PERSIAN LORE ABOUT ROSE
Nightingale Sings His Frenzied LcsH
for that Flower and Dies
Beneath Rosebush.

Persian legendary lore tells some
fanciful stories about the rose which
have great poetic charm. For example,
the poet Altar wrote "The Book of tho
Nightingale" telling how all the other
birds appeared in anger before the
throne of Solomon, asking him to de-
stroy the nightingale, which would not
allow them to rest by night, but pour
ed forth it's lays when peaceful 81
lence should rein all over the earth.
After prolonged argument the bird was
acquitted, for it explained with such
pathos that it's untimely melody could
not be restrained because of its fren-
zied love for the rose, passion so
hopeless and undying that it could
never be made voiceless. Another
Persian belief is that nightingales al
ways die beneath rose bushes, stupe-
fled by the scent. jamie, a Persian
poet, wrote Of how "the first rose ap-
peared In Gulistan at the time the
flowers demanded new sovereign
from Allah, because the drowsy lotus
would slumber at night. At first the
maiden queen blossom was shown
white, and encircled with protecting
guard Of thorns,- but the poer night
gale fell into such an ecstasy of love
over her charms, and so recklessly
pressed his lovelorn heart against
those cruel thorns, that his blood, so
far as it could trickle into the flowers
bosom dyed 1t crimsOn" -
Another fancy states that the Per-
fume of the rose was gained from a
cup of nectar thrown over it by the
little god Cupid, while its thorns were
those stings Of bees used by him
as arrows in his wrath at finding
some roses scentless after all his
trouble. .-- ~. I'll.
The beds of the Shahs of Persia in
ancient times were filed with rose
petals, which had to be often scattered

the saying: "He would complain Of
a bed of roses" It was also claim.

Educational Progress.

In the decade 1s00-191o greater
progress was made In educational

YOUR GRAY HAIRS
QUICKLY VANISH
A Hal mless Remedy, Made From
Garden Sage, Restores Color to
Gray Hair. II

A feeling Of sadness accompanies
the discovery Of the first gray hairs,
which, unfortunately, are looked up
on as heralds of advancing age. Gray
hairs, however, are not always an
indication of advancing age, for
many people have gray hairs quite
early in life. OF course it is unna-
tural,. and indicates that there is
something wrong with the individ-
ual, and that Nature needs assist
ance in correcting the trouble. The
same is true of hair that is constant
ly falling out and becoming thinner
every day. If everything is right
with Nature, the hair, even in COM
paratively elderly people, should be
long, thick and glossy, without even
a streak of gray.
The ideal assistant to Nature in
restoring and preserving the hair is
Wyeth's Sage and Sulphur Hair
Remedy, a clean and wholesome
dressing for daily use. It not only
removes dandruff, but strengthens
weak, thin and falling hair and pro-
notes its growth. A few applica-
tions will restore faded or gray hair
to it's natural color.

strict and accurate account of all you
receive and all you disburse. It will
show what you save and what you
squander, what you spend foolishly
and what you spend wisely, where
you should spread out and where you
should retrench, what you waste and
how you waste it

MANAGING HIS OWN AFFAIRS
In Successful Farming and FaFmero'
Movements Every Man Must Work
Out Own Salvation.

To the Officers and Members of the
Farmers Union:
Did you ever hear the good old ex.
horters and revivalists tell you that
you must work out your own saliva
ton? @
Well, the same principle applies to
successful farming, and TO the sue
cess Of farmers organizations In Sc
curing the reforms for which they are
contending by legislation, and with
their own ranks.
There's no such thing as enlisting
in the battle of life and then paying
substitute. If you do,eyou'll either
have to be satisfied with short ra-
tions or wake up some morning and
find that the substitute has walked
off with the bacon, the Carnegie med
al and the laurel wreath. 1t would be
just like you then, to growl that the
world had given you a"cold deal"
l lay it down as broad, first princi-
pie that we've got to learn to manage
our own affairs, whether on the farm
or within the organization, before the
world takes us with the degree Of Sc
riousness our numbers and our i'm
portance to the world really justif1es.
If you demand of your representa-
tive, for instance, that he vote for the
recall or trimming the New York cot
ton exchange, and he passes your
place and sees the chimney tumbling
down, weeds in your fields, and just a
few razor-backs roofing around, he
isn't apt to get busy and obey your
orders.
II you elect as your Farmers union
officials, or the president of some
union enterprise, some oily, smiling,
hand-shaking, baby-kissing brother,
just because he is these things, rather
than for the fact that he has proved
himself a good farmer, a good busi-
ness man and a good leader of men,
you are evading your share of per-
sonal responsibility, and you have no
right to complain If things hit the
ceiling. Or if you get into the halle
lujah-lick at a meeting and promise
to support almost any old enterprise
suggested, and then go home and for
get all about it, you needn't come
around with the hypocritical criticism
that there isn't anything in a farm
ers' organization" and that you're
not getting your moneys,sRworth.
These are just few instances OF
the need Of exerting personal respon-
sibility, il you succeed in your own
affairs, and if you would have this
organization achieve the ends for
which it was founded It is we'll to
remember them at the beginning Of
the new year.

