THE MORNING CALL. Pol. X. No. 154. SOCIAL_SALAD 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. » * » The Current Topics Club held its regular weekly meeting at the usual place Wednesday morning.

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?

Mr, Wallace reported progress be ing made toward securing the cream ery, Over 200 cows had been sub scribed and half the territory had not been worked, while iuterest was in 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 were interested should add enthus iasm by attending every meeting. Merchants should offer financial aid if it was needed, and every one should work lo secure the creamery. It was bis opinion that if the creame- A Narrow Escape. Thankful words written by Mrs, Ada E.

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.
