Born in the year that the importation
Of slaves was abolished In this coun-
try, Mrs. Margaret Van Rensselaer,
celebrated her 10th birthday by re-
ceiving a score of relatives and firmly
declining the invitation Of each one to
go and live with them. She would
rather dwell alone in her little cottage,
from the windows Of which she has
watched the rise and fall of the pop
ularity OF this village as q watering
place, and tend her flowers and
chickens.
Say chickens to Mn. Van Rensse-

ridden invalid from tuberculosis and
diabetes, is today running about her
home. 204 Wildwood road. as though
she had never been i'll a day in her
life.
Miss KERN, who is a beautiful girl .
years old, had been given up to die by
81 doctors. Saturday they announced
that she would die before midnight.
Sunday morning h suddenly opened
her eyes. Her mother. ceaselessly
watchful beside the bed. bent over her:
Dolly, Dolly, do you know me?' she
asked.
"Of course I do. mamma replied the
girl. II am to get up. The angel told
me to. An angel from HEAVIER met me
at the gates Of heath and brought me
back"

And the girl did get up. seemingly I'M

downstairs. A friend of the family, an
atheist, at the sight of her, fell on his

Miss KERN has written to the London
Budget an open letter in reply to the
many queries she has received as to
her recovery.
In this letter she says:
II was conscious yesterday for tho
first time in several days. 1t seemed
to me that I was slipping out of life.
I heard the whispers and sobs and
prayers Of those who love me best.
Everything grew black. I did not even
think: I just drifted without an effort.

ness.
Suddenly I saw a light-dazzling-
brighter than I'M fire I had aver seen.
Stretched from out the great golden
flame I saw two hands. Then I heard
a sweet voice say clearly: Dorothy.

WILL Tu n DESERT
INTO VAST GARDEN
Turks Planning to Expend
Millions to Reclaim First
Field Of Wheat.

LONDON-The plans for turning the
desert regions Of Mesopotamia into an
agricultural paradise are being pushed
by the Turkish government in spite of
Its external troubles. The irrigation
scheme, which originated in the brain
Of Sir William Willcocks, will involve
the expenditure Of $3.50, 900, 900 before It
Is complete.
The dam which is to control the food
waters Of the river Euphrates is under
construction by q British company, and
the Turkish government IL now anxious
to proceed with the initial stages Of the
irrigation works.
The success Of the plan will enable
enough grain to be grown to affect the
cereal markets Of the world. In ancient
times the whole Of the European delta
was irrigated. and the rank growth of
grain excited the wonder of Greek
travellers.
According to the sometimes gracious
Herodotus. the Ian yielded three-hun-
dred-fold, n there Is no doubt tha. at
h time of the Greek historians visit
the delta wa the chief granary of the
world. But II tradition car be relied
upon. its fertility was of even greater
antiquity. for it was here that popular
belief located the Garden of Eden.
II is q matter Of history. moreover,
that from the delta, wheat found in its
wild and uncultivated state, was taken
and gradually transplanted all over the
world.
The land which gave birth to the
worlds staff of life il now a barren
waste threaded with the ruins Of the
great dykes and bitches built by the
ancient irrigation works was accom-
plished in the eleventh century by the
fOrebears Of the Turks. who are now
seeking their restoration.
