For 10! my own shall came to me.
1 stay my haste, / make delays.

l stand amid the eternal ways
And what is mine shall know my face

The friends l seek are seeking me:
No wind can drive my bark astray,
MOI change the tide of destiny.
What matter If I stand alone?
l wait with joy the coming years;
My heart shall reap where IL has sown,
And garner up its fruit OF tears.
The waters know their own and draw
The brook that springs in yonder height
So flows the good with equal law
Unto the soul Of pure delight.
The stars come nightly to the sky;
The tidal wave unto the sea;
Nor time, nor space, nor deep, nor high
Can keep my WI away from me.

Found a White Rattlesnake.

81. Louis Correspondent New York Amer
lean.
White rattlesnaaxes and the light cure
for disease are two things new to sci
ence discovered by Dr.. w. ]. MCGEE
while living close to nature on the al
kali deserts Of Arizona last summer.
' DR.. MCGEE brought back with him
abundant evidence Of the upbuilding
effects Of powerful daylight upon the
human system, but he came to st.
Louis minus the two specimens of
white rattlers he captured near his
camp, forty miles from Wilton, the
nearest ~habitation.
The white snakes were just as pug
nacious and as ready for q fight as
their rusty skinned, spotted compan-
ions. After bruising the head Of one
of the reptiles with the heel of his boot,
DR.. MCGEE had the body carefully pre-
served. = He shipped it to a snake ex-
pert in San Francisco and is awaiting
q report to know whether any such
specimens were ever found before.
DIR. MCGEE left st. Louis all run
down." so TO speak. He wanted light
and air and rest, so he made a bee line
for the desert. He took along a me-
neurological instrument to MAKE obser-
Nations for the weather bureau. For
four months he lived out of doors in
Arizona, sleeping on a blanket spread
Upon O. rock, sheltered by heavens can-
opy. The nearest house was forty miles
away and the nearest postoffice sew
snty- five miles distant. Part Of the
time he had the companionship Of Jose,
an Indian guide, and Harrison Ford, a
young st. Louis actor.
DR.. MCGEE says the sunlight on the
desert is from three to five times
stronger than it is in st. Louis, and he
basked in it four months. Result He
returned to st. Louis as sound as he
was before the lingering typhoid kept
him in bed for weeks and left him a
specter of his old self.
His only neighbors were poisonous
reptiles and an occasional prospector.
There were nc means of communicate
ing with the outside world. Pockets
In the rocks furnished him with water.
A strip OF canvas forty inches wide and
tnree feet long was his tent. That was
stretched occasionally when the suns
rays became too intense for endurance.
A blanket spread over a roc was
his only bed. The air he breathed was
fresh and pure.
DIR. MCGEE did not quench his thirst
with a drop of fee water. He lived on
simple diet, abou as close to nature as
1t is possible for any man to get, and
grew strong and well. He was living
like the primitive man with no more
clothes than absolutely necessary to
protect his body from the burning rays
of the sun.
The white snake story is vouched
for by DR.. MCGEE, but his specimen
will not be along for some weeks to
prove that he is entitled to the honor
of discovering the first pale skinned
rattler.

Facts About Food Worth Knowing.

Grape-Nuts food can be taken at any

MY husband also had an experience
with Grape-Nuts. He was very weak

Dog Was Paid For.

FROM the Boston herald.
A story Is told of one of the Va~nderbilts
being out automobiling. While going along
a quiet country road the driver OF the car
saw ahead of him an old farmer walking
along by the roadside, and also a dog.
The dog was not quite contented to remain
on one side. but kept going from side TO
SIDE, and unfortunately was caught by the
car as il sped on and was instantly killed.
h driver turned back as quickly as
possible to find out what damage had been
done. and found the old farmer gazing sor-
rowfully at the remains of the dog. Van
derbilt took out his pocketbook, gave the
farmer a fifty dollar bin, and asked him II
that would repay him for the loss Of the
dog. The farmer said YES and the car
started and was soon lost TO view.
Tn farmer stood beside the remains for
some few minutes. and then. scratching
his head, said IN an undertone: "Wors~.
who the dog belonged to?"
