PURI Nj.

On Purim eve, the Father takes
The book of Life, down from its place;
And reads of ADAM Abel and Cain,
Who in their graves
Thousands years have lain.
We read of the great Persian King,
Who displeased at his pretty queen,
Married another, Esther, by name,
Whose name is known, to know great
fame.
He reads in chant, and kind of SOM
The story of Haman who forever so long
Was the apple of the Kings eye,
And at last by the gallows-
Did he die.
Yes by his own sentence was he hung,
Almost unwept. unhonored and unsung;
For with him there died
All his ten sons, and they all were
hanged,
Yes every one.
The smaller children close their eyes
And dream of sailing through the skies;
And meeting Esther, the great queen
Whose beautiful face they had never
SEEN
The children and mother, go to their
dreams, g:
And father too, asleep seems,
But he still mutters as he shores in his
chair,
And the head still bows (that has not

Let Bargain Counter
Seeds Alone.

Under the high price Of clover and
grass seeds farmers are looking for
the best bargains before purchasing
their spring seeds. II is good to get
the best bargain but il is more i'm
portant to get good seed. Many
times the bargain seeds are poor in
quality and carry large per cent Of
noxious weed seed. II is better to
buy from the dealers whom you know
by experience handle nothing but the
best seed and pay the market price
than to pick up some bargain price
which you see advertised and get n
bad case Of noxious weeds that will
keep you fighting for years to come.
We cannot afford not to sow clover
because il is the main pillar which
supports a good crop rotation. Thir-
ty-seven dollars per bushel seems
high for clover but that is not as
high as it will be. The time to buy
