None heard in ali its ecstasy but we?
Would he now hear that whispered song,

If he came back who went so long ago?
There is no more trying time to
break in upon a tender courtship than
when a young woman who is engaged
and the marriage day set for soon
faces the calamity that the betrothed
is i'll and her loving care only will
save him. Until the hour when she
will hurry to be beside him she con-
stantly recalls his last words of devO-
ton. his bright look when they stood
in the doorway and he saw her eyes
dwell with tenderness on the glitter
ing ring upon her finger which marked
their betrot&al.
Could any force of circumstance be
more cruel than that which separated
them through sickness? The woman
who loved him better than all the
world is thrown into woeful, pitiful
unrest. her heart aching for him in
his helplessness; she knows he is
ever calling for her; watching wistful-
~ for her face among all others. In
his weakest sufferings, her name is
breathed on his lips. Love helps him
to bear up as nothing else could do.
She must come TO see him on his little
cot. no matter how many of his near
est and dearest friends gather about
him. His physician may be one of the
most skillful his nurse selected could
not have been better and yet one is
vitality lacking. for his sweetheart his
eyes are ever turning.

WearisOme, homesick feelings
should never be INDUCED in by those
who look on with eyes that pretend
to know it all. Girls are not inclined
to picture disappointments when love
is rosy and the future seems bright
and smiling. Rather, they turn to
those who enthuse in their admira-
ton, and clasp their hands in glad
anticipation that all will go well from

According to the members of the
French Commercial and Industrial
Mission, Of which Maurice Damour is
at the head, France is to spend $1,000
100000 in the United States on machin-
cry to reconstruct her industries, de-
stroyed or crippled by the war. The
commission arrived aboard the new
liner Lafayette. None of the money,
said M. Damour who posed especially
for this photograph aboad the vessel,
will be spent on ammunition. All will
be spent for agricultural, industrial
and commercial materials. While the
mission will not do any purchasing, it
will make arrangements for the pur-
chases, so that shipments may be
started as soon as there is definite
indications of approaching peace. M.
Damour is well known in New Orleans,
where he was the former French con-
sui general. He is secretary of the
committee of appropriations of the
French chamber of deputies.

TOWN OF GoRIZIA RESTING
PLACE OF ROYALTY.
Among Many Others, 1t Contains the
Tombs of Charles X and "Henry v"
of France-Known as "Aus-
trian Nice"


Mentioned almost daily in the war
dispatches from the Italo-Austrian
front, the little town of Gorilla has
gained considerable prominence OF
late
Besides being the center of impor-
tant military operations, Gorilla is of
interest because of its historic assO-
Citations. Lying between Venice and
Trieste, not far from the Adriatic, Go
rizia has a population of about 10000.
The town has been an Austrian pos
session for more than five centuries,
and its pleasant climate has earned it
the name of ''the Austrian Nice"
In the outskirts on hill is a Fran
ciscan monastery, the road to which is
marked by the 14-station way of the
cross. From the esplanade in front
of the monastery church an extensive
view of the surrounding country is OBJ
tanned
Below spreads the town, with the
ancient chateau of the counts of Co
rizia and the Villa Boeckmann, once
the winter residence of the count de
Chambord, towering over the less pre-
tentfous houses. A little further off
one can trace the capricious course of
the Isonzo river, the bed of which is
said to the the burial place of Atilla,
the Hun chieftain.
In the distance lies the Carso lime
stone plateau, sheltering the magnifi-
cent castles of Dunno, belonging to the
house of Hohenlowe, and Mirarnar,
which used to be the favorite resi-
dence of Archduke Macmillan, later
emperor of Mexico

In the little chapel of st. Louis, in
the right wing of the Franciscan
church, the bodies Of King Charles X
of France, the duke and duchess dan
gouleme and the duchess of Parma
had their resting place until 1888,
when they were removed to a large
vault under the high altar.
In this vault there are six sarcoph-
agi, three on each side of marble
crucifix, raised on a. high pedestal.
Charles X has the duke d'Angouleme
on his right and the duchess on his
left
In the other group the sarcophagus
of King Henry V (the count de Cham
bord) has been placed between those
of the countess de Chambord and the
duchess of Parma
On a black marble slab behind the
sarcophagus of the count de Cham
bord is the following inscription:
Here rests the high born and very
excellent Prince Henry, fifth of the
name, by the grace of God king of
France and Navarro. Born in Paris,
September 20, 1920. Died at Frohs-
dorf August "a, 1888"
Over his tomb is raised an immense
white banner emblazoned with the
royal fieur de lis, in compliance with
the order given by the count in his
manifesto. of July 5, 1871, where he
expressed wish that the standard
Of Henry ", of Francis l and of Joan

Worry Is Poison Disease.

