This Valentino I Bond, I'll confess (For In deception I was never versed,) That I have sent some Valentines before, But do not acorn It, tho’ ’tis not my first. That first I well remember. It was sent To some Bmall child, when I was only ten? But then, you know that children fall in love' A dozen timea before they're grown to men. And even sinco those halcyon days of youth, How many times I’ve felt tho tonder flame I But cruel Fate—kind Fato, I call her now— Still interposed, and kept mo till you came. Call mo not fickle: I have ever loved The nearest to perfection that I knew: And all my love for others has but served To keep a warm place in my heart for you. Her sister’s health beginning to de cline, and evidence of pulmonary con sumption appearing, Mrs. Adams de voted herself to the invalid’s room with unceasing watchfulness and self-forget ful care. Eliza Flower died In 1847. Mrs. Adams never recovered from the shock of the separation. Her health gradually declined, and in 1849, two years after her sister’s death, she, too, peacefully fell asleep. In her hymn she gives expression to the following jubilant expectation— i-TJ H. C. ARNALL MDSE. CO. ’Phones 58 and 342 Interesting History of “Nearer, My God, to Thee.” The hymn, "Nearer, My God, to Thee,” the words of which Mr. Mc Kinley repeated just before his death, has an interesting history. Perhaps no hymn, since the publica tion of Perronet’s “All Hail the Power of Jesus’ Name,” in 1786, has received so wide and deserving a popularity. It finds a place in all collections of hymns in the English tongue, and is a favorite alike in Trinitarian and Unitarian churches. It has been translated into many languages, and has followed the triumphs of the gospel in heathen lands. It is the best materical expression of the desire for a more intimate spiritual acquaintance with God, and the riches, of His grace, that we have in modern psalmody. It is a fresh and touching expression of the same yearning aspi rations toward God that we prize in Cowper’s “Oh, For a Closer Walk With God,” which it succeeded in pop ular favor. It expresses a willingness to know God through the discipline of affliction. Its imagery embraces the associa- tions of one of the most sublimesand interesting religious experiences re. corded in the early Hebrew scriptures, Jacob’s vision at Luz. “And he lighted upon a certain place,” says the scrip ture of Jacob’s wanderings, “and tar ried there all night, because the sun was set; and he took of the stones of that place and put them for his pillows, and lay down in that place to sleep. And he dreamed, and beheld a ladder set up on the earth, and the top of it reached to heaven; and behold the an gels of God ascending and descending on it.” The hymn almost literally reproduces this delightful passage: Though like a wanderer, Tho sun gone down, Darkness be over me, My rest a stone. Yet in my dreams I’d bo Nearer, my God, to Thee, Neater to Thee. The scriptural account of the awak ening of Jacob on the morning after the vision is as vividly brought to mind in the figures in the fourth stanza: Then with my waking thoughts, Bright with Thy praise; Out of my stony grief, Bethel I’ll raise; So by my woes to be Nearer, my God, to Thee, Nearer to Thee. Mrs. Sarah Flower Adams, author of the hymn, was a daughter of Benja min Flower, an English writer and ed itor. She waB born in 1805. Her moth er, a woman of culture, died early in life. There were two daughters, Sarah and Eliza. The strongest attachment existed between them. Both possessed the fine feelings of their mother, and were fond of books, music, poetry, and art. Their {esthetic tastes ruled even in childhood, and girlhood to them was a glowing season of aspiration and ex pectancy. Eliza turned her attention to music and musical composition and her sister to religious poetry. They were Unitarians in their church rela tions, but their piety was gauged by devotional feeling and high religious attainments, rather than by denomina tional requirements or sectarian views. “Eliza Flower,” says a critic, “at tained a higher rank in musical, compo sition than before her time had been reached by any of her sex. Sarah Flower made the composition of poetry her occupation, while her sister pur sued her musical studies. In 1843 she married William Bridge Adams, an eminent engineer and a contributor to the best periodical literature. In 1841 she published a dramatic poem in five acts, entitled “Viva Per- petua, ” in which she portrays the re ligious life, sufferings, strong faith and endurance of the early martjrs. The hymn, “Nearer, My God, to Thee, ” was a record of her own relig ious experience, and was written as a memorial of answered prayer, proba bly without any expectation that it would be of public