BE MY SWEETHEART.

Sweetheart be my sweetheart
When birds are on the wing,
When bee and bud and babbling food
Bespeak the birth of spring;
Come, sweetheart, be my sweetheart
And wear this posy-ringl
Sweetheart, be my sweetheart
In the mellow golden glow
OF earth ailush with the gracious blush
Which the ripening fields toreshow;
Dear sweetheart be my sweetheart,
AS into the moon we gol
Sweetheart, he my sweetheart
When falls the bounteous year,
When fruit and wine of tree and vine
Give us their harvest cheer;
Oh, sweetheart, be my sweetheart
For winter it draweth near.
Sweetheart, be my sweetheart

When the fire of youth is spent, forsooth
And the hand of age is cold;
Yet, sweetheart, be my sweetheart
Till the year of our love be told!

Consumption Among the Cows.

Leonard Pearson, B. S., V. M, D.,
Professor of Veterinary Surgery in
the University of Pennsylvania,
speaking on the prevalence of
tuberculosis among dairy herds,
said:
eve are informed through the
newspapers that a case of tubercu-
losis has been discovered in one
herd or another, but the truth is
that it exists to a very large extent
all the year round in all the coun-
ties from which we receive our milk,
and the only way that it can be
remedied is by requiring every
dairy farmer to furnish a certificate,
signed by some competent, trust
worthy veterinary physician, stat
ing that his herd is without disease.
Such law will undoubtedly be
passed by the next legislature, as
there is a strong movement on foot
in advocacy of it,
DIR. Pearson then pointed out the
extreme importance of such law.
A large number of the deaths from
consumption, he said, were I'M
doubtedly due to the prevalence of
the diseased milk. By sterilizing
the milk the disease could be avert
ed, but this was not advocated by
doctors, as the process makes the
milk much less digestible.
DIR. Pearson also pointed out the
unreliability of many of the certif=
icates, from the fact that after a
friend of his had, ON examining a
certain herd, discovered tubercu-
losis existing and had refused to
give a certificate, the farmer had
Immediately gotten certificate
from one of the numerous county
veterinarians, stating that the en-
tire herd was healthy. DIR, Pear
son said there was not the slightest
difficulty in getting certificate, for
if one doctor refused to give it,
another could always be found who,
for slight compensation, would
grant a bill of health.
Tuberculosis is no more preva-
lent this year than it has always
BEEN" DR.. Pearson said in con-
clusiop. "The death rate from
consumption is one in every seven,
and this is due in great measure
to the prevalence of impure milk"
This is not complimentary of the
average doctor.

An article published on fourth
page throws a side light on the
terrible miners strike which will
cause every fair minded reader to
pause and inquire if this govern
ment can endure and permit plum
dering monopolies to organize a
system of slavery very great deal
worse than African slavery in the
southern states ever was. If these
corporations are not brought under
control and obedience to law they
will force by their expressions and
injustice, an insurrectiOn which
militia will not be able to put down.
For the peace and safety of society
will sooner or later, compel the gov
by the exercise of its
power of eminent domain to take
charge of the coal lands of the
country and manage them in the
interest of the public. 1t is an out
rage to common sense and justice
that lot of conspirators against
the public veal should be permitted
to impose upon and fleece the whole
people. The sooner these coal fields
are taxed out of the possession and
control of monopolies the better it
will be for the peace of the country
and the public welfare. This
country is being so corporation rid
den that is cannot much longer en-
dure it.
