A Coon IDEA,-Secretary Edge, OF
the State Board of Agriculture, pro-
poses seed test. He says "Believ-
ing that our farmers do not realize the
low grade of many of the grass seeds
which they buy, it is proposed to inau.
guratc a test OF such seeds. The Sec
rotary requests that all parties inter
ested, whether as consumers, pro-
ducers, or dealers, furnish him by mail
with small samples, not exceeding one
or two ounces in weight. IL is pro
posed that each sample shall be cnti-
cally examined with a magnifying
glass, and the sample divided into the
following classes Good or perfect seed,
immature or unripe seed, true 10 the
sample, seeds foreign to the sample,
weed seeds and chaff and other impuri.
ties. Samples should be plainly di-
reeted to Secretary Penn'a Board oi
Agriculture, Harrisburg and should
bear the name Of the party forwarding
A postal card, mailed at the same time
as the sample, win convey the neces
sary information" If our Clearfeld
county farmers will avail Themselves
of this request, We can look for great
Improvement and beneficial results in
the pasture lands of this section. Stock
raising and wool-growing can be made
as thriving and profitable as mining OF
numbering and the land will be made
fertile, not impoverished.

feature of our prosperity as a people
that we have no need to expend a vast
portion of the products Of our varied

We have no outlying dependencies re-

port in a fight, or running away from
more formidable craft, are all that
we require. There is, however, abund-
ant room for improvement in our con.
struction Of war vessels. Our con.
structors must get wood out of their
heads. The ship of the future will be
steel ship. And we ought to be able
TO construct steel vessels at less cost

A BOOMER OUsTED ny MISTAKE
Rather an amusing incident recently
occurred in the Treasury Department,
Washington, in which a Sherman
"boomer" figured quite prominently.
The chief of the loan division, who is
naturalized citizen, is not at all up
in the mysteries of American politics
and official working. Some weeks
since he became satisfied that certain
clerk on the roll of his office was not
performing any duty, and he at once
recommended that his name be drop
ped. This was done in the usual rou-
tine Of the office without attracting
the notice Of the Secretary, In few
days, however, it became known that
Sherman "boomer" had been thrown
out on the cold charity Of the world,
and there was great commotion in
the Treasury Department. In very
short time tho "boomer" was reinstat-
ed He hailed from North Carolina,
and soon after his reinstatement went
home and took part in the proceedings
OF the State Committee which resulted
in the selection of Sherman delegates
to the Chicago Convention. The real
facts in the case are that Secretary
Sherman is filing that Office with a
host of political loafers who are put in
there to help "boom" John for Presi
dent. The verdancy of the author oi
the aforesaid incident will not break
out again.

sufferer. He knclt beside him, tenderly
raised the dropping head, rested II
gently upon his noble breast, and
poured the precious, lio.giving fluid
down the fever scorched throat. This
done he laid him tenderly down, placed
his knapsack under his head, straight
ened ont his broken limb, spread his
overcoat over him, replaced bis empty
canteen with full one, and turned TO
another sufferer BY this time his
purpose was well understood Oh both
sides, and all danger was over. From
all parts of the field arose fresh cries
Of "Water, wafer for Code sake
waterP More piteous still the mute
appeal of some who could only feebly
lift hand to say, here, too, is life and
suffering.
For an hour and halt did this minis.
terlng angel pursue his labor of mercy
nor ceased to go and return until he re-
lieved all the wounded on that part Of
tho field. He returned TO his post
wholly unhurt. Who shall say how
sweet bis rest that winters night be
meath the cold stones
Little remains to be told. Sergeant
Kirkland distinguished himself IN bat
tie at Gettysburg, and was promoted
to Lieutenant. AT Chickamauga he
fell on the field of battle, in the hour
of victory. He was buta youth when
called away, and had never formed
those ties from which might have re.

and bless his country but he has be.
