Mr.. Atkins, when the band begins to
play" Kipling described the attitude
OF tho general public towards the SOL
der in the above lines. And this, by
tha way. Is about the attitude of some
people towards the Nonpartisan
league members. When a speaker de-
stres to show profundity he pronounce
81 the name with superior contempt
and mayhap tell the members to &c

rare humor to intellectual depth. But

National Hysteria.

Bismarck Tribune: Severing rela-
tons with Germany has produced a
hysteria that is manifesting itself in
several forms of dementia, chief of
which is the assumption that agencies
are at work to plunge this nation into
war.
Congressman Oscar Galloway of
Texas blatantly declares that news
papers are in a conspiracy with the
munition makers to precipitate hos
tilities and to destroy the youth of
the land in order to swell the divi-
dends Of war brides.
This crisis evidently is too much
for small minds. They cannot realize
that it is q time to rearm our allegi-
ance: to revive the spirit that called
this nation into being; to reded1cate
the nation to the cause Of right.
Now is the time to find out whether
we are a nation or merely a polyglot
people. ready to sacrifice our national
identity to protect the f1eshpots.

Tho Make ReIiexev of Flowers.

Cyclamen like to pretend they are cross little animals with their ears laid back, or else that they are little fugi- tive maidens fleeing very fast across the meadows, with their hair blowf back from their lovely faces. Their whimsical trick of play, acting like this is all part of their quaint mirth. They have. of, course, other attributes .s well-bearty and spirituality and love. Love I feel with flowers particu- larly. I seem to get hold of that ex- Quisite sense of the whole worlds be- ing wrapped in the essence of Gods s love more often through flowers than through anything else. They are to me indescribably dear, merry little companions. My affection goes out to them constantly in deep, happy rev. erence. The reverence is not only for the lovely little things themselves, but also for the wonder that is back of -them-an ecstasy of worship.-Atlan- tic

hu~ to Sc Happy Though Married.
 Domestic happiness does not come as a matter of course, but, like everything else worth having, must be worked for.
 Don't imagine that because you have won each other you need no longer be affectionate.
 Garry over into the welded life the refinement of manner that character ized your wooing days.
 Once in awhile let your husband have the last word. It will please him and be no loss to you.
 Husband and wife are one, but it is a parody on unity if each wants to be that one.
 A rose strewn on life's path while weary feet are painfully walking over it is more than wreaths for the dead.
 Make your home a cabinet room where all the affairs of the household and sometimes of business come under comparison and advisal.
 Many a failure would have been avoided if men had consulted with their wives.-Rev. Dr. Madison c. Peters.

Curious Andean KeyhoIes,

A curiosity of the Andean villages are the doors of the houses, which are hard to open and hard to close. but which, despite the intricacy of the locks, admit the air freely on all sides. Harry A. Franck describes one such door, writing in the Century Magazine of the town of San Pablo, Colombia 1: The keyhole was in the shape of a swan. Others in the town and all through Narino have the form of a man, horse, goose and dozen other ludicrous shapes. These homemade doors of Andean villages never fit cas- fly, and their locks always have some peculiar 1diosyncrasy of their own, so that by the time the traveller learns to unlock the door of his lodging with out native assistance he is ready to move nr

 His diet must be liquid, prefer : ably milk, together with fruit juices and plenty of water. | Elimination through bowels, skin :

 and bdcarbonate of soda is given .
 and followed after four hours by !. rochalle salts or seidlitz pow . der. Rhubarb and soda may be . given to advantage until the : tongue is clean. Throughout con- : valescence the patient must ab- . stain from all animal foods and . alcohol.

Imported Dyes Are Used Exclusively
In These Rugs

America has never been able to produce the rich dyes the mill import from Europe. Some mills may use domestic dyes, but the quality of rugs produced will not compare with these imported dye rugs. The color, ings are very beautiful, blending into each other in perfect harmony. The designs are exact eproductions/of old Oriental Master pieces, while the texture of the rugs is extra heavy velvet and closely woven. The backs are also heavily sized to assure long service.

This Large Purchase Was Made
Months Ago

At that time conditions were normal, and the magnitude of our order placed secured a substantial concession in price from the mills For us to buy these rugs now at the same price would be simply out of the question: We could hold these rugs until the prices reach the high water mark and then sell them at large margin of profit. But this is not our plan. We feel that sell ing these rugs at the special price at this time will do us more good from an adver- Using standpoint than anything we could possibly do, so they go on sale at 1875.