Worry, like all other depressing
emotions, is poison, writes DR.. J. H.
kellogg of Battle Greek, Mich, in Good
Health.
1t is short circuit that burns out
the mental batteries and destroys the
power for useful activity.
1t is not merely habit; it is a real
disease; it is not merely the surrender
of the will to morbid fancies or mag
mary causes of anxiety-it is an &C
tual disease, a really physical state, as
real as indigestion, rheumatism or any

A HAND, NOT HEART, GIVEN.

Love comes to some with smiling eyes,
And comes with tears to some;
For some Love sings. for some Love
signs,
For some Loves lips are dumb.
It is just and understood that a
man should contemplate marriage
when he meets the right girl that ap-
peals to him. But before he takes her
for his bride, it is well that he should
fully realize if she is marrying him
for the sake of ease, fine home and
has in her mind that he shall accu-
mulate wealth.
If the lover is wise and far-seeing,
he will try his best to find out wheth-
er the coming union is to be one of
pure devOtion-an even exchange OF
hearts. When he is ready to give up
his cOzy, but small, bedroom at a
boarding place that has made him
feel at home for years, and take up
the responsibility of home fitting, he
considers that he and she will both
be benefited by the union.
The temptation comes to him to ex-
pend all that he possibly can, and he
often oversteps what he can afford.

his choice.
Most men are martyrs by choice to
their familys wants. They do not
mind how much they have to curtail,

sacrifices they have to make so long
as their loved ones are enjoying pleas
ure, happiness and contentment.
But if the wife is never satisfied
unless packing her trunk for an out
ing, or visit here and there, it is not
a great while until the rueful husband
will be practically homeless Friends
quietly make her understand that 1t
appears heartless and a trife selfish
to leave a husband by himself often,
when he is in need of home com
forts. One of her welded girl chums
writes her a few lines in letter tell
ing how happy her experience of just
a few years of matrimOny has turned
out to be- Il have my hubbys per-
mission to go away quite often she
concludes, but it does not seem right
to leave a man to the temptations Of
gay life, with no one about to guard
him against unwise Influences
This wife struck against the rock
which has ruined full many a happy
home. When a woman is run down in
health, or has children who would be
greatly benefited by a change of air
that might prevent sickness, we ali
know the course she adopts in leav-
ing her hearthstone a little while is
eminently praisewOrthy.
But the woman who has little to oc-
cupy her attention, month in and
month out, except to so to euchre
clubs and matinees to kill time in the
pursuit of pleasure while the husband
is shaving away to make money for
her maintenance has little if any need
for recreation. Pleasures of this kind
turn at last into scourges of dissatis-
faction. which lash after a time.
Plainly it can be supposed that she
had given her hand and not her heart.
This lays foundation for many sepa-

TREATING SHEEP FOR WORMS
Pasture Rotation, Combined With
Drugs, Is Practical Method Of Sue
cessfuIIy Combating Pest

The stomach worm is the worst pest
affecting sheep. Lambs are more sus
ceptible than older sheep, probably
because the older sheep are accus
toned to the presence Of the worm
In the spring, soon after lamblng, the
old sheep should each receive a dose
of one or two ounces of gasoline, fol-
lowed by a small dose Of epson salts
After a day or two they should h
placed in a worm-free pasture, If poS
sible.
In July treat the whole herd, inclua1
ing the lambs, with gasoline, and.
turn them into new pasture, and re
peat the process in November. PAY
ture rotation, combined with drug
that are injurious to the worms, ISL

GREAT WORK BY SCIENTISTS
Results of Research Have Been of I'm
nense Value to Farmers in Many
Different Branches.

Scientists have learned much about
soils and plants and animals. They
have classified the soils and know
about their crop adaptation The eff
fects Of manures, fertilizers, lime,
drainage and cultivation have been
studied. Varieties of the various
grains, grasses, legumes, fruits and
vegetables have been compared. The
production % fruit and vegetables de-
mands great skill.
Science has enabled the orchardist
and market gardener to combat sue
cessfully some of the worst funguses
and insect foes. In dairying and poul-
try husbandry the results of research
have immense value for practical men.
