"BILLY'S ROSE"
By Il. NObOdy

Surely the Mirror is forging ahead and giving
moral tone; and most surely it's editor is the
right man in the right place, else we should not
have gotten the rare treat given to us by the re-
printing of ''Blys Rose" We need not have
been told that young lady wrote this wonderful
bit of verse; No man could catch or hold the
tenderness contained therein. Little Nellie had
the faith that removes mountains, and the one who
gave her birth showed us quite plainly that there
is but step between pain and God. Yes, indeed,
it came to us like breath of country air.; like
the scent of a summer field at dawn, because
common occurrence had been robed in purple
What vivid picture of disappointment were the
lines showing Nellie hunting for rose among
frozen fields! What beautiful setting Nellie
knet to pray to teach us that even that little for
lorn bit of humanity had not lost the finest thing
in the world-Faith; faith that God to whom she
knelt would answer her prayer.
There is nothing to be ashamed of if we hold
an illusion or two; so when Nellie said: Thank
you. Saviour" we, too. believed that God got
busy and handed that maiden token of His
watchfuness.
The climax is beauty itself-we should like to
have written it:
'Billy's dead and gone to gloryso is Billys sister
Nell
Am bold, to say this happened in land where
angels dwell?
That the children met in heaven, after all their
earthly woes,
And that Nellie kissed her brother, saying, Billy,
here's your rose!'
The flower beauties of the lyric world are in
full blossom in that last stanza; the whole poem
honey sweet with fragrances of clean long ago
day.
The simple beauty of the poem will claim the
attention of all who love the highest and BEST and
it will grow yellow with age in many scrap-book.
The Duluth Herald and the Mirror has done it's
readers real service by putting such forceful
message-Bily's Rose-into their hearts. We
have benefited by it and should like to see more

CURIOUS FACT LITTLE KNOWN
But II Is Easily Possible for One to
Boil and Freeze Water at the
Same Time.

It Is q curious fact that water may
be boiled and frozen at the same time.
The temperature at which water boils
depends simply upon the air pressure
upon its surface. If there be high
pressure, the water must be rendered
a good deal hotter in order that it
may boil than would be the case at a
low pressure.
In mountainous regions, where the
air pressure is a good deal lower than
at sea level, water boils easily at a
low temperature. In cooking vege-
tables that require a certain degree Of
heat, when the water boils before that
degree of heat is attained, the vege-
tables will mot get done" Conse-
quently, they must be placed in a
closed boiler, SO that the generated
steam will create sufficient pressure
for the water to boil at or beyond the
required temperature.
In the experimental proof of this
fact the water is placed in vessel
and the air is exhausted from above
the surface of the water AS the proc
ess of pumping continues the water
will boil violently, the steam CONCEAL
ing on the sides of the exhaust vessel.
If the pumping Is continued for a suf-
ficient period, and the outside Is cooled
below the freezing point, the water will
continue to boil and bubble until 1t Is
frozen into a snowy mass Of Ice.
The fact is utilized in the estimation
of the height of mountains. Ordinarily
at sea level, where the pressure Is
about 80 inches of mercury, water boils
at 212 degrees Fahrenheit. Now, II
1t is noticed that at a certain place 1t
boils a few degrees lower. the height
of that place may be easily ascertained
by the comparison with table made
out for this purpose.
In general, for every degrsA the boil
ing takes place under 212, height OF
about 500 feet is counted. This prin'
ciple does not, of course, apply to wa
ter alone, but is characteristic of all
| liquids.

After the dance, Dick made good his

posed, urging his enterprise In coming
after her as one of his claims to con-
sideration; but Gail, laughing, and lik-
ing him tremendously, told him he was
too handsome to be married, and sent
him back home with fresh gardenia

THAT is delightful news" he re-
turned with frank enthusiasm which
was depressing to his mother.
Mrs. Boyd had nothing more to say.
She watched her son Tod start vigor-
ously at his grapefruit, with a vi
vacity which seemed to indicate that
he might finish with the rlnd. He
drew his eggs theoretically toward
him, buttered slice of toast, and fin
ished his breakfast. Suddenly he
looked at his watch.

What was the matter with Tod?
Rev. Smith Boyd sang as he went
out of the door, not tune or any set
musical form, but mere unconscious
testing of his voice. 1t was quite un-
usual for him to sing on the way to
Vedder court, for he devoted his time
to this portion of his duties because
he was Christian. He had sympa-
thy, more than enough, and he both
understood and pitied the people of
vedder court, but, in spite of all his
intense interest in the deplorable con-
dition of humanity's weak and help
less, he was compelled to confess to
himself that he loathed dirt.
Vedder court was particularly per

oily black sediment on its pavements
was streaked with iridescence, and

News reached here Sunday
morning of the death OF Nolen
Duff, who died Saturday night at
the county farm near Dresden.
He was brought to Old Concord,
Sunday, where funeral service
was held by Elder A. B. Ross,
after which the body was inferred
in the Concord cemetery. He had
suffered for three years with that
dreadful disease, consumption,
~ hS1 hao1 tct9iv hind since
he was fifteen years old, but had
always worked and made his own
living, until his health gave down.
Since that time he has been going
from place to place. He had
been with his sister, Mrs. Will
Jackson, of Swifton, Mo-, for
several months. About two weeks
ago he came back here and was
sent to the county farm, where
he lived. He was forty-three
years OF age and unmarried.

home Of Mr.. and Mrs. Homer

Veterinary Hospital Burns.

about 3 o'clock, while the town
was practically deserted, the male
population being out working the
roads, the large, well-equipped
veterinary hospital belonging to
Dresden's progressive, enterpris-
ing veterinarian, DR.. ]. B. L. Ter
rell, was burned to the ground,
entailing a loss above insurance
amounting to about $500. DR.. Ter
rel carried $500 insurance on the
building and 5000 on his stock of
drugs and his surgical instru-
ments. He lost 1925 worth of fine
instruments.
The fire was first discovered by
DR.. Terrell himself. He had just
driven into the hospital and heard
a report like unto an explosion and
about the same time a blaze shot
through the building. A second
explosion occurred and before DR..
Terrell could summon help the
whole interior OF the structure
was ablaze, burning rapidly.
Practically nothing was saved.
The building, being large
frame, made a hot fire, endanger-
ing the Baptist church and the
residence OF DR.. 7. W. Fields,
both on the opposite side Of the
street. Mr.. Jack Kirby procured
a fire extinguisher from the Enter
prise office and it was due to this
foresight on his part the church
was saved.
