Mrs. +. D. Barney, of the North
Branch country, received word, on
last Wednesday, of the serious ILL
ness OF her brother who resides at
Geneva Lake, Wisconsin. On Thurs
day she decided to go to his bedside
but when she got to Adair she in
tercepted a letter which stated that
he had died, Wednesday at 10 o'clock
and would be buried before she
could arrive, so Mrs. Barney return
ed home. On Saturday she received
a beautiful wreath of flowers that
had been placed on the casket of the
deceased brother by loving hands,
and it gave touching and silent tes-
timony of the severed cords of affec-
the beautiful life beyond.-Guthrian

from the Philippines to the Lac Qui
Parle County Vidette. The following
are two extracts;
"The Filipinos are a smart people,
however, and have been much sur
prised by their apparent capacity for
self government. They are determined
to have their independence and if the
administration forces war upon them it
will be foul blot on our history"
II am glad these Filipinos are max
ing such determined stand for theil
independence. 1t will help the cause o
those who oppose the devilish designs
OF the imperialists. 1t is my SINGER.

When He Who Adores Thee


When he who adores thee has left but
the name
OF his faults and his sorrows behind,
Oh! say, wilt thou weep, when they
darken the fame
OF life that foy thee was resigned?
Yes, weep, and however my foes may
condemn,
Thy tears shall effaee their decree;
For heaven can witness, though guilty
to them,
have been but too faithful to thee.
With thee were the dreams of my earli-
est loye;
Every thought Of my reason was
thine;
In my last humble prayer to the spirit
above,
Thy maine shall be mingled with mine.
Oh! blest are the lovers and friends who
shall live
The days OF thy glory to see;
But the iieS:t dearest blessing that heav-
en- can give,
Is the pride of thus dying for thee.

Duluth.

On heights sublime upon the shore
OF broad inland sea,
The Zenith City sits, enthroned
In queenly majesty,
Like Rome upon her seven hills
A nations pride is she.
Only few brief years have flown,
Since the first pioneer
With swinging axe, the pine tree felled
And built his cabin here.
And eagle -nlumed, the Red man skim
med
The wave and chased the deer.
The dark-eyed maiden fingered here,
Beside the tinkling rill.
Oft times the wigwam's smoke did curl
Just over yon'e green hill.
Oft times the Indian bent his bow,
Here in the evening still.
Adown St. Louis broad expanse,
Where wood-grown islands rise;
Where still and white on the blue tide,
The fishers saldoat lies,
The pleasure seeker drinks the charm
OF gorgeous sunset skies.
'Tis sweet at morn in summer time,
Upon the heights to stray;
To see the sun leap up and fling
A glittering trembling ray;
A sl1immering path of liquid gold
Far, far across the bay.
IT'S sweet to wander on the shore,
When waves are breaking high;
To see the steamers plow the surge;
To see the white caps fly,
/ And clouds OF rose and violet roll
Across an amber sky.
The western world pulsates anew,
Duluth mighty mast.
A worlds emporium to be
Is now its throbbing heart.
With nature here so prodigal :
e Doth vie triumphant art.
The billowy seas Of golden grain,
From out the west do pour
Their riches here, and in the north
Vast beds Of iron ore
Their treasures yield, untold as yet
TIE richness OF their store.

Happy visions bring to my view;
Where I can see that happy place,

That's where my Blzokthorn grew.
ssOn its beautiful head CD gold,

With the harp OF Briaa Boru;
Where the notices on his: banner

That's where my Blackthorn grew.

If the home love were free,
The home OF the brave and the true;
Where our sorrows We could. drown,
BY pulling the tyrant down;

when thirty-seven Italian laborers who
had been coached by a Westcfester

Justice Dickey OF the supreme court for
naturalization. The Italians had been
told that all that was necessary for them
to do was to give their names and ages,
and to answer yes to every question that
might be put to them. Mr.. Elsman lis
tened to the examination. The first

smiled blandly at him.

American game birds. An old rice planter

is similar TO the female Of the req wing or

They travel in droves CT millions, always
in the advance Of frosts and winter. They
arrive in South Carolina in the spring
when the rice is just coming up and young
sprouts are full OF milk and in the au-
tumn, when the harvest is ready. they re-
turn. Their itinerary extends from zone to
zone. The winter finds them iii South Amer
lea. AS the warm belt begins to extend
noTthward the rice birds begin their pill
grimage in its wake. There is method IN
their madness and there is regular date
on which they arrive at certain points

to New England Canada, and BritishAmer-
lea, where they nest.

birds pack up for a long trip TO their
