Once it was the feeling,

Once His gifts I wanted,
Now Himself alone; i
Once I sought for healing,
Now the Healer own.
'Once 'twas painful trying, ,
Now 'tis perfect trust;
Once a half salvation.
Now the uttermost;
Once 'twas ceaseless holding,
Now He folds me fast;
Once 'twas constant drifting, *
Now my anchor's cast. 1
"Once 'twas busy planning
Now 'tis trustful prayer; *
Once'twas anxious caring, J

Once I worked for glory,

The Persian Crocus 6
s
All flowers bring messages, if we I
will hear;
Soft whispers from a world
we do not see,
Some hint how "rainbows
round the throne" mav hp:
And some, of thorns the Sinless
Ooe did wear;
And purple dyes and crimson c
\ stains agree
In whispering how His sor- c
rows set us free 1
Who scorn and shame and death %
for us did bear. *
And sflme?fair Crocus, thou art
surely one? ' c
Come tor a moment, just to let \
us know v
What robes are ready when c
earth's cares are done, s
For those, sin-stained and travel- c
worn below, \
Who, washed and sanctified
through the Pure One, c
- Shall "walk in white" before the g
eternal throne. t

A Warning I [

A man who would not take his
home paper sent his little boy to j
borrow the copy taken by a
neighbor. In his haste the boy
_____ ran over a hive of bees and in ten
minutes he looked like a warty j
squash. His cries reached his
father, who ran to his assistance,
failing to note a barb wire fence, {
x which he ran into breaking it j
down, cutting a handful of flesh
from his anatomy, and ruining a
$5 pair of pants. The cow took
advantage of the gap in the fence
and got into the corn. Hearing
the racket, his wife ran out, up
setting a 4 gallon churn of rich 1
cieam into a oasnet ot kittens 1
and drowned them. In her haste '
she lost a $17 set of teeth. The <
baby, left alone, crawled through '
the cream into the parlor and <
ruined a brand new $20 carpet <

vetch used at the sump rate r?f

Another good cover crop
is crimson clover. The only objection
to it is that it is not so
easv to grow and that a failure
frequently results with farmers
inexperienced in its use.

An Associated Press dispatch
from Cleveland, Ohio, said that
J. G. Bradley, of Dundon, West
Virginia, former President of the
Natiohal Coal Association, told
the American Mining Congress
in session at Cleveland that the
total loss to the coal industry of
the recent coal strike was$1,190,000,000
divided as follows: ' j
Wages of miners $450,000,000
Railroads, in freight. 3OO,G00.O00
Public in cost of fuel 400,000,000
Mine owners 40,000,000
Mr. Bradley added:
If every family in America
were lo pay $45 it would barely
cover this loss," Mr. Bradley said,
"price of the struggle which has
i ist been passed through is enor

According to reports emenatin2
from the office of the state
superintendent ot education, at
the May examination for teach
ers certificates held in every
county in the state, 589 white applicants
passed the required tests,
while 919 failed. Of the negro
applicants, 315 passed and 522
failed. These figures show that
61 per cent of the white applicants
could not meet the test,
while the percentage of negro
applicants who failed was 62 pei
cent, only one per cent more,
both standing the same test.
Such circumstance is not pleasant
to contemplate and its occurrence
testifies to gross neglect in
the past. It ought to serve to
stimulate a far greater interest in
the education of the white youth
in the state; that such a record
may not continue to stand.

The campaign managers

not lose any thing, probably by

doubtless ran along as if nothing
was happening, and theinnocenl
public has paid or will haye to
pay $400,000,(XX) for being per
