Lost Her Ticket to Heaven.

The Atchison (Kans.) Globe
tells of pathetic sight on Main
street the other morning, An old
and poorly dressed colored woman
was in frenzy of grief; she walked
up and down the street moaning
and wringing her hands and search
ing for something she had lost.
When asked what her trouble was,
she walled that she had lost her
ticket to heaven" She explained
that in her church each member
paid a certain sum of money and
was given such a ticket. This old
colored woman believed implicitly
in the power of her ticket; to her it
represented a berth in heaven. She
had paid for it with hours of back
breaking labor.

Bravery.
Be Brave!

Be Brave!
The day will dawn, however dark
the night:
The right will win, however fierce
the fight;
The end is sure, however far from
sight.
Not ours to shirk or shrink, to doubt
or dread;
Not ours to turn from hardships
seen ahead;
Not ours to falter; whereso'er we're
Be Brave!
The road will brighter grow through
out Its length;
The load will lighter grow through
added strength;
The goad will turn to helpful staff
at lenehth.
Be Brave!
With Crown Of thorns Truth still
adorns her own;
On scaffold, cross and eibbet rears
her throne;
Her altar stands where each must
stand alone.
Be Brave!
The coward lives and dies an alb
ject slave;
The fearful is a tyrant, fool and
knave;
Omnipotence is only with the brave.

Harley Williams had % acres of
wheat that made 35 IL bu., per
acre. 1t is of interest to note that
the ground on which this crop grew
was considered worn out ten years
ago;lt would not grow a satisfactory
crop of anything. A combination
of wheat. bone meal, and clover,
with a limited quantity of stable
manure, has worked wonders with
the land. Our prairie soil responds
remarkably to good treatment.
There is no soil that can be built

Ten years of the very best treat

DOGS LIFE t. SAVE CHICKS

Pottsvilfe, Pa.-When Mrs. Robert
Helms went to the chicken coop to
see why her fowls we're making an
unwonted noise. she found that q
four-foot copperhead had coiled up in
the yard and was giving battle to a
dog, which had driven the reptile away
from a half-devou. ed chicken.
She endeavored to strike 1t with a
broom when the snake made q thrust
at her, narrowly missing. Her screams
brought men from their work near
by, and they soon killed the snake.
The dog was victim of the fangs
of the reptile. and will likely die from
the poison. which he endeavored In
vain to lick from his wounds.
