One night, before koiiik to hetl, he w as lookins, with a lump in Ins hand, for soniethniK in the Clip board of his dressing room, lie set the lamp on one of the shelves. When he shut the cupboard door, he lortot tin; lamp inside. I le re mained a little while quite still, wondering; then he opened the door ot his room and said to his wife, in a solemn and distressed voiee: "My dear, Cod sends me a great trial. I believe I am blind!" The great preacher's wife was not much disturbed. She was used to these sudden calamities. Not long before, had he not come home informing her he was guile lame? She discovered he had bo- it walking with one foot on the sidewalk and one foot on the street ml had mechanically kepi up the unequal step until he got home. So tonight she jusi said: "You have extinguished the lamp?" "No." "Then where is it?" "I am sure I don't know. Hut don't you see the light ?" "I see no more light than you, but we must find the lamp, 1 hope you have not put it where ii can set tire to something." She got up and found the lamp, which had already begun in char the upper shell. "You are really loo bad!" laugh ed the great preacher's wife, re turning to her bed. "Keally 1 am," assented her husband, overjoyed lo be spared the "great trial" to which he had already tried to submit. Another time, on Sunday morn ing, preaching before u huge con gregation, he several times care fully wiped his perspiring forehead with a loldcd pair of socks he had put in Ins pu ket before going out insic.iii ol a handkerchief, and he ik et lound Ins mistake until he was lokl at home. He had a good laugh over it, but went on putting in his packet the most assorted articles, which used to be as puz-1 ling to him as to his visitors, or hearets w hen he preceded to wipe his ever - perspiring lorehead.

May dance down in Dixie Is now to start; del out out your golden tiddle, (let out your singing heart ! The birds will sing the chorus, the sunbeams they will My, And love will leap lo Dixie lips and hid the world good-by. The May dance down in Dixie Is where the vines are swung, And all feel that 'neath them meet Are shod with being young. The jasmine decks the valleys, and on the hills 'tis day In that sweel magic of the world, the Dixie dance of May. The May dance down in Dixie, Choose partners, and away; Swing corners in ihe golden dream Of golden yesterday. The wide halls stand wide open, the doors are open, loo, And love laughs up the Dixie vales in loveliness lo you. The May dance down in Dixie, Oh, when the roses climb, Miss Dixie knows it's going lo be A grand old sunshine time ! Magnolia in the marshes and sweetbrier in the lane Who cares for grief in Dixieland, or memory's golden plane ! The May dance down in Dixie, The rhododendron smiles. And love counts every step a joy Of honeysuckle smiles. The redbuds kepi their promise and Mr. Judas tree, He flames the lanes of Dixie with the blooms that tempt the bee. The May dance down in Dixie, The greenwood for a floor, With sweethearts smiling thru the trees, And young feel on the floor. Off with the husks of winter, and who'll remember snow, Now that it's May in Dixie, where the Dixie sweethearts grow ! THE PROPER PLACE. Down W ithe the traitors and tin with the Dante.

Maud "Yes, the disagreeable thing." - Puck About the suresi way 10 keep your name belore the public is to have it iiiscni't-.l on a tombstone. You Don't Need a magnifying glass if your eyes are right. And if they are not right you do need glasses. If you experience difficulty in seeing things, see Hall. The best glasses are fitted and made Halls Way. May is building her house. With apple blooms She is roofing over Ihe ulimmering rooms, Of the oak and the beech hath she builded its beams, And, spinning all day at her secret looms, With arras of leaves each wind swayed wall She picturelh over and peopleth it all With echoes and dreams, And singing of streams. May is building her house. Ol petal and blade, Of the roots of the oak is the flooring made, With a carpet of musses and lichen and clover, Each small miracle over and over, And tender, traveling green things strayed. Her windows, ihe morning and evening star, And the rustling doorways ever ajar With the coming and going Of lair things blowing, The thresholds of the four winds are. May is building her house, l-'rom the dust of things She is making the songs and the flowers and wings; l-'rom October's tossed and trodden gold She is making the young year out of the old; Yea, out of winter's flying sleet She is making all the summer sweet, And brown leaves spurned of November's feet. She is changing back again lo spring's. ''Since onions have gone so high they have gotten into polite society. They look down with contempt upon oranges and bananas. It is a sign of aristocracy and wealth now lo have about you the scent of onions which has entirely taken I the place of violet toilet water or the most costly extracts and per- ' fumes. In high society it is very j probable that soon it will be all the j style to have an onion in your; handkerchief drawer to imparl a Ir.igrant and delightlul onion per- j fume to your handkerchiefs. An other thing which is likely to oc-, cur is that amongst the flavors at ' ihe soda lotintaiu will be that of i onion, which is likely lo become , very popular. Just think ot ot ' otiioiiade. None but the wealthy S laden wiih the delicate perfume of I the aristocratic onion, livery-one , knows instinctively that you belong 1 to the tour hundred or youcouldii t aliord it. Heretofore a stranger j to laces, cambric, silks and linen, j all of them now leel honored 10 I have it said that they are members ! of the same social set. (jo it j onion, we knew that someday you : would come into your own and be recognized and today none are so high but that they delight lo do I you honor.

Work does sometimes what even love cannot do; roots a man firmly in his place in the world and gives him the blessed sensation; This plot of ground in the wide immen sity oF earth was meant for me to grow in. To thoroughly know the virtues of a medicine you must investigate its worth. Doan's Kidney ljtlls stand this test, and plenty of proof ; exists right here in this locality. I People who testified years ago to ! relief from backache, kidney and urinary disorders, now give con firmed testimony declare the re sults have lasted. Can any Wel don sufferer longer doubt the evi dence? L. Wilkinson, blacksmith, liighih and Church Sts.( Scotland Neck, says: "I was bothered hy my kid neys and had a lame and aching back. Doan's Kidney Pills regu lated the action of my kidneys and relieved the lameness and soreness in my back." (Statement given December 115, 1910.) Over three years later, Mr. Wil kinson said: "The cure Doan's Kidney Pills made for me has been a lasting one." j Price 50c. tit all dealers. WOSTLR-MILBURN CO.; Pro prietors. Hufi'alo, N.
