A Bible Riddle.


The following is riddle said to have
been composed by an elderly woman,
who was a constant Bible reader, when
merchant told her he would give her
new dress if she could compose rid
die about the Bible which he could not
solve. She got the dress. The answer
was not given in the paper from which
the poem is quoted, and is not known
at this office, but the article may fur
nish thought for busy brains.
God made Adams out of dust,
But thought it best to make me first;
So | was made before them,
TO answer Gods most holy plan.
My body God did make complete,
But without arms or hands or feet;
My ways and acts he did control,
But to my body gave no soul.
A living being | became,
And Adam gave to me name;
! from his presence then withdrew
And more of Adam never knew.
did my Makers laws obey,
anu IfoH Iiielu never went HSITbN
Thousands of miles | go in fear,
But seldom on the earth appear.
For purpose wise which God did see,
He put living soul in me;
A soul from me my God did claim
And took from me that soul again.
For when from me that soul had fled,
was the same as when first made;
And without hands or feet or soul
travel on from pole to pole
labor hard by day and night.
To fallen man | give great light;
Thousands of people, young and old,
VIII by my death great Light behold.
No right or wrong can / conceive;
The Scriptures / cannot believe;
Although my name therein is found,
They are to me an empty sound.
No fear of death can trouble me,
Real happiness | ne'er shall see;
To heaven | shall never go,
Or to the grave, or hell below.
Now when these lines YOU slowly read,
Go search the Bible with all speed;
For that my names recorded there,
honestly to you declare.
Youths Comrade.
Dorothy Dexter.

To Launder Summer Dress.

Put warm, soft water in a tub, add
tablespoonful of powdered borax to
every bucketful and rub enough soap in
it TO make a good suds. Wash the gar
ments until clean without rubbing any
soap directly upon them. Nothing is so
good for cleaning such fabrics as borax,
since it does not fade the delicate colors.
Rinse in warm water. Prepare a thin
boiled starch, dip the pieces in it and
hang them up in the shade to dry. A
brisk wind is liable to tear them, and
long exposure to sunshine viii fade
them. Dampen and roll the garments
two or three hours before ironing them.
Embroidery should be Strengthened out
and ironed on the wrong side Keep a
dish OF clear, cold water and soft
sponge or piece of linen at hand, so
that any spots that are too dry may be
dampened before ironing. Some materi-
ais look better when ironed on the
wrong side; others need the smooth fin
ish produced by ironing on the right
side. If the irons are rough, rub them
with piece of beeswaX tied in a cloth.

Is SOLDIERS KILLED
Over 100 Are Injured When
Train Jumps Track.
Enlisted Men Were Enroute to Missis-
sip-Alabama Fair at Meridian
Where They Were to Have
Given Drills.

Mobile, Ala.-At least 25 soldiers
were killed and more than 100 in
jured when a special train carrying
IT'S enlisted men Of the United States
coast artillery jumped the track on a
high trestle near here, according to a
report received by Assistant General
Manager M. ]. Wise of the Mobile e
Ohio railroad.
The train was special running as
the second section of a regular pas
senger train on the Mobile & Ohio
railroad. The soldiers were bound
from Fort Morgan for Meridian, Miss,
to give an exhibition drill at the Ala
bama-Mississippi state fair.
The wrecked cars are down in ra-
vine 60 feet deep and the suffering Of
the injured has been terrible, although
the soldiers who escaped injury have
done noble work. Every effort to OBJ
tain names of the dead has been futile
on account of the great distance from
railroad station. The trestle on
which the tran was wrecked was to-
tally destroyed.
The tender, baggage car and coaches
either followed the engine into the ra-
vine or rolled over a high embank-
ment that was the approach to the
| bridge.
Harvey E. Jones, the passenger
agent in charge of the train for the
railroad, was internally injured, and
S. r. Pruittk, the train conductor, had
both upper and lower jaws broken.
The officers on the train were Capts.
Taylor and Geer, the former in com
mand, and Lieuts. Edward Barlow
and Calvin M. Smith.
The men were the crack members
of their respective companies, having
been chosen for their excellence in
drill and other maneuvers.
