shape, although the completed pro-
gramme will not be ready for the print

The stars were all alight,
The moon was overhead:
L named her queen of night,
AS she my footsteps led.
So wondrous fair was she,
L asked her to be mine,
As she glanced up at me
1 thrilled with love divine.
Beside the meadow bars.
AS she stood lingering there,
Her eyes were like the stars,
In radiance wondrous fair.
You're all the world to me-"
She murmured sweet and shy,
A thrill of ecstasy

Love led US all the way.

Though shadows cross the sky.
NO gloom our hearts could know.

When hearts are blended so.

Saw Geese in His Dreams.

Leroy Ferris, a well known citi-
izen of Lexington, is in receipt of
a remarkable letter from resi-
dent of the state of Washington,
inclosing a money order for 50,
The writer stated that about thirty
years ago, while living upon a
farm adjoining that of Mr.. Ferris
he killed two or three geese be-
longing to the latter.
No charges had ever been filed
against him, and he did not know
whether he had been under suspi-
cion or not, but of late years he
had been seeing geese in his
dreams. They flew around him
constantly during his sleeping
hours, and he was forced TO send
the money, hoping to get relief
from the horrible nightmare caus-
ed by the constant tapping of
their wings and the incessant hiss
ing from their snake-like thrOats.
Mr.. Ferris Immediately acknowl-
edged receipt OF the remittance,
and expressed hope that the
spell would be lifted from the con-
science stricken man.-Chicago

Let Us Fight the Cotton Boil

Ii appears from recent tele

a chemist in the service of the Ag

arrived in the Tennessee city, auo
reported that all attempts to dc
stroy the cotton wecvil had failed
and that cotton growing west o1
the Mississippi River will come to
an end, or words To that effect.
1t appears that this person had
been sent to Texas TO kill off TIE
cotton weevils. and having failed
in his mission he has become i'm
pressed with the idea that the zig

west. The fact is. that chemistry
which has vast particle value in
many departments Of business, is
but small factor in protecting
the growing and gathered croI 5
from insect pests. The chemist in
such a capacity is merely a pois-
oner, and If he cannot entice or

There is not food or fibre crop

devoured every green thing in vast
acres of the West, the seventeen
year locusts that work their havoc
on the forests, and the army worm
which devasted hundreds of square
miles of country. They have in

To associate with those who are

easy and satisfactory to ones van
