Poor Seed is
Dear at Any Price.

When we began few years ago our search tor
grass and clover seeds that OF better quality than
any had previously handled, we little realized how
great percentage of weed Seeds chah, etc., the COM
mon grades contained. Besides these impurities we
found many seeds that shrunken and of low ger
mnatng power and when put to actual test the results
obtained were disappointing.
From that time our purchases have been made
after careful for purity and quality and this year
our offerings are better than ever
Our Gold Medal" Timothy 1913 per cent pure is
clean, plump bright Seed Our price is Sass per
bushel.
Our Eureka Clover, 90 per cent pure is the
ceanest pumpes; and brightest clover seed we have
ever had. We offer it at ISc per pound-t is the best
value we can find.
Our seeds are ready and we cordially invite .
your inspection.

colossal statue for Athens the amount Of gold need
ed for her hair turned the gen;ds into a CRATER.
Juno, it Is true, was COX eyed" But by the me-
thods of the higher criticism it is easy to that
that was merely primitive simpiifed spelling Of
'tperoxide."
The Frenchman who said that quarter of an
inch variance in the shape OF CIeoptras nose would
have changed the face OF the world sacrificed truth
To epigram. 1t the rarity of fair haired
Egyptian that made Rome's history. And earlier
still there the blonde who more than twice six
centuries later drew from Marowe the prettiest
compliment ever paid to ''the golden girl" when he
wrote ''And all is drOss that is not Helen"
So, too, in Christian times. Save Murillo, none
of the old painters pictured a Madonna with
black hair Few were shown with yellow tresses
But chestnut or auburn, all were blonde, whether
painted beside the canals of Venice or the dkes of
Holland
More modern instances might be multiplied.
The story is always the same. The fairness Of
Ena of Battenberg, gives the young Queen of Spain
her popularity. There of course the explanation is
that fair skin means freedom from Moorish faint
and so the ''sang azur of the wrist veins showing
through. But Rome knew no Moors when light
wigs was the mark of fashion 1000 years ago.
1t was ''the quest of the golden grip then as
now that busted the majority of men. If it were
not so now, the chemists would have a different
story to tell of their sales of dyes The dark world
of 600 wears hence has our sympathy.

poor consumptive who, having vainly sought the eli
mate of Arizona California in the hope OF prolong
ing life turns his face homeward when all hope is al
an end. "Going home to die' is one of the saddest
sights of life.
Collateral to this instinct and akin to it in origin
is the desire which city OF country birth exper
ience for rural life they grow older. This yearn-
ing for the country is, indeed, not confined to the
country bred. Nearly all men experience it and
this is the result of atavism-inherted love for the
soil persistng through many generations Of city
dwellers. AS man grows old he desires to get back
to nature.
To that in these things, as in many others, we
are really not free agents. but the creatures of here
dty, governed literally by instincts and tendencies
live in US and 1t is picturesque thought. 1t pro-
misses Immortality that we can all understand and
appreciate

The Dirge

hear the thrum Of the thxssshing drum
AS 1t times the sobbing tune
Was he sad or glad of the life he had?
Was the hand of death a boon?
God knows.
And the music nears, with its tone OF tears
And it's mnfled chords of woe
Was he low or high in his fellows eye?
Was he man of friend or foee
God knows.
So hear them pass, with the moaning brass
Aud the wailing of the reeds
OF his Joy and pain could he count gainf
Had he profit of his deedsi
God knows.
Now slowly on, and the chords are drawn
To an echOiDs refrain
Was he false or true to the friends he knewf
Did he live or die in vainF
God knows.
And the notes they play seem to fade away
To the shadow of a sound
Is he quiet with life9 Has he done with strifef
Was he oUt-or homeward-bonndf
God knows.
ttGod kno ws: God knows!" So the trumet blows
SIN the slow song of the dirge,
And the meaning strain beats across my brain
And the words and music merge
''Ged knows"
