POWER OF PUBLIC OPINION.

The public, for all its anonymous,
impersonal character, has ways Of maxi
ing itself known, its complaint heard,
its power felt. Despite its amazing and
proverhial good nature there are limits to
its patience, and il stands for so much and
no more IL is wonderful how when The

that test. made sacrifices without cavll,

people must have their say; they must
not be treated like machines; they must
not be regarded in the mass; they must be

of the world the crowd was incoherent and
the rich and powerful did not mind the
sutferings of the common folk. Today
all that is changed The crowd has found
how formidable it is and it refuses to be
damned or thwarted. The power Of public
opinion is terrible force indeed, and the
future of the world depends on the right
training of that force 10 useful and noble

WORK.
There's never goal worth the getting
but what you must work to attain,
You must suffer and bleed for IL, cling to
your creed for il,
Fail, and go at il again.
Success is no whim Of the moment, no
crown for the indolcnt brow,
You must battle and try for it, offer TO
die for il,
Lose IL, yet win it somehow.
The pathway TO glory is rugged, and
many the heartaches you'll know
He who seeks TO be master must rise from
disaster,
Must take as he giveth the blow.
There's no royal highway to splcndor,
no short cut to fortune or fame,
You must fcarlessly fight for it, dare to
be right for it,
Failing, yet playing the game.
The test of mans merit is trouble, the
proof of his worth is distress,
Much as you long for it, man must be
strong for IL,
Work is the door to success.

THE SPRING CHORE.

Spring is Frightening the valleys,
that were lately brown and gray,
and its time to clean the alleys,
carting all the trash away: all the
cast-off shoes and bonnets, and the
cat that reached its end, and the
punk rejected sonnets that the local
poet penned. Spring is limiting now
of roses, and we should to duty rise,
for old trash offends our noses, and
it's painful to the eyes. Spring is
whispering Of lilies, whispering in
every breeze: and that town inn
parts the willies which no spring
time cleanup sees. There is litter
by your stable, there's dead COW by
your door: toll, as hard as YOU are
able, that thew NAV be there no
more. For such things insult our
senses, and they aggravate and vex;
and we ought TO paint our fences,
shave ourselves. and wash our necks.
All the world is bright and sunny.
shining till it seems like new; and
think 1t mighty funny if we are not
shining too. Bear away the long
dead Tabby, all the truck of yester-
year; clean up, for the town that's
shabby Is an eyesore TO the ear.

PROPER STORAGE FOR FRUIT
Sunshine, Fresh Air and Whitewash
Are Important Aids for Abso-
lutte Cleanliness.

prepared by the United States Depart
ment of Agriculture.)
The first requisite of a storage place
for fruit Is absolute cleanliness. This
cannot be assured by soap and water
alone. Sunshine, fresh air and white
wash are important aids. The shelves
should be washed clean and then dried,
but undue use of water should he
avoided. as moisture Is one of the
chief requisites of mold growth. A
cellar may be kept dry by placing in
il dishes of unslaked lime, which rap
idly takes up the moisture. When the
lime crumbles apart. losing entirely its
crystalline character. it has become
"slaked" and will take up no more wa
ter unless it Is renewed. Growth of
most mods is retarded by light, ven
tilation and low temperature. A fruit
cellar which will successfully keep
fruit must possess all three condi-
lions.
