POETRY
THE GHOST OF THE PAST

THE GHOST OF THE PAST. We two kept house. the Past and I,
 The Past and I; tended while it hoVered nigh, Leaving me never alone. It was a spectral housekeeping, Where fell no jarring tone, AS strange as still housekeeping As ever has been known. It dwelt with me just as it was,
 Just as it was When first tis prospects, gave me paua In wayward wanderings. Before the years had torn old troths As they tear all sweet things, Before gaunt griefs had, torn old trotm And dulled old rapturings. And then its form began to fade,
 Began to fade; Its gentle echoes faintlier played At eve upon my ear Than when the autumns look ene
 Drowned
 The lonely chambers here. The autumn's settling shades eup Nooks that it haunted near. And so with time my vision less,
 Yea, less and less, Makes of that Past my housemistress It dwindleS in my eye; It loOfS a far-off skeleton And not a comrade nigh. A f1tful far-off skeleton Dimming as days draw by. Thomas Hardy, in ''Satires of Cir
 cumStance"

Rev. F. w. Coleman and Methodist Choir Provide Memorial Service at Sheltering Arms-First Church Lee ture-Week End and Holiday Visit ors.

Rev. F. W. Coleman, pastor of Trim ity Methodist Episcopal church, gave most interesting Memorial day ad- dress at the Sheltering Arms Sunday afternoon. After reading the 139th Psalm, he said: Memorial day is full of memories for us all. We keep alive today the memory of the dead. The grave is the portal through which we all pass from faith to knowledge, from earthly stopping places to the eternal mansions far beyond thought and ex- pectation. We are here in peace and tranuiltty, this is due to those who gave their lives fifty years ago to keep our nation one. A nations greatness depends upon the humble, Christlike lives of it's people. While our nation is not as Christlike as 1t should be. 1t is sound at the core. Truth and right eousness give strength, their absence brings destruction. We should pray to be faithful and to be more and more a people after Gods own heart. As He has shilded us, may He do so in the future.
 Miss Lucy Blackburn was at the piano, and Mrs. William Grove in charge of the singing. The anthem, Lead Kindly Light, was given a beau tifuI rendering and the familiar hymns as sung by the girl choir were most inspiring. The members present were Miss Marietta Boyens. Misses Mildred, Mary and Maud Grove, Miss Helene Wulf and Miss Viola Seavey.

Lecture on Africa.

The illustrated lecture on Papan Africa given at 7.30 o'clock Sunday evening at the First Congregational chapel, was full of interest. Among the slides was one of the island where on a giant tree Livingstone had cut his initials. The only two modes of travel were shown: men carrying pas sengers swung in hammocks, and men on horseback. Schoolhouses so small that same of the classes were placed outside, and beautiful pictures of Vic toria Falls with the rainbow effect, were some of the most attractive views

John Hays Hymn Sung at First
 Church,

Sunday at the opening service of the First Congregational church the hymn written by John Hay in 1891, was suno by the choir; the stanza, Wher- ever Man Opposes Man, o Lord Be There, Thine Arm Made Bare. espe- cialIy fitted the memories of the day. Rev. G. H. Ewing took for the sub- ject of the morning discourse. Be Not Overcome of Evil But Overcome Evil with Good.
 Some of the thoughts suggested were: Life is a struggle for the sur vival of the right as against the wrong, in the past men have made the stu pendous blunder of overcoming evil with evil, the evil that is rampant in our land should be met by the good which exists, punishment in our pris- ons should be remedial. war is meth cd of carrying on on an immense scale the overcoming of evil with evil over come evil by diplomacy, by arbi- tration.
 In our Civil war soldiers needed the call of the nation and for these sol diers is honor today. By that love which overcomes evil this sinridden world of ours will yet be saved.

TO IDAHO RANGES
FORMER RESIDENT COMES TO
WAPELLo COUNTY TO BUY
PURE BRED CATTLE.

William Chisman, former resident
of Wapello county and well known in
these parts, but at present located at
Victor, Idaho, believes that Iowa rails
ed pure bred cattle is the best class
of stock that can be taken to the west
ern range and made the trip east to
get some of this stock. Seven bulls
from Wapello county were bought,
three Herefords from the Wilcox farm
near Blakesburg and four Shorthorns
from the Hillcrest farm Of w. B. Bon
nifield, Ottumwa. These bulls will be
sold by Mr.. Chisman, who says that
the present state law of Idaho forbids
the use Of grade bulls and demands
pure bred stock for the ranges. He
states that he will have no difficulty
in selling these animals among the
breeders. While on the trip in this
vicinity, he also bought pure bred
stallion at Mexico, Mo-, which he will
use on his own place. All of the AMI
mails have been shipped to Idaho.
While loading his stock here few
days ago Mr.. Chisman fell in the rail-
road yards and broke the bones in his
left forearm, but this did not deter
him from going ahead with his stock,
which he is DESTROYS of getting to
range as soon as possible.
