HOW THEY LIVE IN WIREGRASS

The ease with which the people of
the wiregrass country live is a stand
ing invitation for the people of other
sections to immigrate. From the
Rochelle New Era we learn that wild
turkeys strut around ambitious of the
pot. One prominent citizen, while out
in the woods looking after his bust
ness, took his gun and decided to go to
place he had baited a week before
for wild turkeys, thinking perhaps he
might happen to the good fortune of
getting a shot at one. He stopped
about thirty-five or forty yards before
reaching the spot baited and waited
patiently for few minutes, and in
about ten minutes a fine gobbler came
to the place, and before the hunter
could raise his gun and take aim, an
other came, and they kept coming I'M
til there were five in the bunch. This
was more than he could stand, and,
taking deliberate aim, he fired, killing
four fine gobblers. The fifth one ran
off and the captor is confident he
wounded him. He took his game home
and the first thing he did was to
weigh them and the gross weight was
"a pounds. The largest one after be-
ing dressed weighed "a pounds. He is
now the champion turkey killer Of the
wiregrass and the fellow that gets
around him has got to do some mighty
tall" shooting. This is but sample
of what goes on every day, and it
shows that Georgia is the best land
yet-Atlanta Constitution.

were many others, especially one or
two men whom I did not know, and

There was one man who had the neces-
sary influence to lend me in it, and
while we were friendly and he felt
kindly disposed toward me, he had not
espoused my cause. One night after

THE NEW YEARS POET.
When all the world lay fresh and

When all the world lay fresh and
white
A shining sheet of snow
The years young poet came to write
His songs upon it so.
His pen in dawn's warm gold he dipt,
Ard from it fast there fell
Those fragrant phrases, honey-lipt
Where music loves to dwell.
Blue violets set line by line,
With green spears here and there.
And ruby buds upon the vine
He wrote them everywhere.
Lyrics of blossoms, wonder words,
Woven in leafy rhyme,
Wherewith to win again the birds
And speed their trysting-time.
Hark! now this happy dreaming done,
The heart begins to sing!
The world is full of love and sun,
Of lyric song and spring!
Frank Dempster Sherman in Wo-
mans Home Companion.

THE BOY WITH THE BOOK.

Written after seeing an Office boy at
his desk.
Oblivious to all earthly cares, he
reads,
His brow contracted and his hair
awry,
His eyes glued to a soiled and we'll
thumbed page,
His dirty collar slipping through his
tie. .
Who daubed his fingers with that yell
low stain
And closed his jaws upon that wad
Of gum?
Whose was the hand that glued him
to that chair
And sealed his ears and made him
deaf and dumb?
Is this the boy who guards the office
door
And answers messages upon the
run
Who bars the entrance of the beggar
vile
And scares away the man who
comes to dun?
Is this the lad who one short week
ago
Seemed so demure and anxious for a
Cob
Who offered testimonials by the
score,
Whose being seemed with love for
work to throb?
What cares he for the scolding of the
clerks,
| The jangling bell, the summons, loud
and cross?
Is he the boy whom fiction oft de-
scribes,
| Who works his way from Office Boy
| to Boss?
Whence sprung that tangled growth
upon his head?
| Whence came those streaks of dirt
upon his palms?
| Whence came this Sight, Ger which
the angels weep
And utter anything but praiseful
psalms?
Where did he get those Feet so
proudly sprawled
| Before him, over which the passer
trips?
whose hands besmeared his boots with
Shiny mud
And spread molasses taffy DER his
lips?
How different he from the Ideal Child
Of whom J. Abbott wrote, the man
ly boy
Who toiled from 6 A. M. to 10 P. M,
And counted labor an exquisite joy?
Who'll dare stir up this half-recum-
bent youth
Bending, preoccupied, above his
book?
Who'll beard this little lion in his
den
And stand unmoved before his aw-
full look
When, goaded to slow madness by
some man
Who rashly asks: us you Employer
in?"
He deigns to raise his eyes from
Desperate Dick
The Demon Terror, and His Deeds
of SIM"
What man so stout of heart, firm, I'M
abashed
AS to remain serene, calm and I'M
aWed
When, in reply, this Awful Youth
snarls forth
whats that? He Amt In! What S
Yer Name 2-Oh TOrdi'

NOTHING Ne W
In the Situation In the Sierra Madre
CoIonies.-TheT Troops will Stay
At Casas 6randes For the Pre-

There are no new developments to-
day in the Indian situation at Colonia
Pacheco.
1t is evident, however. that the gov
eminent officials are somewhat annoy-
ed at the small outbreak made last
week as the soldiers that went from
Juarez are to remain in that section
for some time.
The announcement made yesterday
that they would return immediately
was mistake as they have bone into
camp at Casas Grandes. A company
of the same regiment from chihuahua
arrived in Juarez Sunday night to re-
lieve those who were here and are I'M
der orders to remain here indefinitely.
1t is yet probable that there are
more Indians in that section than
those who wer Elm the trouble of the
government would nat take such pre-
cautions against further raids. Mayor
Onate disclaims any further knowl-
edge of the trouble than has been pub
lished in the papers but says he does
not know the real situation
The general appearances are war
like in JuareZ, with regular soldiers
moving about. but every one denies
knowing anything contrary to the re-
port published yesterday.

From X. III Policy pastor in charge Rockford

KOCKFORD, ILL.,, AprlI3, IOOO.

Court Street Methodist Church.
ROCKFORD, ILL.,, April3, 1900.
To the Chanute TIMES. Our church
and community have not yet recover
ed from the recent visit OF the dark
angel that saddened the happy home
OF DR.. j. j. Reed, on March 29th, ana
ruthlessly snatched away the devoted
wife and mother, after an illness OF
only four days.
Mrs. Reed, who has lived in Rock
ford about five years, was the mother
of four beautiful children and the
wife of devoted husband whom she
leaves to mourn their great loss but
cherish her memory always. The
church of which she was faithful
and most worthy member shall miss
her very much from all its services.
Mrs. Reed was of quiet, retiring ma
ture, and faithful, generous and kind,
to fault. She talked little, but work.
ed more and thought clearer on all
subjects brought to her attention.
She was a faithful friend, true ad-
visor, and substantial Christian.
Her Christian virtues were or life
long growth; she was always Chris
tian believer from earliest girlhood,
and a constant helper in the church
all her life. She managed the music
in her home church for many years,
up to her married life, from which
point God blessed her with bright,
intelligent little family, whom she
had so faithfully taught the ways OF
the Lord that they will doubtless be
an honor to her memory and carry for
ward mothers work IN the world, sc
early and hastily laid down by her.
Although only SO years OF age, Mrs
Reed lived long because she lived Sc
well. Her life must not be thought
of in number of years but in quality
of character, in noble aim and in God
like endeavOr. She took much inter
est in the Woman's Missionary So
ciety and beQueathed neat gift in
money to the society in her last hours
which gift God will not cease to en-
nance by His blessings throughout all
the progress of His earthly kingdom
Faithful, sensible. dutiful, womanly
woman, farwell! You shall not re
turn to US, but we shall go to you
Her heart broken husband is now say

Guide me toward home where, all my wander
| ings ending,
| then shall see thee and be satisfied"
