A GOOD SAMARITAN.


Lay him away,
1t matters not where;
Dig a hole in the ground
And deposit him there;
Twill be useless to raise
A shaft Ger his head.
For heavens aware
OF the fact that he's dead!
Lowry his lot.
And humble his sphere
The world-the big. busy world knew not
That he ever was sent to minister here;
He gathered no millions, he built up no
trusts
Cornered no markets, robbed no one OF
bread;
His raiment was ragged, he lived upon
crusts-
But heavens aware of the fact that
he's dead.
Did he worship In church
In the orthodox way?
Did the rafters ring when
1t was his turn to prayf
Alas, l know not
But let 1t be said
That heavens aware
OF the fact that he's deadl
The orphan he famed
Through feyeIish days
May live or may not
To cherish his praise;
The sick that he nourished when stricken
himself,
The starving that, when he was hungry,
he fed,
May pray for him now, or may not, as
they list
But heavens aware of the fact that
he's dead.
Lay him away,
1t matters not where;
Dig a hole in the earth
And deposit him there;
/ When the last trumpet sounds
/ He will hear, he will hear
As well as the man
Ger whose head people rear
The highest of columns
/ Aye, put him TO bed!
/ II there is a God He will not forget
That this owly man liyed-and is dead.
/ Cleveland Leader

Half century ago farmers would

year In three or four In the meantime
nature would force growth of weeds
or plants that We're adapted to the con

rest the soil Is to rotate the crops. so
that the soil will not be deprived OF GER
tain plant foods while leaving an ex-
cess of other kinds.

4 correspondent of an exchange says
that while feeding small lot of de
horned steers he permitted bull calf
TO run with them. The horns of the
calf had grown TO the length of about
two inches. and as II was impossible
TO keep him rs bull. 1t seemed pity
to dehorn him. When the steers began
to bunch up he would go in among them
and strike out. right and left. with his
horns, ana he soon established him
self as boss of the herd. Before II was
known that any harm was being done
nine of the steers had Jumps on their
Jaws that soon filled with pus.
OF course an end was put to the reign
of the bull. The injured steers were
placed In stalls. and. after securely fix
Ing their heads with the dehorning rls
for the operation. an lncision was made
into the tumors and all the pus ex-
tracted. Then with syringe an injec-
ton was made of half ounce OF tine
ture of iodine and n strong solution OF
blue vltrlol A few had to be treated
the second time. the lump remaining
after burning with Iodine. This was
treated with q llnlment made of forty
drops OF creosote In one pint of turpen-
tine applied every other day for week.

Lime Benefits Glover and limo

Lime Benefits Glover and Timothy.
The experiments In lining by the
Rhode Island station were continued
through the season of 1897 with clover
and grass. With but one exception. the
crops showed marked benefit from the
application of lime. At four farms In
various parts OF the State the unllmed
clover plots looked better at the begin
ming of the season, but before fall the
plants were puny and the crop almost a
failure. The ability of clover to gain
the upper hand of sorrel upon lined
plots has been fully demonstrated and
Is an important discovery.
Where timothy and red top have been
found together, lining has invariably
increased the percentage of timothy.
This increase has been so great as TO
make the hay sell for 81 per ton more
than formerly harvested from the plot.
The great benefit usually derived from
adding wood ashes to the soil Is thought
TO be not entirely due TO the potash, but
in large degree TO the high percentage
of lime contained. As 1t seems prob
able that ashes Will be more and diff.
ficult to obtain, 1t Is urged that lime
should be applied in their plaee.-Amer-
lean Agrlculturlst.

There are some strange freaks in
human nature, which cannot be &C.
counted for on any other grounds than
that Of depravity. There is the can
didate for office who will sacrifice
friends and even family ties, and re.
sort to all manner of dishonest means
and methods, to secure his election.
He is void of honor and fidelity. Then
there is the man for whom you have
laboreG and said good words and who,
it may be, owes his official position to
your earnest efforts in your behalf; or
perhaps you have lavished kind words
to aid him in his business, Or who, for
some tri1lng cause, forgets all the
kindness you have shown him, and be-
comes your political or business enemy
and seeks to destroy your good name
and patronage.-Gogdon Journal.

EOCD O YHOUGHY.

Now that the congress and president
of the United States have annexed
Hawaii, we will soon settle down and
as American citizens will figure what
is best to do in the premises. The
first thing that is to be done is to give
the politicians a tip to the effect that
we will not use the islands as a politi-
cal football, nor as an asylum for
broken down "war- horses" of any pol
itical party. Still another question re-
mains to be solved, to wit: The
United States has for over thirty years
prided itself on the fact that every
mail citizen of proper age could have a
voice in the moulding of the govern
ment, but what are We going to do
about::the ignorant Kanakas, Cinnamon
and Malays who inhabit the islands?
Will we admit them to full citizenship
at once? If we don't what are we to
with the time honored declaration,
"all men are created free and equal'!
And if we do, what political party
| will control their votes?
These Islands are about 5000 miles
from the American continent, and it
takes at least three weeks time to COM
municate with them; will the govern
ment lay a cable to Honolulu? The
United States prohibits "contract" la
Dor, but that system is in full force in
Hawaii, and the U. S. senate refused
to legislate against it; what will Am
erican la5orers do about it? Already
we have dispatched a regiment of
soldiers to garrison Honolulu; are we
to maintain a standing army to enforce
the United States laws? There are a
hundred questions to be solved about
these islands, and the great American
people should begin to study them.

One of the queerest things that has
happened in connection with u naval
operations around Santiago was the
placing of Captain Sampson in com.

Schley and numerous other senior
officers. Schley drove Cervefa into
the harbor, penned him there, and
destroyed the Spanish fleet when it at
tempted to escape, yet Sampson seeks
to take all the credit to himself.

The Hawaiian Islands are now a
part of these United States. Under
stress of war excitement the repubii-
cans in congress forced tho measure
through, and the islands have been an
nexed with all their Cinnamon, Kan
akas, paupers, filth and Ignorance.
The "grand old republican party
which has posed for years and years
IS the friend of the laborer and farm
er, thus brings these two classes in
direct competition with the pauper
labor of the Hawaiians. AS a state,
or part of the United States, there's no
way of protecting" the American
people from this labor. and the Sugar
Trust has secured another victory.
The senate even refused to incorpor-
ate in the annexation resolutions, or
by other legislation, a law abolishing
the contract labor system of the Ha-
waiian islands. The only thing gained
by the annexation of the Hawaiian
islands will be a few jobs by republi-
can politicians. When a man tells
you that "we need the islands for a
coaling and naval station" take issue
with him at once, and refer him to
this paper. The passage of the an
nexation resolution was the crowning
disgrace of this session of congress,
and the reverend seiginors' immedi-
ately adjourned SO as to 60 home and
