GEMS IN VERSE

A Western Twilight.
Nausht save the barren prairie, straight
as the ravens flight.
Not a cloud upon the heavens mars the
coming of the night:
Not a tree to break the sky line, where the
sunset bands OF red,
Half across the western border, tell the
summer day Is dead.
Twenty thousand shining star beams clus-
tered round a crescent moon,
Stealing out the purple eastland in the
waning t%wiright's gloom:
In a stiffness deep, primevtl, in a mist
light like the morn,
Out upon the trackless prairie one more
summer night Is born.

quested Mr.. Gregory to return the
sketch at once. Mr., Gregory sent
it back and with it a note that
while it would answer in some re.
spects, he believed he could fur

days ago Gov. Herrid telegraphed
M. Gregory to send on his views.

Mine Notes
4 HUR MINE.


The Ben Hur mine of the Horse
shoe Mining company is shipping be-
tween eighty and 100 tons OF ore per
day to the smelter at Rapid City, In
addition to the ore sent daily to the
cyanide plant at the Mogul mine.
w. L. Mclaughlin, general manager
Of the company, said yesterday that
the Ben Hur promised to fully equal
the record Of the Lucille. The ore
that is going to the Rapid City
smelter assays close to fifteen dollars
per ton. This will give the com
pany q handsome profit over and
above the expenses Of mining, trans
portation and smelling.
At the recent meeting of direc.
tors in the east, E. w. Harding,
treasurer and director OF the COM
pany; E. +. Mccarthy, directors,
resigned with Mr.. Holbrook, the
president. They also resigned as
directors OF the National Smelling
company, owner OF the National

The following is a pretty good
story that is going the rounds,
which you need not believe If you
don't want to: A farmer in Indiana
had a novel experience. A few
years ago he built small barn
and in its construction used green
willow posts at the corners and
along the sides. For some time
nothing unusual was noticed, but
after a year he saw that whereas he
had laid the floor near the ground,
it was three feet above the soil. He
discovered that the willow posts,
instead of being dead, were alive.
had taken root and were growing
In their upward movement they
had carried the barn along. Last
spring the barn was on stills nine
feet high and he put in a new floor
and surrounded the posts with
siding, thereby making two-story
affair. There is now space of seven
inches between the new floor and
the ground and the owner expects
to have a three-story barn in the
course of time.

she interrupted stoutly, rubbing her
cheek softly against his hand.
"And," he paused. graciously
having allowed her interruption,
"we shall have to come down to
strict economy. But if you can only
manage as my mother does we shall
pull through nicely"
"And how does your mother
manage, dear?" she asked smiling
but very happily-at the notion
OF the mother-in-law cropping out
already.
II don't know" replied the lover,
radiantly, "but she always manag-
ed to have everything neat and
cheerful and something delicious
to eat-and she does it all herself,
you know So that we always get
along beautifully and father and l
still have plenty of spending mon
ey. You see when a woman is al
ways hiring her laundry work done
and gowns and bonnets made, and
all that sort of thing-why, it just
walks into a mans income and
takes his breath away"
The young woman looked for a
moment as if her breath was also
inclined for a vacation, but she
wisely concealed her dismay, and,
being one of the stout hearted of
the earth, she determined to learn
few things of Johns mother, and
so went to her for a long visit the
next day. Upon the termination of
this visit one fine morning John re-
ceived, to his bland amazement, a
little package containing his en-
gagement ring, accompanied by the
following letter:
II have learned how your mother
manages, and | am going to ex-
plain it to you, since you have con-
fessed you didn't know. / find that
she is a wife, a mother, a house
keeper, business manager, hired
girl, laundress, a seamstress, a
member and patcher, a dairymaid,
a cook, a nurse, a kitchen gardner
and a general slave for family of
five. She worked from five in the

almost wept:when l kissed her hand,
it was so hard and wrinkled and
corded and unkissed When saw
her polishing the stoves, carrying
big buckets of water and great arm

such things for her. "Johnl" she
repeated, 'Johnr-and she sat down
with a perfectly dazed look as she
asked why angels didn'tcome down

The construction in 1902 represents
solely new lines.
The record for the year for textile
progress Is remarkable. It shows ad.
dttions in the South Of 1,11e,2S4 spin
dies and 1857 looms.
The low grade goods that have in
the past engaged the attention Of the
Southern mills do not attract the new
companies, but they plan for Droduc-
ing the finer grades OF cloth. Another
decided tendency is that which wAl
eventually enable the South to finish
the cloths made within It's borders in
stead Of shipping them to the north
ern and eastern finishing plants. Be-
sides several isolated finishing plants
there were two large ones reported
in 1892, one with capital Of 92,5OO,-
900 to have branches in different local
tiles. Established companies seem
determined to keep their lead in the
matter of spindles. This feature Ia
dicates that the men who have had the
best and longest experience in the
South know that the cotton manufac.
turing industry there is built on q
broad and firm foundation and will In

ton manufacturing section of the

THE WASTES OF THE BODY

Every seven days the blood, muscles
and bone of man of average size loses
two pounds of worn cut tissue. This
waste cannot be replenished and the
health and strength kept up without
perfect digestion. When the stomach

their functions, the strength lets down,
health gives way, and disease sets up,
Kodol Dyspepsia Cure enables the
stomach and digestive organs to digest
and assimilate all of the wholesome
