All sunshine work is intended to pro-
mote the happiness Of others, and the
Sunshine Sales as conducted by our
worthy state president, Mrs. Mabel l..
Ayers and the ladies who have volun-
teered to assist her in conducting and
making success of them have contri-
buted their full share toward making
geed cheer in the hearts and homes of
many people.
A number do fancy work as a pleas
ant passtime and pass on the work to
be sold, as a gift to sunshine; others
having more time and talent than mon
ey, make pretty articles for the 'sales,
giving their time and loving thought
talong with the cost of material, to
swell the sunshine fund-and loving
thoughts are no small factor in sunshine
work, it is what makes the wheels go
round. Still others donate something
they can spare that is at hand, already
done; while the shut-in ones, by far the
largest class of givers, find their great
est JOY in being thus enabled by the
work Of their own hands to do a share
of sunshine making, feeling that it is
indeed 'more blessed to give than to
receive"
Some work last year that was espec-
tally mentioned for the beautiful needle
work, was done by lady who has been
so crippled by rheumatism for the last
eleven years that she has been unable
to take step or help herself in any way
except that by holding aneedle between
the first and second finger of her right
hand she can sew little while at a
time. In this way she has made many
useful and fancy articles, and makes
fnf OIL
lace work. She says in a letter, "Try
holding needle in this way to sew, il
you think it is easy" Mrs. Ayers SAYS
of this lady's work, "a corset cover
made by Mrs. +. brought three dollars
and we could have sold ten times as
many at the same price,"
There are many others whom it is
equally interesting to hear about. Some
who are totally blind make beautiful
things that make one wonder how it
is possible without sight to acquire the
skill necessary to do the work. There
is still another work connected with
the sales which is important. Anyone
who needs the money or wishes to use
1t themselves in sunshine work, can, by
marking the price wanted on any arti-
Gle sent and so requesting, have the
money received for it returned to her
without paying any commission for the
selling. A great many shut-ins receiv-
ed the only money they had ever earn
ed in this way, and the feeling that
they were of use was of inexpressible
value to them.
A social and festival given under the
auspices of Sunshine at the home of
Mrs. James Mcclure Tuesday evening
was attended by over q hundred people
and enjoyed by all The net proceeds
|-$15.45-was presented to a most
worthy cause. The rain hurried
number home, so the organizing of a
new branch was postponed, but arrang-
ed to meet again for that purpose. All
the ladies were enthusiastic, and the
gentlemen interested, and one suggest
ed that as the ladies were all sunshiners
that they themselves be moonshiners,
as they wished TO shine in a "mild way"

HOLD. FUNERAL IN A TENT,
Big Canvas Put to Many Strange Uses
Serves as Church to
Mourners.

In Kendall county, ILL.,, there is big
canvas tent that has been made to serve
for an odd mixture of purposes For
many years it covered regulation saw
dust ring in which there were all kinds
OF performances by man and beast. On
other occasions it was made use of for
revivals, and has been hauled around
the country from place to place for
many purposes. This year Aurora
bloomed out as Chautauqua town, and
the tent sheltered big audiences intent
on hearing lectures, recitations, and
speeches from well-known takers.
Music of all kinds has at odd times filled
the big Enclosure. However, the oldest
purpose to which it was ever put came
when Nels o. Cassem, well-known
Kendall county man, fell from his
wagon as he was'driving along the pub
lie highway and broke his neck. Cas-
sem was well-known character, a
farmer who in all of that section was
known as the liking of the Norwegians."
He was known to be worth several hun
dred thousand dollars in valuable lands,
and the funeral promised to be larger
than any church in lorkvile or Aurora
would hold. One of the sons resorted to
unique eNpedient. He hired the big
tent and stretched it out on one of the
beautiful meadows over which his IA
Their had roamed for so many years. and
the funeral sermon was thus preached
under canvas.

QUEER SOLOMON OAKS.

A queer old fellow is Solomon Oaks;
He belongs to the good-natured order of
folks;
He sings and he whistles about the work
And nobody has ever known him to
shirk,
And he makes you think. with his blithe
good cheer,
OF the merry backbirds when spring Is
here
If they come to him with a doIeful tale
or a neighbours faults, they always fail
To rouse attention to what they tell.
AT such time he can't hear very we'll;
But If they praise up a nelghbor-then
He can hear as we!. us me pest Of men,
BY his friends of the living as well as the
dead.

gone wrong,
TELL pause perhaps, in his cheerful song.
And say: I'm sorry, but there must be
Some good to his ,creGit, it seems to me"

stick to my business. as best can,
And keep on good terms with my fellow

And the better treat him. it seems to me
The better my fellow-man treats me-"
A queer old fellow, this Solomon Oaks,

jokes,

Her Hands.

In memorys records dim and faint,
The features of my mothers face,
With the calm look of gentle grace
That marked our households quiet
saint.
The innocence of hel. blue eyes.
The winning smile about her lips,
Child simple and vet woman wise,
Her shining hair, her modest guise
All come in turn; each fades and
slips.
try to fix them, but in vain,
They waver and yet will not fuse,
How e'er Imagination strain
To form the face that it would feign.
Till on sudden, as I muse,
There comes thought of her dear
hands.
All wrinkled. tanned and labor-worn.
And there the simple woman stands,
To meet her duty's hard demands
Among the children she has borne.
No work nor written word remains,
Nor picture worthy to approve;
But read in knotted joints and veins,
And tendons strong and honest stains
The tale of service and of love!
0 hands Of ministry that wrought
In constant care through veal and
woe,
Nor rest by crib or coffin caught
| This pang is mine-I never thought
To kiss your fingers long ago!

THE NEAR EASTERN TROUBLE

According to Their Agent
In Paris,

Paris, Fob. 2l.-M. Z]oloilovitz, the
Bulgarian agent in Paris, made the
following statement today:
Il can give the formal assurance
that Bulgaria has more than ever re-
solved to do nothing to compromise
the peace. 1t is with great satiscac-
ton that we have seen the powers clab-
crate ~ plan for reforms in Macedonia
and we wish, without reservation, the
reforms realized. Above all, with this
moment when the powers arc follow
ing with anxiety the events i'm the far
east. Bulgaria will avoid doing any
thing that would cause tho belief that
she proposes to profit by the crisis. The
Bulgarian people have unanimously
expressed warm sympathy with Rus
STA.
1T is unfortunate that Turkey per-
sists In her rcgrcttable hostility. Be
sides the annoying police measures she
has taken against our people our COM
merCc suffers serious Obstacles: and
finally. the continued concentration OF
Turkish troops along our frontier and
the mobilization of troops at strategic
points Is menacing us"
NJ. Iolollovitz said there is n war
party i'm C~onStantinoplc which has a
preponderating influence and quoted
from consular reports to the effect that
the Turks fear "a military uprising if
war with Bulgaria Is not declared.
In the light of these facts" NJ.
Iolollovitch concluded, cit is natural
that Bulgaria, too, should be prcpar-
ing"
