Couldn't stop Him.

Here, where are you going?' de-
manded the Greek captain.
II am inst going over to see how the
Turks are feeling about it," replied the
tourist.
"WeD, you can't pass through this
way" the captain declared
ooh, but l haven't any time to mon
key around. What's the reason / can't
go ahead?"
because the commander has given
strict orders to allow nobody to do so" "
But surely you'll make an exception
in my case. Why, I'm an American. "
Cant help it. My orders are posi-
tive. You must stay inside the lines"
Come, come, now, here's a cigar that
you'll like, and there's $40 to buy your
sweetheart birthday present. That's
---"
"Do you want me to have you put
under arrest? If you don't, stop argu-
ing and go back where you came from -
The stranger stood silent for mo-
ment apparently engaged in deep
thought. Then, upon a sudden, u
happy look overspread his countenance,
and walking up to the soldier, he said:
Say, Cap, I'm from Ohio"
The effect was magical, and two
seconds later he was trudging content
edly along toward the Turkish out
posts.

BOYHOOD DAYS.

| often think of boyhoOd days,
! How in the early spring
The sun would shed its balny rays
And make the meadows steam,
Ana crack the mud along the run
That settled from the rise,
Where we would chase each day for fun
The yellow butterflies,
T'wss there we had a slippery slide,
And it was smooth as ice,
Where down the bank we used TO glide
Into the creek kersI ash.
And oft pis cc OF mu Sgle shell
Was sticking in the track,
But where it was no one could tell
Till il would rake his b tcE.
Those were happy days to me,
never shall forget,
With breeches rolled aboye my kne s.,
And always ringing wet,
An old straw hat all gone TO seed
From seining in the run.
oh, those were happy days, indeed,
With nothing else but fan.
T. | could take the cares of life
And lay them all aside,
Forgetting all the tolls and strife
And earth's deceit and pride,
Then wander back to childhood hours,
\ barefoot boy at play,
! would not change for kIngly power.
With all its lordly SWAY.

SECRETARY WILSON is already in
numerous ways proving the wisdom Of
President Mckinley in selecting u
practical farmer for the head of the
Agricultural Department. lie knows
what the interests of the farmers are,
and to what extent the general govern
ment can serve those interests. one
of the first requests made of President
Mckinley by Secretary Wilson was
that care should be taken in making
the selections for T.. S Consuls in the
agricultural sections of the world TO
get men familiar with agriculture, in
order that they may be able to make
reports that will be of practical bene-
fit to the American farmers. Mr. Viii
son thinks the right sort of consuls
could get valua BILE information for
grain growers from portions of Europe
and in South America, and that the
culture of the sugar beet would in
crease more rapidly if we had careful
reports of an intelligent study of their
culture in Germany, France and Aus
tria.
