IN THE MONTH OF JUNE
IT. Is When the Sungod Marrles His
Sweetheart.

Tue loving kisses blown to her from
rosy lips long mouldered into dust, would
fill thousand Clcopatrau sails. and yet
with all the sunny largess Of her life. sho
comes to US matchless miracle forever
new. writes Charles j. Bayne. in The
Savannah Press Six thousand times the
tender hopes and fears, the longing and
alarm which flow in eeaseless cycles
through her heart. have met their mir
rored image in hor liquid eyes-those
splendid bequcathed by ''ox.eyod Juno
to the ox'eyed june. But all their
depths have not been sounded yet--their
utmost reaches still are unexplored. Men
gaze upon the billowy seas of wheat. the
tossing tassels Of the corn. which ripen
IN the radiance of her smile. and read
the annual mystery how death succumbs
to life. They fee the rich fulfllment of
the hope which followed every seed, and
catch the promise Of The Harvest Home.
From time beyond the memory of man,
it has been peculiarly the month when
maidenhood takes on the matron's charm
when girliah laughter melts to smiles
OF sweet content. Her moonlit nights
and mellow moons are young loves own
ambrosial hours. To city streets and
parks, as we'll as woodland ways. she
brings her own imperial grace. and all
her trailing train is founced with flowers.
The feather ferns are woven in hor hair
and from her ripping voice the cool
streams learn their laughter. Upon her
cheeks are berries, and berries on her
lips. The very languor of her faryid
hours is fhnned by breezcs sweet with
summer dreams. She brings tho vision
of pervading peace where pigeons precn

The Blue Back Spelling Book.

The sales of some modern
American novels have reached
into the hundreds of thousands,
and two. one of which is mod
ern, the other a classic, have
passed the million mark. Web
ster's old ''Spelling Book" may
not have been as exciting as
these novels, but as a ."seller''
it surpassed them all so far rs
to be in a class by itself. The
history, recently published, Of
the firm which printed the
Spelling Book" for great
many years contains some inter-
esting figures. The smallest
number sold during one year was
m ore than a third of million
in 1853; the largest, more than a
million and q half. in 1866; and
during the entire thirty-tive
years when the firm in
question published tue books
more than thirty one million
copies was sold. It is doubtful
if any book except the Bible

For putting in prime condition
any horse or mule the best of all
remedies is Ashcraft's Condition
Powders. These Powders are won
derfully effective because they Gre
ate appetite, the digestion is made
perfect, worms and parasites de-
stroyed, and the system cleansed
of all gross humors. The Pow
ders fatten but never bloat.
Ashcraft's Condition Powders
are wrapped in doses. In fact, in
their preparation the same care is
used that a druggist would exer-
else in the filling of a physicians
prescription. High grade and real
merit is the first consideration.
Ashcraft's Powders consist of
small doses, prepared from the
purest and highly concentrated in.
gradients, that have been found
beneficial to horses and mules.
Ashcraft's Condition Powders
always high grade-are not to be
classed with the many bulky, good
for-everything powders now on the
market.
Ask for Ashcraft's, the kind put
