rolling and oftentimes by reseeding.
September is the best month for sowing
blue grass but it may often be sowed at
other times before a rain, using seed
freely. 1t is not economy to be too
sparing of seed. nor to be content with
trees that are not of the best At the
meeting of the Civic club last night it
was decided to set apart next Tuesday
afternoon as North Topeka Arbor day,
and to ask all business houses to close
and help in a general clearing up and
tree planting. A reduced price has been
secured for trees and all persons want
ing them should apply to D. ]. Hatha-
way that arrangements may be made
to engage all that may be wanted.
North Topeka is coming out in new
Easter dress.
Through the efforts of Miss Juliet
Smith of New York city who has been
spending the past winter in North To-
peka in the interest of the Church of
the Good Shepherd, the church is to
have parish house. Miss Smith has
raised the necessary funds for this
building and suitable house has been
found which has been purchased and
will be at once moved to the church lot.
The house decided upon is a six room
place now situated at ITO North Taylor
street The work of moving will COM
mence this week. When in place on the
will have a frontage on Laurent street
with a lawn of thirty feet between the
house and the church.. The arrange
ment of this house is well adopted for
parish house. The large front room
will be fitted up as a meeting place for
the church guild. the sewing school and
other clubs which may be organized in
connection with the church BaZaars
and social entertainments can also be
held in this place. Mr.. c. ". Nau who
has charge of the work at the Church
of the Good Shepherd will have his liv-
ing rooms in the second story. As soon
as the house is ready for occupancy.
which it is thought will be early this
spring Mr. Nau will move from his
present home in Vail hall to the Good
Shepherd parish house. Extensive, i'm
provements will also be made to the
church yard such as planting trees and
sowing grass seed and putting up a
fence across the alley. This parish
house will not only add to the value of
the Church of the Good Shepherd but
will be a great addition to that section
of North Topeka. Since coming to North
Topeka Miss Smith has not only taught
two very interesting Bible classes, one
on Sunday morning and one on We'd
nesday afternoon but she has also or
garized a sewing class which now num-
bers twenty little girls. This class
meets every Saturday morning in the
vestry of the church. Miss Smith ex-
poets to leave for New York the first
week in April but she will return to
North Topeka next fall for another
winters work.

DANCE TO BUY URNS.
Cremation Club Gets Enough Money
to Incinerate Several Members.

Waterbury, Conn, March 21.-The
Waterbury branch, No. 80, of the
Cremation Association OF America
has given a dance to provide for a
sinking fund. At the conclusion OF
the festivities it was announced en-
thusia stically by the president that
enough cash had been taken in at the
door to transform half a dozen MEM
bers into ashes and buy them fancy
urns besides. The announcement was
received with cheers. The association
will keep on dancing until the future
welfare of ali the members has been
provided for.
The dance hall walls bore the
cheerful motto, r'Our Bones Shall
Never Molder Under Ground" which
in itself was enough to explain the
bright smile on every tAce and the
flower present. In fact, everybody
had such good time that the presi-
dent, Max Meissinger, thought it UP to
him to explain the exuberance of the
assemblage to handful of under
takers who looked in on the dance on
their benevolent and protective asso-
citation.
Now, why should we not have a
good time % argued the president.
People who have sense enough to
have their bodies burned In pure fire
instead of having them dug six feet
deep among the worms are entitled to
enjoy themselves. We who are to be-
comes ashes must certainly be more
in the humor to dance than those who
k~forward to a tombstone"
The president went on to explain
that the sinking fund was a mis-
homer as far as the crematories were
concerned and that for the next dance
the term would be changed to Smoke
fund"

SEEDING APPLES OF MAINE.