service. It was furnished with thirteen other hymns to Charles Fox’s collection of “Hymns and Anthems, ” published in London in 1841. The cares of mtyrried life in nowise abated her early attachment to her equally gifted Bister. Regarding “Vi va Perpetua” as the fruit of their joint inspiration and studies she dedicates it to her sister in lines which occur the following tender sentiment— In Thy content I win a wreath more bright Than earth's wide garden ever could supply; Ah, met I think me still how poor a strain, , And fly for refuge to Thy love again. Or. if on joyful wings, Cleaving tho sky. Sun, moon and stars forgot, » Upward I fly, Still, all my song Bhnll bo, Nearer, my God, .to Thee, • Nearer to Theo. This hope seems to have been almost literally fulfilled to her death. We are told that “almost her last breath burst into unconscious song. ” The following hymn by Mrs. Adams seems to have been written in the same spirit as “Nearer, My God, to Thee.” It was sung at her funeral— Ho sendoth sun. Ho sondoth showers, Alike thoy’ro needful to tho flowers; And joys and tears alike aro-Bont To give tho soul fit nourishment; As comos to mo or cloud or sun, Father, Thy will, not mine, bo done. Oh, never will I at life roplno; Enough that Thou hast made it mino; . Whoro fall tho shadow cold in death, I yet will sing with fearlcsB broith, A* comes to me or shodo or sun, Father, Thy will, not mine, bo done. Conservatism. To Be a Year of Amerieus Times-Recorder. “Commodity prices nre now again so high as to press heaviljMipon the econ- iy Of the people. They cannot go ;ner without forcing a most trouble- om; ■Kl$! | I _ some and disturbing wage and salary increase movement, and against their going higher is the fact that imports are now pouring into the country in un precedented volume, tending to turn the balance of trade against us; and the further fact that new gold production is meeting a check by that very in crease in cost of production which Has brought upon other industries. We may thus rather confidently look for ward not to a ‘boom’ year in the ordi nary acceptance of that term, but to a year of moderate and well-distributed speculation and of great business vol ume, keeping everybody actively em ployed and transacted on a limited mar gin of profit.” The above extract from the Spring- field Republican expresses a view that is becoming widespread. It is now rec ognized that the high prices that pre vail,ure in a measure a clog to prosper ity, that the purchasing power of' the people has been considerably diminished and that the demand for many lines of got/us necessarily must suffer curtail ment. In this way high prices may bring a remedy in their wake. Manu facturers, too, fearing that there may be a sharp decline later in values are somewhat fearful of stocking up heav ily with raw supplies, or of producing greater quantities of manufactured ar ticles than they can immediately mar ket. Such high prices as we are now having mean anxiety and suspense gen erally. They are unnatural, exorbi tant, and beyond the means of the vast mass of the people. The check they impose on speculation and over trading, though, may prove a very beneficial thing to the country at large. The nat ural tendency after the depression of 1908-09 was to rebound into unparallel ed activity, to inaugurate a season of tremendous expansion of activity. The danger that lay in such a course has been avoided through the medium of the high prices prevailing. Business men have their bump of caution very largely developed when prices are high as they are to-day, and conservatism is more than apt to be the prevailing tone of 1910. The plea in the past has been that high prices mean prosperity. They may in a few instances, but to the great body of the people they spell something else. A fairly remunerative scale of prices, well sustained, would be far better to producers in all lines, and to consumers, than prices that check con sumption and disorganize industry. It is an open question whether it would not have been better for the cotton- producers if values had been kept around 12 to 13 cents and the absurd and ruinous fluctuations of a week or so ago avoided. TRUTHFUL REPORTS. Newnan Reads Them With Uncom mon Interest. A Newnan citizen tells his experience in the following statement. No better evidence than this can be had. The truthful reports of friends and neigh bors is the best proof in the world. Read and be convinced: Mrs. A. M. Askew, 25 Willcoxon St.. Newnan, Ga., says: “I cannot hcsitati to recommend so valuable a remedy at Doan's Kidney Pills. For a long timi my daughter, eleven ycars-of age, wat annoyed by the imperfect action of the kidneys. The Becretions were much toe frequent and at times caused a burning sensation during passage.

