WHEN THE DEAR ONES ARE
AWAY.
When out from the home a loved one
Has left us and gone away,
The darkness of night seems darker.
And each day is a long, sad day.
They pass in slow procession.
With tread like a funeral train;
Only a dirge for their music!
Accompaniment of pain.
We thought when the dear ones were
with us
Life's burdens were hard to bear.
But we knew not how much harder
The lack of their loving care.
Alas, we are slow in discerning
That which to our comfort belongs,
We reach over the beautiful roses
And gather the ugly thorns.
We fret at what we call trouble;
Frown when we ought to smile;
Causing to those we love better than life
Sorrow and pain tho while.
fin we’re sitting in the shadow,
And w suffer while we wait.
Others say: "It yet is early,”
But to us it seems "so late.”
We failed to rejoice in the blessing
Which was ours that other day,
fik. the all-wise heavenly Teacher
Removed It from us away.
But when mercy again shall restore us
The presence of those whom we love.
We’ll prove that love by our doing—
Helping them up above.
Asking our Heavenly Father ,
For strength to carry our load.
And then have a share for the others ,
Who are near us on the road. (
And perhaps the light we're thus shed- ;
ding
Wil! f ill back on our way.
F - some time in the future
The dear ones may go—to stay. .

m Headaches are the danger signals of coming disease. Both men and
women suffer headaches, but periodical headache falls only to the lot of
women and is the unerring sign of irregular menstruation and bearing down
B pains. Completely prostrated by nine months of suppressed menses, blinded
B bv headaches and racked with pain Mrs. Show was made a strong and
B healthy woman again. Remember with V ine of t ardui no case is hopeless
B because this great remedy cures permanently nineteen out of every twenty
B cases and never fails to 'benefit a case of irregular menses, bearing down
B pains or any female weakness. If you are discouraged and doctors have
gs failed, try Wine of Cardui, and try it now. Remember that headaches
a mean female weakness. Secure a bottle of Wine of Cardui today.

then the fruit was taken out and the
sirup put on to boil. Just as that point
was reached the peaches were put in and
cooked until a light brown; they were
then drained of the sirup and placed on
dishes and the sunshine cooking began.
They were watched carefully and never
allowed to be out of the sun. The sirup
was boiled until a proper thickness and
then each morning a little of it was pour
ed over the fruit and the sun did the rest.
This must be done for several days. You
can tell when your preserves are done by
the sirup—lt will thicken like jelly. Straw
berries are done in the same way; also
figs. It requires care-and patience to bring
your preserves to perfection, but one Is
fully reward, d if they preserve.

HEART TO HEART TALKS.
“Though ye have lain among the pots,
yet shall yc be ns tho wings of a dove,”
Ps. xviii, 13.
There prevailed an old custom in tho
city of Cairo never to remove old broken
pitchers and pots. A visitor to that coun
try tells us that "a little before sunset
th" pigeons would emerge from behind
this rubbish. It was beautiful to see those
birds risinv. cleen and ipisoiled, as doves
always do, from tho dust and dirt tn
which they had boon hidden, soaring aloft
till nearly out of sight among tho sunset
clouds.”
Tho writer compares Hu’s to a believer
"who leaving behind him tho corruption of
the world, is rendered brighter by the sun
of righteousness shining upon his soul
and rises higher and higher, nearer and
nearer to the light till lost to the view
of those who stay behind, bo has passed
into the unknown brightness above."
What a. beautiful thought’ While obliged
to lay among the sins and temptations of
earth and feel t'**'* dust of the "broken
pots and pitchers" of sin, yet like the
dx'VOs and pigeons, we can rise clean and
unsoilod and leave behind us the corrup
tions of the world, if the light of the sun
of righteous only shines upon our soul.
We, too. can then pass Into the "un
known brightness above" and the dirt in
which we have lain leaves us. and. like
the dove who "soars aloft among the
sunset clouds." our souls rise pure and
unsoilod. earth’s rubbish left behind as «o
enter the "home of the soul."
Take courage, faint heart, and believe
"though ye have lain among the pots, yet
shall ye be as the wings of a dove"—pure
and spotless.

