HARVEST TIME AT HOME.

Eomehow, when business has lull about
this time of year,
My thoughts take their vacation back
among the scenes once dear.
I stray about the harvest fields where long
and long ago
watched the cereal ocean in its golden
ripples flow,
While now and then upon some blade a
tired reaper bore
The sunbeams flashed and then went out
like thoughts. recalled no more.
AS faint as falling echoes of a signal far at
sea,
The clink of scythes and whetlock come in
rhythmic harmony;
Among the brooding hills near by, in
evening shadows dim,
One would not start to catch a glimpse OF
wingng seraphim;
For sweet the ways with tinkling bells
where browsing cattle roam,
And all of nature hints of Heaven in
harvest time at home.
How pleasant then the journey home along
the country road,
Where larkspur blooms beside the fence
Like knots of lovers glowed-
Now listening to the whip-poor-will be-
yond darkling field,
Or tarrying where the berries tempt-a
shower of wine congealed;
And long before we reached the gate to
hear the Watchdog bark,
And see the distant windows CLEAN like
blossoms of the dark.
1t seems so long since those old years-so
long indeed, that I
Now wonder that time could be without
sob or sigh,
And yet, enough do recall to vow that In
the end
When the no more and evermore in deaths
twilight shall blend
It would suffice to know that life. beyond
the gathering gloam
Would really prove as care free as-the
harvest time at home.

many men in this neighborhood used to
complain of pains in the back, but now
scarcely one can be found who has any
such trouble.
Mr.. Gottlieb Mill is largely responsible
for the improvement, for it was he who
first of all found the remedy for this
Backache. He has recommended it to all
his friends and neighbors, and in every
case it has had wonderful success.
Mr.. Mill says:-
'For many years I had been troubled
with my Kidneys and pains in the small
Of my back: tried many medicines but ~
did not derive any benefit until last fall,
when I bought dozen boxes of Dodd's
Kidney Pills. After using them a few
days began to improve, my back quit
aching and felt better and stronger all
around.
"I will keep them in the house right
along, for in my opinion they are the best
medicine in the market to-day, and if my
back should bother me again, I will use
nothing else."

for. For Minnesota they amounted to

tons from the corresponding month Of
1902, making the season to Oct. 1st

of the previous year to the same date.
The decline from other ports for the
month was considerable, and the total
for the year has fallen 100000 tons
below 1902. 1t is supposed that the

about as heavily the present month as
it did last year, bu all other roads are.
