RASPBERRIES AND CREAM
Dreaming

l can picture nest snug in the hills,
Sweet with the scent of the pine
A haven of rest without any frils,
Where the sun and the winds combine
To Tighten the cares that burden the man
AS he stumbles along his way;
Where nature shares on generous plan
Her wealth-a golden display.
can picture trail that winds to door
Half hidden by fragrant vine,
And the shadowing veil of sycamore
AS lace spread over shrine.
And the door stands wide as waiting for
To enter the peaceful retreat;
There to abide till the set Of the sun,
And the Book of his life's complete.
l can picture a girl and my dreams dis
close
The land of my hearts desire;
glimpse of a curl mid the bloom of the
rose,
The song of my love to inspire.
There's sweet singing birds and gur-
Cling stream,
And the bells of distant kirk,
And Soft lowing birds of--but the dream
Is dispelled by nightmare of work.

WHEN YOU KNOW A FELLOW

When you get to know fellow, know his
joys and know his cares
When you've come to understand him and
the burdens that he bears,
when you've learned the fight he's max
ing and the troubles in his way,
Then you find that he is different than
you thought him yesterday.
You find his faults are trivial and there's
not so much to blame
In the brother that you jeered at when
you only knew his name.
You are quick to see the blemish in the
distant neighbors style,
You can point to all his errors and may
sneer at him the while,
And your prejudices fatten and your
hates more violent grow
AS you talk about the failures of the
man you do not know.
But when drawn little closer, and your
hands and shoulders touch,
You find the traits you hated really don't
amount to much.
When YOU get to know fellow, know
his every mood and whim,
You begin to find the texture of the
splendid side of him
You begin to understand him, and you
=. cease to scoff and sneer,
, Fer with understanding always prejudices
disappear,
You begin to find his virtue; and his faults
you cease to tell,
For yod seldom hate fellow when you
know him very we'll.
When next you start in sneering and your
phrases turn to blame,
Know more of him you censure than his
business and his name;
For it's likely that acquaintance would
your prejudices dispell
And you'd really come to like him if you
knew him very well.
When you get to know fellow and you
understand his WAYS,
Then his faults won't really matter, for
you'll find lot to praise.

breath of life again into her dead
love.
Of course, if love is really dead,
it is the deadest Of all dead things.
No human power can quicken it
any more than you could galvanize a
corpse into life. You cannot bring
back the glamour that has vanished.
You cannot thrill to order. You
cannot feel again fascination that
is gone.
Why this is thus we do not know.
Why our mental attitude toward
people changes we, cannot explain,
for love does not always die a VIC
lent death. 1t is not always slain
by some overt crime. Oftener it
perishes of anemia, and all that
we know is that the individual who
enthralled us yesterday bores us
today; that the little tricks and
manners that once ravished our
fancy have gotten upon our nerves;
that the physical nearness of an in
diVidual that we once yearned for
repulses us, and that somehow the
wand of enchantment is broken, and
the vase that held the love philter is
broken.
Dead love cannot be brought back
to life again, but often we think
love dead when it is merely in "a
state of coma. Then it may be re-
vived. Women, in particular, are
very apt to make a wrong diagnosis
of their sentimental symptoms, and
believe their complaint more fatal
than it is.
AS a matter of fact, there probably
isn't q woman in the world who has
been married ten or fifteen years
who hasn't had a dozen panics in
which she though that her love for
her husband was dead because she
no longer palpitated at his coming
and didn't have the ghost Of thrill
when he bestowed a ham-and-eggs
kiss on her of morning, and when
she realized that she was actually
relieved and glad to have him go off
on a little trip and leave her alone
to do as she pleased for a few days
According to the formula laid
down in the six best sellers and the
movies, a woman in love is always
in state of trmbling ecstasy,
with a 104-degree temperature. And
so, VIXEN a wife finds out that she Is
as stolid and unmoved in her hus"
bands presence as the kitchen
range, and that her pulse is down
to normal, she begins to think that
something is wrong with her heart.

Never judge by size alone
Lest you your judgment. shall
atone.

OF all conceited young Bears none
was ever more conceited than was
Boxer before he met Prickly Porky
on the Lone Little Path. Until then
he had expected everybody to step
aside for him. But Prickly Perky
hadn't stepped aside, and when Box
er, in a rage had \ undertaken to
make him step aside, something had
happened 1t had happened so sud
denly that Boxer didn't know just
how it had happened. He had reach
ed out a paw toward Prlckly
Porkys sharp little spears sticking
in it, Boxer limped off to one side,
and there he sat down and examined
that paw All the time he whimper-
ed and whined, for that paw GER
tainly did smart and ache. There
were six of Prickly Porky's little
spears right in the tenderest part.
OF course, when Boxer touched them
they hurt more than ever. But Box
er knew that he must get them out.
Common sense told him that. He
knew that he couldn't put that paw
to the ground with those things
sticking in it. So he got hold of
one with his teeth and pulled. 1t
hurt. 1t hurt dreadfully. Boxer
whined, but he got the little spear
out. 1t TOOK him some time to get
up his courage to pull the second
one out, and it was a long time
before he finally pulled out the last
one.
While he had been doing this
Prickly Porky had pulled his head
out from under the old log, and
calmly gone his way down the Lone
Little Path 'I guess that silly
young boaster will have more respect
for the rights of others now" NUT
tered PricIzly Porky. Then he
chuckled to himself as he thought of
Boxers surprise when he had swung
that tail of his around and struck
that paw. IT don't believe he knows
now how it was done" chuckled
PricEly Porky.
All the time Wool Wool, Boxers
twin sister, had been laughing at
Boxer. You know she had been wise
enough to go around Pricl1ly Porky
1T serves you just right" said
she. Yes, sir, it serves you just
right. You've been altogether too
conceited and boastful. I guess this
will take little of that conceit out
of you"
Boxer was in bad temper, very
bad temper by the time he was ready
to limp along up the Lone Little
Path. In fact. that bad temper last
ed for two or three days, for that
paw continued to be sore. He was
in such Il bad temper that Wool
Wool took care not to go very near
him.
So it happened that on the third
day Boxer was by himself when he
met Jimmy Skunk. Now, no one
could look more innocent and harm
| less than did Jimmy Skunk. Jimmy
came ambling along, attending
strictly to his own business. IN
stead OF running at sight Of Boxer,
10 acted just as # he didn't see
Boxer. He pulled over an old piece
of bark to look for fat beetles. He

