ROAD OF SORROW.

Along the road of sorrow
All the fairest roses bloom,
And it's there the glad tomorrow
Smiles a welcome through the
gloom;
On the road of Heartache only
Can you find the road to rest;
All the other paths are lonely,
But the road of God is blest.
1t is there you find the sweetness
OF a gentle mothers love,
In it's fullness and completeness
Such as others know not of.
1t is there that smiles are brightest,
1t is there that hearts are true,
1t is there that eyes are lightest,
They have kept in sorrow, too,
1t is there words are consoling
And the pressure of a hand
Has a way beyond controlling.
For it makes you understand
That the brother who comes cheering
Knows the meaning of your woe,
Though his skies, perhaps, are clearing,
He has suffered what you know.
Yes, along the road of sorrow,
There the fairest roses sway,
And the brave heart seeks the morrow
AS a brighter, better day.
1t is there you find believing,
And the truest comfort know,
For along the road of grieving,
Nc one ever plods alone

never tire talking about this
great linen stock" Your moth

years ago that when they want
ed either service or beauty of

Cabe's, that when they wanted
pure spun fax or some latest
novelty, they would be more
certain to find it at this store
than elsewhere. Then there
was the question of price-aI-
ways a little less here.
We never forget to give a
bargain when we get a par

uine linen bargains in store at
any one time than right now.
Those we mention are but
samples of the many. Note the

SOARING

(By United Press Leased Wire.)
CHICAGO, Aug. 3.-Prices of
meat, milk, butter, canned goods,
dried fruits and flour are balloon
ing again, and there is little
chance of drop this winter, say
the dealers. BY October it is pre-
dicted that meat will advance
from 1 to cents per pound, milk
will cost cents more per quart,
and butter will sell at SO cents a
pound.
No definite cause can be as
signed for the increase. Some
dealers attribute it to the scarcity
of live hogs and cattle.
