Home, Sweet Home.

The following composition was read
at recent Friday afternoons exer-
cises of the Punkinville high school
BY one Of the brightest boys OF the
town:
1.-The poit haz sed home sweet home,
but the poit wuz mistuck. Sum homes

Birds Made to Order.


The japanese are ruthless in their
tampcring with nature. If they de-
eide that they want bird or an ami
NAL of certain shape or color they
set about manufacturing the article.
SO to speak, by the exercise Of ex-
coedingly clever ingenuity and untir-
ing patience. Here, for example, is
how the white sparrows are produced.
They select a pair of grayish birds
and keep them in a white cage in a
white room, where they are attended
By person dressed in white. The
mental effect on a series of genera
tions of birds results in completely
white birds. Rural World.

Another Centennial Exposition.

The next important event in Amcri-
can history which calls for centennial
commemoration is the purchase Of
Louisiana by President Jefferson in
1868.
Already the wide-awake and enter
prising spirits of that section Of the
country included within the original
boundaries Of the Louisiana purchase
are beginning to agitatc the question
of holding a great international expo
sition in 1903, either at St. Louis or
some other convenient point.
There can be no doubt of the vast
Importance to this country of the
Louisiana purchase. As the result Of
this ahrcwd negotiation on the part Of
President Jefferson, the United States
acquired nearly one half of its present
domain. Out of this immense strip
of territy some twelve or fifteen States
have been carved, and there is no sec
tion Of the country more thrifty than
the one included within the original
area of the Louisiana purchase.
10 commemorate the acquisition of
this vast area would not be inappro-
pirate, but whether or not Congress
sees fit to encourage the project re-
mains to be seen. One Of the Mis-
souri, Congressman has introduced a
measure providing for the proposed
exposition, and this measure is ex-
pected to come up soon.-.Attnnsn

keeper was obliged to 60 upstairs after

again read with interest. 1t says:
"Two friends, setting out together

came up, and after smelling of him
some time, left him and went on.

out: well, my friend, what said the
