"LIEBSCHEN."

When the god OF dreams is good soE et.C,e
All, then soft accents How,
And visions of the glory vines
And ways l used Ito go
Come down through sunderland to me,
We're back beneath the old elm tree,
We're back to where l long 10 be,
l hear her whisper low
j hear the "liebschen" like a sigh
Well from her ripe red lips,
i see the loveiight in her eye.
Days orb swings low and dips
Below the far horizon line
The world. my world, is all, all mine,
Our lips meet-fingers intertwine,
All, heavens in those sips
She is my world, All mine, My own!
Beneath the Old elm tree
i learned she loved. loved me alone
All l would tonight that We
Were where We stood that iar-off time,
Beneath the elm, and glory vine:
Just she and l. just me and mine;
Would We might ever be,
But well win back and scorn the years
That seek to intervene,
And we'll forget the longing tears
And miles that stretch between.
And love shall make US glad again.
AS glad again as We were then.
Ill hear the "LiebsCheH" soft as when
No years had come between!

OF the milk. If a farmer, or producer

is dirty and full of hay dust, which is
usually found by straining, and if hay

cannot expect TO make good butter You
may say that by separation or pasteur-

ers could not make the best butter ont
of such milk; they might make better
butter than some. but not the best Init
ter. So the undesirable flavors for the
most part come from poor care of the
milk. and cannot urge too strongly the
fact that to help our industry to make
better goods and make uniformly hotter
goods we must begin at the beginning
We have done great deal. but we have
begun at the wrong end; we have started
with the creamery end and we should

With his mother and his dad,
He lives within a rose-e uncovered haunt
And this little lad at times
Makes the queerest little rhymes,
Singing frowningly:

But again his eyes of blue
Glisten as he looks a you.
And he tries your empty heart with love

COOLING FACTORY MILK.
Will Prove satisfactory in
All Localities

We are now receiving milk from 1870
patrons at the Dairy School creamery,
and We advise our patrons to use such
milkhouse as is shown in the illustra-
ton for keeping of milk from day to

with windmill and live stock watering

erect some sort of a milkhouse on the
plan of the diagram. The cans of milk
may be set in the tank inside the milk
house. and all the water which is
pumped for the live stock by passing
through this tank will keep the milk
cold until it is ready to be taken to the

Butter aR Quick Fuel.

The first instance of where butter has
been used for fuel that we have heard OF
is reported from the Edgewood creamery
in Siskiyou county, California. A fire
broke out in the neighborhood of the
creamery that threatened the plant
which VISA only saved by hastily getting
up steam to operate the pump. This
was done by throwing 90 pounds of but
ter into the boiler, which resulted in get
ting the pump in motion by means of
which the flames were extinguished.-

pinch Of depression is felt by all classes,
according to the Brooklyn Eagle.
The reason for this state Of affairs is
not hard to discover. 1t is the same
curse that has crushed Ireland-ab-
sentee lanGlOrdism-ia a little different
but not less fatal form. The area of the
colony is only 1886 square miles. Of
this $500 square miles, or one-third, is
owned by one London land company.
In all more than four-fitths CT the COL
ony is the property of a handful OF
English prOprietors who will not sell
nor lease Eor permit settlement nor cul-
tiYation. They derive. a sure. steady
and perpetual income by working the
mahogany, rosewood, cedar, logwood
and other natural products of the for
ests, and for this reason desire to keep
their domains forever wilderness.
An effort has been made to compel
these absentee landlords to sell their
holdings at an appraised valuation.
However, so Overshadowing is their in
fuence that the laws passed for this
purpose have proved imperative. 1t
therefore seems probable that the coun-
try will long continue to be held in pawn

This what Judge Cary read, writ

misspelled words:
This certifies that Jack Brandon,
son of the late John Brandon, is a
polite, kind young fellow. He is kind
to animals, can reckon money correct,
and has good strong temperance prin-
ciples. He can stand ridicule, AMI
can sacrifice his own interests WITH

the Judge, when he has spelled out
the scrawl.
How do know? Well, I'll tell you

rapidly closing the old man told OF
his interview with the two Brandon
boys. Nov, that Jack took off his
hat while he talked with me, so ]

to pat the cat when she rubbed up
against him. so know he is kind to
animals. He gave up the nutting
party to do me kindness, and didn't
seem to think it was any great thing
to do. He did my errands all square
and brought back the change, more
than expected, because some of the
things were cheaper than 1 thought

But what about the temperance

Aunt Busy extends her thanks to
the dear niece in Canon City for her
appreciation of the Intermountain
Catholic.
Aunt Busy is very sure that the dear
good priests, the Reverend Fathers
Kiely, will also appreciate being re-
membered SO fondly by devoted little
girl.
All the young people, who ever fell
under the wise guardianship of Rev.
Dennis Kelly have reason to be CRATE
full to him. He was for many years the
spiritual director of st. Mary's Acad-
envy, and the old st. Mary's girls will
remember him until life's close. Aunt
Busy hopes to hear from you very
often for the future, dear niece. Do
not forget Aunt Busy's advice. Perse-
we're in your writing.

Girls.

You will never be sorry for:
Having a kind regard for the feel.
ings and the rights of other people
Being as polite to your own parents,
brothers and sisters, your school
mates or shopmates, as you are to
strangers.
Being strictly honest in everything
you do, and strictly truthful in every.
thing you say.
Refusing to talk and laugh loudly
in public places, or to stare at unfor-
tunate people, or to make facetious
remarks about your fellow travellers.
Remembering that to chew gum in
public is to make a spectacle of your.
self, and that to eat candy or peanuts
in public is to label yourself Under
bred"
Making yourself tidy and attractive
in your own home every day.
Being reverent and respectful to old
people whether in your own home or
out of it. You may be old yourself
some day.
Not forgetting to say thank you
for the slightest service rendered you
by the most insignificant being.
Please, dear, never say thanks"
Being true to God, true to your
church, true to your friends, true to
the instincts of nobility in your own
soul.
