The Worlds Two Kinds Of People.

IT HERE only two kinds of people in the world
the people who live in the shadow and gloom and
those who live the sunny side of the street.
These shadowed sometimes called pessimists;
sometimes, people of melancholy temperament;
times they called isagreeable people, but wherever
they go, their characteristic this their shadows
ways travel before them These people carry
their burdens but expose all their wounds to-
Others They all busy looking down for pitfai
and sharp and thorns step that they do
know that there any stars in the sky. These
folks live the wrong side of the street And yet it's
only twenty feet the other sidewalk, where
shine always lies.-Newell Dwight Hills.

-'a-Sas- i--i----~ A DREAM
Henry's father and another carpen-
ter had been working on a high
building which was being erected on
the side of hill just across the river
from Henry's home.
Often he would go with his father
and play around the building, but
dared not go up with him, for 1t was
very high.
One sultry afternoon Henry had
been playing very hard, and asked
his father to take him to the TOP
Of the building so that he might see
over the wide fields and the little
village where he had spent so many
happy hours. Being refused he re-
treated under the limbs of a large
oak tree, where he could be protected
from the hot rays of the summer sun.
He could at least look up and imagine
himself viewing the hills, the plains
and the river meandering here and
there through the beautiful trees.
1t was too tempting for him, he
could not stay any longer, so he
made up his mind to venture to the
top Of the building, although contrary
to his fathers will. He climbed up
from one limb to another of the tree,
and from the very highest limb he
jumped over to the building and dash
ed into one of the windows. Alight-
ing nOiselessly and without injury, he
glanced around to see if any one had
noticed him. His way being clear
he proceeded with his climb to the
top. He had passed and repassed his
father and other carpenters, but was
never seen. There ne was, UP in the
very top, above the trees, even the
tall oak tree he had been sitting under
a few minutes ago. It was a grand
sight. He could almost distinguish
the individuals in the neighboring vii
Iage, even though several miles away,
he thought. Birds would fly past
him, and once a little robin sat near
him. Henry stood very still. How
pretty it is! Look at its fine feathers!
1t would be so nice to take home.
He puts out his hand to catch it;
maybe it will see him, or it may hear
him. He is so anxious he has almost
forgotten to breathe. He tries again,
when, "Oh, help help! I'm falling,
help!!!" And there he was under
the tree, on the green grass, just
where he was when he fell asleep

EXPERIMENT TRIALS IN
SULPHUR SPRING VALLEY
Tucson Professors viii Visit
There This Summer,

DOUGLAS, June S.-ISpecial.)-
Secretary Gerhart of the Chamber
of Commerce is in receipt of a letter
from Prof. Forbes, director of the Uni
versity of Arizona, and also letter
from Prof. J. J. TohTnber Of the ex-
detrimental station at Tucson, stating
that they will be in Douglas and the
Sulphur Springs valley this summer
and look over the agricultural posi-
bilities of the valley. Prof Thornber
has had a great deal Of experience IN
dry farming and range study and his
advice and instructions regarding farm
ing is worthy of much consideration,
and mis- visit to Douglas will be inter
esting in as much as he will deliver
addresses to the farmers and those In
terested in agriculture. He is also an
expert on soils and will be able to
state the best crops for the soil of the
Sulphur Springs valley.
Prof Thonber states that expert
ments should be made this summer
with extremely drought-resistent
plants, such as sorghum, kafir corn,
mi lomaize, Jerusalem corn, teosints,
pearl, millet, German millet, ETC.; also
wheat, oats and barley. He states that
land in the Sulphur Springs valley
should be plowed deep and rolled and
narrowed after each heavy rain. For
the first two or three years all crops
should be planted in rows and thor
! oughly cultivated after each rain, so
as to conserve the moisture
| Secretary Gerhart states that he
wants to have a meeting Of the valley
farmers in the near future and have
experiments made along the lines laid
down by Prof Thornber. He states
that the best success can be made by
| the farmers all working together, thus
ascertaining the best and most profit
able crops for this section Of the cou1-
Ity. The forming of farmers institutes
has been the means Of promoting ag-
riculture in other sections, and Nj.
Gerhart wants to have the farmers
get together often and discuss farms
and farming in the valley.

