Boxers Best-known Poem.

C'Of all his works." says the
Springfield Republican, in its notice
of the death of George H. Boxer "his
Dirge for a Soldier" written for
General Phillip Kearney, has seized
most firmly upon the popular men,
ory." Here it ISL
Close his eyes; his work is done!
What to him is friend or foreman,
Rise of moon or set of sun,
Hand of man or kiss of woman?
Lay him low, lay him low,
In the clover or the snow.
What cares he? He cannot know;
Lay him low.
AS man may, he fought his fight,
Proved his truth by his endeavor;
Let him sleep in solemn night,
Sleep forever and forever.
Lay him low, lay him low,
In the clover or the snow!
What cares he? He cannot know;
Lay him low.
Fold him in his country's stars;
Roll the drum and fire the volley!
What to him are all our wars
What, but death bemocking folly?
Lay him low, lay him low,
In the clover or the snow!
What cares he? He cannot know;
Lev him low.

A Hard Corner.

The age of 80 is hard corner for wom-
an to turn, and So is still harder She feels
that she is fast leaving her youth behind
her. But there is no reason why woman
should be faded and pdsse at IS, or even at
45. The chief cause of the early fading of
American women is found in the fact that
many of them suffer from some form of fe.
male weakness or disease which robs the
face of its bloc ", draws dark circles about
the eyes, brings early wrinkles and sallow-
ness, and stamps the face and figure with
signs of ill-health. Dr. Pierce's Favorite
Prescription will cure all these troubles.
will bring back the lost bloom, and remove
the pains and ailments which make women
grow old before their time. Guaranteed to
give satisfaction in every case, or price

OLD SETTLERS CLUB.
Annual Picnic and Festival of the
Old Settlers Club of Kenosha Cos

Annual Picnic and Festival of the
Old Settlers Club of Kenosha Coz
The Old Settlers Club will give
their annual picnic and ''harvest
home" festival on Saturday, August
30, at their grounds at Paddock 5
Lake. The Club extend cordial
invitation to all old people to attend
this picnic and join with them in
this festival. And an equally cor
dial invitation is extended to all
young people to be present and en-
iov the festivities. The Ladies Aid
Society of the Salem Methodist
church will set tables on the grounds
and serve a hot dinner.
COME AND ENJOY THE DAY.
The entire grounds are carpeted
with green. There are grand old
oaks whose wide branches sheltered
the Indian, his squaw and his pap
doses; and the descendants of the
pickerel, bass and sun fish, whose
bones they picked under the shade
of these trees, now swim in the wa
tiers of this lovely lake. The adj
joining woods we can imagine PEG
pied with the ghosts of Indians
peering wonderingly from behind
the trees at the multitude of pale
faces enjoying themselves on their
happy hunting grounds.
AFTER DINNER
The annual addresses will be given
by the Revs. E. FL. Lugg, of Salem,
and D. NJ. Ogilvie, of Bristol. Col.
NJ Frank, the veteran editor and
pioneer champion of free schools,
will also deliver an address. The
band will discourse music at inter
walls through the day. Members
please take notice that Immediately
after the addresses the secretary
and treasurer will render their re
ports and the annual election of of
ficers will occur. A full attendance
is desired, as other important bust
ness will be presented.

During the past few months the
free trade journals of The country
have devoted considerable space to
statements, alleged to be authentic,
to the effect that many of the manu-
faCturers Of this country were selling
their products in European countries
at figures much lower than the same
goods were sold for at home. The
Eastern papers especially, have re-
peated these statements at intervals,
as evidence that a protective tariff
is running the country. The Farm
Implement Ne7OS, published at Chi
cago, has taken the trouble to inves-
tigate the subject, and has found the
statements are false in every particu-
lar. From its correspondents abroad
it learned the figures at which Amer
lean agricultural implements are sold
in the countries importing them, and
it then printed the prices in the diff.
ferent countries side by side. Special
attention was paid to agricultural
implements, for the re son that great
stress was laid by the free trade pa
pers on the alleged fact that the for
eign farmer was being favored at the
expense of the American farmer. A
portion of the comparative figures
given by The Farm Implement NeaOS
are given below:
Irvine binders, standard size, re-
tail, United States, about $145; En-
gland, $225; France. $3.50; in Italy
and other countries at still higher
prices.
Mowers, standard size, retail,
United States, about $50; in Eng
land, SO to $50; in France, $50 to
500.
Sulky hay rakes, retail, United
States, $1S to $25, according to size
and quality; same rakes in France,
$40 to $50; nearly as high in Eng
land.
Hay presses, steam power, retail,
United States, $3.50; in England,
$3.50; in France, $500.
Hay presses. horse power, stand
ard reversible style, retail, United
States, Sass; in France, $500; in Ar
gentine Republic, about $500.
No. 40 Oliver pillow. with wheel and
jointer, retail, United States, SI4: in
England, SO to SIS; in other coun-
tries still higher. Other plows and
other makes of plows are sold
abroad at proportionate advances
over home prices.
Grain drills, nine-hoe, retail, Unit
ed States, about 500; in France and
Italy, $40.
The implements mentioned, it will
be noticed, are the ones in common
use in this country. The list might
be greatly enlarged to include i;nple-
ments and machinery less commonly
used, but it is not necessary. These
show conclusively that American
manufactures are not sold as cheaply
abroad as to home buyers.
