Just when Sequachee underwent
This mighty change of sentiment.
You held my life sacred thing
Last year, and |, an uncrowned king
In sportive mood with eager zest
Butted your offspring galley west,
Roamed through your lawns and
gardens free
And in your graveyard pranced with
glee;
But now alas, my reign is Ger,
Those joyous days will come no
more,
yield to Fate's unkind decree
And say farewell, but woe is me
For well | know that it is vain
To hope for such snap again.

For several months my dulcet bleats

Upon your flower beds will ! dine
And eat your clothes from off the

And dodge the clubs you hurl in vain
And smile at your remarks profane.
IT'S nice that Jasper people can
Pursue this economic plan
Of forcing you to furnish me
With pasturage and shelter free;
They get the profts--that is well,

For you've not sand enough to kick
Or stop my lawless raiding--bah!

KaRr Corn.


bout Kaffir corn. 1t is from the
pen of writer in the Practical Far
mer. Among the newer forage
plants which have been introduced
into the United States, Kafir corn
appears to be the most promising.
It has been grown here for several
years, principally in the central por-
ton of the country, and has rapidly
gaining in popularity. The extrem.
ly unfavorable climatic conditions of
last season put alt the forage plants
to one of the severest tests they have
ever received. They showed beyond
question that Kaffir corn has qualities
which make it a most desirable plant
for many localities, as it is success.
fully grown under circumstances in
which most other forage crops failed.
Kaffir corn is one of the non-saC-
charine varities OF sorghum. 1t can
be grown IN great variey of soils
and under widely differing conditions
OF climate, but it is especially valua-
where the growth of vegetation is La
BILE to be checked by deficiency of
moisture. Naturally its yield of
stalk and seeds is not as large on
thin soils as it IS ON those that are
we'll supplied with plant food, but, if
other conditions are favorable, it
makes a considerable crop on poor
land. When rains are infrequent it
continues growing after many other
| plants have come to a standstill, and
after long periods of dlouth it promp-
ly responds to the first fall or rain.
This quality makes it extremely val
liable in regions which are subject
to long spells Of dry weather. In
numerous places where Indian corn
has been an utter failure, and even
grass has made but little growth, for
want of rain, very far crops of Kaffir
corn have been secured. The grains
of Kaffir corn is little larger than
those of the rice plant, and are near
ly round. They are formed at the
Of the shoot, taking the place of the
tassel in Indian corn. The heads ape
pear like large plumes, and give the
fields a handsome appearance when
they are waving in the wind. The
stalks grow from four TO seven feet
i'll height, and are we'll supplied with
leaves. When grown only for for
age the seed is sometimes sown
broadcast, and the crop is feed green
or is cut and cured like hay. 1t is
much better, however, to plant in
drills and cultivate like broom corn
or Indian corn. From four to five
pounds Of seed will plant an acre Of
land. 1t does not terminate as quick.

The Political Outlook.

The premature Is proper now in politics
and every event occurs the day before it
transpires. Our President is scarcely seat
ed before the name of his successor is be-
ing selected and so on down. The quarry
has left cover and already the dogs begin to
give tongue in the field of politics indicating
in the plainest manner possible that we are
in for it now.
The banner county in this banner state
has, however, always held aloof and played
second fiddle time out of mind. Yes, and
we've helped send men to congress whose
only merit was their money and no surplus
of that useful commodity either, but who
counted one at roll call and meal time.
is good man but he is so busy-he and his
clerk-that he could simply acknowledge
the receipt Of a request from me recently to
give information as to where certain statis-
tics could be found-stamp enclosed-and
that ended 1t. The information never came.
Why, the immortal Chandler would have
had il attended to at once even IL the request
came from a democrat. But we're all so
busy down at Washington now-terribly
busy watching the president and Secretary
Olney.
Well, that couple needs constant watch
set over them to keep them from making an
ass of us as nation and shooting off their
bazoo in some such shapes as the Monroe
message for instance and the Venezuelan
pronunciamento. Do you suppose for an
instance that the honored Blaine would have
allowed any such nonsense as has emanated
from the administration within the last sixty
days? Harrison came near making an ass
of himself in the Chiian affair and would
have succeeded but for Blaine.
Did you ever see picture of Sec. Olney?
II not, can tell you just what kind of
man he looks like. His head is shot for
ward expectantly, lips thin and langu age
seems to rest around on them ready to slide
Off at the slightest jar. His mouth Is set to
go off any time-presume he talks in his
sleep-and set on the hair-trigger, too, so
that 1t is as impossible to tell when and at
what he will shoot It next as 1t Is to tell
where lightning is going to strike. q There is
pug pup about my premises that carries
more dignity In his general appearance.
But here we are as nation, handicapped
by an administration that, judging from re-
cent events, borders on imbecility. Heaven
help US.

balls have always been of high order, but
the sixth one given Monday evening at the
Armory was the best one yet given here by
Dean Swift's countrymen. No pains were
spared to make the Armory look as inviting
as possible. Arrangements had been made
with the management of the leap year party
so that the pink, green and white bunting
so tastefully draped by them was allowed to
remain. Part of the pink bunting however
was replaced with green, recalling to every
loyal Irish. heart the old song, "Wearing OF
the green." Music as sweet as once rang
from the "Harp of Tara's Halls" was played
by Wesener's orchestra who sung as part
Of one number chorus ''Swim out O'Gra-

march of eighty-five couples led by Charles
McNaIly and Miss Maggie Connolly, was
very fine and presented very pleasing
sight to those in the gallery, many of whom
must have wished that their more or less re-
mote ancestors had trod gay measures on
the "ould sod" The Irish and American
flags were draped side by side over the ros-
trum occupied by the orchestra and showed
that while lrish-American citizens are just
as loyal to America as anyone they have a
deep love for the land of Burke and Moore,

| from oppression which they find here.s 80
The Hibernans have always been capital
hands at entertaining and that everything
moved without the least friction was due
largely to the reception committee, Mes
