Lies Garden.

There are flowers in life's garden
TO make its pathway fair
The rose in bloom with sweet perfume,
The orchid rich and rare,
The daisy and the violet,
The lily Of charity
And the yellow and blue forgetmenot,
The flower of memory.
When first unto the garden
In the glow of youth / came
passed the sweeter blossoms by
For the poppy men call fame,
But when, with my searching weary,
sat me down DO rest
This truth l learned-that the flowers I
spurned,
The humble flowers, are best.
1 met you in the garden
You were in among the flowers
And from that day we chose for aye
That the roses should be ours
The roses should be ours, my sweet,
Until LIES day is spent:
We plucked the red red rose of love
And the white rose of content
We have wandered through lifes garden
Together, you and l,
In paths Of flowers, while the golden
hours
Have passed US lightly by,
And We never yet have regretted
The choice we made that day,
For the roses of love and sweet content
Have blossomed along our way.

Daniel would keep his cattle from wa
ter for at least day. To put keen
er edge on their thirst he would feed
them salt.
Just before reaching the weighing
place he would let them drink. Nat
urally stock In that condition would
literally absorb water by the barrel.
This was imitation with vengeance.
Water is heavier than beef, likewise
cheaper. If dealer can only sell
enough water at beef prices he can
make his fortune. At least so reason
ed Daniel Drew, and, if rumors are to
be credited, SO reason many railroad
magnates and other capitalists of to-
day, only they sell their water at
still higher figures and in much great
er quantities as stocks and bonds.
This is the true origin of the term

nifty which should negative the idea
that labor was intended as curse.
Carlyle says there is perennial
nobleness and sacredness in work
1t acts as channel, dug and torn by
noble force, through the mud-swamp
of our lives, like an ever-deepening
river there, it runs and flows, drain
ing off the sour, fostering water from
the grass roots, and converts the
swamp into a meadow of fruits and
flowers.
These Labor Day parades are great
moulders of public sentiment They
are educators, lettering the DISPOSE
ton to clanishness, and fostering in
dependent thought. AS we watched
the parade we thought of the varied
information of the men in line. They
know how to work wood and iron into
all sorts of fantastic shapes, but
that's not all they know. By the
genius of modernized labor, and mod
ern thought they are of more than
average intelligence. For instance,
we saw several in the parade who
know, by actual test, that there is

The Worth of Labor Day Parades.

ne worth OF LABOR Jay faradeS.
People fail to appreciate the worth
of Labor Day parades and trade dis
plays. We talk of blacksmiths and
boilermakers. car builders and car
penters, timers and tie makers, and
we see the result of their skill in the
finished products, but we are prone
to overlook the fact that the man who
makes thing is greater than the
thing made. We see a great mogul
engine on the track, pulsating with a
pent-up, hidden power, and we admire
its perfection and its harmony of ac-
ton, look with confidence and pride
on the man at the throttle, and watch
the fireman feed the furnace, but
greater than these are the men who
built the engine. 1t is not all there
is in labor just to hoe carrots and
cabbages, mould CRATES and gridirons,

SEA BATHING.
Tho Effects of Salt Air and Water on
the Human Body.

Tho Effects of Salt Air and Water on
the Human Body.
There is reason why parents have
in all times and in all ages endeavored
to give their children the benefit of sea
air and sea bathing. An Italian physi-
clan, Gerose, tells about it:
1t is agreed, he says, that all living
organisms began their first existence in
salt water and that as result the hu-
man body (and indeed every animal
body is largely made up of salt. If
you taste your blood or your tears,
which are the extract of blood, you
will find that both are quite salt in
flavor. More than this, however, every
living being possesses within his body,
in the cellular stage, all those strange
marine organisms which we study so
curiously in museums And, seeing,
says ,Gerosa. that the amount of sea
water contained in every body is equal
to one-third of that body's weight, it Is
clear that in the infnitesimally rudi-
mentary form all known marine life
must be present in the blood. The re-
suit is that when we battle in the sea
or breathe the sea air we replace the
amount of essential salt which is con-
stantly decreasing in the system and.
all unconsciously to ourselves, weak
ening it. Salt water, says Gerosa, is
really the main principle of life, since
it is the first condition of existence
which the living organisms knew. 1t
is therefore always good for the body,
whether 1t be enjoyed at the seaside or
brought in bottles from the sea. In
particular is it very valuable in the
case of weakling children, and there is
no bodily stimulant so invigorating to
the very young as sea water.

The First "Watered Stock. ("

One cannot turn corner In this
county without humping into history.
The latest thing | have run into is a
story of Daniel Drew. He took his
rise here or hereabouts and in an early
day bought and drove stock to the
New York market
The story makes it appear that Dan
iel Drew was the financial If not the
physical ancestor of most of our mod
ern captains of industry. He gave
birth to the term "watered stock" It
was in this wise:

Mike and Wall Street.

Ny combination gardener. goat keep
er, chore boy and man of all work is
like Wall street in one respect. He
cannot stand prosperity. Whenever
the country grows prosperous Wall
street is not satisfied until it goes Off
on a regular debauch of speculation
and all the surplus disappears. When
ever Mike gets his months wages he
is not content until he goes off into a
little different sort of debauch and
gets rid Of his surplus in the same
way. The only difference between the
two is that Mike does not water his
stock.

