THE FLIGHT OF JOY.

As sometimes in the very heart of June
Which still remembers all the buds of May
And half foresees the autumn rich display
And al the spleDdor Of the harvest moon,
As if November had returned too soon,
Cold winds blow, and the sky is chill and gray,
And ell is dreary that but now seemed gay,
And Nature with herself seems out of tune
So in the early summer of my life,
Instead of happy strength and strenuous play
Eds cares have come, long weared of the STRIFE
That youth delights in, and my summer day
Is darkened as by Deaths impending knife,
And would die, for joy is far away.

GREAT is TODAY.

Out on world that's gone to weed
The great tall corn is still strong in his seed:
Plant her breast with laughter, put song in your

The heart is still young in the mother soil;
There's sunshine and bird song and red and white

And love lives yet, world under and over

Clearer dew did not gsten round Adam and Eve,

shot and killed William FL. Bum.
garner and fatally wounded his
father, Logan Bumgarner. The
difficulty grew out of misunder-
standing about a small tract of
land, and is the termination of an
old fued. The Bumgarners had
been at work on the disputed land
during the morning. While they
were at dinner Dills went to the
spot armed with a double barreled
gun and awaited their return. AS
they approached Dills said "Don't
come any further or I'll shoot. -
They, however, continued to sp.
proach. Dills discharged one bar
rel of the gun without doing any
damage, and attempted to fire
again, but the cap snapped, and as
the elder Bumgarner continued to
approach Dills drew a pistol and
fired several shots, all of which
took effect on the old man, who
fell. The young man, who had
single-barreled gun, then fired at
Dills and turned to run. Dills
fired upon him, striking him IN the
back, and he ran a short distance
and tell dead. Dills made his es-
cape, and is still at large. The lat
est report says the old man Bum
garner had seven bullets in him,
and is expected to die at any mo.
ment.

THE LATEST FISH STORY.

Mr.. Thomas had a large farm on
the Missouri bottoms near Sioux
City. 1t was all fenced with barb.
ed wire, there being two miles of
such fencing on the place. He
happened IN Sioux City just about
the time that the gorge up the river
had damned the water to such a
prOdiglous height. FOreseeing that
when the gorge broke it would be
likely to raise the water to such an
extent as to fool his farm, he rode
hastily home and made prepare.
tons accordingly. His stock and
all that was movable was trans.
ferred to higher ground. Then he
and his hired man proceeded to i'm.
pale small chunks OF meat on every
barb of that wire fence. 1t was a
big job, but it was finished just as
the river began to cover the lower
pasture lot. For twenty.six hours
the water stood FIVE feet above the
top of the highest fence post, and
when it receded the most remarka-
BILE sight was revealed. From
every barb, except three, of the two
mileso of fencing, hung a fish. There
were pickerel, bass, suckers and
every other kind of imaginable va
riety. A simple calculation will
show precisely the size OF the haul.
1t was a five wire fence, each wire
having thlrty-siE barbs to the rod,
making, as any school boy can tell
you, total of 1920 barbs to the
two miles of fencing. There were
thee barbs that had caught moth
ing, so that there we're only 1l5, 1877
fish. Perhaps the most remarka-
BILE part of the story is to come
From that day to this, in all parts
OF the Missouri river, there have
been caught just three fish, the ex-
act number tnat didn't get caught

FARM AND HOUSEHOLD.
Hints on Stable Manaaement.

Pure air is as essential to the
blood as sound food is to the sus-
tenance of the body. Consumed
air is vitiated air, the volume OF
oxygen is reduced, carbonic acid is
in excess. The stable is full of
organic impurities given of by the
skin and the lungs. Ventilation
is found in all we'll regulated
stables, and draughts are unknown,
OF ought to be.
Good grooming is demanded I'M
der stable management and IN fast
work. The brush, as a rule, should
follow the direction of the hair,
except when dirt and sweat are
caked onto the coat then you re-
Quire to 60 against the lie OF the
coat-the set of the coat. Good
grooming shortens the coat, gives
a gloss and develops physical force.
Horses fed largely on other foods
demand less hay, but hay Is useful
in distending the stomach, and
thus assisting digestion. From six
to fourteen pounds daily; the
average use is ten pounds in many
stables. To maintain hunting or
racing condition, old hay is es-
sential.
Glover, vetches and trifolium are
laxative and cooling, and excellent
for the Invalid horse or the young
ster. They should be given spar
ingly, at the early part OF the sea-
son. Green forage should never be
given to horses in fast work, ex-
cept on Saturday nights.
The horse may be trusted to
gusgs his thirst, except on occa-
sions of extreme exertlon. That
horses are the better for being
watered before being fed is an adj
mittsd fact with all veterinary
surgeons. Collie and gripes are
thus avoided. The explanation
given is this: When the stomach
Is full, water, passing rapidly
through the stomach, on the way
is very apt to carry with it into
the small inteshnes undigested
corn, and this produces local irrita-
ton. There is less danger in
watering a horse actively warm
than when the system is somewhat
lowered. Soft water is better for
sll stock, and on no account let
horses drink dirty water; it is
most Objectionable.
