My darling little daughter, Agnes.

and was laid to rest on Dec. %. She
would have been nine years in the
spring. She took sick Dec. 2. and on
the 7th we called the doctor from
Roseau. He said it started with
appendicitis and had turned tC
peritonitis and that there was nc
hope.
For Is days and nights I was al
wavs with the little sufferer. She
said it did not hurt so when 1 was
near. The last 10 days she called
out every 1901 20 minutes. and she
cried over and over. ''mamma, it
hurts me sol''
She pleaded for mamma to carry
her around and to hold her in the
rocking chair. But she was so sick
that could not lift her up. She
could not Law on her side or turn.
Had to lift her in a sheet when fix
ing the bed. Had to rip her clothes
to get them of and on.
It was weary watch by day and
night with death so near. The last
20 hours she was unconscious.
The last she was able to lift her
arms. she twined them around my
neck and said. "Don't leave me
mamma" II don'6 want to die.
want to stay with you'll"
But mammals girl must 20. she

When we heard she could not live.
I wrote a note to George TO come
right away. He travelled 63 miles in
one daV nv team. He walked Is
miles in one forenoon. He came in
time to see her alive.
"Don't 20 again George" she
said.'

Restorina Farm Land.

The world will not soon starve. The fertility of the soil Is increasing and there is no such thing as the exhaus- tion of land. The chief of the bureau of soils of the department of agricul- tlre recently wrote a pamphlet or bull croaks of soil pessimists. The pro- ductiveness of land in the United States is increasing. The average wheat yield per acre In this country is two bushels larger than 1t was 40 years ago. trough the corn yield per acre is lightly lower.
 Ignorant or careless tiTlage has de- spoiled much American land of it's fer tility. New England has a vast acre age of abandoned farms" though the acreage Is not so large as 1t was a few years ago. This result Is due both to improvement of cultural methods and to the high price of farm produce. Around Washington, particularly southward, is a big area of wornout land given over to old fields, pines, scrub pine and brush. This was brought about by indefensible methods of husbandry. This land can be re- stored. Goodly patches have been made fertile.
 The restoration of land requires some capital. It costs money to treat 1t with commercial fertilizer. It also costs morey to restore it by the legume route. Clover seed is not cheap, and it takes time to get a stand of clover when the start is made on poor land. A farmer whose bank balance Is not big (and there are such despite current reports) who has fields of poor land, faces quite a problem in bringing up this land to a high degree of fertility. It can be done, but there are difficult ties tO be Washington Star.

Three Unique Features.

There were three unique features about the Seattle show that are wor- thy of record:
 First, it is the only exposition among those just named that did not receive government aid.
 Second. it was the first and only great exposition ever held where no beer, wine or other intoxicants were sold.
 Third, it is the only exposition that made money for it's stockholders.
 The fair was situated on the grounds of the university of Washing ton, whose charter especially provides that no intoxicants shall be sold with in a two-mile limit. The exposition folks were offered a bonus of two. hun dred thousand dollars for the beer privileges. and also the use of a site elsewhere, but with the temperance idea in mind they declined.
 These three points are worthy of attention, since they in great degree, no doubt, mark the signs of the times and symbol the changing order-The Philistine.

 Mrs. Charles H. whaley, g Tread way Avenue, Norwich, Conn.,, says: Ever since my first experience with Doan's Kidney Pills, some six years ago, I have valued them highly. Their use has saved me a great deal of suffering. My experience with various remedies has taught me that many of them while doing good in one way will cause distress in another. Such is not true of Doan's Kidney Pills, which I procured from N. D. Sevin & Sons drug store. They act solely upon the kidneys, and do not affect the stomach. heart or other organs in any way. I consider it a pleasure to recommend Doan's Kidney Pills to other kidney sufferers"

SAVINGS BANK LIFE INSURANCE
A Good Record for the First Year.

Robertson c. Hunter, state actuary, reports that the Massachusetts saw ings banks which have established in- surance departments Cat Brockton and Whitman) have just rendered to the state banking and insurancs commits sioners their annual report as required by the law. Although the year just completed October 31) was the first full year of experience that the banks had had fnsurance, it has been found that each of them has been able to keep intact the guaranty funds, to set aside the full legal reserve. to pay interest on the guaranty funds and are now ready to declare to policyholders a dividend of 1-3 per cent.
 MT. Hunter further expounds the situation: This means that the banks are returning one monthly premium to every policyholder who has paid 12 months premiums. For a whole year we have preached the advantages of savings bank insurance. We have said that the entire plan was being oper- ated unselfishly for the benefit of the policyholders alone. We now point to the first years dividends as evidence of the truth of our statements. A year ago the state actuary claimed that the premiums were 25 per cent. less than the rates of the large industrial com panies. Since that time the industrial companies have cut their rates ten per cent. Accordingly for time the savings banks were offering insur- ance at 15 per cent. less than the com- panies. Now they are again offering insurance at 23 1-3 per cent. less than the industrial companies.

 Brief as was the senate's thirteen minute session 1t was enlivened by an unsuccessful effort by Senator Bai- ley to defeat the passage of the usual resolution that the daily sessions be- gin at noon, his suggestion being thtt the senate should convene instead at two o'clock. Mir. Bailey said he would like to see the senate hold night ses- sions so that senators might devote the day to individual business. No objection was offered when a similar resolution was introduced in the house. President Notified That Congress Was
 in Session.
 A joint committee was named by both houses to wait upon the president and to inform him that congress was in session and ready for any business he might wish to lay before 1t. The presidents response will constitute his annual message, the reading of which will consume practically all of tomor-

PARROT WAS 24.
Death of Pet Bird at Middletown-In- teIIieence of "Joe"-His Love for Franks.

Zoe" perhaps one of the greatest parrots that ever mimicked anyone, has passed on to his reward, after having lived for some little time be- yond the allotted span. of a parrots life. says the Middletown Sun. He was A years and six months old. and was favorite of the late Henry Woodward. Upon his death, some time ago. Miss Mary Murphy, who had been employed in the Woodward fam fly for years. and who was greatly at tashed to Joe, took him to the home of her mother in South Farms, where he had since resided.
 MT. Woodward purchased Joe when he was about six months old. and parrot. Joe was good pupil and was a great talker. At times he displayed intelligence that was nearly human. Once, when Mir. Woodward was about to leave on long trip, Joe was greatly indignant because he was not bidden goodbye with the rest of the family. MT. Woodward had entered hack. preparatory to being driven to the station, when Joe yelled out in en- you going to say good bye to Joe?' Mir. Woodward complied with the re- quest with the admonition "to be a good boy" and Joe replied that he was always good.
 Joe was also somewhat of tease, and he seemed to have belligerent proclivities for cats. He once got two cats so wrathy that they prepared to wage war upon him. The parrot was having a high old time until he saw the cats were stealthily making plans to attack the cage. Then becoming alarmed, he yelled in terrifying tones: Help! MurderI Police!" All the neighbors rushed in-the cries being so realistic-and then when his ma jesty saw that he was protected, he chucked to himself in great glee. and ended by giving the cats a great scold- ing, emphasized by ejaculations that were not exactly along the Sunday school line.
 The butchers and marketmen were all friends of Joe. and he greeted them by their first names with a cheery good morning when they stopped at the house.
