been attracting attention on both

Would you have shown to you by
the indlsputable evidence Of the
camera that you are approaching
physical catastrophe?
Then have a picture made of the
back of your eye. But only by a
scientist Of repute.
Poets and others, from the earliest
flights Of the lyric muse, have term
ed the human eye the mirror and
the window of the soul.

romantic science and calls the eye

The Farmers Union of this state

Just completed their arrangements
for publishing an official organ Of
this organization. This paper will

Of the Union who has paid his dues

THE MARCH STORMS HAVE BIN GIN.
FRAt.

The March storms have been gen
eral and unusually severe, although
the month has not passed through
one third Of its duration
They commenced on the morning
OF the fourth and swept the Atlantic
coast from Norfolk northward to
New York, with snow and sieet,
accompanied by violent winds. The
greatest fury Of the elements was
experienced at and around Bllti-
more, while Washington, where a
National Presidential Inauguration
was taking place, suffered severely,
Tuesday evening a violent tornado
crossed Arkansas, where it de-
stroyed the h%ourishing town Of
Brinkley, a busy place Of some
1900 inhabitants Many persons
were killed and wounded and the
destruction Of property was enor-
nous. A storm was experienced at
Blocton Bib County, Ala, destroy
ing house and killing one man
and w%oundlng another.
Heavy SHOWS fell Tuesday over a
great extent Of country west Of the
Mississippi River, including Iowa,
Nebraska, Kansas and Oklahoma,
delaying trains, and accompanied
by cold weather.

A SNOWY MAY.

The May queen this year is going
to have the same kind Of time that
fell to President Taft for his induc-
ton into office, il representations
are worth anything, A rural I'M
derstudy Of Old Prob says that we
are to have no less than niue SHOWS
during the month of May. His
basis for this conclusion is the
thunder We had in February. For
every season Of thunler' in that
month there will be a snow in May.
Single claps do not count; it must
be something more prolonged: and
the aforesaid Old Prob declares that
he counted nine Of these Seasons"
during the month Just past. We
are not disposed 10 take issue with
the prophet, for the antics of the
elements seem to allow of almost
any possibility. We have had sum
mer heat and thunderst0rms in Jan
uary, so it seems only a balancing
Of accounts to give MS snow in Nav;
and possibly by the time June
comes around we will get some
April weather. ANYHOW, we will be
interested to watch for the verifca-
ton Of the old man j forces Com.

blood for him; why should | have
hesitated about puttinga few ounces
from my veins into those Of my hus
band?'
Those were the words OF Mrs
Harvey W. Hess Of Philadelphia,
when praised for the herojsm which

this, that he lay down his life for
his friend"

sy. But when such stories of devo-
ton as that told above, the self.
