Scotch collie, dutf "Dixie" died
sent all his friends the follow

"For a season, good-bye, old

"Fate, inexorable and stron

has decreed that we must part.
The cords which bound us as
one have been loosened.
"If there bo love and faith
and hope, and if, through them,
peace and joy may hereafter
be attained, you, who have lived
and loved and trusted, will find
them further on.
"You part from mo unwil
lingly and go upon your jour
ney, leaving me to linger yet
awhile in the valley and await
the coming of the sunset. And
as I wait, my heart bears the
burden of my sorrow and my
tears shall be restrained lest
they tell the story of my grief
to those whose love we never
had.
"When the light gives way
to darkness and I go beyond

of the shadows by paths that
are unknown to me and guide
my weary footsteps to the sum

mountain top will you be besido
me as I turn my eyes toward
the radiant Kast, and, with
strengthened vision, behold in

''Stop!" thundered the client
ut the barber, who was cutting
his hair, Then, he continued,
in somewhat milder tones:
"Why do you insist upon telling
me these horrible, blood-curdling
stories of ghosts and rob
bers while you are cutting my
hair?"
"I'm very sorry, sir," replied
the barber, "but you see, when
I tell stories like that to my
clients, their hair stands on

easier to cut."

The Fact
No amount of misrepresentation by the
peddlers of alum baking powders, no jug
gling with chemicals, or pretended analysis,
or cooked-up certificates, or falsehoods of
any kind, can change the fact that
Royal Baking Powder
has been found by the offi
cial examinations to be of the
highest leavening efficiency,
free from alum, and of absolute
purity and wholesomeness.
Royal Baking Powder is indispensable
for making finest and most economical food.

the credit. 1 take none of the credit myself. I do, however, feel that

LAND OF YESTERDAY.
Who would not be carried back to the land of yesterday ?
To the beautiful land, the golden land of joy and play?
U'ho, looking back in the face of youth, and there decern the smile
VC'ould not tarry there again if but for a brief while?
For back in the land of yesterday, the rare land we knew,
Is where the skies were bluest and where the roses grew I
Who would not the high hills climb in the land of yesterday,
And there pluck smiling daisies that grew along the way ?
Back in that dear memory land are all the sweethearts fair
Vi'e see their angle 'neath a wealth of golden hair
Ah, all the blushing dreams, the crimson lips we knew,
Were in the land of yesterday, and seem sweeter for it too !
We may all return to that joyful land on wings of sweetest dreams;
We may climb the hills of joy again and wade the silver streams
And lips long dry may be moistened by other lips once dear,
From the vision of one comes again we feel a presence near;
We behold the face of our boyhood dreams so blithe young and gay,
In the land so beautiful, golden and free, the land of yesterday !

WILL I FIND MY
Tell me, papa, tell me truly, siiuii i find my uiuiiinm there,
Will she meet nie up in Heaven, will she come when 1 appear?
Softly spoke a dying angel, to her father turning gray,
Bui he lowered his head in silttnce, with a sob he turned away.
Will I find my mamma there, with her sweet face and golden hair,
And will she kiss me once again, soothe all my sorrows and my pain;
Some day, papa, you'll come loo, for I love you, indeed I do.
Tell me, oh tell me ere I go, will 1 meet my mamma there ?
It was in the midst of Winter, when her mother stole away,
From her husband, home and baby, by another led astray,
When the sun dawned one bright morning, it shone on a broken home,
And a baby, crying papa, where, oh, where has mamma gone?
Suddenly the door is opened, and a woman cries, "My child I"
But the father steps between them, and she pleads with voice so mild,
Lei me only kiss her sweei lips, let me hear her say mamma,
Then he sadly turns and shows hef 'lis loo late, her babe is dead.

EVES THAT FOLLOW YOU.
The Thing Is Simply An Optical
Illusion.
Have you ever wondered why
the eyes in portraits painted in
oil follow you? Thero is some
thing uncanny about it. Years
ago superstitious people were
afraid to go into a picture gal
lery whore pictures of ances
tors were to be found, Now
we know that the thing is sim
ply an optical illusion.
To produce such an effect
the eyes of the person repre
sented in the portrait must be
looking directly to the front
and not toward one side. In
such circumstances the pupil
of each eye is necessarily in the
middle thereof with as much
"white" on one side as on the
other.
Obviously, this relation does
not vary at all with the posi
tion assumed by tho observer.
The latter may stand far over
on either side of the pic
ture, and yet, from this point
of view, there is as much white
on the side of each eye as on
the other, and the pupil still in
the middle. Such being the
case, the painted image con
tinues to look directly at him.
In the palatial mansion of a
well-known multi - millionaire
there is a double staircase, the
two flights joining at a landing
above. On the wall is a huge
painting of a flock of sheep
coming down hill.
The picture is a famous work
of art and cost many thousands
of pounds, but the peculiarity
about it that interests most peo
ple who see it is that, no matter
which of the two flights (which
are 50 feet apart) one ascends,
the sheep seem to bo running
directly toward the observer.
Here again the optical princi
ple involved is exactly the same
as that which makes tho eyes
in ithe- portrait appear as if
they followed you.

Secretary Garrison announc
ed that in the controversy over
the rights of the States anil the
Federal government he had de
cided to "adopt a policy which
recognizes the eijniliible sphere
of each."
Accompanying the letter was
a draft of a new public dam act
representing the administra
tion's views on water power
projects in navigable streams.
The plan would require those
who wished to dum a stream
for water power purposes to
obtain the right to do so from
the public utility commissions
from the various States, and
present their applications to
the Federal government after
showing that the applicants are
duly incorporated public utili
ties. Power of regulation would
be retained by the Federal gov
ernment and the war depart
ment would be vested with dis
