THE HOME CIRCLE
Sir Walter Raleigh.*

Sir Walter Raleigh
He is not greatest who with pick and spade
Makes excavations for some splendid fame;
Nor he who lays with trowel, plumb, and line
Upon the eternal rock it's base of stone:
Nor Is he greatest who lifts slow it's walls,
Flutes its white pillars, runs it's architrave
And frieze and cornice, sets its pictured panes,
And points its airy minarets with gold:
Nor he who peoples angle, niche, and aisle
With sculptured angels, and with symbol graves
Column and arch and nave and gallery:
These are but delivers, masons, artisans,
Each working out his part of that vast plan
Projected IN the master builders brain.
And he who wakes the organs soulful tones,
Faint, far away, like those that haply steal
The first notes of the song of the redeemed
From out the spirit-world to dying ears;
Or rouses it In lamentations wild
Of Calvary, or moves it's inmost deeps
With sobs and cryings unassuaged that touch
The heart to tears for unforgiven SIM
He voices but the echo of that hymn
Whose surges shock the great composers soul.
Bold admirals of the vast high seas of dream,
With neither chart nor azimuth nor star,
That push your prows into the mighty trades
And ocean streams towards continents unknown:
Brave pioneers that slowly blaze your way
And set your cairns for people yet unborn
Upon imagination's dim frontiers,
Ye are the makers, rulers of the worldi
And so this splendid land to seward laid,
With opulent fields and many a winding stream
And virgin wood: with stores of gems and veins
Of richest ore: with mills and thronging marts,
The domain of the freest of the free
IT'S but the substance of his dream, the pure,
The true, the generous knight who marked its
bounds q
With liberal hand by interfusing seas.
What though no sage may read the riddle dark
Of Croatan, that band difused through marsh
and solitude! Their valor did not die,
Ruf u InoOrnnrofo II O11r civic life
They were of those that fought at Bannockburn;
Their vital spirit spoke at Mecklenburg;
They rose at Alamance at Bethel led,
And steered at Cardenas straight through blind
ing shells.
They live to-day, and shall forever live,
Lifting mankind toward freedom and toward God.
And he still lives, the courteous and the brave,
Whose life went out in seeming dark defeat.
The tower held not his princely spirit immured;
But in those narrow dungeons walls he trod
Kingdoms unlimited by earthly zones:
Nor holds the grave his peerless soul in thrau
1t passed those dismal portals unafraid
To an inheritance beyond decay
Stored in the love and gratitude of man.
He lives III this fair city, noble State,
Puissant land-in all each hopes to be.
He was the impulse to these later deeds,
He lives in fateful words and splendid dreams,
In strenuous actions and in high careers,
An inspiration unto loftier things.
Upon the scheme of ages man shall find
Success oft failure, failure oft success
When he shall read the record of the years.
Henry Jerome Stockard.

ART OF BUTTER MAKING.
Many Things to be Considered

tons to make country butter" If

a good article, secure the price which

of your butter by putting il in an

wise your reputation as a butter max
err is ruined.
II you have ten or more cows, or
five genuine dairy cows, 1t will pay
you to use a separator. Your cream
will be in better condition and the
milk will be fresh and sweet for feed
ing calves or pigs. Unless you have
an abundance of pure. cool well water
conveniently located for cooling the
milk and keeping the cream and hut
ter, or plenty of ice and a refrigera-
tor, | would advise you not to make
butter in summer time. 1t may be a
hardship for some housewives to give
up the pittance they get for "coun-
try butter" or grease, which 1t Is
often called, but | believe that even
a woman Is entitled to a fair COM
pensation for her labor. The same

to ordinary butter making under IA

give better returns If devoted to the
growing Of calves. pigs and poultry.
and II the returns from the calves,
pigs and poultry would be given to
the farm wife for her very own. as

be still better. If you insist on max.

Triumphs of Modern Suruery.

Wonderful things are done for the
human body by surgery. Organs are
taken out and scraped and polished
and put back, or they may be remov-
ed entirely; bones are spliced; pipes
take the place of diseased sections of
veins; antiseptic dressings are ap-
piled to wounds, bruises, burns and
like injuries before inflammation sets
In, which causes them to heal with
out maturation and in one-third the
time required by the old treatment.
Chamberlain's Pain Balm acts on this
same principle. It is an ~antiseptic
and when applied to such injuries,
causes them to heal very quickly. 1t
also allays the pain and soreness.
Keep a bottle of Pain Balm in your
home and it will save you time and
money, not to mention the inconven.
fence and suffering which such in
juries entail. For sale by all drug
gists and dealers.

When President Roosevelt Went
down to Charlottesville last June to

he was much amused at a remark
made by Judge r. T. w. Duke, the
master of ceremonies. and toastmas-

a brilliant lawyer and reeonteur, and
is a member of the family which has
long been distinguished In the an
nails of Virginia and Kentucky. Sec
retarv Loeb had previously written
the Judge very fully regarding the
tertainment Of the president, giving
directions as to the length of the
stirrup feathers he would use for the
ride to Monticello, the nome OF 'ei
ferson; who would be expected to
ride with the president, and how far
ride. Judge Duke took every oppor.