In DARNING LACES
SOME IMPORTANT POINTS TO BE
REMEMBERED.
Net Necessary TO Throw Away Torn
Trimmings-Mend Them Ae-
cording to the Directions
Given In the Article.

The darning of narrow lace edges Il
& most difficult matter.
If the tear is a serious one the edges
of the lace can be basted upon the
seJvedge of muslin and placed in the
embroidery hoop.
Care must be taken not to sew into
the muslin.
If the edge is destroyed entirely OF
in part the lace may be basted upon
white letter paper and stitched several
times to form new edge and cross
threads stitched to hold this edge in
place, then the paper pulled away and
the remaining stitches put in on the
machine or by hand.
Hamburg edgings and insertions can
be darned in the same way. They
should preferably be free of starch
and smoothly ironed to facilitate per
feet work
White mosquito netting that has
been washed will be found to give a
good foundation for darning coarsely
woven underwear on the machine, and
soft black mosquito netting should be
basted under the holes in the knees
Of boys stockings.
1t should be basted directly across
the holeNand the machine darning be
done directly upon it The rough
edges and threads can afterward be
trimmed away.
When you are through darning upon
the machine, do not forget to replace
the pressure on the pressure foot and
the stitch action to the feed, otherwise
you may be very much puzzled the
next time you go to the machine and
wonder why it won't make a stitch"
Darning upon the single-thread or
chain-stitch machine is somewhat
more difficult, as the machine will
sew in only one direction, and the
thread must be broken of before the
lifting of the pressure foot at the com
pletion Of each row of stitching.
This leaves a multiplicity Of loose
ends on the under side of the work.
Unless great care is taken to clip
these ends they are very apt to catch
into the sewing and spoil the appear
ance Of the darn.
For renewing and Strengthening the
frayed edges Of Hamburg embroidery
and laces, whether valenciennes or
torchon, the chainstitch machine does
prettier work than the lockstitch.
It is necessary, however, to use very
fine thread. No. $50 is none too fine
and No. 200 is even better for delicate
laces, especially If one seeks to fol-
low the curves and scrolls of the lace
pattern
A medium stitch Is best when darn
ing upon the cnaInstitch machine

PUPILS STARVING IN
EAST SIDE SCHOOLS
Little Folks IN New York Suf-
fering for Food Authorities
Act Promptly.

NEW YORK. June S.-Emergency
measures Tor the relief OF hundreds
of pupils In East Side schools who
have been found to be suffering from
Lack of food have been adopted by
the committee Of East Side school
board members, organized as a result
OF the serious conditions which the

for the support of these hJolresrs
have been supplied only in part, the

disclosures Of the pidable plight VI
children fainting at their desks from
want of sufficient nourishment that
the committee anticipates no trouble
in obtaining By subscription all this
money needed for the purpose.

lie have hardly painted conditions
black enough was the statement
made today by Isidore NJ. Levy,
chairman of the third school district
COInIulllct- AL AuNSSliSdllOE, S<tlu
Mr.. Levy, has shown that many of
the destitute families have sent
their little ones to school without
having given them food for forty
eight hours. To my own personal
knowledge several children have
tainted while they were reciting in
their classrooms"
Destitution has visited hundreds of
East Side families as the result OF
The business depression. Not only
have the educational authorities sa-
ken up the matter, but various cnari-
table societies have begun active
work for alleyiating the distress.
Among these are the Association for
improving the Condition of the Poor
and the United Hebrew Charities.
The teachers and principles organ
fzation, perfected today, is to be
called the "Children's Relief Socie-

ment that tomorrow the hungry chill,
