A Comrades Prayer

Tvs On Virgnin's battlefield
\ soldier dying lay,
His thoughts were on his cottage home
Beside the Chesapeake Bay.
4 conrade knet beside him
To hear his last request,
10 bear his lifelcss form az lin
On the old by shore to r"st.
The dying soldier whispered,
As ne took th"t comrades hand,
And said, Il never more shall see
The shores of Maryland"
Take parting word and token
To those III see no more
Amid the clustering woodbines
Along the old by shore.
Speak gently to my mother, comrade,
! was her pride and joy,
And oh her tender heart will break
For her lost soldier boy;
60 Soothe her bitter anguish,
And tell her that / died
Rejoicing tn she taught me young
To take my countrys side.
And yet. there is another comrade,
So beautiful and fair
The purest of earth's angels,
With sunny golden hair;
| know that she will weep for me
Along the old bay shore;
I'll meet her on the blissful plains
Where parting is no more.
Then bear me back again, comrade,
BY ny fathers grave-to sleep,
And the maiden fair, with golden hair
Ger her soldiers grave may weep:
Take. take me to my bay shore home,
And lay me calmly down
Beneath the dropping willow tree
In our pleasant church-yard ground.
Bear me gently back, comrade,
Where | spent my childhood hours,
Amid the pleasant woodbine shades
And Maryland's sunny bowers
lis there long to rest
When my youthful course is done,
That my mother dear may shed a tear
Ger the grave Of her only son.
His lips grew mute and ceased to speak.
The spark of life had fled.
The soldier from bright Chesapeake
On the BATTLEFIELD was dead.
The bright moon rose up slowly
And steered her course away
To shine upon his distant horne
On the shores of the Chesapeake Bay.

MUCH CONFUSION IN NAMES
Bureau Of Plant industry Endeayoring
to Correct List Of Our Fruits
and Vegetables.

One of the offices of the bureau Of
plant industry Is concerned In naming
fruits and vegetables correctly. It Is
the privilege of anyone having an un-
known variety Of fruit or vegetable
to send specimens to this Office to be
identified. This work is done abso-
lutely without cost to the sender.
The Importance OF naming varieties
correctly is not realized until the gen
eral confusion which results to the
truck growers, fruit growers and farm
ers from incorrect naming is consid-
cred. In great many cases one va
riety OF vegetable is sold under great
many names. For instance, of 800 va
rieties Of cabbage listed, there are
really not more than ten varieties.
The same condition prevails through.
out the entire vegetable kingdom.
Any grower of fruit or vegetables
who wishes to send specimens and re.
ceive information regarding their right
names may advise the bureau of plant
industry at Washington, beforehand,
and he will be supplied with a suitable
mailing box, which may be returned,
containing the specimen, without post
age.

Put That Pain to Use

The network Of nerves in your body,
like the network Of wires in a burglar
alarm system, gives quick warning
when anything is going wrong inside.
Looking at it in this way a pain is
a useful alarm, Now, kidney weak
ness is dangerous thing condition
not to be negIected-and it is wise
to know and pay attention to the early
alarm signals of sick kidneys.
Backache is a common warning of
congestion or Inflammation in the kid
neys., 1t may be dull, nagging pain, or
a sharp twinge when STOPPING or lift
ing. There are likely to be disorders
Of urination, dizziness. headaches, and
drowsy, respondent, tired feelings.
1t is very hard to strengthen weak
kidneys at first, but neglect invites
rheumatic or neuralgia attacks, gravel,
dropsy, and fatal Bright's disease.
AS special medicine for weak kid
neys Doan's Kidney Pills have been
used for years all over the civilized
world, and surely are considered reli-
able. The patient can always help the
medicine immensely, however, by diet
ing lightly, using little or no liquor,
tea or coffee, keeping regular hours
and drinking lots Of pure water.

SOME TERRIBLE WAR BILLS
That Of the United States Govern
nent Heads the List in
Point Of Size.

The wars of Napoleon in 13 years
cost France 81, 900 900, 900, writes Wen
dell Phillips Dodge in Leslie's. Our
Civil war expenditure of the federal
government was $3,400,0O0, 900. near
ly thirteen times as much a year
as Napoleon's. The Franco-German
war cost France $1,5S0.00O,O be-
sides an added war indemnity of ST.
100000, 900. This same great war,
which lasted only. 100 days. cost Ger
many $3.50, 100000 for an average
fighting force of 1,250.OOO men. The
other big European war Of the past
half century, the Russo Turkish war,
cost Russia $7S6, 100000, but she had
two years fighting for her money.
The war in the far East cost Japan
$3.50 100000 and Russia $723,O00, 900,
not counting lost ships. Only toward
the end had either side anything like
million men in the field. Italy's
little war with Turkey cost 100000 a
day. allowing for mere 10000 fight
ing men; and the Boer war, in which
England's army averaged 100000, cost
81, ,055, 900, 900 in two and half years.
