Carl Morton's Orchard.

Inc deatn OF Carl. MOrtOn, winch has
caused so much sympathy to go out
from tho people of Nebraska to his be.
reaved father, recalls the beautiful in
cident recently recorded by j. Sterling
Morton in the Conservative. 1t was
entitled ellis Orchard :"
1t was a bright, balmy morning in
April, more than a quarter of a century
ago. The sun was nursing the young
grass into verdure and the prairie was
just beginning to put off its winter coat
Of somber colorings. Tranquil skies
and morning mists were redolent at
Arbor Lodge of the coming resurrection
of the foliage and flowers that died the
autumn before. All about the cottage
home there was hope and peace; and
everywhere the signs of woman's
watohful love and tidy care, when sud-
denly, toned with affectionate solicitude,
rang out:
carl, Carl !" but no answer came.
Down stairs, up stairs, at the barn,
even in the well, everywhere, the
mothers voice called a~nxiously again
and again. But the silence, menacing
and frightening vas unbroken by an
answer from the lost boy. At last,
however, he was found behind a smoke
house, .busily digging in the ground
with a small spade, though only five
years of age, and he said "I'm too
busy to talk. I'm planting an orchard"
and sure enough he had set out a tiny
Seeding apple tree, Il small cottonwood
and a little elm.
The delighted mother clasped him in
her arms, kissed him and said: "This
orchard must not be destroyed
And so now
II hear the muffled tramp of years
Come stealing up the slopes of Time;
They bear a train of smiles and tears
Of burning hopes and dreams SUBJ
lime"
The child's orchard is more than
thirty years of age. The cottonwood is
a giant now and its vibrant foliage talks
summer after summer, in the evening
breeze with human like voice, and tells
its life story to the graceful, swaying
elm nearby, while the gnarled and
scrubby little appletree, shaped, as to
it's head, like a respondent toadstool.
stands in dual shade and bears small
sweet apples, year after year, in all
humility. But that orchard must not
be destroyed. 1t was established by
the youngest tree planter who ever
planted in this tree planters state and
for his sake and memory of the sweet
soul who nursed and loved him, it lives
and grows, one cottonwood, one apple
tree, one elm.
"But Oh, for the touch of a vanished
hand,
And the sound of a voice that is still"
The memories that live and bloom in
trees, that whisper of the loved and lost
in summer leaves are as imperishable as
the seasons of the year-immortal as the
love of a mother.

August Flower.

sit is a surprising fact says Prof.
Houton, "that in my travels in all parts
of the world, for the last ten years, I
have met more people having used
Green's August Flower than any other
remedy, for dyspepsia, deranged liver
and stomach, and for constipation. I
find for tourists and statesmen, or for
persons filling Office positions, where
headaches and general bad feelings from

Bank clearings were considerably af-