@EWHY SHOULD / USE -
CUTlCURA SOAP?''

There is nothing the matter with
my skin. and thought Cuticura Soap
was only for SKI latroubles.' True, it
is for skin troubles, but its great mis-
sion is to prevent skin troubles. For
more than a generation it's delicate
emollient and prophylactic properties
have rendered 1t the standard for this
purpose, while its extreme purity and
refreshing fragrance give to it all the
advantages of the best of toilet soaps.
1t is also invaluable in keeping the
hands soft and white, the hair live
and glossy, and the scalp free from
dandruf and irritation.
While its first cost is a few cents
more than that of ordinary toilet
soaps, 1t is prepared with such care
and of such materials, that 1t wears
to a wafer, often outlasting several
cakes Of other soap, and making its
use, in practice, most economical.
Cuticura Soap is sold by druggists and
dealers everywhere, but the truth OF
these claims may be demonstrated
without cost by sending to "Cuticura,' .

COOPERATION In NEBRASKA
Farmers Congress Adopts Resolution
Favoring Plan for System OF
Agricultural Credit.

At a recent meeting of the Nebras.
ka Farmers Congress, held at Omaha,
the following resolution was adopted:
whereas, After 800 years of the
American system Of agriculture, in
the last so years of which millions
upon millions Of dollars have been
expended for higher agricultural edu-
cation and agricultural experiments,
the advance reports Of the united cen
sus show conclusively that the proper
ton of rural to urban population is
decreasing, and, e.
.Whereas, The average yields Of
the great food staples in the United
States are only a fraction Of the po-
tential possibilities Of the soil, as Is
demonstrated by the much greater
yields in the leading European coun-
tries, followed in those countries by
an increase in land ownership and de-
crease in tenantry, proving conclu-
sively that the care Of the land and
the contentment Of the people so that
they will remain on the land are prob
lens which must be solved rightly, II
the bread-basket of the nation Is to
be kept filled, and,
Whereas, Great progress has been
made in some Of the countries of Eu-
rope, and particularly in Germany, in
the solution Of these problems
through system Of cooperative agri-
cultural credits, and,
whereas, The International Insti-
tute of Agriculture representative Of
40 governments Of which the United
States is one, has rendered it's as
sistance to the farmers of Nebraska
in the study and solution of this prob
lem; therefore,
BE it Resolved, That this congress
create committee of seven to devise
and formulate a system of co-opera-
tive agricultural credit for the farm
ers of Nebraska and report upon this
plan at the next annual meeting of
this body.

HEALTH FOR THE CHILD.

The careful mother, watching close.
ly the physical peculiarities of her
children, soon learns that health is in
a great measure dependent upon nor
NAL, healthy, regular bowel action.
When the bowels are inactive, loss of
appetite, restlessness during sleep, ir-
ritability and dozen and one similar
evidences of physical disorder are soon
apparent.
Keep the bowels free and clear and
good health Is assured. At the first
sign of constipation give the child a
teaspoonful Of DR.. CaldWell's Syrup
Pepsin at bedtime and repeat the
dose the following night, if necessary.
You will find the child will quickly re-
cover its accustomed good spirits, and
eat and sleep normally.
DR.. Caldwell's Syrup Pepsin is far
preferable to salts cathartics and
purgative waters which are harsh in
their action. Syrup Pepsin acts on
the bowels easily and naturally, yet
positively, and causes no gripping or
discomfort. It's tonic properties build
up the stomach, liver and bowels, re-
storing their normal condition.
Druggists everywhere sell Dr. Cald-
wells Syrup Pepsin in soc and s1.00
bottles. II you have never tried this
remedy, send for sample to DR.. w.

Acme of Laziness,

neighbors finally decided to bury him

man who asked what they were
doing with that man.
HE won't work, and he has nothing
to eat, SO we are taking him to the
cemetery to bury him alive" was the
reply.
Touched with pity, the stranger
said:
Friends, / have a sack Of corn
here that he is welcome to"
Hearing this, the lazy man raised
his head long enough to inquire:
els it shelled?''

man, as his head disappeared from
view.
