KING GUARDS HOME LIFE.
cation of Interviews with His
Chance Visitors.

Much as ne appreciates the pomp
and circumstance of royalty ON public
and state occasions, King Edward is
annoyed by the publication of details
in his private life which have recently
been appearing in the daily and week
y newspapers, states the New York
Sun.
After each visit of theatrical COM
pany or individual performers at Sam
dringham or Windsor the newspapers
have been filed with interviews with
the actors who gave descriptions of
the scenes. One actor described a
conversation at a supper; another gave
kindly, appreciatiye account of the
kaixer's actions. An actress did much
the same for the queen. She also de-
serloed how the customs in the rob.f
circle had been altered. The schaI \

THERE IS PROFIT IN WEEDS.
Provided That the Right Varieties
Are CultIvnted-some Illustrn-
tive instances.

A garden of weeds is not the un'
| profitable thing usually imagined
| that is, if the right sort OF weeds
are permitted to grow therein. we
| know of gardener who actually en-
courages groundsel, devoting a great
piece of ground to it's cultivation. VI
all weeds this is the gardeners pest,
but our present subject has an eye
to business, relates London Tit-Bits.
His groundsel crop-there are sew
eral during the seasons constantly
hawked in the streets as food for
birds. He declares that there is more
money in field of groundsel than In
a field of beans or cabbage plot.
1t is said that a certain farmer in
the midlands grows the troublesome
weed known as lady's mantel by the
acre. Horses and sheep are fond of
the lady's mantel, but few think to
raise crops of it. AS a fodder plant
it might very profitably be cultivated,
growing luxuriantly on any soil and
practically taking care of itself I'M
til ready for the scythe.
A Yorkshire farmer cultivates the
common vetch in great abundance
on ground formerly devoted to tur-
nips and oats. Not only is the vetch
good food for animals, but it pos
sesses medicinal properties as well.
Horses will eat heartily of the cool,
succulent herb when everything else
is refused. Nettles are greatly in
favor among poor people in the
north of England during the early
spring months. Boiled as spinach
they are agreeable and wholesome
fact which an elderly lady turns to
account. One-half of her big garden
in Lancashire is overgrown with the
weeds, which she sells readily to the
cottagers at a penny per big bundle.
Common as is the nettle, it is tedious
work picking quantity, but in this
garden it grows in such abundance
that an armful may be torn up in a
few minutes. Gladly then the penny
is given to save a mornings tramp
over the commons. The same lady
grows chickweed, for larks and lin
nets, easily disposing of it. AS it
springs up quickly fresh supplies are
ever ready.
Another energetic woman cult
Yates blackberries for the market,
and makes them pay, too. The care
fully tended berries are far superior
in size and flavor to those of the
wild variety, the crop is more GER
tain, and there is no expense in their
cultivation. She wonders why gar
deners do not grow blackberries as
a general thing. "They are more
profitable than raspberries," she says,
"aAd far more delicious. Everybody |
likes blackberries, and no matter |
how heavy the crop they are never
left on ones hands. Several persons,
acting on my advice, have introduced |
brambles in their gardens, and ex-
press themselves delighted with the
results. In couple of years the
berries grow SO large that they seem
like distinct species altogether"

1t Was the Card.

The weary housekeeper paused beside
the basket of eggs that bore the card

said. Il suppose you guarantee their

FACES.

A dead rock can never vie in
interest with a living face, nor
an unspeaking world with the
sparkling life of eyes that talk.
Stars, oceans. continents are
majestic and their omnipotent
Maker worshipful; but even He
is unimaginable except as a man.
The heart throbs that count, the
studies that pay, the impulses
that compel us to tasks come
either from the lives of our fell
lows, studied as history, or from
the living, throbbing, working
crowd around us, where here
and there a face that stands out
in challenge to our own as one
whose smile of approval out
weighs all else.
The silver messenger. (Challis, Idaho) 1890-1912, 1903-11-03
SENSITIVE PLANTS.

