As l am sitting here in silence, vision
Comes to me,
The memory of dear tue face, as but

Come from thee.
And this is what I'll whisper thru a
Vision that see.

When the roses bloom again I'll be with you.
When the water-Iilies in the moonlight

And the daisies wet with dew, sparkle
In the sunlight too,
When the roses bloom again I'll be with
You

Temptations lure to rule
With her help I'll win the victory to the
Right side of the goal.
And from there straight path always,

And these sweet words I'll whisper to my
Dixie queen, the jewel.

Canning of Fruit Juices.

In order to can fruit juices, the
first important thing to provide is a
fruit press, cider mill or some kind
of a continuance or device which will
make it easy and practical to press
the juice from the fruit
In most cases the canning of fruit
juices or strilization can be accom-
plished in very much the same way
as the canning of the fruit itself, ex.
cept in preliminary steps and in the
methods of rinsing, scalding, peel
ing and in a slight difference in the
amount of time required. Fruit jul
ces, as a rule, will not stand as mucl
cooking without the danger of des
troying the natural fruit flavor.

Rev. Lackland's Address.

Rev. G. S. Lakeland, of DEBORAH,
gave the Fourth of July address at
Lime Springs, and the Sun-Herald
has the following to say of the ad-
dress:
The parade was started from the
school building and after a circuit of
the city returned there for the music
and address. Unfortunately the di-
rection of the wind and the position
of the platform made it difficult
speaking, so after the quartet had
given a couple of numbers which
were very we'll received and the
prayer the crowd was reversed. The
Rev. G. s. Lakeland of DEBORAH, the
had been standing back of the crowd
but was now in front and immedi-
ately made a hit by saying that he
had accomplished good many
things with an audience ut had new
er turned one inside out before The
new position gave him every advan-
tage with the wind and everyone was
able to hear easily every word of the
excellent address. He spoke upon
the question 1.-THE Final Test of De-
mocracy." He gave many illustra-
tions throughout, giving force and
point to his message and held the
attention of everyone. His message
made cooperation this final test If
it could not be worked out in the
various vocations of life Democracy
must fail. He gave many examples
to show how the principle was sue
ceeding. In education, in industry,
in religion, and among farmers. The
principle was shown in nature and
must be adopted by every organized
life for its highest success. The au-
dience gave frequent expression to
its pleasure in the address and has
since given verbal testimony to its
satisfaction, saying 1T was the best
thing of the whole day" We will
welcome Lakeland" again.

Saturday night. They broke into

about a burglary. Iowa has received

HE WENT TO THE CIRCUS.
The Fable of the Anti-Circus Advu.
cate and the Children.

Once upon a time, at the populous
crossing of two railroads, there dwelt
man who belched forth large clouds
| of fiery diction, whenever a circus
was mentioned He swore at the
city dads who granted the license,
, raved at the men who owned the va
cant lots where the stupendous spec
tacles exhibited, and expressed all
sorts of picturesque opinions of
the fools who patronized the ticket
wagons. But the managers of the
circuses never heard of the objec-
tions, and as regularly as the sea-
son came round, they made the city
visit When the afternoon perfor-
mances begun, the old Anti" was
invariably found in front seat, with
half dozen small children around
He was generally so spell-bound by
the more or less melodious strains
produced by the ten-piece band that
he failed to notice that five of the
youngsters were asleep. When the
little lady in pink tights turned a
flip-flop on the back of an old grey
horse, he applauded heartily, and
when Mile. Something-or-other made
her daring slide, suspended by her
teeth, he held his breath. And he al
ways laughed boistrously when the
long slender clown soaked the little
fat one with a stuffed club.
When the shows were over, this
old anti would awake the youngsters
buy them a schooner of pink lemon
ade and package of popcorn, and
take them home. And next day, if
an old acquaintance CHANGED to ask
him how he liked the show, he would
reply: Il didn't want to go to the
blame thing, but somebody had to
take the kids

Suggestions for Gaining Flesh.

To gain flesh take plenty of olive
OIL eat eggs, butter, cereals and fatty
broths, potatoes, peas, beans, corn,
carrots and parsnips, figs, dates,
nuts, bananas, underdone beefsteak
and roast beef. Drink plenty OF milk,
cream and cocoa. Avoid food that
will not digest easily, and be care
full to masticate thoroughly what
you do eat. Give up the pickles,
vinegar and all acids. Exercise freely
in the open air, and take plenty OF
sleep. Don't fret or worry; this will
keep one thin more than anything
else. Cultivate an easy-going dispo-
sition if you possibly can.

claim to being the richest town in

We haven't figured it out, but We

richer than DEBORAH. The combined
deposits of the Ossian banks is a
million or better, and Ossian's popu-

Electric Plants For Farms
Engineering College Students Make Model of Complete System Use-
 full For Detached Houses.

A complete electric light ana power plant small enough to stand on kitchen table and complete enough to light the surrounding ter ritory, was one of the exhibits made by the engineering students of High land Park college, Des Moines, Iowa, recently.
 A little steam engine which. though small, was run with pressure of from forty to eighty pounds was connected to an electric generator from which ran a transmission line of copper wire. At the other end of this line were a number of miniature electric lamps, motors and even an X-ray machine operated by the cur rent from the miniature power plant.
 More skill Is required to make these miniature electrical fnstalIa- ttons than to make them life size, but the work was all done by students oG Highland Park college of engineer ing An important feature of this miniature plant is, that it may be used as a model for larger plants spe- cia11y adapted for use on farms, and in small towns and country resi- dences.