go, and made it rich from the lot. I
plapted them out the middle of April.
They soon commenced blooming and the

since. I never had to water them at

crowds of weary, grimy people will be

Among the whistles I can distinguish
the deep, hoarse ones of tho great Swift

lous growth of Fort Worth as well as
bringing much money to all live stock

Every one should have primroses to bloom
in the house in winter; they require but
little sun. I kept three lovely ones in a
northeast window in my room last winter
and they bloomed lavishly. Seed should
have been sown in May. I send greet
ings to all my floral friends made
through this medium. Many have be
come very dead friends whom I’ve learn
ed to love and long to know personally.
"Constitution friends” I call them. Some
of them have been passing 'neath the
rod of God's afflicting hand. Only a few
days ago this message camo to me. It
said: "Fray for me, my friend, for the
‘waves and the billows have gone over me’
and every hope I had lies burled in the
grave of my dear, dear husband,” and
not long since this came from another:
"My dear brotho died on the 11th of
June.” How mu u ;• mpathy we feel—not
only for these we have a personal interest
in. but for the many whose broken hearts
lie bleeding and whose hopes are burled
in the graves of loved ones. There is
naught we can do save bow In submission
to our divine Father and say, "Thy will
bo done.” Then, too, there ate sorrows
more deep than the putting a.way of our
departed dead. "A living trouble is worse
than a. d«-ad one.” I remember a story I
come very dear friends whom I’ve learn
once heard told, I think, by one. of our
own physii’kins, which I shall always
remember. A Utile child lay sick unto
death and the mother in her agony plead
with God just to spare the little life. Sho
did not say, "If it be Thy will.” God
heard her prayer and lite was spared, but
that, which is more precious than life
mind—was gone. It is only a sublime
faith that can look up in God's face and
whisper
"Thy way, not. mine, O Lord,
However dark it be,
o lead me by Thine own right hand,
LOoose out the path for me.
Smooth let it be or rougii,
It wili be still the best;
M inding or straight, it matters nut,
It leads me to Thy rest.
Cheneyville, La.—Several months have
slipped away since 1 last held sweet con
verse with the dear sisterhood, so when
today's mail brought to me the dear old
Constitution, I felt as .1 read the nice
letters contained |’.i the Woman’s King
dom, that I, too, must write, and let
them all know of the welfare of a Louis
iana sister, Mho is interested in each
one 'hat forms our band. Let me tell you
all of the glorious crops of corn, cotton,
cane, and potatoes, that now lie spread
out in the great «jelds of this neighbor
hood. I do not think I ever saw greater
promise of each, and with no providential
interference, the yield of each will be
enormous. God has certainly poured out
some of His richest blessings upon us.
The health of our community is splendid,
there's little or no sickness among the
white population, and fe.w cases of fever
among the negroes considering their im
prudence and careless way of living.
Cotton is beginning to open, and the
picking season is drawing near, already
the owners of the large gins in our little
village of Jhento -ille. are trying their
engines to see if they r > werk smoothlj ;
and the whistles scream out letting the
farmers know that the fleecy staple will
be welcome. We have had an abundance
of tine vegetables this year, and plenty
of fruit for canning, and now down in
my dairy there's a long shelf thickly set
with half gallon and quart jars of pre
serves. fresh fruit, and sweet pickle, yes,
and quite a lot of glasses of lovely apple
jelly, and in a large stone jar I have
quite a suppl.', of beautiful butter, so you
see, sisters dear, I am getting ready for
the. cold days of winter. I hope to be
able to gather a nice lot of large pecans
also and my "better naif” has already
brought in the pop-corn out of the gar
den, he knows how fond 1 am of It, so
he always plants a row especially for
my benefit. Os course, the dear little
grandchildren come in for their share
and they think it splendid, when they
can come up to grandma's and get
pecans and popcorn and hunt guinea
eggs oat in the orchard and swing out
under tho big cedar tree and in the two
hammocks that adorn the long gallery.
O, how sorry wo all are to learn of the
serious illness of “Bill Arp,” the staunch
friend of our beautiful Southland, I feel
sure that I speak truthfully when I say,

sent up to G‘/l that the days of this
noble man might be lengthened, my heart
goes out in deepest sympathy to the de
voted wife, and loving children in this,
their great sorrow. Mr. Smith’s gentle
sweetness and unfailing goodness have
won him a place in every southern wo
man’s affections. Wo all miss his letters
in the Constitution, and hope most sin
cerely he will soon be able to be with us
again. Now a few words about my flow
ers and 1 will close, as I don't want to
tire the patience of dear Aunt Susie.
The great amount of rain that has fallen
this summer has made my cannas and
dahlias gorgeous, also the rtidbeki.a.
l.ave reveled In it, and are now giving
me so many of their beautiful bright
blossoms, my roses are blooming as if
'twas spring time. The long row of new
"mums” that I bought last s/irlng are
great bushy things, and when the cool
crisp days of autumn come I hope to
enjoy great clusters of these lovely flow
ers. My potted plants are in their glory,
all have made a most wonderful growth.
Dear "Sister” in N. C., I send you greet
ing, and let mo tell you the rhododen
dron you sent to me last year has taken
kindly to its new home hero In Louis
iana, and is growing splendidly, and I
hope will bloom next spring. Our pro
tracted meeting Is in session now, and
as 1 am organist and the hour has ar
rived for me to be off to church, I'll
bid von all a loving bood-bye.
MRS. \V. J. S. JOHNSON.
Thanks for mich a bright cheery letter,
how refreshing to read such. Aunt Susie
feels like exclaiming' with the poet:
“Backward turn backward, oh! time In
your flight—
Make me a child again"—or a grand
child to get pecans and pop corn, and
bun! guinea eggs out in the orchard,
and swing out under the big cedar tree,
etc., blessed are the grand children who
have such a home to visit.

