IN A ROSE GARDEN.

A hundred years from now, Dear heart
We will not care at all.
1t will not matter then whit,
The honey or the gall.
The summer days that we have known
VIM all forgotten be and flown;
The garden will be overgrown
Where now the roses fall.
A hundred Yeas IRON now, dear heat,
Wen neither know nor care
What came OF all LIES bitterness
Or followed loves despair
.Aen fill the glasses up again,
And kiss me through the rose-ledt
rain;
Well build one castle more In Spain,
And dream one more dream there.

For Reauty's Sake.

Stay pretty as long as you can. The
immediate cause of wrinkles is the
shrinking of the underlying adipose
tissue. Were the face solid and ex-
PRESTON Jess, hollows alone would
mark the loss of fat. The muscles
which are overworzed lose their
elasticity and become weak and
flabby, then comes the change In the
outline of the face As time passes
the facial circulation grows worse AMI
worse, unless artificially stimulated.
1t is then in line to state that any
means which will cause the blood to
flow in sufficient quantities to these
parts wal vitalize them. Massage
will do this effectually, and the
Migratory massage is recommended.
This massage is a positive cure for
muddy compilations, witnered and
wrinkled necks, fabby tissues, su-ken
faces, sallow compilations ana stiff
necks

Value of sllaae for Cows.

Perhaps there is more benefit de,
rived from silage by feeding it to-
milk COWS than by feeding it to any
other kind of stock. At any rate, 1t
is used more and thought more of by
dairymen than by any other class OF
farmers, says c. P. Goodrich in the
Mirror and Farmer. You all know
that green, succulent grass or other
forage plants stimulate the production
of milk more than the same forage
would if fed to COWS after being dried.
It is the same way with silage, for
silage contains all the natural Juices
of the plant, and it stimulates the pro
duction of milk just the same as
though the plants were cut fresh and
green in the field and fed the cows.
Cows should never be fed exclusive
ly on silage. They need some dry
forage to go with it to make a we'll
balanced ration. Besides this, silage
is a carbonaceous food and needs
some more heterogeneous food to go with
it to make a we'll balanced ration
About 30, or at most 40, POUNDS a
day of silage is as much as should be
fed from the top of the silo, taking
off about two inches in depth from
the entire surface each day, for, if it
is long exposed to the air, it viii be
damaged. If the feeding commences
imme lately after filling the silo-
and this is a good way to do-there
viii he no damaged silage at all.
Care should be taken each time OF
feeding to leave the surface smooth
and even, and not pick and stir it up
with the fork, for that win let in the
air and cause damage.
My way is to feed the silage ration
in two feeds. Doun night anu morning,
and it is better to feed after milking
because o.le peculiar odoT of the silage
might affect the flavor OF the milk.
Cows, as well as other stock, have a
wonderful liking for silage, and / De.
lieve much Of the success in feeding it
can be attributed to its palatability.
They even prefer it, to a certain ex-
tent at least. to fresh curt forage or

seen COWS in June when on good
pasture, which had been fed silage
every day, come to the gate at 4
O'Clock in the afternoon and below
and ask TO come TO the barn and get

and with apparently great relish.
have seen the experiment tried or
Jffering COWS at the same time corn
cut fresh from the field and silage that
was put up the ye IT before. Every
COW chose the silage and ate that first.
II is true these COWS had been fed
silage every day all summer, and 1t
may be the habit Of eating silage had
something to do with their preferring
it. but surely would not have done 1t
if silage had not been pretty good
feed.
There is no better and cheaper feed
to supplement short pastures. which
we are almost sure to have every sum-
mer on account of drouth or other
causes. than good silage. / know

DIR. ncAFEE's FUTURE PLANS
Has Been Rendered Chair In Faculty
 of Occidental College.

