MY MOTHER.

Still to my cheek in dreams are pressed
Those lips that kissed me first of all;
Those eyes that watched my infant rest
In tadeless memory on me fall.
Those hands, that voice, ne er forget,
That smile-each look, and touch and tone
Survives, lingering sweetness yet
Ot the dear life that gave my own.
Her love that soothed my earliest cry
l could not thank so long ago;
Who sang my softest lullaby
Twas too young and weak to know.
No Weakening reason taught me then
10 prize my mother at her best,
And find her most my angel when
She held me helpless on her breast.
So grew my debt In long arrears,
TIL time was lent to learn her worth
Through more than fifty patient years
Beyond the morning of my BIRTH
Then came the change Watched the bed
OF her who o'er my cradle smiled.
Inc anxious love on weakness shed
Was mine-and she was now the child.
Her weary head had done with thought,
Her weary heart with care and fear;
kissed her. but she knew me not;
called her, but she could not hear.
There was no pain in that farewell
For her. | bore my grief away,
And wiped the secret tears that fell
In silence with the falling day.
That evening saw her breathing cease:
And round her, aS a babe caressed,
Closed soft, like lowering arms, the peace
OF Him her faith had long confessed.

And love will find thee though the void

Where joys pure sunshine has no end.

CROP-BOuND EOWLS.
How to Remove DISTINCTIONS in the
Passage to the Gizzard.

How to Remove DISTINCTIONS in the
Passage to the Gizzard.
When the crop becomes hard and
swollen to an unusual size it indicates
that the passage from the crop to the
gizzard is closed or stopped up. The
usual mode of relief is to cut the crop
and remove the contents, but this will
avail nothing unless the obstruction in
the passage to the gizzard be removed.
The obstruction will usually be found
to consist of old rope, bagging, dried
grass, rag or some other material
which has been packed in the passage
during the effort to force it into the
gizzard. Now for the treatment Hold
the bird firmly and make an incision
about an inch in length, across the
crop, and about one third the distance
up, first pulling the outer skin to one
Size. Then empty the crop of it's con-
tents. Next examine for the obstruc-
tion.by probing with the finger into the
passage way, pulling out the material.
doing the mischief. Now wash
the crop with warm water, adding five
drops carbolic acid to pint of water.
Tie the inner skin together with
piece of silk thread, after stitching it
with q fine needle, and pull the outer
skin over the wound, stitching it in
like manner. The fowl will suffer no
Inconvenience. Separate it from the
the others, and feed on soft food for a
few days, and it will show no signs of
the operation. When bird is crop
bound it starves with a full crop. That
is, if the crop is full and the passage
closed, no food can enter the gizzard.
Being hungry the bird picks up food
wherever it can be found, the crop
becoming more and more distended,
and it dies from exhaustion, although
in its crop there may be an excess of
food. No injury will result from the
cutting if properly performed. Farm,

Discovery OF Ancient works.

A party of land prospectors recently
came upon some ancient works near Sha-
wano. They first found what appeared to
be the ruins of an old well, walled up with
stones, in which moderate supply of cold
water was found. They removed the
stones, which had caved in, to a depth of
about three feet. Furthar examination
revealed the fact that the ground around
was regularly paved with stones for at
least an acre, varying from three feet deep
IN the center to foot at the outer edges.
The stones are covered with moss, which
may be rolled up like blanket, disclosing
the stone as clean as if water-washed. The
country about is timbered and trees two
feet in diameter are growing above the
ruins, while the forms of prior genera
ton of trees even larger lie in moss and de-
cay at their feet and above the ruins also

ABSTRACT BUSINESS.

If no other evidence were wanted to show
that Wichita real estate is becoming q big
thing then the large number of clerks en-
gagged on abstracts and transfers might be
conclusive. a glance into the office of the
register of deeds shows that from six to
eight clerks are constantly engaged in keep
ing up the various sets of abstract books of
city and county property. The exact num-
Der of abstracts of real property of the
county Is not known to the reporter, but
there are four or FIVE complete sets, and a
larger number of index abstracts and some
partial abstracts of fractional parts of the
county.
At the real estate offices there are well on
TO fifty clerks or more who do clerical duty
in abstracts and transferring property, as
well as large number of civil engineers,
who appear to be constantly engaged in
their work. When IL is considered that this
is new country, and consequently less
complicated in titles, it shows that there is
more change in real estate in one year here
than in old counties in the east in half
dozen. Should this heavy business in sales
continue, as they undoubtedly will, then
the real estate business will become an in
dustry, as the more sales so tie more cleri-
cal work is required. Record books will
and the index books become cum
bersom, and sea of writing will have to
be culled TO arrive at the point desired.

preciated by all VINO heard him. At the re-
guest of the superintendent and teachers OF
this department, the Professor sang selec-
ton for the students, for which he received
a vote of thanks ard a most cordial invita-
ton TO call again.
The attendance the past week was good.
Miss Fisher the new teacher at the First
ward is succeeding finely. Mrs. Embree.

nounced success. The young folks
did well. Prof Shull had the sub
ject of the Infnitive and Participle.
His explanations, diagams and methods of
treating these different parts of grammar
showed that he was master of the situation.
Questions were asked by Miss Nicely, Prof.
Abbott and Superintendent Campbell and
the discussion became quite interesting, but
Mr.. Shull answered all in satisfactory
manner.
Miss Hays gave . valuable talk on per-
centage. She favored the 100 per cent.
Miss Dougherty spoke of the importance
of phonic spelling and the use of diacritical
marks. Her remarks were well received.
Then followed announcements and in
s:ructions OF the superintendent, after
which Prof. Abbott made few appropriate

market was in a very advanced condition to
what it was last year, although last seasons
sales were thought to have been immense.
The stock on hand at the Horse and Mule
market is very large now and two adjoining
lots and pens have been added to the mar
ket TO make room for its horses and mules.
Morgan & Martin also have lot of horses
and mules ordered, and the local dealers are

be large business.
