POETIC PHILOSOPHY.

Some one has said that "poetry and
romance find no affinites in life insur.
ance." The statement is questionable
Below we give bit of poetry contain
ing the rhymed phiIosopy of success in
securing business. The lines are clipped
from the Prudential Weekly Record,
and forcefully show that the man who
wins is the man who works.
The man who wins is the man vino does,
The man who makes things hum and buzz,
The man who works and the man who acts,
Who builds on a basis Of solid facts;
Who dosen't sit down to nope and dream,
But humps ahead with the force of steam;
Who hasn't the time to fuss and fret,
But gets there every time-you beti
The man who loses is the man who talks.
Who fumbles and foozles with TRIES and balks,
Who wouldn't do any thing to-day
That he can put off in the same old way;
Who's down on his luck and curses his fate,
And tries to catch fishes without any bait;
Who goes through life with frown on his
face,
Convinced that world is mighty poor place.
The man who wins is the man who wears
A smile to cover his burden Of cares;
Who knows that the sun will shine again,
That the clouds viii pass, and we need the rain;
Who buckles down to pile of work,
And never gives up and never will shirk
Till the task is done and the toll made sweet,
While the temples throb with the red blood's
heat.
The man who loses is the man who means
That the way rough and he breads the stones,
Who is looking for something sof to do,
Where the pay ia big and the hours few;
Who dreams OF this and dreams OF that,
But never sails in and throws of his hat;
Who fears the feel OF drop Of sweat,
And never gets snywhere-you betl
The man who wins is the man who climbs
The ladder Of life TO the cherry chimes
Ofths bells OF labor, the bells OF toll,
And isn't afraid that his skin will spoil
If he faces the shine OF the glaring sun
Anu works in the light till his task Is done
A human engine, with triple beam
And hundred and fifty pounds of steaml

Why Should turkeys Be LOW

There is apparently an effort being
made by turkey buyers throughout
Kentucky TO create an impression by
means OF newspaper articles, that tur.
keys ought to and will be very low in
price this year. We would like n
know the facts in the case, why il is
said that turkeys this year, instead oil
bringing 81 cents, will fetch only 6
cents delivered2 The threat is made
that il the producers do not cell at this
low figure they will "have to hold
them" That looks like cold bluff,
and concerted action on the part OF
the raisers will bring about better
condition for themselves in this matter
and all others. Now is the time to be

HAILSTORM WORKS RUIN.
Losses to Crops In North Dakota and
Minnesota Estimated at Over
x1,OOO.OOO.

st. Paul, Mimi, Aug. IA Fargo
IN. d. special to the Pioneer Pres,
says: Two million bushels of wheat
are estimated to have been lost in
Thursdays hailstorm, which partially
destroyed the crop on nearly 250.00t
acres of land in the state. The tota.
loss will be over 81 ,000.0 900.
Losses are estimated all the way from
25 to 100 per cent. of the crop. The acre
age lost in Cass and Trail is placed at
from 100000 to 100000 acres. Many
conservative estimators say that sc
per cent. of the crop on 10000 acres are
not too large figures for the destruc.
ton in Cass and Trail. The former
seems to have suffered slightly worse
than the latter in acreage. In the north
ern part of the country the storm seems
to have begun as far west as Erie and
Galesburg, and gone directly east on
the county line between Cass and Trail
to Red river, and then over into Mime
sofa.
St. Paul, Mimi, Aug. IA Pioneer
Press special from Ada, Mimi, says:
This county was visited by the most
disastrous hailstorm in its history, and
thousands of acres of grain are now
lying a total loss, many farmers being
entirely hailed out. The storm was
general throughout the county, and as
far as reports can be obtained, trav-
ersed the entire length and breadth of
the county, doing considerable damage
to a large area of grain on the Dakota
side before crossing the river into this
county.