Bulletin 143 of the Maine Experiment
Station, ''The Seeding Apples of Maine"
is just being sent out. The purpose of
this bulletin is to call attention to those
varieties of Maine origin which are
worthy of wider dissemination; and to
record, as accurately as possible, the
history of such varieties.
While Baldwin, Greening, and other
standard varieties, mostly of New Eng
land origin, will doubtless remain for
many years the leading market sorts,
new and valuable sorts are continually
appearing, and these will be most likely
to excel near their native home, or in
their native State. The wholesale in
jury to orchards by the cold of the past
few years is also an incentive to search
out the merits of native hardy varieties.
Among the most valuable of the 3S
native sorts mentioned in the bulletin,
are Deane, Dudley, King Sweet, Rolfe,
Starkey and Stowe. Some of those de-
scribed in genealogical manuals are said
to be wholly or practically extinct;
though at one time of considerable i'm
portance.
An effort is being made at the Sta
ton to collect in "Maine Orchard"
such native seedlings as seem to merit
attention, and owners of valuable seed
ling apples are requested to forward
specimens of the fruit for examination.
Bulletin AS will be sent free to all
residents of Maine who apply to the
Agricultural Experiment Station, Oro-
no, Me. In writing, please mention

MISTAKES DYSPEPSIA MAY CAUSE.

Many Sufferers from stomach Trouble No
tice arrangements of Other Organs and
Become Alarmed. Symptoms Disappear
When the Stomach Is Toned Up.
Indigestion and stomach trouble show
many symptoms that are mistaken for 9TH
er complaints. The dyspeptic may easily
come to believe that he is sufferer from
heart trouble if wind on the stomach causes
irregular action of the vital organ. The
lungs and kidneys are sometimes affected
also by stomach trouble.
Heartburn, hiccough, nightmare and wat
erbrash, or sour risings in the throat, are
all symptoms of stomach disturbance which
disappear when the cause is reached and
the stomach toned up.

DR.. Williams Pink Pills have corrected
serious disorders of the stomach, have re-
vitalized the nervous system and restored
to health sufferers from severe disorders of
the blood and nerves. For rheumatism, in
of weakness and debility, DR.. Williams
Pink Pills are recommended even if Ordi-
nary remedies have been tried without re-
lief.

Rheumatism Cannot Be
Cured Unless UriC-O
Is Used.
Sudden Deaths, Heart Failure and PARALYSIS
Are Caused by Poisonous Uric and
Rheumatic Acids.

The Rheumatic person is Skeptical regarding
the claims of almost any remedy advertised as
cure for Rheumatism and one can scarcely blame
him for being so. All the plasters and lnments
combined never actually cured case of Rheu-
matism. They may relieve it in one quarter, but
it is sure to break out somewhere else. The only
true way to cure Rheumatism is to drive it from
the system, for as long as the Uric and Rheumatic
Acid remains in the blood, one is never entirely
free from the trouble. This is where the value of
Urc-O as permanent cure for Rheumatism
comes in. 1t seeks out the Rheumatic poison in
the blood, muscles and kidneys, renders it inert
and harmless and drives it out of the system.
That is why Uric-O is such an admirable and
effective cure for Rheumatism.
The chief reason that Uric o is such g. wonder
full cure for Rheumatism is, that it is designed
and prepared to cure Rheumatism aud Rheuma-
tism only. 1t is composed of perfect antidotes
for the rheumatic acid poison in the system. That
is the secret of its wonderful success. Rheuma-
tsm simply cannot exist in PERSONS system if
Uric-O is used.
Uric-O is sold by druggists at 75c and S1.00 the
bottle, but if you still feel skeptical about its
efficacy you can test it free of charge by cutting
out this advertisement and sending same together
with your name and address, also the name Of

When Nature Puts Her Fix-Ups On.

Birds singing over dale and hill,
Trees waving tufts of freshest green,
Bright sunshine giving one thrill
When gliding DER the meadows sheen
All tell me springs chill days are gone
And Nature has her fix-ups on.
Ton distant wood, how fine it looks,
AS though single giant tree;
There flowers fringe the ripping brooks
And huns the merry bumblebee;
Glad scenes all round to look upon
When Nature puts her fiX-ups on.
The buttercups curl leaves of gold,
The cowslips bend beneath our feet.
And shooting stars their beauty hold
Up to our eyes, a daily greet,
While perfumes rare pour forth, anon,
When Nature puts her fix-ups on.
Smooth lies the newly narrowed field
And others green with growing grain,
Their hidden treasures soon to yield
And make the worlds heart glad again.
The old earth smiles, new robes to don,
When Nature puts her fiX-ups on.
Gods country is scene sublime!
No modiste makes such witching gowns
As those which grow in summer time
Unseen by folk who live in towns.
We pity them-thin, pale, and wan
When Nature puts her fX-upS on.