The sort of wife that will make a man happy depends altogether upon his temperament and tastes. What would suit one man would drive another to distraction. What are irritating faults to some pass unnoticed by others. So whether an extravagant but agreeable woman is preferred to the thrifty but uninteresting, depends largely upon the man's predilections in theBe directions. Everyone is familiar with the agree able woman who can talk moBt enter tainingly, who can play tho piano like a virtuoso, or sing like a “leading lady,” but whose house is a trail of disor de from garret to cellar, and whose chil dren are untidy and unkempt. Every one also knows the woman whose home is always in apple-pie order, whose meals are faultless, whoBe children shine with cleanliness, but who is abso lutely dull as a companion and who seemingly never has a thought above her dishpan and sewing machine. Which sort of a woman is the better wife de pends largely upon what a man wants in a wife. The man whose sole delight is in the creature comforts of home prefers, of course, the practical, if prosy, helpmate, If he knows he will not be happy unless his home is orderly, his meals well cooked and well Berved, his money spent judiciously, he would be fooliBh to mar ry a woman who would not give him these things. If he is content to go to sleep over his newspaper in tho evening, or to seek the diversion he wants at club or theatre, he will probably get all he desires in marriage from a wife of this practical order. If neatness and thrift are absolutely essential to his happiness, he would be most unwise to marry any other kind of woman. Dis order and extravagance would get on hiB nerves to such an extent that his own life would be wretched and he would make every one about him un happy also. The man who takes delight in com panionship rather than in the practical things of life would be happier with the agreeable woman, even though she was not much of a housekeeper. But there are some things he should pause to con sider. Agreeableness is all very well. But bills must be paid. If ho is able to support an extravagant wife and to hire servants to run his house, ho may safely plunge into matrimony with such a partner. But if his income is limited he had better pause or face the alter native and make up his mind to accept without complaining an untidy homo and an eternal grind to keep his head above water wate. If he is willing to, pay this price he can strike the bar gain, But he should do it with his eyes open and with determination ta ken to stand cheerfully by tho conse quences of his decision, “On Time.” Harpor’a Weekly. “Among every one hundred men who become firemen only seventeen are ever made engineers,” says Warren S. Stone, chief of the Brotherhood of Loco motive Engineers, one of the most pow erful labor organizations in the world. ‘Out of every one hundred engineers only six ever get passenger runs. The next time you see a white-haired man on the cab of a big passenger locomo tive don’t wonder at all at his white hair, but make up your mind that he has the goods or he wouldn’t be there. It is a case of selection and the survi val of the fittest. It takes nerve to run the fast trains these days, for you sit at the throttle, tearing acrosB the country at the rate of more than a mile a minute, and if any one of the dozen people, down to the man who spiked the rails, hns made a mistake you ride to certain death.” The day when an engineer could drive his train ahead at full Bpeed, at his own discretion, and make up as much lost time as the recklessness of his daring permitted, has passed with, the roman tic age of railroading. No longer does he gamble thus with death to win back minutes. A cool-nerved human ma chine sits in an office miles away and tells him exactly how fast he may go. Mute signals stretch out their arms to him by day or glow red-eyed at night along the track and halt him if he rides too fast or if there is danger ahead. At intervals of from a thousand feet to five miles there is a tower with a man in it who notes the minute and second of his passing and telegraphs it forward and back over the line. Now adays the engineer is rarely out of touch with possible orders for more than a few minutes at a time. In place of the daring and the old speed mad ness that used to characterize tho mak ing up of time the man who lasts the longest now in the cab is the one who possesses tho calculating skill developed by long experience. He accomplishes much more simply by taking advantage of every trifle in winning back his time second by second. - Lagrippo pains that pervade the en tire system, lagrippe coughs that rack and strain, are quickly cured by Foley’s Honey and Tar.

It takes two persons, boys or girls, to perform this foat, which is very simple, but nevertheless mystifying to everyone who has not seen it. One of the performers leaves the room, and the door is closed so that he cannot hear what goes on. Then the company namos some object that the absent player is to tell when he re turns; When the object has been agreed upon the absent one is recalled, and the first performer says: “While you were out of the room I told the boys and girls here that if they would name some object, no mat ter what, you would guess ty the first trial on your return. Did you hear the object named? No, of course you did not, for the door was closed, and the name was spoken in so low a tone that you could not have heard. Now let me ask you "Was it a book?” “No.” “Was it a vase?” “No.” “Was it a chandelier?” "No.” “Was it a chair?” “No.” "Was it a flower?” “Yes.” \ Now, how did the player know that it was a flower? Simply because the understanding between tho two per formers is that the first performer, in asking these questions, names some four-legged object just before he names the one that the company has agreed upon. When, therefore, he asked, “Was it a chair?” his confederate knew that he would name tho real ob ject next, because a-chairhas four legs. A Safeguard to Children. “Our two children of six and eight years have been since infancy subject o colds and croup. About three years igo I started to ubo Foley’s Honey and far, and it has never failed to prevent ind cure these troubles.

On hiB last visit to Kansas City he was talking to an old friend, a physician. “Doc,” said the Colonel, "I wish you would tell me what is tho matter with my right leg. The left one is in good shape, but this right one has been growing gradually weaker for two years, and at times it pains me a great deal.” Questioning developed,that he had not had a fall or strain or hurt the suffer ing member in any way. “It can be caused by only one thing, ” said the phy sician, “and that is old age. You must remember, Colonel, you are no longer a young man." "Old age nothing!” exclaimed Butler. “Isn’t the other leg the same age?"— Kansas City Post. Is a tin can on a dog’s tail inevita ble?