There are plants so equipped
that, at a touch, their leaves fold
up. They are living pictures of
the effect of suspicion upon a
friendly soul. He cannot remain
frankly open. His good nature
stiffens into miserable formality.
Suspicion kills off those eager
impulses towards the doing of
good which have glorifed and
adorned the bare human trunk,
lacking every lovely attribute in
the beginning, as evolution tells
us. Suspicion is every way harm
full, therefore. 1t shuts up the
mind of the beneficiary to a cold
and formal world where sron-
taneous good has no place; and
it stands the benefactor's hand.
The silver messenger. (Challis, Idaho) 1890-1912, 1903-11-03
THREE POINTS.

Birth, toll, death-this is the
natural cycle for all of us. How
clear the most complex life be-
comes when reduced to such
simple elements. In each man,
high or low, the parentage af-
fects his birth; his toll is trum-
pet announcement Of his ideals;
the pace of his end is the fruit
age of character. We little leav-
es on the trunk of humanity
sometimes almost dare to hope
for a different finality from the
lowly or the sad or the despair
ing. 1t will be the same and
kindly too in it's leveling. We
cannot cling to the tree forever.
The silver messenger. (Challis, Idaho) 1890-1912, 1903-11-03
NEVER DESPAIR.

Though the spirit may be
keenly alive TO ideals and great
therein, yet the execution of pur-
poses is, in some degree in every
one, hampered by faults that the
world may or may not know.
We are hoppled by mistakes OF
years ago or we are too eager for
the harvest before the patient
task of blowing, sowing and cul-
tivation. In such way, no mans
work is absolute and many a
mans work seems ineffective. If,
however, all disappointments are
met with the spirit of Never Des-
pair-striving ever, despairing
never-the pure heart with high
ideals shall not suffer complete
defeat.
The silver messenger. (Challis, Idaho) 1890-1912, 1903-11-03
RIPEN1NG FRosrs.

Some roots beneath the ground
are often bettered by the frost.
They mellow and grow fit to
nourish the needy. Every such
fact has it's counterpart in human
life. Do we not often see in the
frost-line on the brow the first
sign of mellowing grace ? There
are ripenings of character at
frost time that are not possible
when the tide of life is high and
the blood surges like a burning
torrent through the veins. Mat
ure judgment now views more
calmly the facts of life and
soothes the heart when it would
desire those things that are be-
You'd possible attainment.
The silver messenger. (Challis, Idaho) 1890-1912, 1903-11-03
A PRESCRIPTION.

Use this on a gloomy day +:
think how many have no work
to do, yet want it; think how
many have no JOY in their work
and by reason of heart breaking
circumstances of force and grind
will never have it; think how
many seem to have no strength
for duty and act as if doomed to
seek it in vain. Then look
within. You have labor, you
have inspiration, you have al
ready surmounted many obstac-
les. If all these blessings seem
to show you no cheering ray of
light, the sight Of your mind
must be defective, and you need
moral surgery.
The silver messenger. (Challis, Idaho) 1890-1912, 1903-11-03
GOOD RICH.

A man of wealth should not be
accused of trying to buy his way
into Heaven, just because he en-
deavors to do good on earth.
Riches test character and many
there are who fail to remain sim
pie and kindly when wealth
comes. Surely every rich man,
opening his hand to fling far the
benefits that massed money can
bring to community, is to be
praised for rising superior to the
benumbing influences of acquisi-
ton. The rich man who has

SUSPICION.

Caution is proper enough; it is
a virtue in dealing with strang-
ers; may be it even remains a
virtue between friends;for a turn
of fortune can transform friends
into enemies, and then former
condolences become weapons for
our own undoing. But to be sus-
picious of every little courtesy,
hunting for a motive below kind
ness, cycling a gift as though it
had power for harm; asking
why do you do this p when
the simplest explanation is a
kindly impulse-such an attitude
of mind sounds the knell of
friendship and ought to. Friend
ship is not flower bearing in an
atmosphere of suspicion.

TIMBER THOUGHTS.

The thought in the Autumn,
when the leaves go driving by.
is not by right, despair at wasted
effort, but joy that the sum of
the efforts of all the myrid leaves
has been an imperceptible
growth. We know the trees are
larger, we know that the timber,
too small for dignified use last
year will by next year be ripe
for it's human service. This the
leaves have done. Now duty for
them is ended and they are swept
away in the democracy of death,
each as noble as each in having
done some service, and each add
ing something of fragrance to
breeze that fiurries them.
