Rheumatic
Pains

my mother is a great suf-
ferer from rheumatism, and DR..
Miles Anti-Pain Pills is the only
remedy that relieves her."
MRS. G. DAVENPORT,
Royce6eld. N. J.
The pains of rheumatism are
almost invariably relieved with
DIR. Miles Anti Pain Pills. They
also overcome that nervous irri-
tation which prevents sleep be-
cause they soothe the nerves. To
chronic suffers they are invalu-
able. When taken as directed,
they relieve the distress and
save the weakening influence Of
pain, which SO frequently pros
trates. Many sufferers use them
whenever occasion requires with
the greatest satisfaction, why
not you? They do not derange
the stomach nor create habit
Why not try them? Get a pack
age from your druggist. Take it
according to directions, and if
it does not benefit he will return
your money.

What makes the atmosphere of a
sick room? is it an odor Of mortal
ity,-the presence of human weak
ness and decay? The doctor, the
nurse, the medicine bottles? Too Of
ten it is, but not inevitably. 1t may
be like mountain air, pure, clear, in
MIGRATING to the finer sense, an at
mOsphere in which tine Easter lilies
bloom with a dazzling. wilderness.
There is exaltation in the sick room as
well as prostration, the keen and con-
slant glow of flame of life which
does not waste with the wasting of
tissues.
Daffodils are nodding to me over
my writing table; they whisper in
sweet fragrances, In sweet memories,
of lives as gentle as their own, lives
I'M which that other worldliness which
makes our best estate shone forth and
mingled it's light with the homely
brightness of a sunny cheer, chf1dIike
in taking pleasure in all the little
everyday events of simple living Do
not the lilies stamd with their feet
in the earth and their heads toward
the sky?
mot very strong, but very happy"
my friend writes. only a brief message
upon souvenir postal card that
brings to me her Easter greeting. Is
not being happy the very way to do
good? Happiness radiates. And the ra-
diation of true happiness is life-giv-
ing. A wornam's influence is quite
enough to make the world a better
place for those round her-the in
fuence of good woman, unfeignedly
happy and drawing her happiness
from deep sources.
This wonderful happiness glimmers
with the whiteness of Easter lilies
when it is proved Indifferent to pro-
longed pain and weakness and depri-
walton of the ordinary joys and activ-
ities of life,-when months and years
of inyalidism have withdrawn their
slow length without chilling its
warmth or dimming its fair serenity
The eager lover and students of Ma
ture, so quick and keenSighted in pur
suit of bird or flower still rejoices in
the rich panorama of the year,
though only from her high window.
Never were ardent heart and helpful
hand more united, more prompt and
efficient to relieve distress, to share
in trouble and danger and difficulty.
Still upon couch of suffering that
heart and hand hold fast to the COM
mon lot through pure sympathy and
refuse to admit that opportunity is
ever lost.
What is the brightness of Easter
morning If it is not the brightness of
this spiritual life. All the lilies. all
the anthems the world round are but
symbols Of its finer force.
How palpaEle it is-like lamp
shining through dearest crystal
this numan-divine love and truth and
beauty revealed and not clouded by
physical weakness, Seeing it before
ones eyes, little aloof from the fret
and burden Of daily toll and struggle,
yet so really one with us in all the
intensity of our human problems, the
very existence Of a personality like
this is new assurance of our best
hopes

THE THREE VIEW TREES.
The wind that talks in the trees
Is more to me than love:
Taking over the timeworn graves
Where my forefathers lie at ease;
And heed what the wind says, as it
waves
The branches, and soft DER the worn
stones move
Sunlight, and shade Of the three yew
trees
lie awake and with delight
Hear the rain along the rones,
And smile to think it beats all night
On the gray and timeworn stones;
And the thought of the beds where
my fathers lie
Somehow subdues my soul, that says:
What are the light of woman's eye
And the feet of the children along
the ways?
| hear the ring OF the stone
On the scythes at reaping time.
And take my place with them there
But somehow seem alone
Midst the scythe-men red and the
reapers fair
AS they bend and bind, where the
green hills climb
From the valley, where are the three
yew trees
And all my people lying at ease.
The men look puzzled ON me at times,
AS swing the scythe, and the women
smile,
White-teethed women with full red
lips,-
And arms that shall some man be-
guile.
But If at the meal time I should pass
The scenes, or the jar from the long.

