AT MOTHERS KNEE

As the dim light glows in silence
And the twilight gently falls,
There's picture Of my childhood
That this evening scene recalls.
II brings me 10 the close Of day
The family circle there.
As | knelt before the freight
AT my mothers knee in prayer.
As the red Goals glowed and flickered
Then in silence died away
Like the rising hope OF morning
And the rest at close Of day,
Then in childish faith repeated:
snow lay me down TO Sleep"
And beseeching him TO keep me
Till the morning light should peep.
Pouring out my childish troubles,
My desires, my hopes, my cares,
To the God my mother trusted
Knowing He would hear my pray'rs.
Often when the twilight gathered
What a sacred time 20 me
As | heard the sold, Old Story"
As I sat at mothers knee.
How in Bethlehem a Savior
Was by God 10 mankind given,
How He suffered TO prepare us
For the future Home in Heaven;
or His mercy, love. compassion.
How He died upon the tree
Thru His blood eternal pardon
Could be had by even me.

EVENING
o. H. Ernberg.

There is nothing I like better to
do than TO take a walk, just after the
great sun has hiden his face behind
the western horizon, while few re-
bellious rays are still lingering be-
hind to kiss the clouds and illumine
them.
I like TO stand near some stream,
where I can hear the little water
boys" singing as they go bounding
along toward the sea.
I enjoy watching the moon peep
from behind the hills as she waits
for the last faint light Of the depart
ing day TO sink from sight in the
far, far west. After this has been
accomplished, she begins to creep
slowly from her hiding-place, now
and then lodging behind cloud as
if she thought the glaring sun would
turn back and disturb her in her
play. One by one the twinkling
stars begin TO show. their tiny faces.
I watch them as they wink at the
moon who is gliding from covert TO
covert in this game Of hide-and-
seek.
I enjoy such scenes because they
always turn my thoughts to the
deeper and more serious things Of
life. We, like the rays of the sun,
are plodding along, led on by the
Great Guide, who is our light and
life. I am thrilled by the thought
that He is the same who made the
sun and moon TO shine and the stars
TO twinkle.

PRAYER IN EVERYDAY THINGS

While walking down the corridor
Of Putnam Hall, CHANGED TO hear
a couple Of the fellows discussing
the debate between the two Junior
literary societies. One Of them,
not a protesting Christian but a
sincere young man, made the apt
remark, "pi Signals surely going TO
win for BIS been praying for a
week. That statement was not
made in the spirit Of jest, and those
who knew B., captain OF the Pi
Sigma team, knew that he was the
kind Of q Christian who believed in
using his religion in the everyday
things of life and who would not en-
gage in a thing which he could not
conscientiously pray about.
Another of my friends, upon be-
ing congratulated rs the winner OF
the gold medal for the 40 yards
dash in the State track meet re-
piled. THAT race was won on my
knees in my tent last night. When
I retired I felt q bit i'll and was
sure that unless I was stronger by
morning I would be out Ct the race.
So prayed not TO win, but for the
strength TO do my best. When the
hour came I felt confident When
the line was crossed I had won.'
At the close Of big Senior De-
bate, the man who had given the
star speech, which was storm OF
eloducnce and logic almost convinc-
ing even his. opponents. said as he
left the auditorium. II prayed IL

could give many instances Of
which I am personally cognizant, to
show the power Of prayer in the
everyday affairs Of life and il Is
needless TO say that the happy
Christians are those who have that
sort Of a religion.-an everyday
Christianity.

BREEDS OF POULTRY
By Prof. J. w. Whitehouse

Two weeks ago we discussed
briefly two OF the four most impor-
tant classes OF poultry. This article
will deal with the remaining two
classes.
or the 1--WE English breeds only the
Dorking and Orpingtons have gained
prominence in this country. These
breeds hold about the same place in
England that the Plymouth Rock
and Rhode Island Reds occupy in
America. They are the general pur-
pose chicken on the farm. The Dor
king Is heavy bodied, short leg
ged bird which is very popular on
the English farm, because Il Is n
good layer and also makes a splen-
did table fowl. There are three
varieties Of the Dorking-White, Sill
ver-gray and Colored. The Dorking
can always be recognized by the
presence Of fifth toe.
The Orpington is the most popu-
lar English breed in America. There
are four varieties-Buff. Black,
White and Blue. The White and
Buff are most extensively kept in
this country. This breed is a large
well shaped bird. The ROSTERS
weigh 10 pounds or more and the
hens from 7 to & pounds. They are
good layers and make most salts
factory chicken for the farm. One
objection 10 them is that the skin
and flesh are white rather than yell
low. This does not effect the quail
ity. hut there is premium on yell
low skin and fat, which makes this
breed sell al discount on some
markets.
The last class 10 be considered Is
the American Glass. American
poultry men and farmers have de-
veloped six breeds 81 poultry which
meet their needs better than any
breeds which could be brought from
other countries. The six American
breeds are, the Plymouth Rock with
six varieties. Wyandottes with eight
varieties. Jayas with two va
ricties. Dominques with one va
riety. Rhode Island. Reds with
two varieties and the Buckeye
with one variety. Only three OF
these are popular as farm fowls
the Plymouth Rocks. Wyandottes
and Rhode Island Reds. All Of these
are splendidly adapted 10 farm con-
ditions and a choice among them
is made on personal taste. The
Rhode Island Red is a young breed
and some difficulty is encountered
in keeping the color as desired. They
are good winter layers which has
gained great popularity for them.
The Barred Plymouth Rock is also
difficult 10 breed in the proper color.
The ROSTERS tend 10 become too
light and the hens too dark.
No farmer will make a mistake in
the selection Of general purpose
fowl il he chooses any one OF the
three last mentioned breeds. -.

