pleasantly reported for
SUNDAY’S CALL.
KIPLING’S RECESSIONAL.
God of our fathers, known of old—
Lord of our far-flung battle line—
Beneath, whose awlul Hand we hold
Dominion over palm and pine—
Lord God of Hosts, be with us yet,
Lest we forget—lest we forget!
The tumult and the shouting dies—
The captains and the Kings depart—
Still stands thine ancient Sacrifice,
An humble and a contrite heart,
Lord God of Hosts, be with us yet,
Lest we forget—lest we forget!
Far-called our navies melt away—
On dune and headland sinks the fire—
Lo, all our pomp of yesterday
Is one with Nineveh and Tyre I
Judge of the Nations, spare us yet,
Lest we forget—lest we forgetl
If drunk with sight of power we loose
Wild tongues that have not Thee in
awe—
Such boasting as the Gentiles use
Or lesser breeds without the Law-
Lord God of Hosts, be with us yet,
Lest we forget—lest we forget.!
For heathen heart that puts her trust
In reeking tube and iron shard —
All valiant dust that builds on dust,
And guarding calls not Thee to guard—
For frantic boast and foolish word,
Thy mercy on Thy People, Lord 1 Amen !

It has been said that we have no
“national literature.” Yet if by that
phrase is meant a delineation of na
tional characteristics in all their
phases and varieties, then surely the
short story is gradually covering the
field. It has evidently come to stay
and win a permanent place in the
favor of the reading public. A vol
ume of short stories is always accept
able. It may be picked up and read
at odd moments without losing the
“thread.” Those portions which are
poor we may skip without any lots of
interest in the remainder ; those which
are good we may remember without
the pleasure they give us being
mitigated by surrounding platitudes.
One may pick and choose to please
his fancy without being compelled to
wade through uninteresting descrip
tion and detail. It has come to be
that every reader has not only his fav
orite novel, but also his collection of
short stories, which he considers the
summum bonum of all condensed fic
tion—a collection the superiority of
which he is ready to maintain against
all opposition. List after list is sent
to the papers devoted to literature,
which the compilers uphold as an
embodiment of the best of this kind
of reading. Nor is this strange when
themes which formerly would have
been extended into two-volume novels
are now condensed into a few thousand
words. Many of the popular writers
of today first called attention to them
selves by their brief sketches of men
and things—sketches which awakened
an interest in anything which the au
thors might thereafter put forth,

The first few days of Lent are never
the very gayest nor yet the most
solemn of seasons. Society is in a
state of transition. It has not yet
settled down to the solemn observances
of the Forty Days, nor has it shaken
off all the frivolities Such an ex
tremely gay winter could not come to
a sudden stop, and here and there are
mild bunblings up of spirits which
will not be repressed.

Do we not, my sad masters need
more real cheerfulness among us? Are
we not becoming a grave generation?
Why shall not somecbeeful millionaire
endow an academy wherein to teach
and acquira cheerfulness, and confer
degrees in it—where the cultivation of
cheerfulness shall receive sole and
especial care? How popular in a
family is its cheerful members. How
much sunshine the cheerful comrade
brings into the atmosphere of life
shadowed with care. By all means,
let us have such an academy withh
some delightful Vicar of Wakefield as
its president, and a merry spinster
aunt as its housekeeper.

creasing all ever the county. He was
not in the least discouraged, a» it took
two years to work up a good creamery
in his county, while now it had more
than any county in lowa.
Colonel Redding said he was confi
dent the necessary number ot cows
would be raised, as several men had
spoken to him about the matter, and
assured him of their cooperation.
They did not attend the meeting be
cause they were engaged in their dif
ferent avocations, and would do no
good by being present He thought
that was a mistaken idea, and all who

Merchants should offer financial
aid if it was needed, and every one
should work lo secure the creamery.

soon furnish more milk than it could
consume, and in a few years others
would be established in different parts
of the county to accommodate the
customers. He would like to see a
creamery by the side of every gin
house in Georgia, then would the farm
ers enter upon an era of peace . anijN
prosperity and the land would bios-”

thing in his power to secure the en

farmer in Spalding county and solicit

be made in a few days, and it would
then be known whether the creamery
would receive sufficient enejurgemeut
to locate here or not. The associa

he would donate $5 toward the ex
penses.
Mr. Wing’s liberality created con
siderable enthusiasm and his motion
was unanimously adopted. L. L.

PARSNIP COMPLEXION.
It il<>es not require an expert to detect
the sufferer from kidney trouble. The
hollow cheeks, the sunken eyes, the dark,
puffy circles under the eyes, the sallow,
parsnip-colored complexion indicates it.
A physician would ask if you had rheu
matism, a dull pain or ache in the back or
over the hips, stomach trouble, desire to
urinate often, or a burning or scalding in
passing it; if after passing there is an un
satisfied feeling as if it must be at once re
peated, or if the urine has a brick clout de
posit or st r- ng o<f r.
When tiicae symptoms are present, no
lime should be lost in removing the cause.
Delay may lead to gravel,catarrh of the
bladder, inflammation, causing stoppage,
and sometimes requiring the drawing of
j the urine with instruments, or may rut
into Bright's Disease, the most dangerous
stage of kidney trouble.
Dr. Kilmer’s Swamp-Root, the great
discovery of the eminent kidney and blad
der specialist, is a positive remedy for
such diseases. Its reputation is world
wide and it is so easy to get at any drug
store that no one need suffer any length
of time for want of it.
However, if you prefer to first test its
wonderful merits, mention The Middle
Georgia Farmer, and write to Dr. Kil
mer & Co., Binghamton, N. Y.. for
sample bottle and book telling all about it,
both sent absolutely free by mail. 1
