A World of Contradictions.

do not know just why it is; cannot
understand,
But somehow things don't seem to go
the way that they are planned.
There was Willie Wilkins mamma said
he should a parson be,
Bnt he's now dispensing cordial in a
wet goods hostlery;
And Tommy Tucker, who was called
the bright boy of our school,
Since he's grown up he's mostly known
as "Deacon fuckers Fool"
And Charley Chump, whom we allowed
natural born" to be,
He's been ten years in congressman
it's all a-beating me.
There was little Lille Legins, just as
modest as could be,
She is wearing knickerbockers and she
is sight to see;
And a girl that held that marriage is a
thing that heaven forbids,
She is now addressed as Mrs" and
ma of seven kids;
And the youth who said he'd write his
name with Fame's eternal crew,
You will find it largely written, sold
Bill Briggins debtor to"
For the things we mostly figure on are
the things we do not get,
And the castle we have builded is the
one that's marked, "To Let"
The parson says the heavenly land is
bright and full of bliss,
And hope he's better posted THAI he
is concerning this,
For he said, "The righteous hunger not
nor do their seed beg bread
Perhaps they don't but if they don't
they sometimes starve instead.
And often almost wonder if the next
world won't surprise,
By being just about the thing we never
did surmise;
But trust that this is error, for l
would not think mayhap
The man that goes to hades is the one
to strike the snap.

Henry Dorsey has disposed of his
band of 800 or 400 donkeys that have
been running wild along Snake river
for great many years, to parties who,
if they succeed in capturing the an
imals, will ship them to Japan. A
party is now being organized at Bru-
neau to corral the donkeys, but owing
to the lava beds to which they invar-
ably flee when molested, it will be a
difficult task.-Elmore Bulletin.

The Successful Teacher

Her manner is bright and animated
SO that the children cannot fail to
catch something of her enthusiasm.
Her lessons are well planned. Each
new step resting upon n known truth,
is carefully presented.
Everything is i'll readiness for the
dey's work, and she carries ont her
plans easily and naturally.
Old subjects are introduced in ever
varying dresses, and manner and mat
ter of talks are changed before the chill
dren lose interest in them.
She talks only of what is within the
children's experience. Her language is
suited to her class-being simple in
the extreme if she is dealing with
young children.
When she addresses the whole class
she stands where all can see and hear
her.

THE ARKANSAS FILLING UP.
The Rlv-r Ised In Kansas Getting In a
Bad Way.
In one Of his published geological
reports, Prof Haworth, of the Kansas
state university, declared that the
Arkansas river bed was filing up with
such rspidity that in many places the
river must soon break away and find
a new channel Testimony to the same
effect is given by Mr.. Dan Jones, who
has lived on the bank of the river in
Sedgwick county for q great many
years.
"If the sand and trees encroach on
the bed of the river during the next
five years as they have in the past five
years, says Mr.. Jones, there will be
no river bed perceptible. During the
past five years millions OF small cotton
wood and willow trees have sPrOuted
up along the banks of the river. They

trees until now what Was once the
river bed is good substantial river
bank At the present time where the
main channel Of the river was wont to
run is covered with cottonwood trees
about six feet high. The river bed is
gradually filling up aud it won't be
long until there is no bed at all. There
is no water Ia the Arkansas river above
where the Little Arkansas river emp
ties into it. 1t is absolutely dry for
many miles beyond Hutchinson. The
water is all consumed by the irrigatOrs
in the western part Of the state. The

the river does not occur only on one
