The Courage of Fighting Billy
Fighting Billy lay face TO the earth in

With a guard pacing by. -.
The lust of the liquor within him was
spent,
And what was there left but to die?
He was willing for that, but not, not by
the shot
OF his comrades to fall,
Nor his proud name erased from the rolls
by blot,
And dishonor the sum of it all.
Fighting Billy lay face to the earth in a
tent,
With a guard pacing by.
But court martials waited, for battle had
A rift in the clouds of his sky.
He lifted his head as an officer passed.

For a moment the blood smothered close

AS he fought the temptation which rose at

OF the thought of his waiting disgrace
Then "Forward!' and wildly he led the
attack.
And then? Did he lag?
Did he throw down his gun? Or who

He was there when the court martial's
verdict was read

And a murmur of sympathy stirred,

The Farmers, Prosperity.

No better evidence of the prosperity
Of those engaged in agricultural pur-
suits Is needed than to witness the
showing Of wealth at the various State
fairs this season. Chicagoans who at
tended the annual shows 1T Iowa.
Minnesota, Wisconsin, Indiana, Ohio
and Kentucky have returned with the
most cheering reports Of prosperity in
the farming districts as was well shown
by the increased attendance at each of
the State fairs as compared with recent
years.
Practically all of the State shows this
year had greater numbers of rural Wis
itors than have ever attended before.
Were the farmers a little pinched for
money doubtless many of them would
have remained away from their State
fairs, viewing a few days study and
pleasure as luxury which they could
not afford. This year, however, the
farmers turned out IN record numbers,
and spent more money than in former
years.-Goodall's Farmer.

Mint Jelly.

Many persons like anything of food
variety containing gelatine, and the
usual meat jellies contain such, but a
splendid jelly to serve with cold or
warm meat is mint jelly, the bulk
made with apples. Cook the apples the
same as for apple jelly, strain the Juice
and add handful Of crushed mint
Boil until the flavor is extracted, strain
twice and add the same amount of SUI

formed. Grape juice can be favored
In the same manner, and also cranberry
