With gladstone, nirthful glee
To see /.
You on the wing.
My mind
Hath pined 80
For your return ~.
Ayearn sa
Full 18 karats strong
Proportionslly long.
Not that love the lassitude,
With which my spirit is imbued
When you come on the scene,
With grasses green;
Not that 7 love your most unpleasant way
OF sprinkling hot and cold throughout the
day;
Your beastly plan.
OF aggravating man
By sending billiards. when he's dressed for
heat. ,-s..-- -
And making things red-hot when he fears
sleet;
Not that love one Of your fads untold;
But rejoice because you bring me gold.
For Tn druggist keen, and Ger the
counter take . a
A dollar for pill It costs cent to make,
Which tired-teeling people buy when you
appear, b
Which neither harms nor cures, but much
allays their fear.
And so, o spring,
I sing
With gladstone glee
To see -
You on the wing.

IT Is learned from prominent farmers OF
North Dakota that the acreage Of fax an
other small grains other than wheat will be
more than double that of last year. The
low price OF wheat has discouraged the farm
ers in that line, and they have found it
necessary to raise something else. AS
consequence the wheat acreage will be
comparatively small and the acreage Of
other grains correspondingly large. This
will also be the case In Minnesota.
