We're wading mud beneath the

ingly serious time with the humps.

spent Sunday with her mother and
brother, Doc, east Of Hamlin.
Many of the farmers are RETAINING

The sweetest music that 1 have
heard for a long, long while was the

last Tuesday.
Miss Dorcas Aten of North Branch

earth here 1 have never seen any one
thing bring such an ample supply of
happiness as did the recent rain.
Mr.. Richards of Audubon was
seen mudding his way home from
the south part of the county where
he went to do some tombstone work.
Were we to do naught but that
which gives old age food for pleasant
reflection how calm and restful
would be the sunset of our lives
But ali how different it is! Re-
morse, shame, regret and contrition
are trailing the greater per cent of
the human race ere they reach the
meridian of life, like 80 many hounds
on the trail of a frightened hare.
Their painting is heard like a mad
hungry beast
Pursuing its prey through the
night;
As nearer they come our fright is
increased
Till, childlike, we cry out for
light.

prominedt citizen and an old settler
OF Appanoose county. cured of Granu-
lated Lids and Lid Deformity
Ratnbun, Iowa, April %, 1902.
hereby wish to inform my friends
and those afflicted with eye troubles
that 1 have had granulated lids for
years which gave me considerable
trouble. / also had severe deforming
of the eye lid so that it dropped onto
the cheek. [ was treated by occulists
in Des Moines and was also treated at.
an eye hospital near here where they
advertised that they never used caus-
tics or strong drugs in the eyes for
granulated lids. Well, maybe they
thought the medicine was not strong,
but know they applied cocain be-
fore using it to prevent pain, but still
my eyes would burn for hours after
wards like fire. I almost gave up in
despair of ever being cured when 1
read in the Centervjlle papers about
DR.. Weber coming to the Continental
hotel once month and decided to go
to him. I was surprised when he said
he could cure the graduated lids in
short time by mild and painless medi-
cine which he did in short time.
did not feel the slightest pain in using
his treatment, but instead it was
soothing to the eyes. He also operated
and corrected the deformity of the
lid and put it in its natural position.
1 am thankful to say that my eyes are
perfectly we'll.
Respectfully yours,

In feeding breeding ewes the chief
consideration should be securing the
best ration for the growth and devel-
opment Of the lambs, and at the same
time have the ewes in the best condi-
ton at lambing time. Cottonseed
cake should be fed only in very small
quantities. A good ration consists Of
a pound of shell corn and linseed meal
mixed in the proportion of three parts
corn to one of linseed meal, together
with little alfalfa along with the
buffalo grass. A little wheat bran
near lambing time is good and tends
to increase the milk supply.

HIGHEST IN THE WORLD CRY OF THE UNEMPLOYED
1t Is Again Heard in Streets Of

London, April 23.-The "Cry OF the
UnempIoyed' was raised in London
again last night when several thous-
and skilled workmen, who had been
discharged from Woolwich Arsenal as
an outcome of War Secretary Hal
danes scheme of reducing military
expenses, marched with bands and
banners the long distance from Wool
wich to the house of commons to i'm
press their grievances upon the gov
eminent. The complaints of the men
are far-reaching, representing not on
" loss of employment, but the wiping
out of their savings invested in little
properties located in the historical
and heretofore prosperous town OF
Woolwich.
