September q, 1870, to Mary Keough.
On the 10Th of August, 1913, he
suffered stroke of paralysis, from
which he never fully recovered, and
although he has been an invalid since
that time, he never lost his CHEEKY
spirit even to the time of his death,
which had been expected for several
weeks.
Besides his wife, who has been con-
stantly at his side during the long
months of his illness, he leaves to
mourn his loss eight children; Mrs.
A. H. Brotherton of Forbes, Mrs. Ed

to rest in the Catholic cemetery here
God-fearing, and with love in his
heart for every living thing, Patrick
Whelan was a man whose loss will
be keenly felt by his many friends, al
of whom extend sympathy to his sor
rowing family.

Interesting Letter

The following beautiful letter was
written. sealed and handed to Second
Lieutenant H. Guion Dewey the day
the "boys" left Westminster for Camp
Emerson c. Warrington. at Laurel,
Maryland
Westminster, June 2ist, 1915.
Dear Boys of Co. H
AS ] watched you yesterday and to-
day, my mind went back to the days
of my very young childhood, when
watched, as the little "Kiddies" watch
ed you. in wonder and awe, the "boys"
who answered to the call in 1861-62
for they were boys then, these gray
haired veterans of today.
With the same spirit, the same en-
thusiasm, the same determination to
answer the call of duty and patriot
ism. But oh, how different! Then it
meant. not only the leaving home, and
loved ones, but the bitterness of Civil
War. brother against brother, father
against son, friend against friend.
Today, you the sons and grandsons
of these same "boys of 81" rally to
the call of your Country, but you go,
shoulder to shoulder, men from the
North, South, East and West, for the
honor of the Country We all love best,
against a common foe, and beneath
the same old starry banner, which has
never known defeat or dishonor.
Boys. we are proud of you! Our
hearts go with you, and our prayers
will follow wherever you may go. May
He whose Everlasting Arms are round
and about you, have you in His care
and keeping and bring you safely
home again.

MAY God be with you till We meet

allow the water TO drain off for other
wise the oats would rot.
Be sure that The oats you use for
sproUting are bright and heavy. Soak
them in warm water for about a day
before placing them in the trays, and
spread them out there to a depth of
an inch or ar inch and half. Sprinkle
them once a day with warm water. and
in a week or ten days they will be
ready for Use. Too much growth is
not advisable because after q certain
time they may mould or rot and they
will also lose much of that tenderness
that is so desirable. Bear in mind
that poor drainage in the trays aad
too much heat are things to guard
against in sprouting oats.
While SpTouted oats may be thrown
to older stock in a chunk. the birds

only the tons for feeding chicks cut

cheap green food for poultry and it

Other Green Foods.
Onions are considered a tonic Tor
poultry and their use in small guam
titles especially in the feeding of
chicks is to be recommended Beware
however, Of continuous and liberal
feeding OF onions as this will impart
an odor to both flesh and eggs.
For early spring pasture rye plant
ed in the fall makes good green food.
Rape is also used for poultry pas
ture and being hardy is especially
good for late fall feeding.
Lettuce is good chiefly to furnish
succulence for early brooder chicks
before other green are available.
Pumpkins can be used for poultry
in fall and early winter but they are

adventures upon land and sea and
listening with his ear to the ground
the better to hear the rumbles from
afar, arose saying to himself:
"Cortez! Who, then, is he to be a
worker of marvels which cannot do?
True, he has shaken the tree of con-
quest first and many golden apples
have fallen into his helmet, but in his
haste has he not left as many more
behind? I will follow in his steps,
and with much less trouble than be-
fell him gather those he has left be-

forgiveness and promised balm for
every heartache?"
The hopeless look from the faded
brown eyes answered even better than
his words, 'He is too late"
Tears were coursing down the cheek
of the younger man as he leaned over
the gatepost and whispered: "Could
I see" but something in the hard
face of the other arrested his words
and he did not finish.
For a moment of untold length both
stood in silence, and then the tracer
of imaginary lines moved from the
gateway, motioning the other inside.
ut might ease her last hours, and
then" He pointed toward the Sec
ton line down which the prodigal had
come, that will take you back to your
old haunts, wherever they may be;
that" pointing toward the south,
YOU'D best not take; it's not much
but a trail, and leads to God knows
where, but north or south, take one"
Hours later, as the village doctor
drew up before the house, the prodigal
emerged from the sickroom, and, TAX
ing his hat from the peg, strobe with
faltering step out into the gathering
twilight. At the road he halted a mo-
ment and stood with barred head, then
turned-sOuthward
Almost out Of sight Of his boyhood
home he hesitated and turned for one
last look. Suddenly the cracking of
footsteps in the stubble and the la
bored breathing of a man caught his
ear, and in a moment his father was
beside him, but how changed. The
face before so cold and hard was sof-
tened now with pity and compassion,
and from out the faded brown eyes
shone mingled hope and love and for
giveness. With hands clasped and
hearts receptive to the spirit of the
morrow, they stood, while the elder
whispered :"She will live come home"
and then two kneeling figures were
dimly silhouetted against the darken-
ing sky, while u prayer almost inaudi-
BILE assembled to the mercy seat.
He arose, and with his fathers arm
about him and the Christmas spirit fill
ing both their hearts, the prodigal
turned back from the road that led to
'God knows where
