PEACHES AND BLUBBER.

Atu>story of Arthur Stringer mud an

Canadians are very touchy on the
subject of climate, as Rudyard kipling
discovered when he somewhat thought

saterpyoung Canadian poet and author,
neslrst went to oxford, he carried with
MIN letters from Professor Goodwin

Chrfstchurch.
The old oxford don, like one or two
other Englishmen, had very vague
ideas about Canada and somewhat sur

young author was again dining with
the regius professor at Oxford, and
that gentleman produced at the meal
a fruit dish loaded with tremendous
peaches.
"Most extraordinary said the old
professor, but these peaches were

The Canadian very quietly took

professor. The professor gazed at the

More Lines Needed.

The importation of lines into this

crease, which has really come about

ing the now widely popular summer
drink known as the gin rickey.
Upt five years ago the imports of
lines amounted annually to 300 or 400
barrels, and even for such q quantity
there was not always q ready sale.
Lines were sometimes cold as low as
l0c per 100. hardly enough TO pay for
freight and handling. Aside from
their limited use as q fruit they were
employed as . gsrnish for other fruits,
in displays. The lime juice sold
In this country came from London.
Now the imports of lines into the
United States amount an nually to about
1000 barrels, the bulk of which comes
to this port. They are distributed from
here North and South, and West as far
as the Mississippi River.
The chief source of supply of the
lines sold in the United States is
Sauto Domingo. These lines are sold
here uuder the trade name of Domi-
uics lime. Some cultivated lines
are also imported from the Island of
Trinidad. Lines, mostly wild. grow

The Eminent Kidney
and Bladder Specialist.

There is a disease prevailing in this
country most dangerous because so decep-
tive. Many sudden deaths are caused by
it-heart disease, pneumonia, heart failure
or apoplexy are often the result of kidney
disease. If kidney trouble is allowed to adj
vance the kidney-poisoned blood will attack
the vital organs, or the kidneys themselves
break down and waste away cell by cell.
Then the richness of the blood-the albumen
leaks out and the sufferer has Bright's
Disease, the worst form of kidney trouble.

At regular meeting of May Camp

adopted:
Whereas, We the members of May
Camp No. 1864, r. N. of A, desire to
express in a fitting manner our pro-
found sorrow at the death of our
neighbor and brother, u.s.. Whitman,
whomG God in his unsearchable wisdom
permitted to be taken away from his
labors, and
Whereas, While we deeply grieve
for the loss of our neighbor and broth
err, we bow in submission to His will,
who giveth and taketh away, well
knowing what to us is an irreparable
loss is to Him infinite gain, therefore
be it
ReSolred, That in his death we have
lost an earnest, faithful member, and
beloved associate, whose character
combining as it did many of the ele-
ments of true manhood, made him
worthy of our sincere regard and
high appreciation.
ResotCed, That this faithful devotion
to duty and above all his Christian
life commended him as an example
worthy of our limitation.
Res0lOed, That our charter be draped
in mourning for sixty days, and these
resolutions be spread upon the records
of this Camp to show our sorrow and
respect and affection of our late CO.
worker, and do extend to his honored
family our sincere and earnest ex-
preston of heartfelt sympathy and
coincidence, and that their sorrow
may find comfort in the glorious hope
of life immortal and solace in the
sweet remembrance of their loved
ones, unselfish, generous, life long
example just ended yet never to be
forgotten.
Why mourn for father and husband
Whom God in His wisdom removed,
From this world, that's DER flowing
with sorrow
To that mansion of rest up above.
Where angels are waiting to welcome
him into the fold;
Into that beautiful city, that beauti-
full home OF the soul.
