a PLANT FOR BAeY'S GRAVE

1t will blossom through the summer,
'Bove her quiet little heart;
Yes, its lovely bloom and fragrance
Soon will seem Of her part.
There the warm bright sun will kiss It
And the breeze its leaflets wave;
We will place it there in mem'ry-
Just plant for baby's grave.
Eight long years she has been sleeping
Meath the dewy, velvet sod,
And her happy, sinless spirit
Is. know, in Heaven with God.
Back again we would not wish her,
With life's trials but begun;
They who leave us in the morning
Never see the set Of sun.
Just year she fondly fingered,
One brief year OF hope and love-
Laughing little blue-eyed Laura
Whom the angels bore above.
On our hearts her face is pictured
can see her every day.
With her sunny smiles and gold locks
Locks that never will grow gray!
She will ever be our baby
All our boys will soon be men,
Fighting hard in life's great battle
FOR some Flct ~, one galnSt ten.
But our baby. She'll be waiting,
Always young. and sweet, and fair;
Ne'er to know old age, or wrinkles,
Sorrow, pain, or black despair.
Sometimes still feel her nesting,
As Of old. upon my breast;
But 1 like to think her lying
In her tiny grave-at rest!
Often have bent above 1t,
Low and lower without sigh,
For again I hope to clasp her
My own baby, by and by.
Soon this flower will softly whisper
All a mothers love could say;
1t will tell her how we missed her,
After she had gone away.
just green transplanted token,
For each summer rain to lave;
Just little home remembrance,
just plant for baby's grave.

A teacher in . suburban school, not
long ago, gave her pupils twelve min.
utes in which to write an abstract. !"
A shoe was the subject selected by her,
and the boys were to write in the first
person. No limit as to the number Of
lines or words was given them.
Most Of the boys wrote-and erased,
during tho whole time allotted, but the
teacher noticed one fellow who sat idle
until the time was within two minutes
Of expiring. As the scholars fled out
she said to him, Brown, did you finish
your ABSTRACT"
Eyes, ma'am," he answered
Curious to see what he could have
written in so short time, she looked
over the papers, and found this:
II am WORKOUT shoe; my coffin is
the ash-barrel; my grave, the dump"
She says that almost as firmly i'm
pressed on her memory as this remark

amazement on the boys face the next
morning when he saw the 1907 mark
on his paper.-Youth's Companion,

AGRICULTURAL HINTS.
PRODUCING PORK,

Quick Money in livestock Growing Is
Usually Found i'm Hogs.
Spring pigs during the first three or
four months of their existence may be
grown and developed in frame by con-
slant pasturage, and feeding twice
daily on Stops made of bran and shorts,
mixed with a small amount of rye,
corn or barley and oats. In place of
rye and barley, peas may be substi-
tuted. Constant access to wood ashes
and salt is desirable. The best plan is
to provide V-shaped hopper about S
feet deep, by 6 feet on top and by 1
foot at bottom, opening into a trough
or shallow box at the bottom, the lat.
ter about by feet, and with edges of
trough inches higher than bottom of
hopper, thus guarding the mixture of
ashes and salt from waste. When the
pigs reach $50 days age, and new corn
can be had, it may be the principal
food, with only an occasional meal of
the other grain for variety. But pas
ture should be continued for sixty days
longer. If the hogs by this time do not
weigh on an average at least 200 pounds,
they may be pastured and fed month
or more longer to reach that weight.
They should, Us a rule, be sold at Z
months or months of age, especially
if corn is worth more than 40 cents per
bushel. With cheap corn, moderate
weather and a ''glutted MARKET" one
may feed such hogs through December
and January, possibly through Febru-
airy, for better market. But it seldom
pays to feed fat hogs after months of
age and the attainment of over $50
pounds, especially in winter. Of course
after the ground is frozen, and in the
absence of blue grass for grazing, en-
silage once day is good ration; or in
the absence of the ensilage, clover hay
(which has been put up green from the
swath) may be given as a variety meal.
1t is best usually to steam it, though
the hogs eat it well dry. But remem-
Der the ashes all along, as well as the
salt. 1t is needed in building strong
bone to maintain the heavy pork car
cass. Following this policy one should
have thoroughbred pigs mot necessa-
rily from show hog, but from choice
parentage). The parents need not be
registered and mum bered, but should be
eligible. For each pig to be grown into
pork, from one-eighth to one-third acre
of pasturage is required, usually about
one-fourth acre; 800 pounds bran and
shorts, goo pounds oats, 200 pounds rye,
barley or pea meal, and to 10 bushels
of shelled corn. With all conditions
favorable, the above provisions ought
to grow at least 200 to 22o pounds Of
pork in addition to weight of pig at one
months age. In many cases the excel
lence of the pasture will render all the
above unnecessary; in other cases, de-
fcient grazing may require more than
the above to bring the hog to a profit

THE LEGEND OF NEW RIVER.
How Water Came in the Desert After .
Child's Prayer.

