In Praise of Tea

Kienlung, the Chinese poet, was a
prolific writer, and of all his poems
his immortal "Praise of Tea" is most
widely remembered Written in ex-
quisite characters, 1t decorates half the
old cups, plates and fans of his period
Thus 1t runs:
place upon gentle fire the tripod
whose color and form tell Of a far
antiquity and fill 1t with water of
molten snow. Let 1t seethe till it
would be hot enough to whiten fish or
to redden a crab. Then pour it into
a cup upon the tender leaves Of a Sc
lected tea tree. Let it rest till the
mists which freely rise have formed
themselves into thicker clouds and
until these have gradually ceased to
weigh upon the surface and at last
float away in vapor, then deliberately
sip the delicious liquor 1t will drive
away all the causes of disquietude that
come to trouble u.s. You may taste
and you may feel, but never can you
express in words or song that sweet
tranquility we draw from the essence
thus prepared"

Mast Bread.

In Saxon and medieval times, even
after the introduction Of wheat and
other cereals, there can be little doubt
that acorns were regularly used by
the poorer peasants for the purposes
of making bread, and not only In sea-
sons of scarcity, but as a general arti-
Gle of food. Oak trees were then chief
ly valued because of the acorns which
they produced.
In Anglo-Saxon records for the year
1116, which is described as "a very
calamitous year, the crops being spoil
ed by the heavy rains, which came on
just before August and lasted till Cam
dlemas," it is expressly mentioned as
an aggravation of the "heavy time"
that mast was also so scarce this year
that none was to be heard Of in all
this land or In Wales"
The days Of mast bread are happily
gone forever, and even barley bread,
in common use during severe winters
not so many years ago, has now every
where given place to that of "the finest
wheat flour. "-London Spectator.

Maxine Himself Secure

After the funeral Of an old woman
in remote Yorkshire hamlet her sons
and daughters made a vigorous search
for her will, but without success, al
though they knew that she had pre-
pared one shortly before her death
whats ia done wi 1t, Jock?" the
eldest son asked the youngest, who,
being unmarried and a great Ounce,
had always hung on to his mothers
apron strings. "Tha's been In t. house
all this time, wi nobody to watch thee,
an it looks bit fishy. Hast ia burnt
it?"
Jock violently refuted the charge
why, All nobbut 'ad it In my 'ands
once" he declared.
"Ah. then. tina admits there wor a
willY cried the eldest brother trium-
phantly.
"Of coorse there wor!' Jock frankly
confessed. 'She gave 1t to me t. day
afore she died, but All couldn't read a
word of it, so All took 1t art an buried
it to keep 1t safe Ah'm not going to
let any brothers an sisters get ahead
o. me. When Alive learnt to read for
me sen All shall dig that will up, but
not day earlier!''
And they had to "have the law on
him" before he would divulge the hid
Ing place Of the document.

Every Household in Redwood Falls
Should Know How to Resist it.

The back aches because the kid

Help the kidneys with their work.
The back will ache no more.
Lots of proof that Doan's Kidney
Pills DO this.
Mrs. Ida Schmucker, 127 N. Min
nesota ST., New Ulm, Mimi, say:
Seven long years | was in constant
misery. suffering with grinding,
dull pains through the small of my
back. | was unable to rest day or
night and often became so nervous
that it was only with great effort
that was able to control myself.
At times the pains would start in
my kidney regions and extend to the
back of my neck and top of my
head and at such times would al
ways be so dizzy that l would have
lie down until the attack passed. At
the same time Doan's Kidney Pills
were brought to my attention, was
completely discouraged. However,
| was so much impressed by what |
read of them that | procured a box
at drug store. | received such
great relief from the first box that
| continued, taking the second and
since then the trouble with my kid
neys has been entirely corrected. |
have often advised number of nv
friends to give Doan's Kidney Pills

SEEKING
A SIGN
By MILDRED COLEMAN.
Copyrighted, 1908. by Associated
Literary Press.
By MILDRED COLEMAN.

