HOLY LAND.
Lexington Hebrew Discusses the
Movement TO Reclaim II.

Jews are nowEinterested in the
Zionist movement, (which has for
its object reclaiming the Holy
Land by purchase.
In many sections Of this country
meetings have been held by them
and contributions raised to aid in
the movement. A well-knownLeX-
ington Hebrew in speaking of the
project said
"This movement to reclaim the
Holy Land has long been agitated
and the present interest manifest
ed will finally result in the pur-
chase, Since the Jewish people
have left that land it has gone to
waste. Its splendor which was in
olden times the cause a visits
from monarchs is now but a matter
of history. The land is still fertile
and when it again becomes the
property Of the Jews it will not be
long before it becomes an import
ant factor in the world. OF course
it is too small to play a great part
in politics but it will be factor in
many ways. Lexington Hebrews
and the Jewish world is deeply in
terested in the movement. Every
day letters written in every Ian
guage are being received by those
in charge.
1t will be a long time before the
migration becomes heavy. Those
who go soon will be those from
countries where oppression exists
such as in Russia.
In this couLtry Jews are too
closely identified with it to leave,
but the reclamation of the Holy
Land will act as magnet and
gradually it will be settled and be-
come the stronghold of the Jews

IN MEMORIAM

Wednesday, Dec IL, 1901, the
spirit Of 0na Belle Rlevins return
ed unto God who gave it. For
several months she had been the
most patient of sufferers-no mur-
mur ever passed her lips. Her
thought was not of self, butof 9th
ers. Her sublime altruism was
shown in her heroic endeavor to
leave some slight token to those
whom she loved most dearly. Al
though her earthly pilgrimage was
brief, yet the influence of her beau
tiful life will not soon be forgot
ten. She lived on plane far re-
moved from the low, base and sor-
did things of time. The true, the
beautiful and the good-the higher
things Of God, were her delight /.
She knew Iin-w sshesbelieyed,
like Mary She shadachosen the bet
ter part, 'land for hisgreason had
caught that broader vision of love
and service. Let us then rejoice
with her and not mourn for her.
Yea though pale death knocks at
the cottage and palace gate alike,
vet theIe is One who answers ] am
the resurrection and the life.
"In the Paradise Of Jesus
There are many homes Of light,
And they shine beyond the darkness
With a radiance clear and bright.
There are sounds of many voices
In the golden streets above,
Filling all the air with gladness
Blended in eternal love.
Can we see the happy faces
of the dear ones gone before'
They are ready now to greet us
When we gain the blessed shore.
Then the pearly gates unfolding,
Never shall be closed again;
We shall see within the city
Jesus:with his white-robed train.'

Woman is often referred TO by
man as "doubling his joys and hal
wing his sorrows. That may be
complimentary but it would seem
to be rather hard ON the woman.
For in plain terms it means that
where things are going well with
the man his wife makes them 20
better. But when things are going
i'll with him, he expects the wife
to share half his burden And
there's more truth than poetry in
this presentation of masculine sell
fishness. Men don t appreciate the
fact that the strain of motherhood
alone is burden bigger than all
the loads that rest upon male
shoulders. They see the wife grow
thin, pale, nervous and worn with
out a thought that she is over-bur-
dened. Among the pleasant letters
received by DR.. Pierce are those
from husbands who have walked up
before il was too late TO the crush
ing burdens laid upon the wife,
and in the search for help have
found in Dr. Pierce's Favorite
Prescription restorative which
has given back to the mother the
health Of the maiden and the mai
den's happiness. "Favorite Pre-
scription dl'cays helps, and almost
always cures. 1t has perfectly

the animal without doing it any

The record of l.. Ellis the winning pitch

Trees Drink Like Horses.

Irrigation on the capillary attraction
principle is now being Investigated by
the state board of horticulture, and the
government experiment station at Fort
Collins. with a view to recommending 1t
for adoption in this state. Fruit grow
ers who have experimental with the
scheme declare IL to be entirely feasible
and much more effective than the old
way of feeding moisture to trees by way
of the roots
Flage Carter of Park county, the first
person to try the plan in this state, wrote
Governor Orman some time ago eN-
planning the method of irrigating a tree
by capillary attraction. He takes a YES
sell a pan or bucket, or anything that
can be tied to a tree limb and will hold
water. He fills IL with water and then
bends a twig about the circumference
of an ordinary lead pencil into the
water, The liquid will be rapidly alb
sorbed by the twig and in turn the water
will enter the limb and soon permeate
every part of the tree. The problem
of keeping the vessels supplied with
water is not difficult one, for the rea-
son that a half gallon of water will do
as much irrigating as many cubic inches
under the present plan.
Capillary attraction is the future of
orchard irrigation" says the originator
of the proposition. 81 took up the mat
ter two years ago, but did not put it to
final test until this spring. Then I
had two trees that needed attention
badly, and l experimental with each.
One young tree had been rubbed by a
horse and was wilted badly. l applied
my method of watering IT and within
one week 1t completely revived. l next
treated a sick apple tree, and now 1t is
all right, thanks to the capillary attrac-
ton principle. "-[Denver Post. =. ...... 50.

until the fair sboist responded with en-
cores and bowed her thanks many, many
times.

the beautiful figure which had already
captured the entire gathering
The audience was spellbound during her
singing of the famous compositions, a
favorite with all the great soloists who
vie with one another in their renditionS,
and all thought of comparing the singer
with the great prima donnas who have
been heard here before vanished. for her
hearers We're listening to notes that car
ried them far away and made them for

night audience will fail to recall her
wondrous notes? Mary Howe's name
will hereafter occupy a special place in
the memory of all who heard her.
Her voice is of unusually wide range
and while her lower notes are clear and
strong, it is in the upper register that
she excels and shows the greatest power
