Oh General Garfield is the choice
OF valley, dale and glen;
And he must be our president,
So say all loyal men.
Hurrah for the farmerl
Hurruh for the iarmerl
Hurrah for the farmer
Well shout II once again.
He's trod the weary tow-path,
He's burned the midnight oil,
And knowledge sought that he might win
Reward Of honest toll.
He's titled the earth aud sowed II;
He plowed it always deep;
And now the habrcsts coming
That he deserves 10 reap.
The soldier and the statesman
Aud bontman all combined;
He'll make the greatest president
That We can ever find.

in selecting to whom he yielded. The
gentleman should not interrupt so
iluently. When a gentlem an wanted
to interrupt another he should ask for
leave TO do 80.
Mr.. Keifer-I thoughtyou addressed
q remark to me.
Mr. Cox-I have not addressed any
one except "Mr. Speaker" He wanted
the gentlemen to understand that in vo-
ting against this bill they were striking
their candidate under the fifth RIB,
Referring to AIR. Hawley's allusion to
the River and Harbor bill, Mr.. Cox
SAID he had opposed 1t. Both parties
were responsible for that outrageous
bill, He argued that the Democratic
party had performed its duty by acts
and not by words. The country knows
what has been done at Chicago They
know that the man nominated there is
vulnerable. In the nomination that
was to follow the Democracy would be
vindicated in spite Of Radicalism and
all denominations. [Applause.]
Mr.. Hutchins was bound TO presume
that all men on both sides wanted free
and fair elections and he believed that
this bill would accomplish it. He re-
ierred TO the elections in New York,
and argued that the elections there, rs
a rule, had been conducted fairly.
Debate was then closed and the
House proceeded to vote on the
amendments.
The amendments offered by Repub
lican members were all rejected. They
were mainly in such form as TO re-
store the law to what it is at present.
An amendment was adopted on mo-
tion OF Mr. Carlisle, so as to make the
second section Of the bill read as fol-
lows:
"SEo 2. That all deputy marshals
TO serve in reference TO any election
shall be appointed by the Circuit Court
of the United States for the district IN
which marshals are TO perform their
duties in each year, and the judges Of
] lut btNtIul OlIGull NOulNo VI buS
United States are hereby authorized
TO open their respective Courts at any
time for that purpose, and in case the
Circuit sCourts shall not be open for
that purpose at least ten days prior
to registration, if there be one, or if
no registration be required, then at
least ten days before such election,
the Judges of the District Courts of
the United States are hereby respect
lively authorized to cause their Courts
to be opened for the purpose of ap-
pointing such deputy marshals, who
shall be appointed by the sand District
Courts and the officers so appointed
shall be equal in numbers from the
different political parties, and shall be
well known citizens Of good moral
character, and actual residents Of the
voting precincts in which their duties
are to be performed, and shall not be
candidates for any Office at such elee-
tion and all laws and parts of laws
inconsistent with this act are hereby
repealed"
The amendment necessitates the
sending of the bill back to the Senate
After passing the bill the House ad

Just before the circus opened recent.
ly in Detroit, y woman accompanied
by her son, a boy about sixteen years
OF age, appeared on the grounds and
was first at the ticket wagon. When
the window was opened the mother
said to the ticket.seller;
"If you will be so kind as to let
poor widow womans Johnny into the
circus he will carry water to the ele-

"Stand back, madam, stand back !"

She took her boy by the hand and
marched TO the entrance of the big

"My Johnny is going to carry hay

"You and your Johnny carry your

emphatic reply.
Couldn't we both go in for ten
cents, il we set on the ground y
"No, ma am Stand back, now you

They fell back for consultation.

mother looked determined.

IN THE NooNrIpE LET ME DIE.

IN THE NoONTIDE LET ME DIE.
Who would wait till the shadows o { evening
Spread the gloom Of the night Ger his way,
And still cling to the world he Ia leaving
Till the world does not care for his stay
Let me sleep while the daylight Is shining,
while.the sun still illumes all the day,
While my yigor still knows no declining
In the noontde Of life let me die.
Ere my sight or my hearing has failed me,
Or the hopes have cherished are dead
Ere the sorrows Of age have assailod me,
Or the relish Of living has fed
While the warmth and the glow arc remaining,
And the pulse Of my soul beateth nigh
Ere the strength ofmy manhood is waning
In the noontide Of life let me die
Who would lnger for years In his dotage,
To be reckoned again as q child
As the "old man" or woman unnoticed,
Or app eased with smpering smile
II the life "oyer there" Is immortal,
Aud its youthfulness never goes by,
| would hasten to knock at Its portal
In the noontide OF life let me die.
As the apple when ripe should be gathered,
II Its flavor should be held at their best
II It hang in the chill Autumn weather
II will fail in the epieure's test
So the, fruitago Of life seems the iittest
For the gRrners of God up on high,
When the soul is the strongest and richest
In the noontide Of life let me die.
Though The friends who SO foudly have loved ny
May be sad as they lay me away
Though the thoughtless may harshly reproye me
For the wish nave uttered to day;
Though bow to the will Of the Father
And would wait for His time as the best,
If lie would leave Il to me would rather
Ere the noOntide Is goae be at rest.

by. The Friends heart was touched
by his appearance, for he looked old,
feeble and poor. He stepped out,
shook hands with him and said:

BURDETTE on THE MACK
BERRY.


The greatest enemy the blackberry
has is boys Five boys from town can
eat more green blaclSberries in day
than would ripen IN week. For many
years the great desideratum has been
hardy berry that could resist the pre-.
mature onslaught Of boys from town.
1t is great deslderatum still The
Schneider variety that was invented
by an Iowa horticulturist, is the near.
est approach to it, 1t is bred from u
perfectly green pcrsimmon crossed
with a dogwood tree, and still further
propagated with a hybrid of worm.
wood bush and wild crabapple. 1t is
not a perfect defense, but there are a
very few boys who care to eat more
than quart Of them Nobody else,
however, can 60 past the field where
the Schneider is growing, without be.
ing attacked by Asiatic cholera, and
this tends to weaken the partial sue
cess this hardy berry has achieved.
Then there is bug-l do not know
the name of it-that crawls over the
berries now and then. When you eat
berry that has been glorified by
visit from this bug, you lie down in the
briars and pray Heaven to take you
home in just about three seconds. And
If you live you can wake up in the
night, along in the middle OF next
Winter, and shudder as You taste of
that berry.
When your blackberries grow too
thickly, you will want to thin them
out. To this end, you must kill some
OF them. This can be done by digging
well where the plant stands then
turn the farm upside down and let it
dry out thoroughly for couple of
years, then turn ii over, upside down,
and start brickyard on the back oft.
This will kill off some of the plants.
There may besome shorter and cheaper
method ofkilling blackberry vines than
this, but have never heard of it, and
it isn't likely that there is any.
If you want TO devote about forty
acres OF ground to the cultivation Of
blackberries, plant about three healthy
vines in some corner Of the field, about
the middle Of April. Then about the
first of May the man who owns the
farm on the other side the road will
bring civil action against you, and try
to collect damages for destruction of
his two fields Of wheat by raid of
blackberry vines.
1t is not known just at what season
Of the year blackberries ripen, The
blackberry has never been known to
ripen. II the hucksters and boys
should all die in Juue, it is probable
that the berries would ripen some time
IN July or August. But they have
never had a chance to see what they
could do at ripeuing.-Burlhgton
HaCkeye.