Austin, Texas, Sept 1, 1908.
Mrs. A. R. Howard,
Palestine, Texas.
Dear Madam:-Yeu have been ap-
pointed as delegate to represent the
Federation of Women's Clubs and you
have, ere this, no doubt, received no.
tice OF your appointment from your
president, Mrs. Dibrell. We earnestly
hope that you can attend this Con-
gress personally, but in case you can
not it will nevertheless be possible for
you to do an immense amount of
good by stimulating interest in the
movement.
The Texas delegation will make an
attempt to impress upon the other
states the necessity for establishing
free sauatoria by each state to take
cafe of the tuberculosis poor. Texas
hopes to establish such a sanitarium
next year You can be of invaluable
assistance by creating public opinion
in favor of sanitation, and creating To-
cal interest in the coming Congress.
Again, if you can persuade your city
council or county commissioners to
send your health officer, it would be
a substantial aid
So far the women of this state have
shown themselves to be entirely will
ing to help in this public work. l
wish to thank you for what you have
done and to bespeak continuance of
your efforts in this great humanitarian
work, the crusade against tuberculosis.
In case you can attend the Congress,
/ would be glad to be informed prior
to your going.
Yours sincerely,
W. M. Brumby,
State Health Officer.

THE vooDoo IN HAITI.
Human Sacrifices to the God Of the
Serpent.

truman SacriflceS to the GOD OF the
Serpent.
There is ample proof that human be-
iings have been offered as sacrifices to
the god of the serpent in Haiti. A
French archbishop of the island de
scribes visit made by one of the
priests to voodoo assembly. The
man had disguised himself as negro,
and he was thus able to mingle unde
outside the sacred circle. After the
white cock and white goat had been
slain and offered up and their blood
had been sprinkled on the company a
burly young negro came forward and
Frustrated himself before the priestess.
Then, still kneeling. he made his
prayer:
20 maman, have favor to ask of
thee"
ssWhat is it, my SOM" said the
negress encouragingly.
thou not give US. to complete
the sacrifice. the goat without horns?"
The priestess gave sign of assent.
The crowd roundabout separated, and
there was revealed child sitting with
~ feet bound. The French priest
shed away in search of assistance in
preventing the unholy rite. but the
authorities on whom he called were
strangely slothful When finally, on
the day following, they arrived at the
place Of assembly, they found the
grewsome remains of a sacrifice and
feast, among them the boiled skull of
the child.-Marvin Dana in Metropoli-

Grouches and Rivers.

The worst foe Of mankind in this age
is the crouch. This imp of the evil
one goes about seeking whom it may
| get into bad temper. The color of
the crouch Is dark blue, and one of
its most familiar forms is as a cloud
over our mental sunshine
The crouch is bigger liar than any
whom President Roosevelt has in his
justly celebrated gallery. 1t whispers
into its victims ear that he is no
good. that he is failure in life, that
he might as well be dead and all that
sort of childish, negative nonsense
The crouch also spoils a mans dis
position so that he wants to abuse his
family and fight with his best friend.
1t has the same effect on the milk Of
human kindness that thunderstorm
does on that which we get from the
brindled cow called Spec.
Whenever / recognize the fact that
this monster of the abyss is after me
either go to work and exercise it by
sheer muscular exertion or go out on
to the little old platform in front of
my crooked house and let the air from
the river blow the phantom away. The
breath from the face of the waters al
ways gives a benediction. Whether
at morn or eve. noon or night it has
touch of sanity. Of calm. of cooling,
that is good for obsessions and blues.
The sense mind is the father Of lies,
and the crouch is his eldest child.
This indigo monster is an elemental
that fastens on our souls and sucks
away our happiness as the vampire
sucks blood The crouch is the quin-
tessence of doubt. weakness and petu-
lance.
The air from the river rs like
breath from the eternal country. and
1t clears up this mist Of falsehood as
the morning breeze curls up and BAN
ishes the tents of the fog.
Down the road little way is the
old home of George P Norris. who

spare that tree. also several others.

ALTAR OR SROOEUM HOUSE

The reports that have gone to the world during the past year or two, rela- tive to the social and hygienic condition of the Alaskan Indians have aroused the interior department to a sense of it's duty in the premises says the Wraugell Sentinel. As a consequence of investi- gations, Mir. UpdegraT has been in- strucGed to appoint medical examiners for each of the judicial districts. It will be the duty of these examiners to visit every native home in their respective jurisdictions and make careful and searching observations of the physical condition of every Indian, with a view 70 stamping out unsanitary conditions and attendant disease which exist in such marked degree. The examiners will also be vested with power to com pei white men who are living 10 adult cry with native women, to marry them according to law, or go to iail. The native custom of living together as man and wife without the lawful ceremony will also be abolished.
 "The appointment of the examiner for southeastern Alaska will probably have been made before this has reached the reader, and for the benefit of any reader who may be exposed to process of law, we say; get yourself in readiness for what is 70 come, for the examiner is is apt to appear unannounced.

The idea as advanced is that all persons addicted to the drink habit pass an examination that shall include the wishes of rels- tiyes with regard 10 drink aud then, if the board appointed for the purpose sees it, the drinks shall be given a license upon the payment of pres cribed fee. Saloon keepers are to be forbidden to sell liquors to any one not possessed of e license and the plan also provides that any one who has DO license shall be punished for drinking.
 The right to impose such restriction upon the personal liberty of the indl- vldual was put to the test in a case at court and deuied in the first instance but it is related that a higher court has sustained the ,prohIbitionis,s and the movement is being pushed.
