will distribute 1T more evenly. Then
take a clean brush and brush it all out

To weary hearts, to mourning homes,
Gods meekest angel gently comes
No power has he to Danish pain,
Or give us back our lost again;
And yet in tenderest love our dear
And heavenly Father sends him here.
There's quiet in that angels glance,
There's rest in his still countenance,
He mocks no grief with idle cheer,
Nor wounds with words the mourner':

But ills and woes he may not cure
He kindly trains us to endure,

Angel of Patience, sent to calm
Our feverish brows with cooling palm
To lay the storms of hope and fear,
And reconcile life's smile and tear:
The throbs of wounded pride to still,
And make our W our Fathers will!
o thou who mournest on thy way,
With longings for the close of day
He walks with thee, that angel kind,
And gently whispers, BE resigned;
Bear VI bear on, The end shall tell
The dear Lord ordereth all things well.

world.

immortal" he said, have in them
turths that We all, according to our
kind, take home. This is true in
likeness of immortal works of art
pictures, poems, songs. For different
people they have different messages.
For instance, in my native Pendleton
some of the mothers used to cut the
children's hair. They did it with
shears and a bowl. The operation
was often painful, and the result was
never elegant.
I'm Sunday school a Pendleton
teacher once told her pupils the trag-

ONE THING THAT WAS CERTAIN
No Doubt in the Baggaeeman's Mind
as to Contents of What Looked
Like Coffin,

In an emergency the manufacturer
of Limburger cheese was forced to
use strategy with a shipment. Ordi-
narily his product went in special
cars, but IN this instance no car was
available and the order must be filed.
Two hundred pounds of the fragrant
cOmestible was put in a rough, OBJ
long box, and taken to the railroad
Saggageroom. Then the manufacture
er bought ticket for himself and the
box, and entered the train. At the
first stop he went ahead to the bag
gage car to see that there was no
trouble. He stood by the box in a
disconsolate attitude and shaded his
eyes with his hand. The baggageman
was sympathetic. "a relative?" he
asked. YES" answered the manu-
facturer, cit is my brother" well,
said the railroad man, philosophically,
you have one consolation. He's dead
all right Francisco Argonaut.