THE PASSING THRONG.
The man who collects statistics ex
plained that he had something new to
communicate the other morning—some
information in regard to the religious
beliefs of the governors of the various
states.
“I find," said he, “that there are more
non-church members among the execu
tive heads of the several states than
there are members of any one religious
denomination. The Methodists are in
the lead, with the Presbyterians and
Baptists second and third. In the list Is
one Quaker and one Mormon.
“I have learned, however, that all the
non-members are not non-attendants of
church. Several of them go regularly
and give generously to the congregation
of their choice though they have never
formally embraced the faith.
“On the other hand there are many of
the church members who do not attend
regularly but leave church matters en
tirely to the care of other members of
their families. There are however a num
ber of governors noted for their piety.
“I have here a list which shows the
religious status of each of the gover
nors," and as he spoke he showed his
auditors a typewritten paper which read
as follows:

A well-known citizen of Atlanta, was
a companion of Dr. Henry McDonald,
the former popular Atlanta minister, on
a European tour when the former was
about twenty-one years of age. He re
called and retold yesterday some of the
amusing things which happened, the re
sults of Dr. McDonald's pure love
of fun, backed by his good humor and
reaily wit.
“We saw the tomb of Lord Nelson
together,” said this gentleman, “and we
two were members of quite a party of
sightseers. With us was a. pompous in
dividual, a perfect type of the pompous,
egotistical Britisher. He seemed to think
himself some kind of superior being,
placed on this earth for the purpose of
enlightening less fortunate people in re
gard to everything in general.
"At Nelson's tomb he grew particu
larly Impressive, or sought to do so at
least, and delivered a lecture on it for
tiie benefit of all the others. He swelled
up with importance and looked particu
larly condescending as he said:
“ 'Here, gentlemen, is the tomb of Ad
miral Lord Nelson, the great sea cap
tain. Look at it. This outer sarcophagus
weighs 40 tons. It Is of the finest marble.
■Within is a steel coffin. It weighs sev
eral tons, as does the lead one still within
it. Enclosed by all these Is a magnificent
mahogany coffin, weighing many stone.
There the sacred ashes of the great hero
repose, while sightseers and the curious
come and gaze.'
“With that he struck an altitude and
regarded the people about him with a
look of the man who thinks he has de
livered a crushing intellectual blow, and
as much as to say: 'Now, what do you
ordinary duffers think of that?'
"We 'ordinary duffers’ said nothing for
a moment, busy thinking of wh u a bore
this fellow was, and then Dr McDonald
stepped quietly forward, looked long ami
steadily at the splendid sarcophagus.
Finally he turned to the Englishman and
raid:
" 'After what you say and what I can
see I'm compelled to say that I believe
you have him pretty well fastened up.
But if he should get out just telegraph
me at my expense.’
' "The pompous Englishman suddenly
drooped and after that his silence was as
noticeable as his garrulity had previously
been. Dr. McDonald had completely
dumbfounded and silenced him.
“But If he nettled the egotistical Eng
lishman the doctor made friends with al
most every other European ho came in
contact with.

Dialect in Mag-azines.
Editor Constitution: Has not the north
and its papers and magazines disturbed
the negro enough without indulging in
the publication of alleged dialect poems
and so-called dialect stories emanating
from northern writers who wouldn't know
a persimmon tree from a gourd vine’’ It
is bad enough that Paul Lawrence Dun
bar sir.mid have a bearing; but at least,
if he doesn't know how to dialect, he is
a negro. The negro dialect, properly
handled, is essentially picturesque, fall
of humor, wit. pathos and human nature.
It passes understanding how a reputable
magazine- Ilarper's—ca.n publish such rot
as "Lil Brown Feet" near Its "Editor's
Easy Chair" department; unless the ed
itor Is "easy,” too!. It is time that the
northern reading public should awake to
its rights, and rebel against having foist
ed upon it a jangle of phonetic, spelling,
mixed to rhyme Witness tho following
unspeakable ‘iiianation from one Victor
A. Hermann in Harper's magazine for
September:
Lil' Brown Feet.
Oveh de san’-hill. nndeh de pine,

Tangled eu tohn in de bracbehhy vine—

Oveh de hillside, undeli de tree.

On second thought, perhaps I have
been misled. Maybe Mr. Hermann in
