The Cheering Sun.

How cheering it is to see the sun
come out after days Of storm and
cloud. All the while the weather
is gloomy you know that the sun
will shine out again in his glory,
with fresh strength and life. 1t is
like a gift newly bestowed on the
earth.
So in life there come stormy
days and dark days, Remember
that they will pass Just as surely;
they cannot last forever. You are
disappointed in something, and per-
haps that particular wished-for joy
will never come to you. But it
may be that something just as good
is on the way. something even bet
ter, it may be. Sorrow and disap.
pointment are assuaged with time,
and other things enter into life that
make it good, even as the clouds
break up and float away and the
softer light shines through at sun
set. So there is always a worse
that might have been.
The dark DAYS are for introspec.
ton, for remembering that few
troubles are as heavy as they
seem. Sunny days, better things
are at hand that will come with
cheer and healing like the welcome
rays of the sun.-Milwaukee Jour-
nal,

Cancel the Unkind Words.

Some of the older boys and girls
have doubtless studied cancellation
in school. But there is another
kind of cancellation that can be
used by boys and girls of all ages.
For example, two boys were speak
ing of another boy:
He is so slow in games" said one
"Yes," replied the other, but he
always plays fair"
He is so stupid in school," said
the first boy.
But he always studied hard" an
sWered the second.
Thus, you see every unkind word
spoken by the first boy was cancell-
ed by kind word from the second.
Suppose that the next time we hear
an unkind word we try to cancel it
by putting a kind one in its place

Chairman Good Roads Committee
National Farmers Union.

No other citizen realizes the val
lie of good roads as does the farmer.
A community can safely be
judged by the kind of highways it
maintains.
The greatest chasm between the
producer and the consumer is the
mud hole.
Production must cease when the
transportation costs eat up the
profits.
There is something radically
wrong with the farmer who is op-
posed to good roads.
Without good roads, there can be
no development that will be perma-
nent and enduring
Bad roads keep children away
from school and impair the efficien-
cy of church work in a community
The elementary principles invol.
we'd in improved highways are Soc
ial and domestic happiness and
business economics.

In the death of precious mother,
have lost my dearest friend.
In this world there is no other
On whose love | can depend.
For her earnest prayers could
reach me
In the deepest depth OF sin,
And her words and tears beSeech
Inc,
Stirring all my powers within.
What a shame, while she was spar
ed me,
l her love and tears would spurn;
All the Joys of life she shared me,
Yet | would not yield and turn.
But l wandered down the valley
Strewn with drink and cards and
woe,
Till | had not strength to rally
had gone so far, you know.
How these awful thoughts have
stirred me
| with broken heart confess
That | shortened great her jour
ney--
Made her pleasures much the
less
Drove her to an early coffin
Forced her from this life to part,
All because my sins so often
Crushed her precious, loving heart
Yet for all this she forgave ME,
From bleeding heart of love,
Daily prayed the Lord to save me,
Fit me for the realms above.
And in answer to her pleading
have turned to live for God,
And her counsel am needing
Since she sleeps heneath the sod.
God in mercy has received me,
Freely pardoned me of all.
Yet how oft the past will grieve me,
AS the shadows DER me fall.
Young man blest with such a treas
ure
AS a mother kind and sweet,
Ere she dies be it your pleasure
Her suggestions all to meet.

When My Ship Comes In.

When My Ship Comes In.
Somewhere out on the blue seas
sailing,
Where the wild waves dance and
spin;
Beyond the reach of my eager hail
ing
Over the breakers din,
Out where the dark storm clouds
are drifting,
Out where the binding fog is lifting
Out where the treacherous sand is
shifting,
My ship is coming in!
Oh. I have watched til my eyes
were aching,
Day after weary day,
Oh, l have hoped til my heart was
breaking,
While the long night ebDed away.
Could but know where the storms
have tossed her,
Could but know what waves have
crossed her,
Could but know where the winds
had lost her,
Out in the twilight gray.
But though the storms her course
have altered,
Surely the port she'll win,
Never my faith in my ship has
falter'd,
know she is coming iu.
For through the restless ways of her
roaming,
Thro' the mad rush of the wild
waves foaming,
ThIo' the white crest of the pillows
Combing,
My ship is coming in.
Breasting the tides where the gulls
are flying,
Swiftly she's coming in;
Shadows and deeps and rocks de-
flying,
| Bravely she's coming in.
Precious the love she will bring to
| bless me,
Strong the arm she will bring to
careSs me,
In the proud purple OF kings she
will dress me,
My ship that is coming in.
White in the sunshine her sails will
be cleaning;
See, where my ship comes in!
At masthead and peak her colors
streaming,
Proudly she's coming in!
Love, Hope and Joy on her decks
are cheering,
Music will welcome her glad ap-
pearing,
And my heart will sing at her
stately nearing,
When my ship comes sailing in.

MADE BUSINESS
 FINDING HUSBANDS
Seattle SOOthsayer Arrested on the Charge of Fraud and Causing
 Couples to Get Divorce.

SEATTLE, Nov. 6.---Dr. Overton, psychic and soothsayer, has been ar rested charged with fraud and ob- taining money under false pretense. He is reported to have used his al- legged supernormal powers to profit and is believed to have secured thou sands of dollars from women in Se- attle and to have been the means of breaking up scores of homes by his frauds.
 Dr. Overton, 1t is charged by de- tectives, made a business of getting acquainted with wealthy women and convincing them that their husbands were untrue and offering through his supernormal powers to help them find their true soulmates, for which he charged fees ranging from several dollars to several thousands.
 The soothsayer has been practic- ing in Seattle for some time and has attained considerable following among the women who are mystically inclined and for whom he was SUD- posed to be using his great powers to assist them in,securing happiness with their soulmates. :,
 The police have been Investigating the frauds for some time but were unable to secure evidence upon which to base hopes of conviction until yes- terday when a husband, whose wife had come under the evil influence of the doctor, laid complaint. His wife had confessed that she had gained knowledge of his unfaithfulness through the psychic powers of Dr. Overton and that he had promised to help her find her true soul-mate.