Apd happened to touch their finger

I look to- the vale whence the calm
hill climbs,
Where my forefathers lie at ease
Meath the worn stones and the three
yew trees.

Two Days Session to Be Held.

Mason City. April l9.-That the
church may be saved from disintegra-
ton as an effective state organization
and that the churches may become
more interdependent, Iowa Congrega-
tionaists are looking to a closer al.
lance. This question: which will come
under the head of state Polity," will
be one of the important themes of dis
cussion at the meeting of the Webster
City-Mitchell associations which con-
vened here this afternoon.
The idea is that there has been no
church harmony in the matter of state
business. Ii a church at Cedar Rapids,
or LeMars, or Mason City thrived ii
did much because of its local forces and
ii it Went down there was no one to
look after 1t, to help it in a systematic
way, hence it is believed there has been
great lois While the theory of church
government which has made the Con-
Sregationalists distinctive among other
church organizations, is dear to most
of its people, a large per cent sec what
the system is leading TO and are casting
about for a remedy
Superintendents Suggested.
The idea which has been formu-
lated and will be thoroughly discussed
here when the report Of the committee
is made will be for the appointment of
a superintendent for the state or for
sections of the state whose duty it Will
be to look after the churches. He will
not have the power of the district SUI
perintendent of the Methodist church
but he will be akin to that official. The
process of checking up the churches,
their finances, the relation to their
pastors and vice versa is a system of
church economy, it is believed that has
made the Methodist church what it is
and more or less other churches are
coming to see this and will adopt in a
measure sooner or later for their own
sake
Another Important Question.
Another important question before
the association will be that of the unit
ing of the Webster City and Mitchell
associations. They meet together this
time with that end in view. The only
danger seems to- lie in the fact of in
difference which many seem to in
dictate. Both associations are large
and fourishing. so some may think that
why not let good enough alone. Still
there is a strong sentiment for the
union and it is expected to carry by a
large majority. Some of the papers

Crop is Not Materially Damaged.

Council Bluffs, April 19.-The fruit
crop in this section of the state is prac-
tically ruined. That is the opinion of
all the principal growers and it is APP
parent in the appearance and condition
of the trees and foliage all over the
city. The extent Of the damage other
than to the fruit will be difficult to de-
termine until the sun has shone, but
there is no doubt that it has been very
great. The loss in this section of the
state is enormous. No estimate of the
actual damage can be made, but there
is no hope for an apple crop, cherries
are killed, plums are killed and berries
in most instances. The grapes may re-
cover to a large extent and that will
mean much. The loss of the apple
crop, however, is most serious.
The temperature at a. m. Sunday
reached % degrees above zero, nine de-
Srees below freezing and at o'clock
Monday was at % degrees. 1t was I'M
doubtedly lower in some places. Friday
nights freeze gave the growers much
apprehension but with better conditions
there would still have been chance.
Sunday morning, however, left little
room for hope and it was generally
agreed that the crop was practically
ruined. Conditions did not change for
the better Sunday and with continued
cold, and temperatures below freezing,
the chances that anything would es-
cape seemed slight.
w. S. Keeline, one Of the largest
cherry and apple grower in this dis
trict, stated that the blossoms We're
killed beyond any doubt and would fall
from the trees with the first sunshine.
Even the foliage. he said. was frozen.
Grapes he thought might still have a
chance to make crop. Mr.. Keeline's
loss will be very heavy.
B. A. Hess, who has an orchard OF
ten Or more acres, said his crop was
ruined. He thought there would be no
apples of any kind. except in some ex-
ceptionally sheltered location and of
the later varieties.
