situated a famous little sheet Of water.

its name.

Another interesting fact about this body
Of water is that. although only about 20
feet across ia any direction, il has never

The Soma OF the Storm.

1t rains, but on a dripping bOugh
A little bird sings clear and sweet,
| think he knows not why or how,
Except that with his slender feet
He feels dear natures pulses beat.
The wind, uprising, stirs the tree,
And fast with silver tears it WeepS,
The little bird more cheerily
Pipes with his slender throat and
keeps \
His faith in sunshine, though it
sleeps.
There swings his pretty nest below,
His mate sits listening to his song,
'Tis love that makes her bosom glow
It's love that whispers all day long,
sleep, sleep, my nestlings and grow
strong"
All, dreary sky, and dripping tree,
And wind that sobbest in the wood,
Know we'll if anywhere love be,
She hath the sunshine in her hood,
For everything to love is good.

1t is not too late to put out bed
ding plants nor even young roses.
Among the bedding plants salvias
are always desirable and every
flower lover should have. a bed of
asters. Aster seed should be sOWn
at intervals of two weeks for a sue
cession of blooms. Never. let the
plants suffer for cultivation. Chry-
santhemums should be taken in
hand. Disbudding will induce
branching and give larger flowers.
This is also the time to put out

out a cutting that is hard and
woody.
Sweet peas and daisies will be
more vigorous if little nitrate OF
soda is given them. Bone meal used

WUCdroW Wilson.

The Nom" Independent observes
that the mo- remarkable feature OF
the pre-cOnvt2tion campaign in the
Democratic party thus far is the
fact that only one candidate has de
veloped any but purely local
strength. Mr.. Underwood is the
choice of his home State of Alabama
and indeed is a candidate only in a
few neighboring States. Governor
Harmon has as yet developed no
strong following in any section.
Speaker Clark has carried his own
State and several States immediate
ly contiguous to it, but has won no
battles elsewhere. In Massachusetts
and California, where the speakers
managers claim they are in control
of the situation, it is not Clark but
Hearst who is the real candidate.
Mr.. Clark's expression of gratitude
to Mr.. Hearst for the support of the
Hearst Chicago papers in the IL
linois fight expressly mentioned
both Massachusetts and California.
In these two States the hand is the
hand of Clark, but the voice is the
voice of Hearst.
Governor Wilson alone has devel-
oped strength in all sections of the
country. He won the majority OF
the Maine delegates in New Eng
land: he has carried Oregon on the
Pacific coast: he has won in Wis
consin the Middle West, Pennsyl-
in the Atlantic East, and already Is
assured of the major portion Of the
| South.
The knowledge that Governor
Wilson is the only candidate who
can win in November, no matter
whom the Republicans nominate, Is
bringing to the standard Of the New
Jersey leader many men who, for
personal reasons or out OF lOca.
pride. have heretofore favored other
aspirants.
The sweep Of the Wilson success
has already demonstrated that the
Democratic voters love a fighter
and that they prefer man who vii
be a candidate in all parts OF the
Nation to those candidates who dl
vide up the territory and seek tt
gain advantage by pooling their sew
eral local foIlowings, realizing tina
they are individually too weak to at
tempt nationwide campaign.

Of Interest
ss*s* Bv m. +. u. 4*@sss

Last month with its awful recital
of worldwide disasters, a quiet life
let loose its mOOrings from earth
and passed out into the great be
yOnd. Briefly the news came that
Clara Barton, founder of the Red
Cross Society, was dead. She had
lived to see the Red Cross badge re-
cognized, protected and honOred in
every civilized land and by every
civilized government,
Clara Barton was of good old Rev
dictionary stock. Her father, Steph-
en- Barton, had fought under Mad
Anthony" Wayne, against the In
dams. From him she learned of the
cruelties of war and the desire grew
upon her to do what she could to re-
lieve suffering. For years she was a
public school teacher, later she es-
tablished a school of her own at
Bordentown, n. J., which soon had
900 pupils. Later she accepted
place in the patent office at Wash
ington which she gave up at the
outbreak of the Civil War, in order
to devote her time to the care OF the
wounded soldiers. She remained
with the Army of Virginia during
nearly the entire period of the war.
In 1864 General Butler appointed
her head nurse of all the hospitals
in the army of the James.
All of her relief work was con-
Quoted independently of any organi-
cation until the Red Gross was
founded in 1881. Wherever in the
world there is widespread suffering,
these these noble women are seen
with the Red Gross on their arms,
respected and protected by all. Not
only in war but in pestilence and
famine, on the borders Of forest
fires and river floods or following
the earthquake and the cOnflagra
ton, and hurricane the members OF
Clara Barton's society are found do
ing their works of kindness and
mercy.
Clarissa Harlowe Barton was born
at Oxford Mass, on Christmas Day
1924, she was therefore 81 years Of
age. She lived to see nations rise
and fall, the earth explored from
pole to pole, magnificent palace cars
supplant the stage coach, palatial
ocean steamers take the place of
sailing vessels and airships pro-
nounced success. Miss Barton lived
in century of achievements, and
was herself wonderful product of
that century in noble and successful
endeavor.
