Facts Worth Knowing /.

for some time for causes unknown to
us until we had to keep her out OF
school. We finally took her to our
physician who recommended nerve
treatment of the eyes. So we took
her to DR.. W. F. Larsway and had
glasses fitted. Soon after she had one
slight attack and now we consider her
perfectly we'll.

MY DEAD.

Like two pure lies without leaf

They said. 'Tis over, this is but

Gazing stone-eyed upon the sheeted

Far OF there rolled and flashed n

Black as my sorrow. tearless-strange
as that.
And so | watched until the east
grew warm.

flowing hair.
Spoke words of comfort, but |
heard them not.

pair,

At first it semed a dream-but now
SO real!
The days will come and go
but she is dead.
The fow'rs will nod and whisper
DER her head,
The birds will sing, the happy sea
sons wheel,
But she'll not stir within her mar
row bed.

creedsi

Queens Taller Than Kings.

There Is hardly a king in Christen-
dom today whose wife does not evcr-
top him by u head.
King Edward is quite six inches
shorter than Queen Alexandra.
The Gar is overtopped II full head
by the Czarina.
Kaiser Wilhelm is OF the medium
height. but the German Empress is
tall. and that is why the proud kaiser
will never consent TO be photograph
cd beside his wife. unless she sits
while he stands.
The King OF Portugal. though fatter
hardly comes up to the shoulders of
the tall, athletic Queen Helena.
The Kin of Portugal, though fatter,
is less tall than his queen.
Even the Prince Of Wales is short
or a good our inches than the prin-
cess.
The young King of Spain Is sew
eral inches shorter than his new
bride.
The Queen of Denmark towers
above her royal spouse.

This fact may stir TO reflection
some of those persons who are fond

they would. OF curse, continue in

to say ii is not likely to do this; the
question is. if it should do so would
its then heir and owner be entitled
To his monopoly of the nations

rise mp and deprive him of the accu-
INFLATED gains of his own. and of the
toll of his ancestors, would they not
be guilty of cOnfiscation-a crime
much r~eprehendcd these days by our
most conservative business men?
Yet il is obvious hat should the

II is only a question of II generation
or 50 before some John ID. Rockefel-
Ter, or other is going to own more

American what will be done then, he
replies without hesitation hat some
means will be found of dcpriying one

why would they not he right 20 treat

of the Terminal Railroad of St Louis
recently had an unfortunate expert
ence in removing a rail from one of
the elevated tracks of that company.
The rails had been creeping and
were under heavy stress. One of them
had buckled sidewise. and as the
spikes were withdrawn it suddenly
flew out of place. breaking the limbs
of three of the workmen. one of whom
had both legs broken just above the
ankles. Still two other members of
the crew were injured so seriously
that they had to be taken to a hos

Deal in Ghastly Curios.

Two medical students living in San
Francisco, called on the president of
tanning company of West Berkeley
Cal, recently and asked him to pre-.
pare some human skin for commercial
purposes. With them they had two
pieces of cuticle. one about a foot
square and the other trife smaller
which they admitted they had stripped
from body in dissecting room.
They said they intended making slip
pers of the skin. The commission was
declined. Other tanners have also
been approached by embryo physi-
clans engaged in the ghoulsh traffic.
1t is alleged that articles made from
the skin of men and women have been
carried from California to all parts
of the Union. When tanned the skin
of man is worth about $500. The
skin is soft and pliable, resembling in
many respects the chamois.

Trees on Unprepared Land,

| think just as good results can be
secured on unprepared land as in any
ground, providing the trees are prop
erly set out and the grass and sod
kept away from around the roots and
the tree. The ground about the tree
must be properly hoed or cultivated
during the following summer or a
heavy mulch placed around it. The
proper way, and in fact the only way.
for such ground is to use a tamping
bar to firm the soil around the roots
when setting the tree. The dirt can
not be tramped firm enough with the
feet. OF course care must be used
to have plenty Of fine dirt around the
roots, so that the tamping bar does
not bruise or skin them. In setting
tree, especially in the spring. too
much care cannot be used to get the
soil firm around the roots. 1t should
be as solid as a gate post, with the
soil loose at the top of the ground
