"A LOST TYPE.

On, for a glimpse of a natural boy
a boy with freckled face,
With forehead white meath tangled
hair
And limbs devoid of grace;
Whose feet toe in, while his elbows
flare;
Whose knees are patched all ways;
Who turns as red as a lobster when
You give him word of praise;
A boy who born with an appetite;
Who seeks the pantry shelf
TO eat his ''piece' with resounding
smack
Who isn't gone on himself;
A "Robinson Crusoe" reading boy
Whose pockets bulge with trash;
Who knows the use of rod and gun
And where the brook trout splash.
It's true he'll sit in the easiest chair,
With his hat on his tousled head;
That his hands and feet are every
where
For youth must have room to spread.
Cue he doesn't dub his father "old
man," w..
Nor deny his mothers call,
Nor ridicule what his elders say,
Or think that he knows it all.
A rough and wholesome natural boy
or a good, old-fashioned clay;
God bless him, if he's still on earth,
For he'll make man some day.

Farmer Asks for an Agricultural
Report-He Was Indifferent About
the Date.
The official in charge of the CORE
sponIence of the agricultural depart
ment in Washington a few years ago
was Il gentleman of education and
polish. But, above all, he was a con-
scientious and consumate letter writer
All the courteous expressions Of gov,
ernmental epistles were at his fingers
ends, and it was a pleasure to him to
impart to them gracefulneSS that
governmental letters sometimes lack.
He received a scrawly letter one
day. It was from Hosea Jones of
Goose Run, Wis. It was addressed
as follows: "Agrycultral Deptment,
Wash'ntn, D. Co." and it said: ''Sir.
want.a agreecultral repo't, an bein'~
in the farmin' bisness I orter git it.''
Now there are many agricultural re-
ports, of many dates and Of many top
icS and a request for one or more of
these valuable and absorbing volumes
should Of necessity be more specific
than Mr.. Jones' request was. The Off
cial, having plenty Of time and seeing
a chance for harmless pleasantly, in,
dicted an elaborate letter to the farm.
eT, luIoilulHS ulu OIL the eaSefneSS
with which the government desired to
give the husbandmen Of the nation all
the information it had obtained as the
result of scientific and practical re-
search. This and more he wrote of
the agricultural departments solicit
tude for the farmer, and then indi-
eating the desira bility Of specific
statement as to the date or the sub
ject of the report desired, he closed
with the assurance of the secretary's
esteem.
Mr.. Jones responded promptly and
somewhat laconically: 81 don't care
he wrote, s'what the book is about. or,
when it was rote. I want it fur a
skrap book."--New York World

The base ball fans" in this city who
were watching the game from distance
couldn't understand how a manager with
any base ball judgment could keep Stocks
dale in the box. 1t is reported that Man

put him on the bench Indefinitely for losing
the game This is designed to increase
Mr. Stocksdales loyalty to the club. 1t has
been tried before and has been known to
fail.
The score shows that StocksdaIe was
