April Showers

When / went out into the yard this
morning TO feed hen with young chick
ems, 1 noticed that a gentle shower had
dropped down on US some time during the
night: while IL fell so gently that it did
not wake me. although I am a light
sleeper.
1t barely showed the ground. but il
fell on everybody's garden truck and made
the little birds sing as briskly, as If they
were high-priced opera singers.
Every young leaf and blade Of grass
was rejoicing. and all nature smiled be-
cause the Heavenly Father sprinkled
little water on the dutsy earth, while
we were sleeping too soundly to thank
Him for it,
I noticed the dust on yesterday as the
distributors and cotton planters were GO
ing across the fields OF freshly plowed
land, and I said to myself: 1t will be Il
long time before cotton seed will sprout
and show up I'm a bed of dust but the
gentle shower will now raise the mois-
ture and the young sprouts will soon
show up green on the long cotton rows.
This little shower is like the most of our
Heavenly Fathers constant blessings
quiet, gentle and too often unnoticed.
They come when we need them most, and
in the best possible way for us, who are
ignorant and cannot see even one day
ahead without His overruling mercies.
about and around us.

Bring Down the Pullman
Charles

Enough or good thing is enough,
SAYS the old proverb, and the Pullman
coaches have been raking in the cash for
a long time with both arms up TO the
elbows in the pockets OF the travelling
public
A little narrow bed, with two weakly
little pillows, two narrow little sheets
and a small pair of blankets costs the
traveller 50 for every night that he uses
them, and nearly as much for daytime
privileges, and that must be added 10
his railroad ticket, which makes luxurl-
Gus travel costly.
The Pullman company doubtless has
valuable patent on sleeping cars. but they
have had it a long time. and their reve-
nues are so enormous that the interstate
commerce commission is discussing the
necessity for a reduction as to prices.
and I hope the reduction will be order
ed very soon.
Not that / anticipate any benefit to
myself, as my travelling days are linn
tied, of necessity, but an overcharge is
always a bad thing and will bring a re-
action. sooner or later. / have also
thought that the close berths should
have better ventilation, especially in
summer Those pent up places cannot be
we'll aired while the cars are on the
route, and the revenues are so large
that they are not long idle at any point.
Just think of a berth that has held a
diseased person night and day for a
long trip, and what might happen when
a newcomer goes into the same sleeping
quarters, with only clean sheets and pill
low cases?
Why no have some woven wire effects
and sanitary mattresses along with
cheaper rates?
