THE COOLEY KISS AT THE
DOOR.

Her eyes were illumined with a glance
of pride
And her heart with love aglow
Az she softly tripped te her husbandit
side
When he opened the door to 20.
And there in her morning wrapper
trim,
While smile her red lips wore,
She stood on the steps and gave to him
A good-by kiss at the door.
She turns to her duties with cheerful
heart
For she has not now to learn
That the wife and husband must often
part
When the daily breads to earn;
And there's peace and joy in her gentle
breast
AS she sews, or sweeps the floor,
And every task is essayed with zest
For the good-by kiss at the door.
And the husbands striving in life'e
rough race,
Where there's little time for play,
Has many glimpse of her smiling
face
In his mind through the busy day,
And his look is tender, his eyes are
bright
As he cons his ledger DER,
For he thinks of the welcome that
waits at night,
And the good-by kiss at the door.
O wives and husbands, the world is
bright
When the heart with love doth glow,
And its path is smooth and its burden
light
1t you're willing to make them so;
And the sun will shine through the
darkest day
And scatter the clouds that lower,
And the roses blossom along life's way
For the good-by kiss at the door.

Bright Side Of Farm Life.

Mrs. Victory G. Hart, of West Tor
rington, Conn, writes the New York
Witness the following sensible letter
about farming:
II will tell you what know about
farming. I know that farm life is the
most pleasant, independent, and health
full life in the world. Any farmer,
he may have many acres or few, may
be successful if he and wife are thor
ough people. The success OF farming,
as in every other kind of work, depends
upon thoroughness. Work half way
done is failure.
eff ploughing is done in season, the
ground we'll cultivated and enriched
before planting or sowing and properly
cared for after; if grass is cut in the
right time, we'll cured before putting
into the barn; if the COWS are we'll

"Will the farmer become rich7 He
will probably lay by something "for a
rainy day." I cannot say that he will
own a vast amount of railroad stock OF
Western bonds, but he is nevertheless,

scheming for Wives.

Star.
"There are plenty OF women In Ore
gon now," observed a prominent Ore
gon politician, who is here to see that
that State is not forgotten in the matter
of patronage, "but it is within the
memory OF many of us when women
were very scarce there. We gave it
out that we wanted them for school
teachers and the like, and encouraged
them to come out there, but the truth
was the men wanted them for wives.
II remember once we sent a young
man to Massachusetts,, where he was
we'll acquainted, with orders to collect
one hundred young women and to es-
cort them back to Oregon. We guar
anteed every one of them ono years
employment. The active man in the
matter was 'ine-looking young man,
who afterward served two terms in
Congress from our State. He spent
two months in selecting the party ana
started West with them. On the trip
out he courted one of the school teach
ers on his own hook and actually got
her consent to a marriage on the arriv-
al of the train at Portland. The boys
howled considerably about it, claiming
that he had treated them unfairly, In
having first choice, but there was lot
of fine, marrfageable material left.
Some of those women are to-day the
leading ladies of the society of the
State. More than three-fourths of the
hundred were married inside of three
years, and many in less than one year.
A few of the lot, however, are teaching
school there to day mot that they did not
have any offers, but because they would
not accept any of the fellows who offer
ed themselves. Now that Senator
Mitchell has about given up his con-
sent to return as Senator, he will likely
be succeeded by gentleman who mar
ried one of the party of school teachers
to which refer. He will bring his
wife here with him, and your Washing
ton folks can see for themselves the
kind of ladies we had out there for
school teachers. They can't be sur
passed even if equalled anywhere. I
may be an interested person though,
for it happens that my wife was one of
the party"

A'prairie fire started Saturday afternoon
lea j. w. Harshberger's farm in Will
burn township, IA miles south, and COW
cred the range for 10 miles in extent,
and burning a strip from 6 to 10 miles
wide. The wind was blowing from the
southwest at a lively rate, and the flames
shot ahead with great speed. Various
attempts were made to check the fire by
''back firing" and in some cases this
was successful, but the fire followed over
a path of many miles, burning a great
extent of grange. Some boys who were
herding cattle were playing with match
es, and it is believed they carelessly ig-
Iiited the grass. There were no fire
guards on the burned range.
