Beneath the sod or beneath the sea,
Millions today are sleeping;
Far from care of earth set free
Far from the woe or weeping,
The wild waves wall and the sad earth
groanS,
For those beneath them lying,
And hearts are torn and left to mourn
In the land Of the dead and dying.
Passing away. yes passing away;

Hope and joy and life's sad day
Like the tide in it's outward flowing.

Are the ties that we must sever.
Is there no light beyond the tomb,
No golden CLEAN Of morning,
No ray dispe1ling deaths dark gloom
The sky Of hope adjoining?
Yes, there Is hope for this dark hour,
It Is the old, old story,
OF God and life and wendrous power
And joy and endless glory.
OF life beyond this vale OF tears.
OF joy beyond the sorrow.
OF hope beyond the dreariness
A bright eternal morrow
Where seas of calm eternal roll
No storm nor tempest RACES,
Where sorrow ne'er shall III the soul,

WHEAT PROSPECTS.
Some Complaint OF Hessian Fly,
Damage in Christian.

There has been some complaint
among the farmers of Christian
county concerning the damage done
the wheat crop by the Hessian fly,
but their ravages, it seems, have
not been general. All of the wheat
in some sections of the county has
been more or less damaged, but
that which was sown earliest has
suffered most from the insect. In
some counties of this State and also
in Tennessee many farmers have
plowed up a lot of their wheat and
some of them will resow later in the
season. 1t was thought that the
killing frosts of the past two weeks
would check inroads of the pests,
but they seem to have had very
little effect.
The acreage seeded in Christian
is already large and with seasonal
BILE weather for sowing many more
bushels will yet be put in the
ground. Where the crop is en-
tirely free from insects the growth
is far advanced and taking it as a
whole it never looked more promis-
ing at this season of the year.

Terrific Wind Storms Devastates
Tennessee and Northern

Advices from the territory visited
by the tornado in Northern Missis-
slppi and Central and Western
Tennessee Tuesday show that the
loss of life amounts to fifty-one and
the number injured to over seventy
FIVE. 1t is feared these figures will
be larger when fuller details of the
storm are known.
In West Tennessee and North
Mississippi the death list will prob
ably exceed twenty-five.
In Middle Tennessee the loss of
life is placed at about forty.
Two persons are known to have
perished in Arkansas.
The property damage is enor-
nous, and cannot be intelligently
estimated at present.
Lumber valued at S500,000 was
lost by the sudden rise of VOL
River, on the northern boundary o
Memphis.
The damage at Columbia Is enor
nous. The death list, so far as re
ported, is twenty-five and fifty in
jured and twelve badly hurt.
A negro child was killed in Will

the place nearly demolished.
The storm entered Tennessee

swept across in a northeasterly di
rection. Great damage is reported
from the counties bordering OF

A Cure For Leprosy.

Two dozen specimens of the plant
known in Venezuela as the tau tau
have been sent from Washington to
Hawaii for the purpose of making a
test OF it's alleged power as a cure for
leprosy. The plant will be tested at
the leprosy hospitals there, where
1913 lepers will afford every facility
for q thorough trial. Surgeon, Car
michel, Of the Marine Hospital, has
also sent half dozen bottles of the
liquid preparation to Molakai, and
this will be used for immediate tests
while plants will be set out and Guilt
waited, with the purpose OF providing
unlimited fresh matter for further use.
Wonderful stories are current in Ven
ezuela about the marvellous curative
properties of tua tua when applied to
leprosy, and the Government ply
sicians attach considerable importance
to the evidence given them. It is
proposed also to test it in the island
of Guam, that tiny speck of Pacific
land that came to us with our other
Spanish war acquisitions.
