Dear M. B. Friends:
The above poem, sent by our new sister,
will bring messages OF comfort to MANY
whose way is overshsdowed or those who
are shut out from LIES activities and shut
in by reason Of weakness or pain.
often think of Janet, our Sunshine
member; busylwith her own cares and
anxities, yet planning and doing for di-
rect Sunshine work, to which column in
the Lewiston Journci is devoted. Yet she
kindly recognizes our.mutual interests as
sort OF q sunshine branch, though we are
not directly connected with the regular
Sunshine order.
How thankful we ought to be that there
are some broad minded people in the
world! Oh! the pity of it-when nature is
so lavish of its gifts, and the blue canopy
above us is, SO. far as we know, boundless
in its limitations, land the great surging
mass of humanity has its extremes OF
knowledge and ignorance, OF good and
evil-that.there are SO many who never
look beyond the horizon of their own ex-

Dear1Aunt :Madoe.
We were glad to hear from the sister from
Cloverdale, California, that she was enjoying
her hollyhocks in midwinter, and hope they
were not washed out by the recent heavy
Iains. We .loye these sweet, old-fashioned
posies, such as grandma gave her lovers
when she walked the garden through" and
their cultivation affords us much pleasure.
Some time ago friend gave Us some roots
of the hollyhock, and we planted them under
our dining-roon window. There they have
grown and bloomed all winter. One has ont
grown all the others and is now ten feet I've
inches high. Yesterday we had q severe
storm which we feared would uproot our
plant friend, for it swayed to and fro very
much in the strong wind. The storm being
over, this morning we propped it mp again.
and the clusters of bright, pink flowers loo ked
similingly in upon us as we ate our break
fast.
And now l win give you our recipe for max
ing
ORANGE MAEMALDE-Five orangesiand one
lemon quartered and sliced cross wise; to one
pound of fruit add three pints of water: let
stand twenty-four hours, then boil briskly
together for one hour; let stand again for
twenty-four hours; then add one pound of
sugar to every pound of fruit; boil again for
an hour, ana while boiling, squeeze in the
juice of two lemons.

These breezes from the land OF flow

closed deal with Hon. David N.
Iallman, OF Wllimar, whereby the
state of Minnesota becomes the owner
of the Iallman stock farm, located
two and one-half miles from Wlllmar,
says the st. Cloud Times. On this
splendid tract the state will locate its
lnebriate asylum, provided for by the
1907 Legislature. Mr.. Tallman made
farming hobby, and the result is
that the state secures one OF the best
tracts in the entire state The loca-
tion is Ideal and fronts on a pretty
lake. Several large buildings are in
cluded in the transfer which embraces
about 480 acres. This Is the farm that
won the Seventh district Hill prize
two years ago, and was pronounced by
expert judges at that time as we'll
worthy Of the distinction. Mr. Tall

TO FIX SCHOOL SEWER.

Plans are to be presented by Phil. S.
Randall at the next meeting of the
board of education for the Hawthorne
school sewer, whereby a bigger fall
will be secured to dram the sewage
from the school building. This sewer,
as 1t is at present has caused consider
able trouble each winter, because of
insufficient slope. The water would
not dram off and carry the sediments
away. but would freeze and the sewer
would be out OF commission most of
the time. It was necessary TO build a
cess-pool to take care Of the sewage.
At present the sewer runs down
Seventh street and connects with the
main sewer near the brewery. It is
thought that by running the pipes
along the same street but giving them
more slope and instead OF connecting
near the brewery, running it an extra
block down the avenue and connect
with the main sewer on Sixth street !;
or by laying the pipe down Seventh
avenue northeast to Sixth street and
then running it down that street and
connecting with the main sewer In
this manner, that sufficient drop can
be secured to drain the sewer and put
an end to the annual trouble.