MY FIRST DAY AT BEREA

My first day in Berea
Oh me, twas ages ago,
And yet I soon forgot myself
Amidst this happy throng.
The clock had struck the midnight
hour
Before we reached the town,
And indeed, with WEAKNESS,
Our heavy heads hung down.
But regardless Of our feelings
We jumped into the bus
And the jitney brought us up that
Without the slightest fuss.
Ladies Hail. was the first cry
At which we made start,
Grasped our bag and baggage
And thought we were right smart.
We CROPPED our way up TO the porch,
Threw luggage in a heap,
Then knocked upon the porter's
door
Who naturally was asleep.
The wind was madly blowing
Snow drifts were piling fast.
And the evergreens were moaning
When the porter came at last
We assembled 10 the third floor
mo farther could we climb)
And 10 find q resting place
We thought il "sure nuff" time.
We slept about four hours, I guess,
When much TO our surprise,
A bell began 10 ring 80 loud
That we just had TO rise.

We descended 10 the dining-room
And ate-oh ! goodness, me
Ask the others at our table
And see If they agree.
Next came a visit TO the dean,
Where my schedule was planned
But how 10 get TO all those rooms
could not understand.
But after all, ! managed II
As all such Freshmen do,
And am very thankful that ! came
To College now, aren't your

can see the tears OF sorrow
That my errors brought TO her.
| can hear those words OF anguish
As she went 10 God in prayer, q.
Asking Him 10 keep and guide me
Out OF all these worldly things;
That thru all He would protect me
In the SHADOW OF His wings
I know not what the coming years
May have in store for me,
But where my moth'r's God shall call
There's where want 10 be.
Upheld by grace and aid divine
And love beyond degree.
And followed by the blessings
That I got at mothers knee.

Prof. Lewis and Miss Moore, as
as well as the members Of their
classes, are happy this week because
of their return TO the rooms from
which they were driven some time
ago by fire. The Inconvenience at
tending the accident are partially
Offset by the greatly improved con-
dition of the rooms. A number OF
changes, including a liberal use OF
paint and varnish, make the rooms

The town Of Cody, Wyo-, went into
mourning for the man whose name If
had honorsd. Business in the town
was suspended. and telegram was
sent Mrs. Decker by W. S. Owens.
the mayor. in behalf OF the citizens.
His remains Will be placed In q
vault until Decoration day when they
will be moved TO their last resting
place on Mount Lookout.
Col William F. Cody was born in
Scott county. Iowa, Feb. &c. 1886. He
was Of Spanish. English and Irish an
cestry
counter growing out OF a slave dis
pute, and al the age OF ten, young
Cody found himself at the head of q
family. He obtained his first employ.
ment as courier between freight
wagon trains operating between the
Mississippi river and the Rocky
mountains. In turn he became wagon
master, trapper, hunter, pony express
rider and stagecosch driver. All the
positions gave him a wide experience
IN the life which later was to make
him famous.
He served in the Union army in the
~as between the states as a conf
dant and scout In the desultory
fighting IN the Southwest near the end
OF the war he earned for himself the
name Of master scout and guide.
These qualifications soon brought
him TO the attention of ranking gem
erals OF the Union army and secured
Tor him the appointment as chief Of
scouts in the United States army dur
ing the numerous Indian campaigns
against the northern Sioux. His
career in this capacity identified him
with the great fighting epoch between
the Indians and the white men yared
by Gen Sheridan.
With the advance OF civilization far
ther west, Col. Cody found his occu-
pauons on the plains fast decreasing.
He then went on the stage. where he
remained for several years, playing in
dramas depicting Western life. Later,
in association with Nate Salisbury, he
organized his wild west show, with
which he toured the United States
and Europe for many years. In
Europe he was entertained BY royalty.
De entered politics on q small plane
and in 1872 was elected to the Ne
braska Legislature. In 1866 he was
married to Miss Louisa Frederici