Look out!' warned Lefty. Its the
worst sort Of luck to spin a chair
around like that
Travis. who had been twirling
light chair. hastily set it down on all
four legs. This was not that he feared
the hoodoo, but the CONSERVATION on
Lettys face indicated her discomfort.
And to make Lefty unhappy was fur
thest from his thoughts.
Don't set it down. shreked Lefty.
"You must turn the chair the other
way until you wind the bad luck
again."
Dutifully Travis wound up his evil
fortune and turned to the girl
look here. Lefty" he pleaded; "let's
forget signs for minute and get
down to something more interesting
than superstitions. You told me last
Friday that l might have my answer
today
Letty's face colored softly.
Its such bad luck to propose on
friday! she asserted solemnly
$50 it seems agreed Travis, las it
has kept me In suspense since then.
You know that l love you. dear, and
that it has always been my great wish
to win you for my wife. Is the answer
Yes Letty?"
Travis. looking into the half yelled
eyes. could read therein the struggle
the girl was having with her own
heart and then the gradual submission
of her shyness to her love- He could
almost see the formation of the word
that would bring to him the happiness
he sought when with a little cry of
terror Lefty sprang to her feet, her
eyes dilated with tears and her hand
pressed against the heart that beat so
rapidly.
Cant you hear it, Jim?'' she cried.
Hear what?'' Travis strained his
ears for some sound Yet nothing

an Authors Trick.

One Of the ADLER modern writer's
made this confession the other day:
81 am so devoted to my wife that l
allow her to break in upon me when
ever she pleases. Naturally she cuts
into my line Of thought and often de-
stroys the continuity of genius. The
only way for me to do good days
work is to quarrel with her, to make
her so angry that she will cry, fuss,
break few dishes, smash a kitten,
scald puppy or two. then go to her
room and stay there. By the time l
have done a days work she is in ex-
cellent humor and tired Of being alone.
Then we make up."-New York Press.
The Redwood gazette. [volume] (Redwood Falls, Minn.) 1873-1940, 1908-07-22

TN GOING TO MAKE ONE LAST EFFORT"
save the faint flare Of brass instru-
ments could he hear.
cts a funeral" explained Lefty,
"a military funeral and they are play
ing dead march"
you would scarcely expect them to
play a waltz" reminded Travis. Dead
marches are written for funerals, you
know"
But think of the omen," persisted
Lefty. Jim, if I should say Yes one
of us would die before the wedding"
It's awfully kind of you to save my
life," said Travis, with a smile that
found no reflection in his heart Its
really good of you, Lefty. but I'm per-
fectly willing to take chances"
II am not" was the answer in dead
ened tones. Don't you realize what a
bad omen it is, Jim?'
ut certainly is a bad omen If it
means that you will not marry me just
because a funeral procession happens
to be passing down the next street."
agreed Travis.
He did not argue. Lefty was ador-
able, but she was welded to a belief
in signs, and it now looked as if his
avowal Of love had been rendered
fruitless by the funeral procession at
the very instant when he had read his
triumph in her eyes. Lefty loved him
that he knew-but it was useless to
argue when she was so obsessed by
the fear of the omen.
1t was two weeks before Travis re-
newed his suit In the interval he
had come and gone, as usual. He and
Lefty had been to the theater and
driving, but not a word had Travis
breathed Of the subject that was near
est to his heart
He found the girl that Friday after
noon sitting pensively In the window
seat
The soft breeze from the south blew
into the room the fragrance Of the
blossoms, and the mellow sunlight
glinted on the veivety green Of the
growing verdure. 1t was an ideal day,
and Lefty responded sensitively to the
promise of new life.
Almost before she knew that he had
entered Travis had reached her side
and had taken her hand In his strong
grasp.
I'm going to make one last effort to
win my happiness, Lefty" he said
softly. II have tried to accept your
