Cousin, more years have fitted by
Than we might choose to tell,
Since, sworn moss troopers, you and
Have lived beneath each summer sky
So heartily and well.
And little cared we all the while
How fast those years were flying,
And little marked how youths bright smile.
That did their flight so well beguile,
From off the world was dying.
Worthy OF thine old fashioned race,
Well hast thou borne thy part,
And, spite the gathering years, we trace
Few wrinkles on thy manly face,
And none upon thy heart.
In sooth, old Time has hardly cast
A shadow on thy track
Though, all LIES summer day flies past,
The harvest moon is rising fast
Above us, Cousin Jack.
The woodcock in the tangled brake
Marks well thy whistles note;
The deer that by the wood.trnged lake
moment halts his thirst to sake,
For thee looks sharply out;
The wild duck rs he scuds along,
Seeth thine eye OF black,
And cries with shrill, despairing tone,
"Don't shoot Old boy, Pm coming down
IhHoW you, Cousin JdckP
Thou shoud'st have lived in that old day,
Long fameo in song ana story,
OF baron bold, anl lady gay,
OF tournament, and feast, and fray,
Love, chivalrv, and glory,
When faces were OF hearts the token,
And hearts were true, like thine,
When manly thoughts were boldly spoken,
And healtns were drunk, and heads We're
broken,
O'cr sparkling Rhenish wine.
Those blum and hearty times are gone
From Off the changetul earth,
Their monuments have crumDltd down,
And the sham virtues, then unknown,
Are now of passing worth.
But I'm the few and rare like thee,
Left to this modern day,
We sometimes yet are fain to see
That frank, old fashioned chiVdlry
Has not all passed away.
When DER the woods another Fan
Its lingering charm has thrown,
My gun Will hang upon the WALL
My horses learn anOtht RS call,
My dog, Il strangers tone.
But still may thou, aye kindly known
ON Champlaln's glorious water,
I'LL many II year has come and gone,
wake the wild woodland echoes on
Dead creek and Little Otter.

M'kiNLEY AND HOBART.
A Very Weak Pair to Head Party



Ticket.
The ST. Louis nominations are no sur
prise. Everyone knew for several days
that Mark Hanna would nominate Nc,
Kinley for president. To insure sue
cess he packed the convention with up
wards of $50 contestants and the nom
ination was bestowed upon Mckinley
amid a scene of uproarious confusion
and indicated a woeful lack of serious
appreciation of the work in hand. The
demonstration was one of recklessness
Such a convention was never seen be
fore. Such thorough mastery of dele
gates was never known before in ma
tiOnal convention. Such a rude and of,
fensive manifestation of mastery, by
a man who makes not the slightest pre-
tense to understand the eternal fitness
of things in statecraft, has never been
known in this country. And when the
nomination of Mckinley was finally ac-
complished, the restrained and restless
spirits of the convention broke out in
shouts that betokened the expectation
of an approaching deluge.
Mckinley is stronger to-day than he
will ever be again during this cam

of each shoe was a piece of moving
machine cutter-bar, about five-eighths
of an inch thick and three or four

They were attached at the upper end
by bolt, one being on each side, and
about two feet apart, and slanting
brace made of wagon tire was bolted
to the shank about third of the way
from the bottom and to the beam some
IS inches ahead. The shoe was piece

and in finished condition about seven
inches long, the back three inches be-
ing full size and the front drawn down
to tapering chisel-edge with a slight
inclination down just sufficient to make
it draw into the soil and rest upon the
wheels. A clevis and handles attached
like cultivator handles completed the
outfit.
At the time I saw the pillow work there
had been a prolonged drought, and it
was being used in an undrained, heavy

paign. His nomination was secured by
the suppression of the sober judgment
of the majority of the republican party,
1t was a victory for the tariff eXtrem!
lists Even in the case of Mckinley s
election the victory will be barren, for
the tariff reform that has been accom-
plished is bound to remain.
The nomination violates the wisdom
of the party. Tt offends its best senti-
ments, and it does not add to McKin-
ley's strength that some of the power
full bosses in the party were Inundated.
Mark Hanna has downed Plat and
Quay and Clarkson, and Lodge and
Reed, and Filley and Addicks, and the
consciousness of their inferiority Will
will not add to their zeal in the cam
paign. Mckinley for more than one
reason will dwindle from now until No
vember.
Garrett A. Hobart, the candidate for
vice president, needs introduction to
the public outside of Paterson, n. J.,
where he resides. He is wealthy, and
is director in mercantile and business
concerns. He has not been very conspic-
uous IN New Jersey, even for republic
an. How Hanna came to choose him as
a running mate for Mckinley has not
been explained, but the fact is that he
was Hanna's choice, and there was no
work left for the convention except to
shout, adjourn and to go home. If Ho-
bart is big man he has successfully
concealed it. His respectability for
the place is not questioned, any more
than is McKinley's for the presidency

tive lack of qualifications for tho r.reSi

lie to the end of the route. His dOmina-
ion of the national committee was seen
N the decision of nearly every contest
II favor of the Mckinley delegates.
When the new national committeeman
we're chosen Hanna was again in evil
icnce, those members suspected of hos
;iiity to Mckinley being dropped in al
most every instance. And when nom

