The Average Man.

Bis face had the grlmness OF granite;
1t was bleached and bronzed by the sun,
Like the coat on his poor narrow shoulders:
And his hands showed the work he had done
His dim eyes were weary and patient;
And he smiled through his palor and tan
wlstful, sad smile, as II saying:
I'm only an average man.
II can't be hero or poet.
Nor dictator wearing a crown,
I'm only the hard-working servant
Of those set above mo. I'm down;
I'm down, and It's no use complaining;
I'll get on the best way can;
And.one of these days II come morning
AMI rest for the average man."
He wages all battles and wins them,
He builds all turrets that tower
Over walls of tho city to tell
Oi the rulers and priests ef the hour.
Without him the general Is helpless,
The earth but place and plan.
He moves all and clothes all and feeds all,
This sad-smiliDg, average man.
Then lifted my hand In promise.
With teeth set close. and my breath
Held hard in my throat; and uttered
A VOW that. shall outllve death.
swear that the builder no longer
To me shall be less than the plan.
Henceforyard be guerdon and glory
And hope for the average man.

Apropos to Congressman Henderson's
circular letter sent to several of his
political friends for publication, and
which was recently published in this
county, Washington correspol.
dent says:
"Just when the republicans needed
to exercise all the forbearance
and tact which lies in their power to
prevent the Porto Ricans dispute from
splitting their party into fragments,
Speaker Henderson gives out for publ
cation letter over his signature which is
practically an insult to every republi-
can who favors keeping the pledges of
the government and granting free trade
to Porto Rico.
"He calls the republican senators,
who oppose the tariff, towards and de-
clares that the trusts are In favor of
free trade with Porto Rico.
Speaker Henderson again repeats
the parrot cry that the country does not
understand the Porto Rican tariff
bill. Senator Davis, of Minnesota,
quite as good a republican as Speaker
Henderson, declares that the trouble is
that the republican majority in con.
gress doesn't understand what the
country thinks of the tariff BILL and
that he has never witnessed so univer.
sal demand irrespective of party
lines as tha. which now goes up from
every part of the United States that
the country shall keep faith with the
Porto Ricans.
Speaker Henderson's claim that the
trusts are in favor of free trade with
Porto Rico is absolutely without founda-
ton. The trusts want tho present
Dingley tariff maintained, because it
will enable them to keep down the
price of sugar and tobacco in Porto
Rico, keep up the price of those arti-
cles in the United States, and finally re-.
cover through the courts, the entire
tariff duty levied on.those articles and
which the consumers have finally paid.
"In these days of advanced knowl-
edge as to the incidence of taxation Mr..
Henderson declares himself in favor of
tariff on the food, clothing and other
necessities of the half starved and max
ed Porto Ricans, and against taxing
the Spanish landlords on their enor-
lmously valuable estates.

The Last Turn.

(Fr0m The Chicago Tribune.)
The wheel of fortune has brought
disaster to one of its own kind
and has sealed the fate of the
Ferris wheel, 1t is strange that in
Chicago, the city of creators OF wheels
and lovers of immensities, that this gi-
gantic wheel should be allowed to go
the way of those who have gone its
rounds and be resolved into its elements.
Perhaps the reason of this lies in the
fact that people like better to turn the
wheels than to be turned by them, or
maybe those who have had their turn
in this one have unpleasantly expert
enced some of those insane feelings
that are said to come to those who reach
great heights. But it seems pity that
SO much ingenuity and such model of
mechanical skill should be permitted to
go to waste. Such fact only proves
how hazardous IL is to be inventive
purely in the interests of amusement.

The Path to Glory.
Not once or twice in oIr rough island.story.
The path Of duty was the way 10 glory;
He that walks 1t only thirsting
For tho light, and learns to deaden
Love of self, before his journey closes.
He shall find the stubborn thistle bursting
Into glossy purples, which out.redden
Ali yoluptuous garden roses.
Not once or twice In our fair island-story,
The path of duty was the way to glory;
He, that ever following her commands.
On with toll of heart and bleeding hands,
Thro' the long gorge to the far light has won
His path upward, and prevaild,
Shall find the toppling crags of Duty scaled
Are close upon the shining table-lands
To which our God Himself is moon and sun.
-Tennyson.

to Iowa. There may be cases where
1t will pay to change, but they are not
plenty. The man who sticks by his
dairy while all of the hot.heads are
rushing into beef cattle will be in the
Swim" when beef cattle come down
and dairy stock and products get
scarce, as is sure to be the case as re-.
suit of the rush to get into beef cattle
breeding.-Farmers Tribune.
Manchester Democrat. [volume] (Manchester, Iowa) 1875-1930, 1900-04-11
Stick to Your Dairy Stock.

Is the present rush from dairy to
beef cattle justiflable? 1t has been
claimed by some that there is class Of
cattle which will produce both milk
and beef proitably. With herd of
such cattle, If such exists, the question
of changing from dairy or milk pro-
duction to beef production or the re-
verse, is not attended with much diff.
Guilty or inconvenience. I presume 1t
is safe to say that if change is desired
in the out put of the farm in the great
majority of cases 1t will be necessary to
change the stock on the farm. And it
is such we wish to say word about.
If a man has dairy herd and he
wishes to change to beef production to
meet the demand for beef at high
prices he may do so in two ways. He
may sell his dairy and buy beef COWS,
or he may buy bull of the beef type.
When the farmer sells his dairy cows
and buys beef COWS he has made the
change quick and is ready to take ad-
vantage of the high price of beef within
a year or two, because then he has beef
cattle to sell. But if he sells he Is put
ting on the market dairy COWS of which
there is an excess, hence low price, then
to buy beef cattle there is a demand for
them and the price is up because beef
is up In this change there is chance
for loss and very evident likelihood
that the money will not bring as large
returns as 1t did when invested in the
dairy herd. To change by breeding
the dairy herd to bull of the beef type
would mean long wait and inferior
beef until the herd had assumed the
beef type by its breeding in that direc-
tion. 1t is we'll recognized that steers
showing the dairy form will not bring
the money that the more beefy form
will bring.
Will the price of beef continue high?
Many have proplesied that it will, but
at best the prophesy might not be full
filled. However, beef will probably
continue high so long as there are so
many farmers clamoring for the beef
breeds. The demand is great and
prices will likely remain up till farm
ers are stocked, then that element of
the demand is Withdrawn and If the
prices remain up there must be an in.
creased demand for ''butcher STUFF
which is unlikely. During the past
year the price of dairy products has
risen very materially and the man who
has held to his dairy COWS is now 70.
ceiving compensation liberally for
his stick.to-itiveness. Indiana has at
Its very door Cincinnati, Chicago, St.
Louis and Cleveland as markets for
our dairy products with abundant
shipping facilities. We have many
towns for local markets within the
state with Indianapolis, large market
at short distance from the majority
of Indiana's farmers.
Educated brains can produce good
marketable quality of butter and
cheese In short time while to pro
duce an equal or equivalent quality OF
steers for beef require great deal Of
time and Q much longer wait for re-
turns. Hence we conclude that the
present rush from dairy to beef cattle
is not justifable. G.P N,
