Scatter Smiles.

Go sing to others songs Of hope
And scatter smiles OF cheer.
Ard thou'lt forget to greve or NOPE,
For life won't seem so drear;
For love smiles scattered on the way,
Like dew from heavens skies.
viii bring a balm to saddened hearts
And hope to fearful eyes.
Go sing to others songs Of hope
And lend helping hand,
And thou'lt be happier, happier far
While iourneying down life's strand,
And though dark clouds be overcast,
All, let thy smiles more beam
And form a rainbow arch OF hope
Across life's troubled stream.
Go sing to others songs OF hope
And search some heart to heal.
With kindly thoughts and loving deeds
An active soul reveal.
That day by day some brothers. load
May lessen through thy love
And some poor soul be filled with bliss
Akin to that above.
Go sing 10 Others songs Of hope
And spread thy influence sweet,
And other souls. admiring thee,
Thy example may repeat
Until the fellowship OF men
May grow In love and grace,
And when thy mission be fulfilled
Leave earth better place.

When breakfast things are cleared away,
The same old problems rising,
For she again sits down to think
OF something appetizing.
The dinner she must soon prepare
Or give the cook directions,
And great Is the relief she feels
When she has made selections.
When dinner things are cleared away.
The problem that is upper
Is Just the same. with one word changed,
"What can get for supperr'
sbe wants TO give them something new,
And long is meditation
Till choice is made, and then begins
The work OF preparation.
When supper things are cleared away,
Again her mind is worried.
For then she thinks OF breakfast time,
When meals are often hurried.
She ponders DER II long until
The question Is decided.
Then bustles round till she makes sure
That eyerything's provided.
That "womau's work Is never done"
Has eiten been disputed.
But that she's worried is fact
And cannot be refuted.
The worry over what to eat
Is greatest of tnesc questions
And glad she'd be II some one else
Would make the meal suggestions

The CIoh md the Geniua.

A genius and n clod one day
Raked the meadows sweet with hay.
The genius said, "a plainly see
That hayseeds not the thing for me-"
And he said as his hay rake forth he hurled,
'1'll go snatch laurels from the world
The clod opined that good. green hay
Was better than laurel any day.
So the genius travelled wide and scared
And hooked sweet sonnets for his board.
The clod's dad died and left will;
Gave him farm and good grst mill.
He sold young pigs and cows and beevcs
And never pined for laurel leaves.
The genius came to the farm one day,
And the clod in the meadow raked the hay.
The genius had seen some right hard knocks,
And at the time he was on the rocks.
He had taken his meals. It was plain to sea,
With great irregularity.
And good old fashioned mutton stew
Would beat all the laurel. he thought, that
grew.
The clod embraced his long lost twin,
Straightway to the kitchen took him In,
And he said as he watched his brothers. greed
That he didn't think laurel was much for feed.
Next day the genius raked the hay
For the clod at a dollar ten per day.
And he said as he mopped his sweating broz,
''Three squares beat laurel anyhow

BIG WHEAT SHIPMENT.
Armour ~ Company send a Million
Bushels From Chicago.


Chicago. Sept. 5.-0ne million bushels
of wheat, the largest shipment in one
day in many years, was placed With
yes'aelmen Yesterday for Shipment to.
Lake Erie. Most of this, grain was
shipped from the elevators controlled by
Armour & Co. With the wheat went
100000 bushels Of corn and oats.
Among grain and ves@elmen the ship
ment Of such a large quantity of grain
Wa' the main topic Of conversation. For
months the. average of the daily char
ters have not been over $4,000 TO 100000
bushels, and there was considerable
speculation as To the sudden outgoing
of this great bulk of Wheat.
1T Was said that nearly all of the
wheat which was, shipped out had been
brought to Chicago by the elevator men
from Kansas City and the southwest
Others held the opinion that the grain
was moved to make room for incoming
wheat.
Owing to the attitude Of the city au-
.thorities in attaching three vessels for
damage done to bridges by collisions
have been sending their boats
to other ports This made. a natural
shortage of tonnage. and with it came
an increase in freight rates The adj
vance has been from one and one fourth
to ne and one-half cents, but even at
the latter figure every available boat
was taken by the grain shippers.
Mr.. Armour's representatives. were
on the ground early in the morning and
engaged everything in sight II was
not until then that other shippers woke
up and started out to find vessel room.
Most of them We're disappointed and
will probably have to await the arrival
of the next fleet. One South Chicago
firm secured the Rockefeller steamer
Ericsson for 10000 bushels of wheat and
10000 bushels of corn.
The bulk of the grain is in the public
elevators, which are required to fur
nish statement of stock on hand to
the board of trade. The present stock
is estimated at 1866, 900 bushels, an
increase of 464,0O0 bushels over last
week. The stock in the private ele-
vators, which do not furnish the board
with statistics, is estimated at 100000
bushels.