A rumor was current yesterday that Rev. Dr. Lapsley A. McAfee, had ten dered his resignation as pastor of the First Presbyterian church of this city. Inquiry of the church officials last night resulted in the announcement that no resignation had been received, though it was admitted that such ac- ton on the part of the pastor would not come as a surprise, for it is known that pr. NcAfee has received many calls to other fields of endeavOr, some of them very flattering. In most in stances he has not given them serious consideration but in recent months things have been shaping in a way sug- gesting that duty may lead him to a wider and more influential use of his talents.
 Recently Dr. McAfee was offered the chair of bible study in Occidental col lege in Los Angeles. This is an import ant position in one of the most pTOmis- ing schools on the coast, and the only one under Presbyterian conduct. It is known that Dr. McAfee has been strongly urged to accept this post and it is understood that he has been giving the matter serious and thoughtful con- sideration. There is no reason why he should leave the Phoenix church except that ne may De or greater use fulness but when that opportunity of fers and with it are many things to his liking it demands thoughtful attention. Dr. McAfee is of a family of educators. Park College, Mo-, one of the best known Presbyterian schools in the country, was founded by his father. Three brothers are now connected with the institution and for many years he was an instructor there himself. Other re Iatives are also connected with that and other schools, so that the school room is his favorite haunt and to preach, his conviction, hence a religious school is where he most contentedly abides.
 But though the information does not come from Dr. NcAfee it is surmised that a professOrship in the college Is not the limit of the work provided for him by Providence. The Los Angeles papers announced a few days ago that President WadswOrth of Occidental college had been rendered similar and perhaps even greater responsibilities and opportunities in college work in the east and in that connection, it is known among those well posted in Presbyterian affairs, that the name of Dr. McAfee has been mentioned as his possible successor, should President WadswOrth resign.

The performance was per feet in every detail and showed plainly the skill in direction, which is notice able in each production. The special ties were full of snap and go and re- ceived much applause.

Should pr. McAfee become the pres ident of that college, or even an hum ble member of it's faculty it will put him in the harness in the development of what promises to be in the near future a very large and a very inn pOrtant institution of learning. The college has already been literally en- dowed and further endowment cOndi- toned upon the raising of a certain amount from other sources has par tially been provided for. the whole fund to approximate $2OO,OOO. This with the present large attendance, rapid growth and popularity of the school, establishes it's future on a permanent basis.
 Should Dr. McAfee decide to leave this charge there will be sincere re- gret, not only among the members of his flock unanimously, but by the citizenship in general, for no cit iZen stands higher in the community or is more universally esteemed. He is aggressive as all men have to be to accomplish anything and there ere times when his opinions differ from some of his fellow men in matters of public policy, but he is a man of the deepest and most honorable convic- tions and is straightforward and man. ly in their utteTance. He has presid- ed over the Phoenix church for seven years and is therefore in point of ser vice here, the oldest pastor in PhOe- nix. During his pastorate the mem bership of the church has been dou- bled and its prosperity has been mark ed, both religiOUsly and materially.
 It was learned last night that he has been called to the church in Berkeley to preach today and one week from today but it is understood that what ever his future plans he will return to Phoenix again about September 1st.

WoMAN's SIGH FOR A POCKET.

How dear to the heart is the Old-fash-
 toned dresses. When fond recollection presents them
 to view. In fancy I see the old wardrobe and
 presses. Which held the loved gowns which in
 girlhood l knew. The wide-spreading mOhair, the silk
 that hung by it, The straw colored satins with trim
 mings of brown; The ruffled fouIard, the pink Organdie
 nigh it; But oh. for the pocket that hung in
 each gown. The oId-fashioned pocket, the obsolete
 pocket, The praiseworthy pocket that hung in
 each gown. The dear roomy pocket I'd hail as a Could I but behold it in gowns of
 today; Id find it a source of an exquisite
 pleasure But all my modistes sternIy answer
 me Nay" Twould be so convenient when going
 out shopping, 'TwOuld hold my small purchases com
 ing from town; And always my purse or my 'kerchief I'm dropping Oh, me. for the pocket that hung in
 my gown! The oId-fashioned pocket. the obsolete
 pocket, The praiseworthy pocket that hung in
 my gown. A gown with a pocket! How fondly
 I'd guard it! Each day, ere I'd don it, I'd brush it
 with care; Not a full Paris costume would make
 me discard it, Though trimmed with the laces an em-
 press might wear. But I have no hope; for the fashion is
 banished; The tear of regret will my fond vis-
 ions drown. As fancy reverts to the days that
 have vanished, I sigh for the pocket that hung in my
 gown! The oId-fashioned pocket, the obsolete
 pocket, The praiseworthy pocket that hung in
 my gown. Carolyn Wells, in Christian En- deavOr World.
