O PRINTING
WHEN eoe's AWAY AT SCHOOL,

Ali dear delightful season. ali
Too rare and far too briefi
Sweet time when silence soft doth fall
AS falls the floating leafl
IT'S ushered in with siam OF gate,
! And out with flying stool;
And auietude doth rule in state
When Bob's away at school.
Upon the porch the tabby cat
With blinking eyes doth doze,
In tranquil dreams forgetting that
Her life's q round of woes.
And Towser, stretched upon the grass,
In visions OF the pool,
FOrgets to bark at feet which pass
While Bob's away at school.
What blessed charm enfoIds the house
Throughout that season rare!
Each buzzing fly and cheeping mouse
Sleeps sound within his lair,
The elms beside the garden gate,
So freshly green and cool
Scarce stir their giant limbs sedate
When Bob's away at school.
But all too soon it fades away.
"Hf, Towserl Sic her, sirl"
Puss leaps the fence. a dash OF gray,
Towse just a yellow blurl
Bangi goes the door, In runs the lad
And yet the chaps a fool
Who'd not be just a little glad
When Bob comes home from school.

The Best Cattle For the Farm.

In the Judgment of the writer there
are three classes OF cattle: The special
dairy cattle, the special beef cattle
and the general purpose cattle. The
first should be kept by all dairymen
who are making dairying their special
work and the next by those who breed
for beef only. where the calves must
be raised by the dams. The place for
the general purpose COW is on the
average farm where the farmer wishes
to grow q good beef animal, and at the
same time he is obliged to milk his
COWS in order to have milk and butter
for the family without a cash outlay
for same. But right here it might be
we'll to give idea of a general pur-
pose COW. She is one that gives a
large amount OF milk. and produces q
calf that can be grown into q good
quality of beef at an early age. She
may not give as much milk as the
special dairy COW, nor her calves make
quite SO much meat as those OF the
highest type of beef cattle. She is the
only kind of q COW the average farmer
can afford to keep who wants to grow
beef aud cannot afford to keep a special
beef COW for the whole year with no
other income from her than the calf
she produces. The average farmer
can get this general purpose COW with
out so much cash outlay as it takes to
start in special breeding. Cows of
common or mixed breeding will answer
for the foundation providing they are
large in body and roomy in frame and
good mixers. If there is any dairy
blood III them they will be less able
TO produce the light kind of calves.
There is no better material for founda-
ton stock than good short horn grades.
The sire should be pure bred, OF good
beef blood, q short-horn OF the milk
ing strain preferred. The average
farmer wants a COW that will average
not less than 200 pounds Of butter
per year and produce q calf that will
weigh 1900 to 400 pounds at two
years eld.-ohn Libey, in Farmers
Guide.

A Chicago Fraud.

For several months past the Shep-
herd Mfg. Co., of Chicago, has been
flooding this country with circulars
offering high grade sewing machines
at prices from So to SI4. Mrs. S.
a. Elkins, who lives at Weir, sent
a money order for s14 to the con-
Germ, and after waiting several weeks
without hearing from her remittance
made an effort to recover her money
or get shipment of the machine.
She received letter from the receiv-
er of the company, stating that the
effects of the company, consisting
mostly of catalogues and office fur
niture, had been sold for $500, and
that there we're liabilities of about
So, 900. These ny-by-night concerns
are always bleeding the people, and
always will, we suppose, since tempt
ing offers appeal SO strongly to so
many people. They guaranteed
their machines for 20 years, and
Mrs. Elkins says her experience will
last her fully that long.

Shooting at DrakeSbOrO.

The town of Drakesboro was the
scene of a shooting ARRAY last Sun
day afternoon at 8 o'clock, in which
Joe Jernigan was seriously hurt by
Emmett Mcbride. From the details
as gathered here, there has been
quarrel on the previous evening be-
tween the men. The next day Nc
Bride was at point on the street
usually passed by Jernigan, and was
evidently awaiting his appearance.
The men resumed the quarrel, and
Jernigan struck Mcbride in the face
with his fist. Mcbride was sitting
in his buggy, and Immediately pro-
duced shotgun which he had con
.cealsd Iern grabbed
the barrel and pushed it aside, there
by no doubt saving his life. As it
was, the load of shot tore away a
part of his breast, and made an ugly
wound. Mcbride endeavored to
shoot again, and would have been
able to kill his wounded antagonist
but for the appearance of bystand-
ers, who snatched the gun from him.
Mcbride started at once for this
place and surrenderedto the author
tiles. He is in Jail, default of $500
bond, and will have an examining
trial Monday. Jernigan is a quiet
highly respected man, while Mcbride
is considered dangerous character,
and has been in trouble heretofore.
Both are married men, and the af-
fair is deeply deplored in their home
