Smooth the hraids Of her silken hair.
On her queeBiy brow with tender care;
Gather the robes in a final fold

In dreamless peace she will sleep tonight"
Following Is the awful story of two
boys, Louie and Eddie, lost in an Okla
homa cornfeld, as described by the Car
vile Journal: THE majestic stalks pop
pep and cracked In their giant strength,
big ears creaked and groaned on every
side, and frequently the larger ears would
fall by their own weight and come to
the earth whit mighty crash. The noise
was deafening as the cannonading at
Manila, and the danger almost as great.
During all the time they were in this
awful forest OF stalks and ears and man.
moth leaves the boys had but few hours
sleep or rest. Louie boosted Eddie up
until he could reach the lower branches,
or corn leaves, and gain a footing to
climb to a big ear OF corn on which he
reclined a few hours as comfortably as

| partner in another attempt to find sun
! light and safety. This time the boys were
| successful and a few. hours later they
were out of the forest and had found
their team
