tier, and so bordering on Arkansas anu en-
joying to Its fullnesS the wonderful cliilat"
Of the Sunny Side" OF the O2arks, where the
temperature rarely touches zero IN winter and the
nights in summer are always cool enough to make
sleep delight. ..
The county contains 600 square miles, ii9,0py
acres, Of which about 6i,OOO acres arc under I'M
prcyement The soil varies from the rich a!luyai
bottoms TO the strong limestone soils OF the rug
es. producing successfully wheat, on which the
county was awarded the silver medal at the Lou
isiana Purchase exposition, corn second TO none,
stalk grown this season on display IN this oillce
measuring IL feot IN lengthl potatoes, cotton,
melons, tame grasses, berries, fruits vegetables,
in fact every thing except tropical products, Pears
and peaches do especially well.
The surface is rugged and picturesque covered
with forests aud trayersed by streams OF spark
ling clearness, among them the beautiful White
river, famed for its scenery and It's hnny tribes,
including the gamey black bass and jack salmon,
while the wooded eSpanses abound In small game
OF various kinds. including foX raccoon, opossom,
squirrel, quail and turkey, afordng abundant
recreation with rod and gun.
The population OF the county by the last census
was U,l27, only two Cf whom were colored and
all but W American born. The county tax Is but
o. cents on the sl0O, and there Is practically no

MANY time cheerful home and
happy face does more to MAKE good men
and women than all the learning and
eloquence that can be used. 1t has been
said that the sweetest words in our
language are Mother Home and Heav-
en-, and one might almost say the word
home includes them all, for who can
think of homo without remembering
the gentle mother who sanctiiied it by
her presence? And is not home the
dearest name in heaven? We think Of
the better land as a home where bright.
ness will never end in night. Oh, then,
may our homes on earth be the centers
OF all our joys; may they be as green
spots in the desert to which we can re.
tire when weary Of the cares and per-
pleXities Of life aud drink the clear
waters of love, which we know to be sim
cere and always unfailing.

FORSYTH, MISSOURI THURSDAY, JANUARY is, 1906
Through the Winter Woods.

To love and understand Nature one
need not necessarily be poet or a
naturalist. A poet could not find his
"violet banks and mirrored pools" in
the winter woods, nor could the spec
tacled naturalist so easily and readily
study his favorite subjects.
The January woodland has beauty
all its own. The energetic tick is now
forgotten torture; the snakes are
gone. Going out for the black SOW
that had not been up with her family
for some days, let me tell you only a
few of the wonderful things saw:
A beautiful fox squirrel slipped
round and round a gigantic black oak
to watch me. Around and over the
roots Of this same tree was moss.
STOPPING and looking close, it became
u fairy flower-gardeu; for without a
microscope one could see the minute
yellow moss blossoms. Farther up on
thlSsame tree the moss grew close and
OF darker green, and like velvet turf.
Did you know that moss grew only on
the north side of the trees? or so goes
an old Indian saying.
Down in the hollow, too steep for Il
valley and not steep enough for n
canon, | trudged along by silent
branch, the thin frozen crust of earth
breaking through at each step, dis
closing the delicate frost-piers ,ha,
had elevated and supported this earth.
en- bridge. The edges OF the brook
water had become ice, extending ou,
over the stream in beautiful, lacey de
signs; here and there tiny drift of
leaves and sticks was covered with del
icate frozen spray.
There are no violets or buttercups,
but the dead sunflowcr and hOrse.mnt
stalks are sturdily and ruggedly bcau-
tiful, the full seed heads holding many
meal for the birds. How many dear
little twitterers and warblers are left
in the sunless woods, now that the
more musical birds have flown and no
longer overshadow them. How plainly
all the little nests now show, so often
nearly against the paths where we
passed them all summer, not seeing
them in the thick green.
The foundation of our home hills IL
here revealed in shelving gray rock,
wonderfully gemmed with spark ing
quartz crystals. Here an opening into
the mountains heart leads to the home
OF Sir Reynard or Mr.. o. Possum, for,
o dear, here lies a Plymouth Rock
chicken feather, telltale evidence Of
some midnight murder
Long burrows through the frozen
leaves and grass give sign of the los,
piggy; here she has come upon an un-
expected store of nuts and acorns, and
she and her industrious children have
been too busy and too plentifully fed to
come SO far home for nubbins. A loud
and longing "Pig-oo-ee," brings forth
an answering "Woowoo." and from
behind fallen tree where | now per-
ceive miniature hsy-stack of leaves
and dry grass, the wanderers rush out
to gaze at me in reproach for my doubts
and suspicious that they cannot take
care OF themselves. M. T.. NJ.

THAT is not home, where day by day

That Is not home, where lonely night
Prepares me for the tolls Of light;
'Tis hope, and Joy, and memory, give
A home In which the heart can live.
1t is pIoSence underlined.

Where love and duty sweetly blend

WILL PREVENT MUCH FRAUD.
A Bill Providing Uniform Rules for
Naturalization Passes One Branch
of Congress.

Washington, d. C.-By clever tao
tics Mr.. Bonynge (Col.), in charge of
the naturalization bill and with the
assistance of friendly speaker, had.
the bill establishing bureau of i'm
migration and naturalization and pro-
viding for uniform rule for the nat
uralization Of aliens throughout the
United States read in the time set
apart for the passage of bills under
suspension of the rules in the house
Tuesday.
The bill provides for a bureau of
naturalization at Washington which
shall furnish all blanks for use and
keep a record of all naturaiizations.
1t requires an applicant to file peti-
tion for naturalization 80 days before
1t is acted upon by court. 1t prohib-
Its any naturalization 80 days before
any general election. 1t authorizes
the United States district attorney to
appear and cross-examine applicants
and witnesses. 1t adds the additional
qualifications that applicants must be
able to speak English before receiv-
ing final papers and they must swear
that they intend to reside permanently
in the United States.

THE BIGGEST EVER.
Naval Appropriation Bill Passed by
the Senate Authorizes Building
of a Monster WarShip.

Washington, ID. C.-The senate on
Tuesday passed the naval appropria-
tion bill. There was no discussion Of
the bill until the provision for new
monster warship was reached. Re-
plying to Senator Kean, Senator Hale
said that the provision was different
from most legislation for new ships in
that 1t makes no limitations in any re-
spect. He said the provision was
loosely drawn and 1t would take six
months to make the plans for the ves-
sci. He also said that the final cost of
the vessel. armor and armament in
cluded, would be about $11,000,000, or
twice as much as the Oregon had cost.
He moved an amendment, which was
accepted, requiring the secretary of
the navy to report to congress giving
the dimensions, displacement, ETC., of
the vessel before issuing proposals for
its construction.
Discussing the amendment Senator
Bacon expressed apprehension that
this would be only one vessel of many
of the same dimensions to be made.
Such a consequence would be appall-
ing, he said, and predicted that the
next advance would be to s15,000,00
ship.
