THE OLD SCHOOL EXHIBITIONS

o, the old school exhibitionsl will they ever
come again,
With the good, old.fashioned speaking from the
girls and boys so plain?
Will we ever hear old "Iser" with its rapid roll
and sweep
And "Pilot, tits fearful night; there's danger
on the deepf"
Sweet Mary doesn't raise her lambs like Mary
did Of old;
Their fleece is not las white as snow" they're
wandering from the fold
The boy upon 1.-The burning deck" is not one
half as fine
He was not born at Bingen, at Bingen on the
Rhinei"
The girls don't speak in calico, the boys in cot
ton jeans:
They've changed the old-time dresses long with
the old-time scenes
They smile and speak in ancient Greek; in
broadcloth and in lace;
And you can't half see the speaker for the coll
lar round the facel
o, the old school exhibition 1t is gone forever
morel
The old schoolhouse is deserted, and the grass
has choked the door;
And the wind sweeps round the gables, with a
low and mournful whine
For the old boys 'born at Bingen-at Bingen
on the Rhinel"

QUIET WAYS ARE BEST.
What's the use of worrying.

What's the use OF worrying,
OF hurrying
And scrrying,
Everybody hurryinR,
And breaking UP their restf
When everyone Is teaching US,
Preaching and besecching US,
To settle down and end the fuss
For quiet ways are best
The rain that trickles down in showers
A blessing brings to thirsty flowers;
Sweet fragrance from each brimming cup
The gentle zephyrs gather up
There's ruin in the tempcst's path;
There's ruin in the voice Of wrath;
And they alone are blest
Who early learn TO dominate
themselves, their violence abate,
And prove by their serene estate
That quiet ways are best
Nothing's gained by worrying.
BY hurrying
And scurrying,
With fretting and with flurrying
The temper's often lost
And in pursuit of some small prize
We rush ahead and are not wise,
And find the unwonted exercise
A fearful price has cost
Tis better far to Join the throng
That do their duty right along.
Reluctant they TO raise fuss
Or make themselves ridiculous
Calm and serene in heart and nerve,
Their strength is always in reserve,
And n<bly stands each testi
And every day and all about,
BY scenes within and scenes without
We can discern with ne'er a doubt
That quiet ways are best

Dehornfng.

Prof. Roberts, ,sof Cornell Univer'
'sity, director of the agricultural de.
partment. said that he had practiced
dehorning as a humane measure.
Farm animals were of necessity SO
crowded together that the vicious
ones were constantly injuring the
others. 1t had been his experience
that dehorned cows gained in milk,
while COWS not dehorned, lost. This
showed that there was no severe
suffering, because in cases of suffer
ing the milk always falls of. He
had never known an animal to die
from being dehorned. Every man
in the United States interested in
agriculture, who had tried dehorning
approved of the practice and advo-
Gated it on grounds of positive
humanity.
Prof. Law, ALEC Of Cornell, said
that if part of a dairy was dehorn-
ed, all of it must be. The cattle
left with horns always attacked the
others. By the use of a local an
aesthetic like carl,olic acid, the re-
moval of horns could be accomplish
ed with almost no pain. He de-
scribed the structure of the horn ,and
the process of removal, stating his
opinion that dehorning cattle was
a positive benefit.

CRISP AT ATLANTA.

ATLANTA, Ga, April 5.-Speaker
Crisp has reached this city on his
way to Americus. He was at once
besieged by ofice-hunters for his
signature to applications.
81 am glad," said speaker Crisp,
"that there will be an extra session
of Congress in September. I have
always been in favor of an extra
session, and wanted to see it come
right after the Inauguration. You
see we can get satisfactory tariff
law passed by the end of this year.
If we meet in September and send
it to the Senate after Christmas by
this time next year We can have ii
safely landed beyond Congress.
This would give US plenty of time to
get the law in full operation before
the next election. 1t will take some
time to get the benefit of the law
realized by the people, and when
that is done the advantage OF such q
reform will be living reality and
the people will fully. enjoy it. II

means $50 year additional tax on

are about $500 dramshops in the

Governor w. J. Stone and Richard
Dalton are all in Washington, d. C..
According to the dispatches from
the capital of the United States
Francis and Stone are there in the
interest of friends who want offices.
Governor Francis appears to be
cumming with Senator Vest and
Governor Stone with Senator Cock
rell. The st. Louis Republic, re-
ferring to the appointment of Rich
ard Dalton Surveyor of the Port Of
st. Louis, says:
''Col. Dick Dalton came in late in
the afternoon and proceeded imme-
diately to the Treasury Department.
He heard that there were some
charges filed against him and came
to meet them. The charges were the
old, played-out calumnies that be
explained a hundred times on the
stump and though the press in Mis-
souri, when he was candidate for
the Democratic nomination for Gov
ernor. They are not serious and
| will not amount to anything. 1t is
believed that Secretary Carlisle has
recommended Dalton appointment
and that the matter is now in the
hands of the President. Colonel
Dalton says that, while not an
actual resident of St. Louis, be
has no fears that if the Dem
ocrats of St. Louis had a chance
to vote upon the matter that he
could beat Judge Speck for the Sur
veyorship of the Port more than VIC

THE CONDITION OF WHEAT.
Fair Prospects For . Crop In All
States Except lllinois.

CHICAGO, April 5.-The Farmers
Review says: detailed report
covering eleven states shows that
there has been little improvement
in the condition of winter wheat
since the last report. The present
condition in Illinois is not even
fair. In some counties the late sown
wheat is found to be killed and will
have to be plowed up. On clay
lands especially the damage in some
counties has been great. In other
counties the late sown wheat sprout-
ed after the advent of winter and
such fields were killed by the later
severe weather. In Indiana the
general condition is fair. The wheat
that got a good start last fall is do
ing well. Some Of the fields that
were believed 10 be damaged are re-
viving, but slowly on account of the
colds nights. Much of the whea.
on the low lands has been damaged
by excessive wet. In Ohio condi-
tions are much better than in either
of the two states mentioned. The
early wheat Is looking well, but late
is not promising. In Michigan the
condition varies greatly, some re-
porting very good and some very
poor prospects. The general condi-
ton is fair. Where damage was
done by the fly last fall the results
are very noticeable. In Missouri
most of the correspondents report
fair. A few report poor
and few good. Some wheat has
been frozen out and the field look
dead, while other fields look well.
Lack of snow has been a great fac
tor in the deterioration of the crop.
There seems to be general inn
provement going on. Conditions in
Kansas are a little better than in
The crop needs rain
badly. In Nebraska the general
condition is good, but in most coun-
ties there has been as yet little
growth. A few counties report the
conditions as bad. In Iowa and Wis
eonsin the condition is reported as
fair to good.
The outlook for fruit is gener-
ally good. The buds are we'll de-

THE Kansas City Star, referring to
the good roads question, says !:
When Missouri gets ready to look
over the "good roads" by the Ian

that in Ohio and Indiana thousands
of miles of mud roads have been
converted into macadamized or grav-
eled highways by means of county
bonds.