Ia kept the convention in session for
line long sweltering, eXhausting and
unhappy hours, to the very last show
ng the unrelenting vigor of his rule
oy whipping the southern delegates
ntc line for Hobart when they wanted
Evans for vice president. Hanna was
even master of the emotions of the con-
scntion. There was no enthusiasm,
there were no plaudits until Hanna gave
the word, and then a carefully regu-
.afed Bedlam broke loose for William
Mckinley, the candidate - Hanna's
candidate.
With the convention dispersed and its
labors performed to Hanna's satisfac-
ton. he made a little speech to his
fellow republicans in the course of
which he said: ''The only work have
done and the only claim I make upon
the good will of my fellow citizens lies
in the fact that gave the plain Ameri-
can people a chance to voice their sentl-
ments in regard to their favorite presl-
Dental candidate"
The unsuspecting believed that
Hanna's work must be done when he
brought about the nomination OF his
friend, William Mckinley. Neverthe-
less Hanna, who was not member OF
the national committee, became its
chairman before the sun set the next
day, and in compliance with his wishes
an executive committee OF nine to hold
up his hands in the campaign will be
appointed. This committee is to in
clude solid men who, like Hanna, are
not members of the national commit
tee Hanna is also to have the power to
name the secretary and the treasurer
of the national COMMITTEES. If there is
anything else that Mark Hanna wants
but doesn't see, he has only to ask for
it and it will be produced. Never was a
man so completely the autocrat of his
party as Hanna, the iron broker And

HANNA THE GREAT.
Che Peerless and Unriyaled Owner of the
Republican Party.

Hanna Is an interesting psychological
tudy. As he has consented @ to ac-
;ept the Craftsmanship of the republican
rational committee and take charge of
The Mckinley canvass for the presi-
iency, the country will know Mark
Hanna thoroughly by November next
Ne predict that the knowledge will be
EASILY acquired by the observing. In
'ther words, there is nothing Of the
iphynX about Hanna. He is the hard
ieaded, close-fsted man of business in
politics, who believes that the end iusti-
les the means. Hanna has some regard
or the Proprieties-wheno other persons
~ho count for something are concerned
tbout them. For instance when in
1uiries were put to Hanna at ST. Louis
about the probable action of the con-
fention on any subject or as to any
.ssue, he held up his hands deprecating-
" and said it was not for him, single
individual, to anticipate the wisdom of
The convention. He would not venture
to forecast its work, for his place was
n the ranks as one of Ohio's dele
gates. Guileless souls were impressed.
Perhaps an injustice had been done
Hanna. Perhaps, after all, he was not
GfadSrlnd, but man or nice Scnt1-
ment. Perhaps he was an unselfish
patriot and not forehanded boss.
Hanna, however. was not in ST. Louis
for his health. His hand was always
upon the lever, and he reversed it only
when Thomas c. Platt and Henry Cabot
Lodge appeared upon the track waving
danger signals. The stop annoyed Han
na exceedingly, but when he started
the locomotive again he made up for
lost time and ran strictly by the sched

a WORD ABOUT TURKEYS.
Why Western Farmers Should Raise Nor.
of Them.

Why Western Farmers Should Raise More
of Them.
There are not nearly as many turkeys
grown as there should be. There is
never year that turkeys are not more
profitable than hogs, for they always
bring good price in the markets, and
the supply is rarely equal to the de-
,mand.
The bronze turkey is the favorite with
most breeders, as it grows to a largo
size, and is about the hardest of all the
varieties. The only rival it has that
amounts to much in the west is the
white variety, which is growing in favor
because of its beautiful appearances
when dressed, and the fine quality of
the meat. 1t does not grow as large az
the bronze turkey, at the same age, but
is preferred by many consumers, and
they are often willing to pay something
extra to get one.
Young turkeys (poults is the proper
name) are somewhat tender at first, and
must be carefully looked after for the
first few weeks of their lives, and kept
from being exposed to rains or early
morning dews.
They should be fed for the first few

which is their favorite food.-Farm and
