JESUS KNOWS.

BY MISS RENA FURRY. TO A FRIEND
IN DEEP AFFL1CTlON.
Jesus knows thy bitter sorrow
And thy hearts deep grief.
Jesus feels with thee thy anguish.
He can give relief.
Jesus knows it all, oh tried one,
All thy darkest woe,
All thy heart-aches, all thy troubles,
In this life below.
Jesus knows thy inmost feelings,
To thy friends unknown.
Yes, He shares thy sorrow with thee,
Thou art not alone.
Trust it all to Him, He loves thee
More than husband, mother, friend,
And His heart is bleeding for thee
To be faithful to the end.
Thou art in the fiery furnace,
Thou hast been there oft before;
Seven times it may be heated.
God must try thee more and more.
God has hOnOred thee by trial,
Thou art not refuse,
But broken, empty vessel
Being fitted for His use.
He is molding thee and shaping
For life with Him;
And each trial YOU enduring
Makes more beautiful within.
He has found you worth his labor,
To refine with heavenly fire,
And to bring you closer TO Him
Is His loves desire.
So when all the fiends Of darkness
And of earth against thee plot,
Stop and think how Jesus loves thee,
He'll forsake thee not.
When the hour of pain is darkest,
Bring to Him thy broken heart,
Jesus loves thee as none other,
He will bid thee not depart.
| Oh be SteadfaSt, never fainting,
For this strife will not be long,
Let these few short years you journey
End in victorious song.

THE HOME CIRCLE.
INDIAN SUMMER.
[BY JOHN WARD sTIMsON, REDDINe
CENTER.
Now the hazy woodland glows
With the years rich full repose;
And the softly signing breeze
Strips the color from the trees.
And the leaves fly off in tlOcks,
With the swallows and the rocks.
Crisp the dry corn crackles now,
Topping foreward in each row;
Every veteran in the breeze,
Tottering on his aged knees,
Breaking ranks to form in groups
Like some homeward staggering troup.
See the leaders, lank and tall,
Clasping arms lest they should fall:
Still their yellow pennons flying:
At their feet the pumpkins lying
Like some CORY bombs of battle
Within which the seed balls rattle
Overhead the sky in tatters,
Streams and eddies, closes, scatters;
Opening riffs of heavenly vision,
Through each drift or cloud incision
Till the mind is lost in mazes,
And the flux of color dazes.
See the bent form of the plowman!
Hear the milk call of the cowman!
One the winter seed is sowing;
For the other, COWS are lowing,
And the milk pals lightly tinkle,
And the few, far SnOwflakes sprinkle
With them come the snowbirds calling
And the ripened chestnuts falling;
And the apples turn to cider;
And the landscape opens wider,
With the leaves and fruit departing
And the loaded wagons starting.
Sweet within the savory kitchen
Children sit with fingers twitchin',
AS each hungry little belly
Aches for apple sauce and jelly,
Or the sugary marmelade
Susan Jane and ma have made.
Now the bonfire crackles gaily,
And we draw up closer daily;
Till the West wind. softly signing,
Whispers low, "The year is DYING"
Now Old Time no more may reap;
So we drop with Him asleep.

Short Names and Fame

Although great majority Of the men
in this country have three names an
unusual proportion of those who attain
eminence in public life have only two.
Take the recent cabinet changes az
an illustration: Paul Morton resigned.
John Hay died and Elihu Root is to re-
turn to the cabinet. No middle name in
any of these cases. OF twenty-five men
who have held the office of president
only seven have had more than two
names. OF the twenty-six vice-presi-
dents thirteen have had two names
and thirteen have had three. The
United States supreme court has had
eight chief justices, four with two
names. four with three. OF thirty-eight
secretaries of state, including Mr.. Root,
twenty-one have had but two names.

