WHEN / was little girl, out on the western
w praire-sea, where the shadow of the great
blue mountains grew long at sunset, where
the night sky arched above as blue as the field in
our flag and as spangled with thick stars, where
the shadow Of our house stretched across a mile
OF rose-washed prarie--the high, white peaks were
tender pink from mysterious rising sun--the
lark scared into the splendid sky trailing his SON.
Jewels IN shower at the dawn--out there when
was little girl, my mother used to sing me the
songs her brave little grandmother sang.
Do you remember the shivery songs then? Do
you remember that melody always quavered and
was as dismal as Tom Sawyer in the church-yard?
An it was always the song about the girl who
would not wear silken cloak to keep her warm
when she went'to dance with her lover-that was
young Charlotte, who laugh like gypsy Queen"
at her mother, and then got frozen to DEATH Do
you remember "LAURENA?" Laurena was a sad
young lady whose lover sang to her Of setting
suns (my gracious) and coming SHOWS and such.
Do you remember the young man who sang
about 'young love- being "like fower,' and his

was crushed underfoot by false maiden? Ny
little mother sang them with laugh-and so the
little child was, seeing the laugh, smiled too, and
did not weep over the melancholy things. Still |
could see Laurena with raven hair and Charlotte
in hers lover sleigh in tue dress freezing slowly
to death behind his coal-black horses with their
silver bells.
Do you remember "MOTHS?" There are many
bright things in this world pretty Moth. Do but
dazzle to lead you astray. at
Love burns-a white fame-and from all the
world the moths came some young and tender
some little older and wiser, all, they circle about
the lovely thing that shines from worlds end to
worlds end Some warm their hearts and their
cold lives by his dancing fire and take no HARM
Some others dash into the lovely glory and their
wings curl and shrivel--the gold dust-black,
the fragile gossamer ASH There are many pretty
things in this world, pretty Moth" Maybe you
remember the rest of the woeful old song-just as
| can go back to the west and find the same rose
on the snowy peaks at dawn. NELL BRINKLEY.

ut is the hive bee" whispered the
hive bee, in her guests ear.
The humble bee looked with great
curiosity at this autocratic ruler, and
her impressions were perhaps colored
by what she had heard of the Jealous,
sovereign's bloodthirsty temper. Her
more democratic instincts may also
have been somewhat offended by the
adulation heaped upon the queen by
her submissive subjects. At any rate,
she begged her friend to show her the
way out, As they emerged from the
gate of the hive they saw a number
of big frowsy looking bees huddled to-
gether, apparently under guard of
circle of soldiers.
Don't go yet" said the hive bee.
They are the drones; the massacre is
about to begin"
Thank you." returned the humble
bee. I've neglected my work too
long. ! shall remember my visit"
As she hummed away from the hive
she heard. acute sounds behind her,
and glancing over her shoulder, saw
that the massacre had begun. But the
sight only put more speed into her
wings.

A few mornings after the visit OF

BOYS And GIRLS IN
WAR GAME FOR GOOD

Hungry.
CAN DO MUCH OF GOOD

Lincoln, April l5-An army Of
more than 5000 Nebraska boys and
girls are taking preliminary steps for
a mighty spring push that promises
10 be OF no mean importance in fur
thering the war
The boys and girls arc going TO
shoulder the hoe in place OF the gun,
Tor though they are too young for
military service. they are old enough
TO seek TO express their patriotism
in a tangible form-the home-school
garden. of which they are members,
Their battle field is to be the back
yard or the vacant lot where they
will wage a war of extinction against
weeds, insect pests, etc, which inter
fere with maximum production OF
food for the family table.
..E Can Help a Lot,
Boys and girls, it has been demon
strated, can produce much OF the food
required for the family use, thereby
releasing the commercial product OF
the country for the needs Of the peo-
pie in large cities ard in foreign coun-
tries. Furthermore, since available la
Dor is likely TO be one OF the limiting
factors in increasing production, the
use OF boys for productive work will
be economically valuable, il is thought.
Last year 2,222 boys and girls in
twenty-five towns and cities took part
in the home-school garden project
conducted under the direction of the
agricultural extension service. AS a
result OF their work, 1889 back yards
and 345 vacant lots grew gardens. The
total receipts from these gardens was
nearly $4,000 in addition TO nearly
$1,000 worth of canned products. This
year more than 5000 children are ex-
pectcd TO take part in home-school
gardens in forty-hve towns which
have taken up the work.
Louisianians Come to Learn.
A party of 100 Louisiana farmers,
headed by Director w. r. Dodson, OF
the experiment station at Baton
Rouge, La, is planning an invasion Of
northern states in July, among them
the state OF Nebraska.
This is part of a program to
promote diversified farming and to
develop the live stock industry Of the
: south so that it will be less dependent
upon cotton and the single crop sys-
TEN than at present.
Ncbrasks's share in entertaining the
visitors is being planned by the VI i
versity OF Nebraska in cooperation
with Director Dodson. Trips will be
made to the stock yards at Omaha,
to the state university here, and TO live
stock farms in this vicinity. Ono day
will be spent with live stock breeders
of Seward county and another with
live stock breeders OF Gage county.

A BLOODY TRAGEDY.

The summertime quietness which
has settled down on Upper Main
street in the vicinity of the Empori-
um was somewhat disturbed Wed
nesday morning. Roy Power and
Sam McCuen were in the Office of
said emporium when they heard an
awful racket back towards the stor-
age room, which sounded as if all
the furniture in that quarter had
fallen through to the next floor.
Kinney Cam was taking things
quietly in front of his place of bust
ness when he heard the terrible noise
and he at once opined that one
of those light-running Owensboro
wagons sold by Col. W. A. Calvert
had slipped up the back alley and at
tackled the first line trenches of the
Mitchell wonders. / -
All three ran to see what was the
trouble and about the time they got
to the scene of the disturbance, that
brave cavalryman, Col. Kerr, Presi-

them, without either ringing bell,
or blowing a whistle. He was NOV

QUIT MEAT IF YOUR
KIDNEYS ACT BADLY
Take Tablespoonful of Salts if Back
Hurts or Bladder Bothers.

We are a nation of meat eaters
and our blood is filled with uric acid,
says a well-known authority, who
warns us to be constantly on guard
against kidney trouble. .~.. e.
The kidneys do their utmost to
free the blood of this Irritating acid
but become weak from the overwork
they get sluggish; the elminative
tissues clog and thus the waste is
retained in the blood to poison the
entire system. J.
When your kidneys ache and feel
like Jumps of lead, and you have
stinging pains in the back or the
urine is cloudy, full of sediment, or
the bladder is irritable, obliging you
to seek relief during the night; when
you have severe headaches, nervous
and dizzy spells, sleeplessness, acid
stomach or rheumatism in bad wea-
ther, get from your pharmacist about
four ounces of Jad Salts; take a
tablespoonful in a glass of water be-
fore breakfast each morning and in
few days your kidneys will act
fine. This famous salts is made
from the acid of grapes and lemon
juice, combined with hthia, and has
been used for generations to flush
and stimulate clogged kidneys, to
neutralize the acids in urine so it is
no longer a source of irritation, thus
ending urinary and bladder disor-
ders.
Jad Salts is inexpensive and can
not injure; makes a delightful ef-
fervescent lithia-water drink, and
nobody can make a mistake by TAX
