SO FAR AND YET SO NEAR.

we call 1t a land that is very far off,
Because it is yelled from our sight,
AS though there were oceans that widened
between,
And mountains of infinite height.
We think that the stars and the planets
that roll,
Far worlds through the infinite span,
Are nearer, perchance, than the home of
our dreams,
Unrevealed in its mystical plan.
We are blinded and held by the visions of
time,
We see not the flashing of wings,
We catch not CLEAN of the garments of
white,
Or the clear, crystal CLEAN of the springs.
Yet swifter than thought have the friends
we have loved
Passed on to the mansions of rest;
One moment were clasping our hands, and
the next
AT home in the land of the blest
No wearisome journey mid shadows of
To reach he dear home of the soul.
1t is brooding so near US, if we could but
hear
It's wonderful harmonies roll,
And know that the curtain that wells it
from sight
Is thin as the mist of the sea,
That the sun scatters far when it rises in
light,
Revealing rock, river and tree.
This earth has its brightness of home and
of sun,
Yet daily some vanishing face
Leaves us gazing in sorrow and aching
with loss,
As we sit in our desolate place.
Then let US go onward in quiet content,
Since we know that a moment may bring
Our feet to the gates of the city of God,
The country of Jesus our King.

Advocate.

AN HONEST MANS OPINION.

Vermont, Mo-, april 28th.-If what
Mr.. j. S. Tillery, of this place, says is
true--and none who know him doubt
his honesty-the new remedy, Dodd's
Kidney Pills, is a wonderful medicine
indeed. Mr.. Tillery says:
2 Il had Kidney and Liver Trouble for
years. 1 had used many medicines but
could get nothing to cure me.
Il heard of a new remedy called
Dodd's Kidney Pills and began a treat
ment with the result that 1 was very
soon on the mend.
Il kept on using the pills and am now
entirely better. L honestly do believe
that they are the greatest remedy the
world has ever seen.
Il am always willing tc help good

one that helped me so much.

But before we change the subject
from evening gowns to something else,
I must give a slight description of the
three costumes which are pictured
that, if possible, may give better
idea of the regal splendor which is
theirs.
One of them is of white Dalghali
crepe, its soft, clinging folds finished
off at the trailing hem by trio of lit
tie frills; while then the empire cor
sage is all embroidered in pearls and
crystals and pale pink stones, line of
the softly shimmering pearls, with
here and there bright crystal, edging
the short-frilled drapery of the
sleeves. The dress is charming enough
even in this form, but this is in reality
only the beginning of its loneliness,

During presentation of ''Tosca' a number

the midst of her imprisoned love song to
Mario the people about them first won

became incensed at the foreigners. Final

At Warsaw Tuesday there was held

There are now but few short gaps

FOUND NEW INTOXICANT
Farm Hands in New York Prohibition
District Drink Ensilage Juice.

Persons who enjoy being drunk will
usually find some way to get a supply
of intoxicants. For example: The
farmers about Corning, n. Y. pro-
hibition district, found that their
workmen would occasionally get in
toxicated without apparent access
even to hard cider. The problem,
"Where did they get it," was anx-
iously discussed.
Most of the farmers depend upon
ensilage for winter fodder for their
stock and as most readers know ensil-
age is compost of green vegetables,
corn stalks, vines, tops and the like,
fermented under pressure in pits or
boxes.
1t was finally discovered that the
farm hands had learned the trick If
tapping the sides of the Silos and eX-
tracing the fermented juice of the
contents. That from the stalks of
green corn make vigorous spirit,
which is said to be quite agreeable to
one whose palate is attuned to alcohol,
but its effects are something terrible.
A silo drunk would make one in
duced by crude applejack seem like an
innocent frOlic. 1t StartleS the tenn
perance farmers, says the New York
Times, to learn that "all unbeknOwnSt
to them," they have been running
stills from which those for whose
temporal and spiritual welfare they
consider themselves responsible might
draw beverage which bears to whisky
the relation which whisky bears tC
'sswitchel." Whether the silo will
have to 90 is question now under
discussion.

TERRE HAUTE, Ind, Jan. 90
An attempt on the part of the
Terre Haute Electric company to
run its cars on the city lines af-
ter boycott was declared by the
Central Labor Union resulted
yesterday in several small riots
in the business center. Three
cars were held up last night at
Third street and Wabash avenue
and the non union motormen and
conductors were forced to leave
the cars. The windows of the
cars were broken by strike sym
pathizers and the police were
kept busy in making arrests.
At Seelyville, on the Terre
Haute and Brazil inter-urban
line, eight miles east of here,
large stones were placed on the
track in front of a car in which
was riding General Manager
Clark. When an attempt was
made to run the car into the city
a volley of stones were thrown
and Mr.. Clark narrowly escaped
being struck. A revolver which
was flashed by one of the motor
men had a good effect and the
crowd retreated far enough so
that the car could proceed. A
mob early last evening formed
and marched to the Ninth street
power house for the purpose of
ejectirg the uon-union firemen
employed there, but was repuls-
ed by the police. More trouble
is feared If an attempt IS made to
run cars today.
