THE INFINITE LITTLE
A little drea ming ard we are
Further than the furthest star;
4 little pleasure and we gain
The fortitude to bear our pain;
A little striving and is ours
The strength of all our latent powers
4 little purpose and will
And we our highest hopes fulfil:
4 little doubt. intrepid ghost,
And we lose all we cherish most
little faith the steadfast smile,
And We the future reconcile:
4 little earnest trustful prayer
For wiIdered creatures everywhere
And that all bad is for the best
The worst, perchance, be WorthleSt:

DUNKARDs SEEK NEW
HOMES IN THE WEST

During the next few days over 5000
Dunkards and others will pass
through Chicago en- route to new
homes in the northwest. Tuesday
500 movers passed through Chicago.
bound for homes already purchased
i'm North Dakota. Those who went
west Tuesday were mostly from
points in Southern Indiana.
Next Tuesday nearly 2.5OO farmers
VIII arrive i'm Chicago ana will pro-
movement will include entire families
and the Nirginias and they will for
the most part go to the Mouse river
district Of North Dakota
This will be probably the largest
movement of homeseekers for several
years. Good crops in the northwest
last year and the glowing reports
sent back by preceding settlers are
the causes that have induced the
present heavy immigration.
When the settlers arrive at their
new homes they will be ready to start
work. They travel in special trains
and take with them their household
effects. farm machinery, live stock
and other goods and chattels neces-
sary To their agricultural life.
The farmers will arrive in Chicago
via different routes. as they come
from various sections of the east.
From Chicago northward they will
also use several lines.
Several special trains win be nee
essary to convey the homeseekers
from Chicago north and from st.
Paul To their locations. At least five
special passenger trains will be used
from Chicago and probably two
special freight trains.
The exodus is the direct result of
the personal efforts of James j. Hill
to settle the lands along and ada
cent to his lines of railway in the
northwest.

Flowers For the Homes:
A Timely Suggestion.

There are many homes in this city
where the opportunity TO display
flowers in the front of the residence
is very,poor. In such cases window
boxes offer n fine opportunity. This
form of floral decoration is very com
mon in large cities, and adds greatly
to the appearance of the dwellings.
Henderson in his work of Gardening
for Pleasure" writing of window gar
dening says:
window gardening during the
summer months is much more sue
cessful in England than with MS, ow-
ing to more temperate climate, and
hence * there almost universally
practiced. In the cities especially.
where space is econoThized by placing
story upon story. and the buildings
are SO close that there is often no
room for even a spear of grass to be
grown. the only garden that is possi-
BILE is one formed i'm a box on the win
dow sill. This is limited in it's eN-
tent. as the space afforded is only
some four or five feet in length, and
from eight to ten inches wide, with Il
depth for the soil of about six inches.
These boxes are made of great vari-
ETY. Of materials. such as wood, terra
Gotta. iron. etc. according TO the
taste or means of the owner. As the
boxes are usually too high up to al
low of close examination. and the
sides soon become draped with
drouping plants, an ordinary box of
pine will answer as well as a more eX-
pensive one. As il is exposed To- the
weather. and the weight of the earth
is considerable. il should be put to-
gether very firmly. Having procured
the box. let tinsmith make lining
or box of zinc that will exactly fit in
side of it, This needs only few
tacks at the upper edge to hold
the zinc to the wood. Usually
spaces are left i'm the bottom
To admit of the water passing freely
through. When this is not done
greater care is required i'm watering.
\ more expensive box is made of
wood. lined with zinc. and rhe eNter-
Tor covered with ornamental tiles,
which are kept in place by proper
at the margins. \ box of
this kind may be covered with floor

oil cloth, and if n proper pattern be
selected, il cannot, at a few yards
off. be told from the much more cost
~ tiles. Many of the streets of Lon.
don and Edinburgh. during the sum
mer months. present pleasing APP
pearance that cannot fail to interest
even those. who have no taste for
flowers. The plants used are mainly
such as we recommend for hanging
baskets, those designated for shady
positions being used ON the shady
sides of the streets. and those for
Towering ON the sunny sides. These
window gardens i'm summer produce
the finest effect when planted with
some drouping plants. For our eli
mate. during the summer months.
when exposed to full sun. strong. Wig
orons growing plants must be select
ed. such as tropaeolums. petunias,
passifloras. etc, while for the same
position the upright plants may be
double and single geraniums. hello
tropes. begonias and the like. For
window boxes on the shady side use
the plants recommended for hanging
baskets in the shade. The simplest
use of window boxes is to SOW them
with annual seeds, such as mignon-
cite, sweet alyssum, phloN drummon-
dii, portulaca. etc. all of which
should have southern exposure.
The soil may he such as is used for
pots. Watering must be given as rec
commended for hanging baskets, only.
in the case of the window box, il
would not be practicable to immerse
it, nor is there the same necessity for
doing so. as the box is less exposed
than the hanging basket, which is
suspended and surrounded by drying
air upon all sides. These remarks re-
fer to window gardening outside of
the windows. or on the outer sill"
The Home Improvement associa-
tiOn. for the purpose of encouraging
window gardening. has arranged to
supply painted window boxes for -
cents each. This is cheaper than
they can be obtained elsewhere. OF
course they will not lie tin or zinc
lined. but they will he suitable boxes,
but to obtain these boxes at this
price the association would like to
receive orders for as many as possi-
BILE. and as soon as possible.

WITHOUT DRUGS.

I wish to say a few words in
favor of Liquozone. Having been
sufferer for the past seven years
from tuberculosis, for which I I'M
derwent three operations, but failed
to be cured, I started to use Liqu-
ozone. 1 have been a patient on
Liquozone but a short while, but
feel fully satisfied that the usage OF
Liquozone will effect the cure the
knife failed to accomplish. My bow
els during the period of my disease
caused me much trouble, compell-
ing the constant use of cathartics.
1 am happy to state that these or
gans have been fully repaired by
the use of Liquozone, and now are
in natures working order.
Any information can give the
suffering individuals or public, re-
lative to the merits of Liquozone,
would afford me great pleasure, as
consider it my life preserver.
