Music Language Of Soul.

The meaning of music goes deep. IL
is the universal language of the soul.
Where speech fails, song is only De
ginning. Music can make mems hearts
as steel in the face of battle, when
thousands are to be stricken down
and trampled into the earth, or it can
melt these same hearts to tender love
and make them tremble at a sweet
hearts whisper. Music can cleanse
the soul for worship, or it can de-
prave for the vilest orgies. 1t uplifts,
and it debases; it inspires to the high,
the sweet, the true, and it deadens TO
the gross and low, the vicious and the
heartless. Freedom and love and fldel-
ity and praise-words that illumine all
anguage-would be meaningless and
dead but for. the spirit tnstilled into
them by song.-Exchange.

OBITUARY..

Enoch Albert Blomstrom was born
in Sweden 40 years ago and died MOI
day morning, October Sth Of Car Ger
of the stomach
Mr.. Blomstrom came to this c1uh-
try u years ago and two years HIer
married Miss Anna Johnson OF So
vannah, Illinois. To this union were
born six children, four daughters and
two sons, Henry, Edith, Elsie, eva
Edna and Roy. Mr. Blomstrom was
member of the Christian Church and
a man beloved by all who knew him,
his neighbors always finding him a
real friend and neighbor.
Mr., and Mrs. Blomstrom came to
Idaho and built their home near Fruit
land 10 years ago Three years ago
they sold their home to A. l.. Kings
bury and moved to Cambridge, Idaho
whore they made many new friends.
Mr.. Blomstrom began to fail in
health last January Specialists were
consulted and everything done that
worse. Two weeks ago he was TAX
en- to a Boise hospital He was
very hopeful and cheerful thru all
his illness telling his wife the night
before his death that she must not
feel badly he would seen be wei.
The body was brought to Payette
Tuesday where the funeral was held
in the Christian Church, Rev. Cook

HIS POSITION NO SINECURE
Persian Poet Laureate Kept at Work
Immortallzlng the Speeches of
His Royal Master.

Persia appears to be the only coun-
try besides England where a poet
iaureate has been maintained of re-
cent years. Until Muzaffar-ed-Din
abolished the post in 1896 the court
of Teheran had for centuries pos
sessed a laureate, whose duties were
far more numerous than those of his
British confrere.
According to Narcisse Persin, who
spent some years in Persia at the
beginning of the nineteenth century.
court etiquette prescribed that
whenever the shah travelled outside
the capital his suite must include a
dwarf, giant, jester, historiog-
rapher and a poet laureate.
The last two were kept busy, for,
While the historiographer had to re-
cord for posterity all the doings and
sayings of the shah, the laureate was
called upon to celebrate large pro-
portion of these in verse. M. Persin
highly commends this custom, which
he found rigidly followed, "for the
shah, knowing that many of his ut
terances and deeds would be crystal
ized in an ode, felt bound, on these
royal progresses, to speak and behave
raiestically."

BIGGEST OF THE BIG GUNS
Giant Weapons of United States De.
Tending Panama Canal Shoot Pro-
jectiIes Weighing over Ton.

1t Is not easy to understand what
the power Of a gun really is-its pene-
trating and destructive power, OBJ
serves Popular Science. What we call
15-inch gun-which means one
whose muzzle or hollow part is 10
inches in diameter-will hurl shell
right through plate or wall of the
hardest steel u inches thick seven
miles from the muzzle. The power of
the very largest land guns ever made
the German howitzers or 1875 guns
lis such that one of their missiles
cracks open a steel and concrete fort
as If 1t were u nut.
There are two classes of guns
naval guns and army or land guns.
Because they can be manipulated more
easily than those of ship, land guns
are the heavier. From eight to ten
miles is the greatest distance that
gunner can cover successfully at sea-
The largest naval gun is the 15-lnch
English gun on the famous super
dreadnaught and the largest land gun
is the German howitZer. OF the two
the naval gun fires shell weighing
over half a ton, while the other fires a
projeetilc ton in weight. But the
new giant 16-inch guns of the United
States defending the Panama canal
and New York at Sandy Hook shoot
projectlles weighing 2,370 pounds,
which is over u ton. These immense
steel guns can sink ship before it
has really come into sight on the hori-
zon, the location of the battIeship hav-
ing been determined by airplane or
lower.

ODD THOUGHTS OF CHILDREN
There Is a Mental Region Into Which
the "Grownups" Have No Right
to Enter.

This is 3 region into which the
no key to turn the lock, says London
Spectator. Only now and then a flash
may disclose the inner recesses and
throw sudden light on an entirely
surprising line of thought. A child
frequently cherishes a theory of it's
own, which appears quite reasonable,
for the enchanted precincts within,
where the supernatural obtains as
ready an acceptance as the. common
place. A little thoughtful boy of my
acquaintance was asked the usual
question, what he was going to be.
He answered with great decision:
"Oh! a land agent of course, like dad
dy." And 1 think daddy" and the
land agency profession scored a COM
pliment.
Time does not exist for children,
who worry over no human limitations.
A little girl saying her hymn, There
Is green hill far away" was thrilled
to hear that her mother knew the lady
who wrote it. Then she repeated her
psalm, and added gravely: "And did
you know David, too?" The train of
thought is rather charming which led
a little boy, when told rot to mention
a guests amputated foot, to say: mo,
and when l get to heaven l won't say
anything to John the Baptist about his
head" Surely politeness could go no
=,
mental image is conjured up in the
child's mind from that suggested by
the grownup story teller. One mother,
recounting at great length the details
of the illness of a little dog to her
small girl, several times mentioned
''the dog doctor" She was surprised,
at the very end, by the question:
''What sort of dog was the dog doc
tori"
