The Power of Love

Quite recently. at Waterford, a
pretty and fascinating young lady, who
was very popular in the town, fell i'll
anu died. Her death occasioned gen
eral regret. She had many friends,
and a large number followed her re-
mains to the cemetery. The last rites
were said and all returned to their
homes, saddened at the loss Of one
who had been so dear to them.
An extraordinary sequel occurred.
A peasant farmer, living in the vicln-
ity of the cemetery, rose early next
morning to go to his work. Happen
ing to look over the wall of the ceme-
terry, he was astonished to see man
on his knees beside the newly filled in
grave. The peasant watched and saw
him feverishly scraping away the
earth with his hands, not looking
aside for one moment.
The onlooler remained with his
eyes fixed on the strange sight. To
lis amazement the mysterious visitor
continued his grewsome task with I'M
abated vigor, until presently the coffin
was laid bare. Then, with the aid of
an iron implement, the man forcibly
wrenched off the lid.

The Norsemen. who were so fond Of

and these did not meet with frequent

existence.-Navy League journal.

The Brook in

In the summer time is the season
when the true value of the pasture

are brooks that are help to the pas

end there are others that are a con-
slant menace to the health of the
stock. There are streams that come
from long distances and run past
hundreds of farms, and there are
others that gush out of the hillside
fresh and cool. But at this time of
year the color OF the water will indi-
cate much as to the value of the
stream. II is desired to have water

Given a Jammy Sentence

Capt. Krech of the Hamburg Ameri-

was called upon during the trip to
pass sentence upon a thief caught
stealing aboard the vessel. His man.

judgment were commended by all the
passengers.
Several Storage passengers on the
earlier days of the trip frequently
missed food and sweetmeats which
they had taken aboard, and nothing
was known of the culprit until one
day a woman, going to her bunk,
found a little, flaxen-haired girl busily
engaged in emptying a pot of jam
which had been concealed there. The
little one had the jam plastered all
over her face and hands, and in that
condition the woman who discovered
her led her to the chief steward. He
in turn took her before the captain
on the bridge.
Many of the passengers, seeing the
little girl being dragged before the
captain, gathered about to learn the
cause of the trouble Capt. Krech,

BY careful calculation the cost Of
malarial fever in Texas alone is esti-
mated by DR.. Woldert to be at least
100000 year and probably nearer
$4,000. One person in twelve in some
places is down with the disease.
What a good business plan 1t would
be to save three-fourths or nine-tenths
of this wasted money by preventing
the disease. No physician doubts the
possibility; the methods of proven
ton are we'll known and are easily car
ried out.
The public, however--at least It's
awmakers-cannotb be brought to real
ize the wisdom of such economy.
Money can be found for "junketing
tours" public buildings of a political
character, and hundred less neces-
sary measures, but nothing. or next to
nothing, for stopping the greatest loss
to the community--that from disease.
For every dollar spent to pay public
health officers and the expense of
preventive medicine there can be 500
saved.

Future Sheep Supply.

The feeders of sheep are concerned
an the supply of that animal, especial
Iy those that are engaged in the feed
ing ef sheep for the final market. At
the present time the great source of
supply is the western range. But can
that continue to supply the demand for
sheep TO feed in our feed lots in Che
corr belt? The answer must be a
negative one. The ranges are now
producing all the sheep they e likely
10 produce, but the corn belt is not
producing all the corn It is able to
produce. The improvements in corn
culture and in corn seed enormously
increase the volume of this. kind of
food that can be produced yearly and
we shah see greater improvements in
the years to come. This corn must be
for long time yet used as the finish
ing food for stock including the sheep.
More sheep will be demanded in the
future both by the consumers and by
the sEnishers. II is evident that we
must raise more sheep on the farms
east of the Great Father of Waters.
