Since Willie goes to school the days
Are always full of peace,
And in a hundred little ways
The cares of life decrease;
The halls are Uttered up no more
with blocks and tops and trapsi
No marbles lie upon the floor,
But are we happier than before?-
All, well, perhaps-perhaps!
Since Willie goes to school the cat
Lies doing in her nook;
There are no startling screeches tina
Make all the neighbors look;

But l have found a hair today,
Deep-rooted, g~listening and gray,
That hid itself before.

Clover.

From Farmers Review: The time

Much will be sown as its virtue in re-
storing fertility to soil is being recog-
nized more and more. Three crops of
clover will rejuvenate a very poor
field. l speak of my own practice. l

between the two harrowings which |
have given in sowing to Csts. Glover
seed is somewhat tender. Hence if
sown before the soil is partially
warmed a portion of the seed perishes
and the stand is poor. | SOW nearly a
peck to two acres. To scatter thinly
is a bad mistake, especially if the field
is infested with weeds. | bought a 40
acres foul with cockleburs. 1t was
also miserably poor. | at once sowed
1t to medium red clover. There was a
good stand. After the oats were off the
clover presently covered the ground
like a dense mat. The burs got nc
chance to develop. The next sprine
the clover was promptly on hand and
gave the burs no opportunity. The re.
suit was that at the end of three years
the burs were smothered to death
and in the meantime had Shree goo6
crops of clover and the land was re-
newed. The next veal it was planted
to corn and much of it yielded 10 Esh-
els to the acre, and my tenant declared
there was not a double handful of burs
in the entire field.

Today after four years ofMcKin-
leyism the monopolists of money
and of industry are vastly stronger
than they were in 'o3 or in 'o6. In
'e6 individual employers coerced
their workmen by declaring that
they would shut down their plants
if Bryan were elected. Today one
man sitting in a gorgeous Office on
Broad or Wall streets, New York,
can send like notice to the thou
sands of the employees of twenty or
forty formerly independent factories

The Democratic Senatorial Con
ventiou, which met at Mancos las,
Monday and nominated G. V. Copp,
passed the following ringing resolu.
tions:
Frixt-We have confidence in the
wisdom and craftsmanship OF Viii
liam Jennings Bryan and hereby
pledge our support to the principles
for which our candidate for presi-
dent and vice-president are now con-
tending.
Second-We commend the prin-
ciples of the platform of the Demo
cratic party as adopted at Kansas
City and reiterated at Denver as
embodying the principles Of the new
Democracy for which we contend.
Third-We are proud ofthe posi-
ton taken by Hon. Jno. J. Harris,
ont state senator, on all public ques-
tions.
Fourth-we pledge the nominee
of this convention to secure the de-
feat of E. o. wolcott for United
States senator, who has proven him
self traitor to the interests of the
people and the cause OF bimetallism
and now pledge Our nominee to the
election of United States senator
from this state who has the interest
OF the masses and not of the corpo-
rations and trusts at heart.
Fifth-we also pledge our nomi-
nee to work for and support any
legislative measure that will have
for its-object the modification OF the
present excessive freight and pas
senger rates now extorted from the
people Of the state, more particular
ly the present railroad tariff sheet
now enforced in southwestern Col
orado.
Sixth-Unfortunately the people
Of western Colorado receive no ben
efts whatever in the way of appro-
priations for public institutions. but
contribute their portion Of taxes for
maintenance of such institutions,
hundreds Of miles from US. Our
population now justifes US in de-
manding our proportion of state
funds for founding and maintaining
institutions Of flearning and wepledge
the support Of Our candidate to Sc
curing some of these benefits for
this section Of the state.
Seventh-we heartily commend
the actions Of Honorable Henry NJ.
Teller in his faithful adherence to
the interests of Colorado in the sen.
ate of the United States. We ex.
tend to him our heartfelt thanks
and pray that he may be spared to
US for many years to come SO that
he may live to see the principles Of
bimetallism reinstated as law o.
the country.

Natural Reservoirs.

Congress has for years been ap-
propriating money for storage res
ervoirs in the West. This may
seem like news to many, but it is
fact with which they are in reality
familiar. Long ago the Legislative
branch of the Government recog-
nized the fact that it is the duty of
the Government to protect forests
and to reforest such districts as are
burnt over, to the end that the
water supply shall not fail. In
other words, where the Government
appropriates for the protection of
forest or the reforesting of a tract OF
land, it appropriates for the build
ing of or the care of storage reser-
voir. The forests are Natures res
ervoirs, and if it is economical and
proper for the Government to rec
ognize and care for them, why is it
not equally proper that it should
build artificial reservoirs which
would save to the country the mil
lions of dollars which now annually
sweep to the sea through the waste
and flood waters ofcountless rivers?
