TinOthY.

Timothy has been grown upon Col.
Thompson s farmf for the past eight years,
yielding each successive year better crop
than the year before. Farmer Wallace
reports that when the prairie sod is sub
dued blue grass comes up of itself, and
he is therefore confident it is indigenous
TO the country. Glover also thrives, while
thousands of dollars are lost to the coun-
try annually by not having stock to eat
up the rich and nutritious native grass.

When COWS leak their milk they should
be milked three times a day Sometimes
the leaking may be stopped by. applying
some photographers collodion over the

the collodion dries, which it does very
quickly, the film contracts and draws the

Against the Republican Party.
Afchisou CknmbfoH,

The article, 1--WE Don't Want You"
from the Leavenworth Times, will bear
reading. Probably some of the Times
references are intended to have local
rather than a general significance, but
much that the Times says is calculated
for every latitude. Republicans may as
well understand that their party, from
this out, will have whisky to fight. A
A good many republicans have wished to
avoid this fight, but they are in for it
now. Every saloon, every hole-in -the-wall,
is against the Republican party In Kan
sas. AS this fact becomes clearer men
will take sides "for keeps" All who are
from policy, lack of moral sense, the force
of habit, or other cause for whisky will go
to the Democratic party; all who are
against whisky will go to the Republican
party. The struggle may be arduous and
uncertain. but whisky will beat any
party, just as it will beat any individual,
and at the end of some hard-fought
political battle in the future the Demo
cratic party viii be fonnd dead on the
field with a broken and stopperless Jug
beside its ,ifeless form.

IRE LEVEL AND TIE SQUARE.

We meet upon the Level and We part upon 'ii'
What words o: precious meaning those words ME-
sonic are.
Come let us contemplate them; they are worthy Oh
thought,
In the very soul of Masonry those precious words are
wrought.
We meet upon the Level, though from every station
brought
The monarch from his palace, the laborer from his
cot;
For the king must drop his dignity when knocking
at our door,
And tbe poorest is his equal he walks the checker
We net upon the Plumb tits our Masters great com
mand;
We walk upright in virtues way and lean to neither
hand,
The Alseeing Eye that reads our hearts VIII bear
witness true
That will try to honor God and give each man nj
due.
We part upon the Square, for the world must have 1t
due,
We minple with the multitude, but keep our secret
true;
green,
And we long upon the Level to renew happy scene.
There's world where all are equal; we are hurry
ing to it fast;
We shall meet upon the Level there when the gate
of death are passed,
We shall stand before the Orient, md our Maste
will be there
Our works to try, our lives to prove with Gods III
erring Square.
We shall meet upon the Level there, but never theme
depart
There's mansion bright and glorious set for tn
pure in heart,
There's IN everlasting welcome from the hosts II
ioicing there,
Who have met upon the Level and been tried upo
the Square.
Let us meet upon the Level, then, while laborin
patiently here;
Let us meet and let us labor, tho the labor be 81
we're,
Already In the Western sky the Signs bid us prepaI
To gather up cur Working Tools and part upon IL
Square.
Hands round, then, Brother Masons, gather in Il
Golden Chain;
We part upon the square below to meet In Heave
again.
Each tie that has been broken here shall be cemen
ed there,
And none be lost around Gods Throne who partt
on the Square.

A Lecture to NuMbSkuilS.
Norton CkampiOn,


The beauty and symmetry of the English
sentences are marred by nearly every
newspaper coming to this office. A
neighboring paper in mockwise pc liti-
cal editorial uses the initial sentence,
SJohn Sherman done good work III OHIO"
All the wisdom that might occur after
such a line to Us seems unlearned. In
giving pointers as to proper superln-
tendent the Same paper says:
81 admire person, be 1t a man or Wo-
| man who attend strictly to their business,
and where you find such a one, you can
expect that they will carry through what
ever they undertake" ,
The verbs and the pronouns are out OF
harmony. The reasoning is not clear,
based upon that commonplace, attending
to ones own business. All who do SO
are not logically bound to prevail IN I'M
dertakings. We desire our progressive
readers to profit by these criticisms. The
grammatical construction OF sentences
must be learned in textbooks; rhetorical
congruity, through careful reading. An
example from this article:
"And although she has chosen the edu-
cational zpoyks of Life in which to tread,
and for which She seems most happily
qualified, I venture to say that there is
not lad y in the land any better read IN
the current literature of the day tia" s'e.'
It is clear, rhetoric requires work to be
walk, road or path Sin which to tread.
Works are not trodden, properly. "Ihau
she" is redundant, neutrality-suspicious.
doubtful as to correctness. ethan whom
none higher sat-" from Milton, may sug-
gest the objective form. Another error
from the same paper runs:
"The Indian and tomahawk, the ruttian
and revolver, were important, ii not pre-
dominant factors in its social and pollti,
cal fabric"
Factors and fabric do not appear II
the same relation: the first requires pro
duct; the last, thread, wool or web. Let
no pupil neglect the study of language
To YOU grammar is dull study, because
YOU are not sharp, keen, to cut bright
way through it. If you close your gram
mar, close your mouth. Remember thai
nearly ever sentence you utter or heal
! contains disfgured, mutilated, murder
cd word. Until you master grammar
your words are so many witnesses testl
| tying to your horrible slaughter OF limo
cent parts of speech.
