S.i d “Begone Kaiser Bill, we don’t
want you here."
Well said the Kaiser, “that's very
uncivil.
I suppo-i' after that I must go to the
devil?"
S-. he turned on hi- heel and off he
did go
V the top of hi< speed to tlie regions I
below.
A::d when he got there he was tilled
with dismay
When waiting outside he heard Old
Nick say
To his imps- "Now. look here. boys.
I give you a warning,
i n. ••vp.-i ting the Kaiser down here
in the morning.
But don't let him in. for to me it's

then cried.

go?"

know.”
"Oh. do let me in. I'm weary and
cold."
Said the Kaiser, quite anxious to en
ter Nick’s fold.
Let m» sn m a corner, no matter how
hot."
No!" -aid the devil, ‘"most certainly
not.
We don’t admit people for riches or
pen;
"Here are sulphur and matches—
make a hell for yourself.”
Th* :: he kicked Wilhelm out and van
i-hed in smoke.
And just at that moment the Kaiser
awoke.
He jumped out of bed in a shivering
sweat.
And said: 'Well, that dream I shall
never forget.

very well.
Hut it's really too had to be kicked

if the wind had been from almost any

SUGAR BEETS MAKE GOOD TABLE
SYRUP.
Sugar beets are grown in iarge quan
! lities for sugar making, but their value
as a source of the family syrup supply
: has been overlooked. Sugar beets suit
able for syrup making may be grown
wherever soil of reasonable fertility is
. available. The sweetness of the beets
I may be greater in one locality than in
another, but all sugar beets contain
| sugar enough to make syrup. A few
rows iu your garden will produce
enough beets to make all the syrup a
family will need. These sugar beets
require from four to six months for
proper development.
When ready for harvesting, they
are topped by cutting off the crowns
at the point of the lowest leaf scar, as
the crown contains much of the salts
taken up during growth. They are
cleaned by soaking a few minutes,
and then scrubbing. Then cut them in
slices as thin as possible. The sliced
beets are then placed in a tight barrel
and enough boiling water to cover their
is poured in at once. Cover with sever
ral thicknesses of canvass to hold the
heat. Soak for about an hour, shaking
the barrel at times, but not removing
the covering. The liquid is then drawn
off. strained through several thickness
es of cheesecloth, and placed in a ket
tle or other vessel, in which it is
boiled until it has evaporated down to
the thickness desired. It is important
that the boiling be slow and the pro
cess will take several hours. The work
may be done outdoors if desired. Care
should be taken not to scorch the
syrup. The scum rising to the surface
should be removed. Bottle the syrup
while hot. and seal to prevent molding.

OBITUARY.
The death of Dr. Kearns was so
sudden that people were shocked at
the announcement Friday morning that
he had passed to the great beyond
without their knowledge of his even
being sick, which was known to but a
few of his intimate friends.
While he was writing to one of his
sons Thursday afternoon, he was seiz
ed with a sudden pain in the chest,
which developed to be acute indiges
tion. He was sit k all of Thursday
night and on Friday morning was
some better and he got up and dress
ed and walked around the yard, and
on going in the house he was seized
with a spell which undoubtedly af
fected his heart, for lie passed away
within a few minutes and his spirit
had flown to the great beyond al
most in the twinkle of an eye.
Dr. Archibald J. Kearns was born
near the city of Vinton. Iowa. October
11. 1858. and grew to manhood there.
He graduated from Tilford Academy.
June 15, 1S82, and from Missouri

partment of Washington University

fession. at Loup City. Nebraska,
where he resided until his death. He
was married to Elsie M. Viles at Vin
ton. Iowa. November 24. 1887,
Dr. Kearns was a consistent chris
liau man. uniting with the First
Presbyterian church of Vinton. Iowa,
when he was thirteen years of age and
at the time of his death he was a mem
ber of the First Presbyterian church
of Loup City, Nebraska.
Dr. Kearns was prominent in the
work of his profession. He became a
member of the Loup Valley medical
society in 1S87 and became a mem
ber of the National Association of rail
way surgeons in 1SS9 and served as
local surgeon for the Burlington rail
road company for ten years. He was
also elected a member of the Ameri
can Medical Association in June, 1901
and the Nebraska Medical society in
May of the same year.
Dr. Kearns was a member of the fol
lowing lodges at the time of his death:

mourn his loss, his wife and twrt
sons, Raymond V. of Pekin. 111., and

eon. the Masonic order having charge
of the services, assisted by the order
of the Eastern Star. Rev. E. M. Steen
preached the funeral services at the
church, and at the grave the Masonic
order paid the last said ights of a

pessive ceremony. Members of the Ma
sonic lodge were present in large

numbers from all the neighboring
towns. Six ' doctors, all members of
ers. and the remains were laid to rest
in the Evegreen cemetery.
This closes the last cnapter of a use
ful citizen. D. Kearns has not lived
in vain, for he gave to the country
two useful sons, both ministers of the
gospel, who will do their share to help
make the w-orld better.—Contributed.

SODIUM FLUORIDE FOR LICE.
Farmers' Bulletin No. 801. recetly is
sued by the United States Department
of Agriculture, recommends the use
of sodium fluoride for the treatment of
chicken lice. When used in powder
! form, it is sprinkled into the feathers,
: about the fluff, underneath the wings,
j ou the neck, and on the under parts
of the body. It may also be used as a
[ dip. in which case 1 ounce of the com
mercial powder is dissolved in 1 gallon
of water. The entire body of the fowl,
excepting the head, is immersed in this
solution. One pound will treat 100 fowls
its cost being 40 to 50 cents a pound.
Heretofore, sodium fluoride has been
used effectively in eradicating cock
roaches, and it was only recently ac
cepted as good treatment for the eradi
cation of the chicken iouse. It is very
effective, as it is said to kill any of
the seven species of lice which infest
chickens.
