit up his face,
The next, l swear, | couldn't see
Half foot before me there
just as sudden as that it fell,
mat White log bank-a devils snare,
1t seemed to me, from the pit of hell!
Four and twenty men full told,
And never one of them saved but me.
None of 'em more than thirty years old,
AS likely lads as ever you see.
Fisherman's luck, perhaps you say.
The parson said pretty nigh the same
When he tried TO comfort the folks that day
Though he fixed it up by another name
Well, it's tive-and-t thirty years tonight
Since we parted company, Jim and me
Since saw him there in that March moon
light,
His hand to the helm, his face to the sea.
ElVp-anG-thlrtV
He's young man still, s'pose, while I,
My hair is white, and my eyes are dim;
But, mate, I've a notion, when l die,
He'll be at the helm, and steer me through
The shoaling tide to my journeys end
For Jim and NEWELL, l never knew
Such fellow as Jim to stick to friend.
And I've had thought never told
In all these years befOre-that Jim
Would never have lost his grip and hold,
AS somehow l lost my grip on him.
We went down into the fog together; ."
He was hurt from the first, but l had him
fast
In clutch like death, l thought; but
whether
My strength or courage failed at the last
[ never could tell, but only know
That all at once | found my hand
Loose and empty-God, what blow
Then l drifted alone to an empty land.
But haven't much time now here to spend
My hearings dull and my eyes are dim
What's that you ask afraid of the end q
Afraid? Why, the end is-Jim!

A Kind Brother.

While seated in the evening twilight |
am thinking Of a kind hearted brother
who is peacefully sleeping in the West
beneath Kansas sun. | often think of
his kindly acts to his motherless sistersi in
their childhood. He was the fifth SON
There were seven sons and four daugh-
ters. The parents passed away long
years ago, and their children have all
joined them but two sons and two daugh-
ters.
The fifth son left his early home when
quite young and learned the carpenter $
trade in eastern Maine. After working at
his trade few years he engaged in mer-
camille business. About that time he was
united in marriage to the choice of his
youth. His companion was one of the
excellent of earth.
man of intelligence. As the years went
by two sons were joyfully welcomed in
their home. They were beautiful buds
of promise. AS they began to Irvine
around their parents hearts the angel of
death came and the youngest was trans
| planted to bloom in fairer cline.
| AS the years came and went the surviv-
ing one was promising youth. At the
age of twenty he responded to his coun-
try's call, and enlisted in the Goth Maine
regiment. | think he was in the army
two years or more.
| Awhile after the war ended he and his
parents left their native State and settled
in Morris county, Kansas. There they
prospered wonderfully. The son had a
large farm where all kinds Of grain are
raised annually. He also deals in stock
to quite a large amount. They have all
kinds of fruit trees and flowers, and a
beautiful home with everything to make
life pleasant.
The sons ''chosen one' was a school
teacher from the State of Illinois. They
have an only child, a little daughter of
thirteen summers, who is the light of
their home. She has quite talent for
driving horses and often takes her grand
mother out to ride. She also has a little
| Shetland pony to manage.
Her grandfather was interested in gar
dening before his health failed, He rails
ed all kinds of vegetables. At the county
fairs his name was always on the pre-
MUM lists for his different kinds Of fruit
and vegetables. He was a citizen of Kan
sas 26 years and an active man as long as
his health would permit. He always
voted with the Republican party In the
autumn of '95, although very feeble, he
went to the polls and carried his last vote
He failed gradually until two or three
weeks before his death, then he sank rap
idly. His faithful wife nursed him with
loving care; her hand clasped his until
the last throb was over. He has beau
tiful resting place in Greenwood cemetery
at Council Grove, Kansas. Flowers bloom
on his grave every season. On the family
monument can be seen the name of Ed
mund Chase, born Dec S, 1916, died Jan
-, 1895. His widow still survives him
and has home with her beloved son and
estimable wife. Little Carrie is happy in
| having grandmother, who eau tell her
stories of the ''long ago."

No home of pleasure or dear household days,
But a bleak tower whose single beauty lies
In the bright flame piercing the murky
skies
And lighting far off seamen on their ways,
Shaken by rain or storm that madly plays
About the rough hewn stones; where
breakers rise and toss
Their foaming crests as horse that HES
To the far goal, or shaggy hound that bays
At castle gate and would an entrance win.
There are few such brave, beieagured souls
Who bear beacon light, and hear the din
OF great strife below, and the winds oft
Would ruthless beat them down, but the
wave rolls
And notwithstanding their steadfast flame
aloft.
