THE DESERT

I am the spirit of days despair.
 The ghost of the midnight's fears, I have barred my breast the suns fierce ze Through the fire of a million years. Grim, in the beat of the noortides heat
 And in the light or stars. The mountains stand my borderlaud
 With the brand the torrents scars The wind that balm of the torrid air.
 The breeze that born bless Steals through the rifts in the canyons cliffs,
 With a touch that would fain c.reaa: But I spurn it's hand from my burning sand.
 And I fling it back again. It shrinks away from my scornfuI day.
 With moan like q thing in pain. The friendly streams rushing down
 From the cloud in the distant skies; greet with hiss their cooling kiss
 And their water shudders and dies Why should I think of the weakening drink.
 When the heights of my awful hills Have heard men gasp in their stifling clasp.
 Struck down by the thirst that kills? wield the power of mystery;
 l have my spell He may strive in vain; he will yield again
 To the strength of the deserts ban Afar from the strife and the stress of life,
 The din of it's violences. He has learned my laW-the compelling awe Of the earths great silences.

Currency Legislation

To reasonable and disinterested men, that is, to who interested in financial in stitutions, it appeared that time should be given such vital subject, involving revolution of the financial system of the country It feared that there enough experience behind the Glass owen bill. and that contained fancifuI theories. It many spects objectionable measure, but since then it's apparent defects have been removed.

in sweeping, scrubbing and busting,
her smile will probably not be genial
or her voice gentle when the small
boy forgets to wipe his shoes or take
off his rubbers. If, throughout the

or cooked foo over hot stove, it is
not probable that she will desire to
spend social evening with friends
at some distance from her home.

only comes up to it's usual standard
of excellence, but particularly in the
matter of descriptions and illustra-
tions.
The Lilly Company have, for the
past year Or so, engaged the service
of an expert to produce this catalog,
who is practical farmer and horti-
culturist.
This is certainly an advance in the
right direction, for it gives to the
farmer practical garden and farm
guide instead of pages of superfuous
and exaggerated descriptions, illus
trated with wood cuts of impossible
swine and nature taking flowers and
vegetables.
AS contrast to this sort of thing
the Lilly catalog is refreshing and
proves to be what is intended, namely,
a reference guide with authentic and
truthful descriptions illustrated with
beautiful reproductions from photo
graphs actually made from life.
Almost the entire 108 pages is devot-
ed to seeds because the other features
of their business are cataloged in
their Poultry Book, their Fertilizer
Book, their Crop Book, their Spray
Book and their Bee Book. Any or
all of these publications will be sent
to our readers on request by writing
