returned.
But one night, as she slept, she heard
a voice crying out loudly TO her to
awake.
"Oh, what is it?' cried the fright
ened Princess, leaping off her couch
and running from the cave. But she
could see nothing, except one large bat
that was circling over her head, and
she knew well enough that bats could
not talk.
Listen" said the mysterious voice.
Your father has given his sanction to
plot that has been made TO carry you
off. He promises to give bag of gold
to the Prince who first reaches this
island tonight. A few hours ago a
fleet of boats left his palace and set
sail for here. Each boat contains a
Prince and several trusty men, and
they are now racing, one against the
other, to see who shall arrive first.

But the Princess Darella was so be-
wildered that she could do nothing but
cry.
Il don't like talking to a voice with

1T gives me the creeps."
Il am very sorry" was the reply,
for l am afraid it cannot be altered.
l have not the power TO appear be-

So the Princess glanced up and saw

and it comforted her She felt quite
willing to stay with him, for he had
such a nice voice.

Certainly l can," replied the voice
eagerly. But you must help me, too"

LEGEND OF THE RED ROSE.

One day within garden fair

While DER the happy dream rs face
The whispering zephy-i hover.
Love tir=cd an arrow with kiss
And sent 1t passion lat'en,
With cunning hands thst could not miss,
To wake the sleeping maiden.

With glances sweet and tender;

And smiled upon the giver.

To fly with her bold wooer;

She wrenched the arrow IRON her breast,
Her heart clung to 1t broken;
She laid them at his feet and blessed
Her first and last love token.
A glory shone within her eyes.

And filed her soul with beatty.

GOING HOME.

We said that the days were evil
We felt that they might be few,
FOR low was our fortunes level,
And heavy the winters grew;
But one who had no possession
Looked up to the azure dome,
And said, in his simple fashion,
Dear friends, we are going home!
This world is the same dull market
That wearied its earliest sage;
Ihe times to the wise are dark vet,
But so hath been many an age.
And rich grow the toiling nations,
And red grow the battle spears,
And dreary with desoations
( Roll onward the laden years.
What need of the changeless story
Which time hath so often told,
The spectre that follows glory,
The canker that comes with gold
That wisdom and strength. and honor
Must fade like the far sea foam,
and death is the only winner?-
But, friends, we are going home!
The homes we had hoped to rest in
Were open to sin and strife,
The dreams that our youth was blest in
Were not for the wear of life;
For care can darken the cottage,
As well as the palace hearth,
And birthrights are sold for pottage,
But never redeemed on earth
The springs have gone by in sorrow,
The summers were grieved away,
And ever re feared tomorrow,
Aud ever we blamed to-day.
In depths which the searcher sounded,
On hills which the high heart clomb,
Have troubl,s and toll abounded-
But, friends, we are going home!
Our faith was the bravest buildc~
But found not a stone of trust;
Our love was the fairest glider,
But lavished its wealth on dust
And til hath the fabric shaken,
And fortune the clay hath shown,
For much they have changed and taken,
But nothing tat was our own.
The light that to MS made bascr
The pas which so many choose,
The gifts there was found no place for.
The riches we could not use
The ! cart that when life was wintry
FOu@d summer ~ strain and tome,
With those to our kin and county

Dyspep

Post-mortem statistics of the big
New York hospitals show that
many cases of consumption are
due to the uninterrupted progress
of dyspepsia.
Especially is this true in cases
where the victim was predisposed
to tuberculosis.
Therefore the person who al
lows dyspeptic conditions to pro-
gress unchecked is contributing
toward. the development of the
most fatal disease known to man.

Dyspepsia wears out the body
and the brain-makes the victim
thin, haggard and sallow. The
stomach, unable to digest food,
cannot supply nourishment. When
other diseases come they enter

STACK COVERS.
A Very Great Convenience In Hay

and Grain Harvest.
On this farm stack covers have been
in use about twenty years and in saw
ing grain and hay have paid their cost
many times over. The two now in use
are ten or twelve years old and are
good for few years service yet. If
they were kept for accommodation, to
loan when called for at any time of the
year, they would pc very short lived.
To prevent lending to every one (for

proper care a small fee is charged for
use. In haying or grain stacking time
they often can be made to help in
pushing the work to completion as well
as saving hay and grain, says John N.
Jamisens in National Stockman.
Stacking can often be commenced
and well under way before rain comes
when if one did not have the stack
covers he would fear to begin the work
on account of the unfavorable weather
prospects. With the covers the work
goes on till evening without fear of
loss by rain and without great rush
and late work to finish the stack or
rick begun. With the covers in reach,
every hour in the day fit to use in
stacking can be saved.
Covers can be put to excellent use in
storing green hay in the barn. Late in
the evening the wagons can be load
ed with tough hay that one feels is
most too green to put in the now The
wagons can be driven to the barn and
can safely stand outside with the COW

lease much of the heat and prevent a
