Little empty cradle, treasured now with care, Though the precious burden, it has ’ i fled; ' How we miss the locks of curly goldI en hair I Peeping from the tiny, snow-white , bed. I When the dimpled cheek and little laughing eyes From the rumpled pillow shone, Then I gazed with gladness, now I look | and sigh— Empty is the cradle, baby's gone. I Baby left her cradle for the golden i shore, 'o’er the silvery waters she has flown. Gone to join the angels, peaceful I evermore — Empty is the cradle, bay’s gone. I Near a shady valley stands a grassy j mound, 'Underneath, my little darling sleeps; Blossoms sweet and roses cluster all I aroitnd, Overhead the willow slilent weeps. There I laid my loved one in the long I ago, And mv heart doth sadly moan, Though she’s with the angels, still I 1 fain would weep—jEmpty is cradle, baby’s gons.

State Is Rich tn Marl And Limestone IndlanapoliH, Ind., Dec, ir>— (SporIni) —Ground litfiMtone and mnrl have come into increased demand for ugricultural years, and the state Is rich in those natural resources, Dr, W. N. Ixigan. state geologist under the conservation department, points out. it is pretty generally understood that these substances are used for the purpose of neutralizing acids in soils, and to further improve the texture of heavy soils. Free acids In soils detrimental to the growth of general farm crops, ami many soil areas require the addition of some form of lime before leguminous crops can he grown. In southern Indiana very little marl exists, says Dr. Logan, but thick ledges of limestone outcrops over a large part of the central portion of the area. This limestone may be crushed and used in the powdered form. While the outcrops of limestone are not so abundant in northern Indiana because of the covering of glacial drift, there are extensive deposits of marl connected with the lakes of that region. Marl is found also in some

marsh areai, along the courses of gome streams, and in the filled hasins of extinct lakes. The marl octrees, the report stoys, in beds varying In thickness from a few feet to forty feet, and occupies areas varying in size from u few acres! to one thousand acres Marl Is found 1 beneath the waters of the lakes, along the shores, under deposits ot muck and peut in marshes, and in the filled basins of extinct lakes or arms of lakes. These Indiana marls consist principally of calcium carbonate and magnesium with much smaller amounts of clay, sand, and organic matter. “The Handbook of Indiana Geology," prepared under direction of Dr. Ixigan, and the annual report for 1900, contain complete discitsions of Indiana marl. —— D. Brown, of west of the city, was a business visitor here this afternoon. o Why not attend the dance after the Bo» Social at the old Gym, Wednesday evening, at 9 o’clock? “The Night Owls” will syncopate for 35c per couple, or 25c single admission. 295t2 —.ii■■ i o —The Daily Democrat—Your Paper—
