WHAT MATTERS IT?

What matters it if joy or grief Should fall into our portion? If happiness is only brief, As fleeting is misfortune. At any rate, the self-same fate Stands at the verge before us: 'T.s but a little while to wait, His shadow settles OCT us. lis just as well to wear a smile And all life's tempes.s weather Untroubled: In a little while We'll all be dead together What matters it? A few days more, The chapter may be ended Across OblivOn's sOundless shore Our dreams will all be blended H0we'er we seek to mend our lot Tn spite of our endeavor We age, we die, and are forgot Forever and forever 'Tis just as we'll to be cOntent Nor seek to break the tether That binds Us. When the years are
 spent
 We'll all be dead together. What matters it? For when we go New men will take our places, And in million years or 50 Will come new lands and races.
 
 The earth dies, dropping sunward, F. 0m out the womb of the sublime New worlds will hasten onward. \ moment n eternity.
 Our life is but a feather Blown from us. Through the long tO-be We'll all be dead together. What matters ;.? Fer at the best Soon ceases joy or sorrow; We pass to everlasting rest, Or to brighter morrow. 'Tis but the stopping of the breath And ended is the story; We journey through the gates of deSth To dreamJsss sleep or glory. So whats the use of signs and tears? The fates await Us whether We smile or weep. A hundred years, We'll all be dead together.

How to Prevent Pneumonia.

You are perhaps aware that pneu-
monia always results from cold or
from an attack of la grippe. During
the epidemic of Ia grippe a few years
ago when so many cases resulted in
pneumonia, it was observed that the
attack was never followed by that dis
ease when Cham berlain's Cough Rem
edy was used. 1t counteracts any
tendency of a cold or Ia grippe to re-
sult.in that dangerous disease. 1t is the
best remedy in the world for bad colds
and Ia grippe. Every bottle war
ranted. For sale by all druggists.

Swine Raising and Farmers Organizations
Discussed.

swine Raising anu
Discussed.
Thursday mornings session was
opened with prayer by Rev. j. E.
Willard. after which W. H. Ash
down read a paper on Swine Rails
ing" He suggested the Importance
of selecting the the best breed, both
male and female on the principle that
the best is not too good. Hogs should
have the best of care, should be Judi
ciouslv fed, should be provided with
wood pasture, and should be sup
piled with abundance of pure water
and be well housed in clean quarters.
Always keep them well supplied with
ashes and salt and don't allow more
more than % to herd together in one
bunch Mr.. Hollister conceded with
Mr.. Ashdown.
The next topic was profit and sta
tistics by w. S. Mccullough, vino said
about 10, 100000 hogs were sold in
Chicago last year, which averaged in
value about So each. which shows the
Importance and extent of the hog in
dustry, and what it means to the
farmers.
DR.. w. II. Lyford had planted
about six acres in kaffir corn (Which
heads out similar to sorghum) as an
experiment, and announced it a great
success.
The afternoon session of the last day
was opened by Miss Edna Crompton
again playing several pieces of music
upon the organ while the Assem- bly,
was gathering.
Advantages OF Organization.
The first subject taken up in the
afternoon was to show the advantages
and necessities of Farmers Organi-
cations. b. F. Fountaine stated that
Rock Island was the banner county
for the formation of Farmers Or
CARNATIONS, - although as many know
to their sorrow, that in the first in
stance we met with n signal failure.
Nevertheless, that was no reason why
we should not make another effort
The farmers are now ground down tC
the earth by millionaire monopolists.
The wealth of the nation is gradually
getting into the hands Of the few and
the masses, both farmers and labor
ing men, are gradually becoming more
and more Impoverished, and the pros
pect for the future is very dark unless
larHeIS anu ldooTlHS men organize
| for their own interests. Oliver Will
son, master of state grange, then adj
dressed the institute in the same line
of thought.
The afternoon session of the insti-
tute was brought to termination by
the reading of two papers upon the
subject of Life Home Upon the
Farm" by Mrs. j. e. Osborne, and
Mrs. S. M. Coddington, which re-
ceived the closest attention.
The institute then adjourned.