How Water Came in the Desert After .
Child's Prayer.
In the early tifties party of emil
grants on their way to the gold fields
of California by the southern route, via
the ella river, crossed the Colorado by
the ferry left by Graham in 1s4s land
struck out on the desert for the land Of
promise. The trail was we'll defined by
abandoned wagons and the bones OF
horses, mules and human beings.
Struggling through the yielding sand,
the thermometer at 100 Degrees"
wheels falling apart, animals dying
from heat and thirst, they on the sec
ond night out halted some ten miles
from Cookies WE'LL" with the water
in their kegs exhausted. Tradition
states that little ten-year old girl was
heard praying, in one of the wagons,
for water. 1t states that in her child
like faith she said: 20 good Heavenly
Father, know that have been a very
naughty, naughty girl, but, oh! dear, I
am so very thirsty, and mamma, papa
and the baby all want to drink so much.
DO, good God, give us water, and I will
never, never be naughty again.
The gaunt, half-starved. desperate
men gathered around the wagon, dis
cussing how and what movement to
make to save their lives and their dear
ones, with no thought of gold now, and
listened to the humble petition. One
voiced the rest and said: MAY God
grant it!' Soon the voice of the little
child, in cheerful accent, sounded clear
in the silent night: 20 mother, mother,
get me water; oh, l can hear 1t rum
ming; oh, do get some for baby and
me-" They thought her delirious from
her sufferings, when suddenly babel
of sounds broke forth from the oxen
to break loose from the wagon poles.
A rustling noise called their attention
to slight depression near the wagons,
and on investigating the cause they
found water gushing up out of the sand,
sweet, clear, but warm. Their suffer.
ings were over, and they reached the
mines better and wiser for this inter.
position, as they firmly believed, of Di.
vine Providence.
This spring continued to flow running
due north for twenty miles, then was
lost in the sand. In places it was over
two miles wide and from four to twen-
ty feet deep. When immigration in
1851 moved by the isthmus and the
northern route, the miraculous water
disappeared, as its mission was accom-
plished and it's divine work done. But
the memory of the New river" that
was caused by a sand bar below Yuma,
will long be remembered by survivors
of the thousands benefited by it IN 1850

PERSONAL AND LITERARY.

An English writer is preparing a
critical volume dealing with half q
dozen of the great authors Of the CEN
fury. Acting on the assumption that
success is the consequence Of mar
rage between talent and environment,
he works out the idea by examining in
each case what were the early associa-
lions, accomplishments and tastes Of his
subject.
-Ex-Queen Isabella of Spain went
to a ball in Paris one evening recently.
The ball was at the house of the Prin-
cess de Leon. There were two thousand
guests there, all in costume, and the
queen, who acted as the guest of honor,
was seated upon throne placed in the
center of the room. The costumes rep
resented historical scenes, characters in
fiction, and were, taken altogether,
highly sensational.
An English paper offers an answer
to a question often spoken: The Au-
thers' society is asking why the pub
fishers don't cut the edges of their three
volume novels. The answer is simple.
Nine-tenths of the public buy book by
its appearance, and 'Paternoster row.
loves "a fat book" Now, if the edges
were cut, thicker and more expensive
paper is needed to produce the same
bulk than if the edges were left uncut.

Mary Anderson Nevarro is tying
herself to England for pretty long
stay. Mr.. and Mrs. Nevarro have set
tied down very comfortably in Tun-
bridge Wells, beautiful place, famous
for Chalybcate springs, about thirty
miles from London. At present both
husband and wife are busy furnishing
a new home, which they have leased for
seven years, and are ransacking the
country to fill it with quaint things.
Mrs. Navarro is in prime health, but
avoids London society to a great ex-
tent.
The embalmed remains of all the
dead Braganzas, the rulers of Portugal,
lie in a mausoleum in Lisbon, where
they are preserved in trunk-like chests
ranged around the walls. A recent
American visitor was permitted to look
upon the face of the late empress of
Brazil, whose features are so well pre-
served and whose face is so serene that
she appears simply to have fallen
asleep. The bodies of every member
of the dynasty from John w., who
died in 1856, are slowed away in these
chests.
Russell Sage is as regular in his
habits as an eight-day clock. He gets
up at six, strolls around to his stables
and back, eats hearty breakfast and
then walks to the elevated station and
shows his free pass. Since his friend,
Jay Gould, got him on the directorate
of the Western Union he eats a hearty
lunch at the expense of the company;
before that he had an Office boys lunch

habit originates in the practice of un.

the habit of the horse in eating the