day that the farmer took his
fourth deep cold this year, made
some and can assure you that there
is none better. I again thank bar
for the remedy.
Cough Syrup-Take six lemons
and bake them in the stove until the
juice begins to come out. Put on
pint of strained honey and while
it is heating scrape all the pulp out
of the lemons, get the seeds out
and put the juice and pulp in the
honey and boil five minutes. Take
a, tablespoonful whichever bothered
with the cough. If you can't get
the honey use brown sugar and an
ounce of glycerin.

caught one almost under Boxers
nose.
Now, Jimmy Skunk carried no lit
tie spears. No one could look more
harmless than he. Compared with
Boxer, he was a little fellow, very
little fellow. Boxer, still angry and
smarting from his meeting with
Priclly Porlzy, wanted to see some
one run from him. So with an ugly
growl he struck at Jimmy Skunk.
He didn't hit Jimmy. No, sir, he
didn't hit Jimmy. But suddenly
Boxer felt very sick, indeed, There
was something in his eyes that al
most blinded him, and the air was
filled with an odor that almost
choked him and made him feel very
sick. Boxer had his second lesson.

cate moles, because, IN spite. of their
lowly nature, they seem to possess
an uncanny ability to avoid poisoned
bats and traps. Our greatest sue
cess in fighting these pests has
been when they begin their opera
tons either late in the evening, just
before nightfall, or very early in the
morning. Then they can often be
caught in their burrows and de-
stroyed. We have also had some
success in trapping them. There are
a great many kinds of traps on the
market. A representative hardware
house ought to be able to secure such
traps for you at reasonable cost.
Another method which has given
considerable success is to soak wads
of cotton in carbon bisulphide and
put them in the runways. A hole
should be opened in the runway, the
cotton inserted and then the earth
should be covered over the opening.
The fumes OF carbon bisulphide are
very much heavier than air. It is a
wonderfully penetrating gas. If you
can use it in sufficient quantities it
will kill out the moles. Carbon
bisulphide may be purchased from
any drug store. 1t will not burn the
hands or irjure the clothing. 1t has
a very offensive odor. 1t is also
inflammable INF the presence of
light; so do not smoke when hand
ling it. Do not store it in houses.

municating with the outside should
be made impervious to air. This
is best carried out by means of
strips of heavy paper, which may
be cut and pasted over these open
ings. Another method is used in
emergency. This consists of calk-
ing all cracks with cotton or rags,
but is not considered as sure.
All furniture and articles kept In
the room during the illness of the
patient and whose surfaces were ex-
posed to contamination by the germs
should remain in the room and in
their accustomed places so that the
same surfaces may be exposed to
the action of the fumigant. Dresser
drawers, clothes closets, etc, should
be opened wide, but the clothing
therein should not be disturbed.
1t should always be remembered
that no fumigant nor any other kind
of disinfectant can have any 1ntlu-
ence over germs with which they
cannot come in direct contact, so
one must not expect to do thorough
work unless the exposed surfaces
are left open for the fumigant to
act upon it.
1t is often imagined that these
gases penetrate the substance OF
mattresses, books, piles of clothing,
discharges and the like, but such is
not the case, and, if such articles
are contaminated, special measures
should be adopted to disinfect them.
Controlling Lice on Cabbage Plants
w. c. j., Norwood, Ga,
writes: Please tell me how to
destroy lice on cabbage.
Lice attack every type OF garden
and farm crops. They prove espe-
c1ally destructive to cabbage and
lettuce. These insects multiply very
rapidly. They thrive by sucking the
juices out of the plants. They sell
dom kill the plant entirely, but they
sap its vitality SO as to initiate
against its proper growth and de-
velopment. AS a result, they fire.
quently render it unfit for use. This
pest is distributed from one plant
to another by a winged generation
which occurs from time to time.
When individual heads of cabbage
or lettuce become very badly in.
IeSleup II Is SOOu pfdCClCe TO pun
them up and burn them. Do not
throw them in the trash pile or in
the lot, but destroy them absolutely.
When these pests first make their
appearance, they often can be con-
trolled by making an emulsion of
soap and water. Shave the soap
UP in hot water and thoroughly
emulsify and spray on the plants.
Tobacco may also be used for this
purpose. Do not make the solution
strong enough, of course, to dam
age the plants. A diluted kerosene
emulsion may also be used for this
purpose. This emulsion may be
prepared as follows: One quart
kerosene, one-half pound hard soap,
as Octagon, one gallon soft water.
Make as follows: If water is hard,
add boraX until it is soft. Shave
the soap and dissolve in the water.
Then add the quart of kerosene and
churn back and forth into itself for
at least twenty minutes or until.
upon standing, the kerosene oil will
not separate and accumulate on top,
When thoroughly emulsified, add
two and one-half gallons of water to
the above mixture, which makes a
Z per cent kerosene emulsion. This
is strong enough for all general gar
den uses.