The party were conveyed by special train

then assembled in an ante-room, and after
being instructed in the respective parts
they were to play were admitted one by
one to the presence of Her Majesty. The
knight on entering the room made his obei-
sance twice. and advancing close to Her
Majesty bowed a third time and dropped
on one knee. Her Majesty then rested a
sword on his shoulder for a moment, and
uttered the words Sir - mentioning
only the Christian name). She next placed
the ribbon of the order round his neck and
attached the badge to a clip which had
already been fastened on his breast. He
then raised his arm and the Queen placing
her hand on his wrist, he conveyed it to
his lips, rose, bowed, and retired backward.
The moment the door closed behind him
he was seized by two officials. who stripped
him of his ribbon and badge and placed
them hurriedly in a case, which they hand
ed to him with directions to deposit it
with his great coat The correspondent S
friend did not like this. He would have
desired that the badge should remain
always on his uniform where the Queen
had affixed it. After the whole party had
been decorated they adjourned TO lunch-

A HOG IN THE WRONG PLACE
Ludicrous Mistake In n Knnsas City
Scho-I.
From the Kansas City Journal.)

from the Kansas City Journal)
Up in the high school building, which
is to be the proud temple of higher edu-
cation for Independence people, is emblaz-
oned the coat of arms OF the great State
of Missouri
When the coat Of arms was placed in the
window il attracted general attention, and
the members of the school board thought
II looked odd, for never before had the pic
ture Of a big hog been noticed as forming
part of the coat of arms for Missouri.
Encircling the fat porker was the State
motto. United we stand, divided We fall -
On either side were two enormous bears
but the hog looked out OF place
President John A. Sea of the school
board, was sent for and the new coat Of
arms of Missouri seemed OUT of place TO
him, too. Mr.. Sea is a lawyer and was
quite sure that the contented -lOooking hog
pictured in the art window was foreign to
any coat of arms he ever saw.
The art glass manufacturer was sent for
and asked why il was that pig should
adorn the coat OF arms of the great State
Of Missouri and that, too, in Il temple OF
education.
The art glass man was nonpIussed. Mr.
Sea contended that the original coat of
arms had black bear but hog-never
| The picture of the hog must come out
the president of the board declared. When
tuc ar SidSS uuu lOuLu HIS DSdIlHSS tHt
hog business was explained.
A picture of the coat of arms of Missouri
I had been obtained in miniature for copy.
! The bear picture could not be made out
and the whole matter was taken before a
Kansas City lawyer. who declared the pic
ture Of the bear TO be that of hog and
so the window was made up with the hog
taking the place OF the bear.
The artist who made up the art window
had the curl of the pigs tail down TO a
! fine point, and altogether the porker look
ed contented and happy as he nestled be-
tween the folds of the flag.
Since the decree of the school board that
the hog must come out and the bear be
substituted in it's place those OF higher
culture are breathing easier, and every
body applauds the school board for insist
| ing on all works of art in the building be-
| ing historically correct

THE SECOND Time

Hanged May ).
Strange Coincidence Connected
With the Date Set.
Lawyer Truitt's Earnest Appeal for
His Client-Mny Ask Execu-
tive CIemency.

William NJ Strather, colored, was today
for the second time sentenced TO death
for the murder of Rosa Toibeit. wn0m he
killed on October Is, 1897.
BY strange coincidence. the date set for
his execution is exactly one year from the
time fixed in the first sentence
Strather was convicted in Criminal
Court No. before Justice Bradley on
February 10, 1898. and on March 10 low
ing was sentenced to be hanged on May
..
Today. one year and fifteen days since
his first conviction, he was sentenced by
Justice Cole, presiding in Criminal Court
No 1, 10 be hanged on May next.
The proceedings today in connection
with Strather's case were on the lotion
OF his attorney, Samuel D. Truiit. for q
new trial Mr.. Truitt made a strong an
peal for his client and at the c o was
complimented by the court on the earnest-
ness of his argument.
In oyerruling the motion for ne.s-
trlaI, Justice Cole reviewed the case from
It's beginning. The prisoner. ne said. had
twice been convicted by impartial Iuries
ana ne could not do otherwise. no hiatter
how unpleasant the duty, but impose the
penalty OF the law-death.
strather was then called 10 the stand 70
be sentenced
Justice Cole asked: Have you ANYTHING
10 say why sentence should not b. i'm
posed? The prisoner remained perfectly
motloniess and apparently without concern
but made no reply to the question Of the
court
Justice Cole then continuing said The
sentence OF the court is that you be taken
10 the jail whence you came and there be
eonnned uii May ., 1888, when you shall
De taken from your cell TO the place OF
execution prepared. and between the
hours OF noon and l o'clock post meridian
hanged by the neck until you are dead.
