THE OLD TOWN.
By DUNCAN ~. SMITH

Back in the town where you were born
Some forty years ago
Life runs on as it used to run
In peaceful quiet flow.
Your heart warns kindly to the place
You lived when years were few,
But you're in luck if any there
Have ever heard of you.
The fellows that you used to know
Have mostly gone away
EAl Jones is dead. ST Hicks is locked
In prison. so they say
The Lockhart boys have gone out west
Old Burns has quit the place.
when on a visit hardly can
You see friendly face.
The girls, those pretty little dears
That often broke your heart,
Grown daughters have and sons perhaps
1t gives you quite a start.
Ihose sylph-like forms you so admired
Have wider, stouter grown
TIL. had you captured one of them,
You'd hate to hold your own.
And IT you meet an ancient who
remembers you perchance
Twill be some boyhood meanness or
~Disgraceful circumstance
Go back and see the ancient town,
Just look the village through,
But, let me warn you in advance,
About one look will do.

There is still chance for a young
man to be hero. Mankind is about
to declare war on the fly tribe, and
there should be a medal for the one
who brings in the largest number Of
fly scalps in the first thirty days.
The fly doesn't wash his feet before
coming to the table. and he has them
loaded up with disease germs which
he is pleased to communicate to any
member of the family without special
charge.
This is war in which the suffra-
gette can take part and put to con-
fusion those who when she timidly
requests the ballot coldly ask her who
does the lighting.

all they will at once begin writing

The Old Home Taste.

The wants Of mankind, both spiritual
and material, must be met in individ-
ual ways, or else the recipient is vic.
timized. One cannot judge another by
himself, else his endeavor may receive
such response as is related by Con-
stance Cary Harrison in her account Of
Richmond Scenes in So" During the
first part Of the war the Confederate
wounded brought to that city were
treated to the most tempting luxuries.
Fitting about the streets in the di-
rection of the hospitals, white-jacketed
negroes carried silver trays laden with
soups, jellies, creams, delicate biscuit
and chicken. A year later we came to
pine after such culinary dainties, as
we gave out meager portions of milk
and other plain food.
Sometimes, however, the delicacies
were not appreciated. My mother one
day urged upon sufferer-a gaunt,
soft-voiced Carolinian from the piny
woods-a delicately served tri1e.
Jest as you say, old mis- he at
last responded. Il amt contridicting
you. It must be good for me, but my
stummick's kinder sot agin 1t. There
amt but one thing I'm corter y'arnin'

Fertilixin~ the Garden.

Don't be afraid of getting the soil
too rich for any Of the vegetables
whose leaf or stem is edible. If you
cannot have plenty of well rotted
manure, a top dressing of nitrate Of
soda just before planting will furnish
the plant food needed of nitrogen, but
other elements may be needed for a
proper balance. Wood ashes, if avail
able, are good source for potash, but
sulphate or muriate of potash may be
used instead and frequently a dressing
of hyperphosphate is beneficial.
If one is growing only a small gar
den for home use, the droppings from
the poultry house will furnish enough
fertilizer to keep the soil in a good
state of fertility; but if growing truck
on a large scale, it would be we'll to
inquire of your experiment station
what commercial fertilizers would be
of most help in securing maximum
crops of the vegetables you wish to
grow

rank Of the nobodies into the rank Of
the sonbodies
Money Is power, and in Its pursuit
men tear open mountains and sail wide
seas and toll early and late. Knowl-
edge is power. and to possess it men
read books and excavate buried cities
and make experiments in the labor
atory and exhaust the brain with per-
picking thought. Social position gives
power also, and there are those who
will make any sacrifice and endure any
humiliation to see their names printed
The struggle for power is as old as
the race. Man is inferior in physical
strength to many Of the animals, but
holds dominion over them all. He won
his position by annexing power, which
he found all about him in abundance.
From humble beginnings he has null
tiplied power almost infinitely. His
achievements with extending steam
and flashing lightning and magnetic
currents surpass the dreams Of Alad-
din
The earth has an inexhaustible en-
dowment Of material force. In the
beginning God equipped it with ex-
haustless energy. We have learned to
command this force. We have taught
this energy to serve us The result is
our material civilization.
But man is a spirit. His higher life
demands something more than millions
Of horse power. He needs to WELD a
moral force surprising all material
force He is called to the task by
annihilating weakness and sin as he
has annihilated time and space. The
earth is full of moral energy. There
has been manifested through the ages a
power which impels this world from
darkness into light. It is the power
from on high. 1t is the spirit Of holi-
ness. All the currents Of life are NOV
ing in our direction. The universe
goes on to perfection.
As we have annexed the material,
so we may annex the moral power. In
both cases knowledge and obedience
are the keys which unlock the store
houses of energy. We have discovered
the laws which govern the forces OF
nature. We work in harmony with
these laws and nature is our servant
If we oppose them they crush us, so
we must learn the laws Of God and
obey them We must bring ourselves
into harmony with the forces Of right
eOusness,
The power from on high enters the
heart of the good man. Then he Is IN
vincible. He can stand like Athanasius
against the world. He Is free from
doubt. He knows not fear. He draws
strength from the inexhaustfble foun-
tain of strength. In every controversy
he can say '"rhey that are for us
are more than they that are against
u.s." He knows that one with God Is
a majority.