TX MARVEL IN OLD AGE
Author of "ReverIes of Bachelor
at His Edgewood Home

From the New York Tribune.
| About mile from the western edge
of New Haven, on a hillside which
commands an extensive view of the city
and Long Island sound, visitors are
regularly shown Edgewood, the home
of Donald G. Mitchell, the TX
Marvel of those much loved books of
half century ago. 'Reveries of
Bachelor" and Dream Life" Though
of a previous generation, and the friend
in his day of literary men like Wash
ington Irving, Mr.. Mitchell is still on
nearly every spring day to be seen at
his home, hale and hearty even under
the burden of his SO years. He rarely,
If ever, nowadays is able to see visitors
or even his oldest friends, but to catch
glimpse Of him walking about his
grounds is no unusual thing for New
Haven people. A drive past Edge
wood or a ramble over the extensive
estate which Mr.. Mitchell has laid out
on the hill where his house stands is
one of the things to which New Haven
residents nearly always treat their
friends, and always with the hope that
TX Marvel may be seen.
TX Marvel's place is at the head of
country road that starts from the close
ly built up and modern Edgewood
Park and runs from the city into the
low, gardened Westville fats. A troll
ley car goes out over this low land and
drops it's passengers for TX Marvers

Here TX Marvel has been living for ex-
actly fifty years, surrounded by his
books and within touch OF the varied
culture of Yale, from which he was
graduated in 1S41.

AS with fine arts of needle and loom
in Italy, France, Spain and Flanders,
SO traditions of picture tapestry crea-
tion have heen cherished for long CEN
turies in the families of what before
republicanism took such firm hold In
Norway had been Norways haute
noblesse; so to the ladies of Norway s
highest aristocracy this present renais-
sance appealed as a work peculiarly
their own. The strong guiding spirit
to this attainment is Nine. Frida Han
sen, a brilliantly gifted lady of great
wealth and eminent position. The con-
trolling thought of the work from its
very initiation has been is development

plicity, than which, it was Immediately
recognized, nothing could be more ef-
fective.

very urgently for reproduction of the

treasures of the Viking ship, Nine.
Hansen gathered about her score of
other gifted ladies', and in long, sea-

tie space was left above their upright
looms, they went to work. The prepar-
atory study was most exacting-the

represented the precise, original tones
of the wool time had meilowed; the

so thoroughly knew and so deeply ad-

says: 1.-THE weaver's treatment Of the

! English capital. But he lost his heart
to the modest, retiring girl who waited
upon him when he wanted cigar. He
found that she, too, was native of
Denmark, and this added to the ro-
nance of the courtship. They were
married soon, and Hanson took his
bride to Eureka, where he continued
his quest for wealth. The clouds were
lifting then, and they have vanished
now.
Hanson says he intends to travel. He
will take his bride to Europe, but he
will not click glasses with the king or
other bloods in dear old London at
banquet which will cost him $4,000. He
may see the king, of course, for Han
son has high regard for Great Britain's
ruler. That he is well thought of by
the king is indicated by the fact that
when Queen Victoria died and Edward
became king he did not forget the man
who banqueted him. Hanson received
a souvenir of the coronation which he
prizes highly.
The trip which Hansen will take will
include the old home in Denmark where
he was born, also the early home of his
bride of year. Hanson's aged mother
lives in the old home, and it is his in
tention to provide many luxuries for
her declining years.
The property which Hanson is devel-
oping and which hase become of great
value because of the ore bodies already
disclosed, probably will be one of the
greatest mines in the San Juan when
development is completed. When Han
son returned from England he had
barely enough left from the fortune he
had squandered to provide the GRUB
stake" so essential on every prospect
ing trip, and the small quantity of fuse
and powder needed to get some depth
on a vein giving good surface indica-
tions.
For several years all the work done
on the Mastodon was performed by
led the simple life and the lonely one
as well. The winters in the San Juan
district are severe and many of the
mining properties close down when
snow storms become frequent. The
mountains are steep and the trails few
and not easily followed when weather
conditions are bad. Snowslides are
frequent throughout the winter, and
the masses of snow included in each
slide, weighing thousands of tons, often
carrying mine buildings away. crushing
them like eggshells.

to replenish his larder or his stock of
