Where we but pose as chumps,
Where rules employed are not the same
As Withstand hearts are trumps
'Tis not required that all be grave,
For talk and laughter ring;

But also takes king.
And here, amid the pastcboards' pranks
And various escapades,
The knave Of diamonds oft outranks
The honest king OF spades.

In the Smoking Car,

There's the big meerschaum, with the little man
Half hidden behind its bowl,
Who puifs away as hard as he can,
As it were to save his soul,
And he fondles the thing, and he strokes it down
With sort Of rapturous pride
As a bridegroom lovingly smoothes the brown
Soft strands on the brow of his bride.
Across the aisle is the rank, old clay
In the mouth OF man" who smokes away
With grim, pugnacious air,
And he adds to the filth on the floor beneath
Without removing the stem from his teeth
He hasn't the time to spare
There's the red faced man with the dark Key wes
Who reads as he speeds to town,
Letting the ashes fall on his vest
And dribble from there on down.
He's forcing the gray smoke out Of his nose
To mingle with wreaths from pipes,
And the clouds he raises who pufs and blows
Ger his resurreeted snipes.
By the door is the man with the sickly cob;
All. hear it gurgle and sigh and sob,
And, alas, how it frets and chokesl
1t wheezes and sputters and gasps for breath;
Deep down in its throat is the rattle of death,
But little he cares who smokes.
The good cigar and the rank cigar
Under common conditions met
And from end to end of the reekng car
Foul fumes Of the cigarette.
With contentment pictured on every face
They breathe foul fumes in the Glthy place,
Busily putting away,
And II they were forced to congregate there,
As pigs in pen, to breathe such air,
The devil would be to payl

Oh, the earth is full OF SHINING
And of trouble and OF woe,
But the devil makes inning
Every time you say it's SO,
And the way to set him scowling
And to put him back pace
Is to stop this stupid growing
And to look things in the face.
If you glance at history's pages
In all lands and known,
You will find the vanished ages
Far more wicked than our own.
AS you scan each word and letter
You will realize it more
That the world today is better
Than it ever was before.
There is much that needs amending
In the present time, no doubt;
There is right that needs defending,
There is wrong needs crushing out,
And we hear the groans and curses
OF the poor who starye and die
While the men with swollen purses
In the place Of hearts go by.
But in spite OF all the trouble
That obscures the sun today,
just remember 1t was double
In the ages passed away,
And these wrongs shall all be righted,
Good shall dominate the land,
For the darkness now is lighted
By the torch in sciences hand.
Forth from little notes in chaos
We have come to what we are,
And no evil force can stay US,
We shall mount from star to star;
We shall break away each fetter
That has bound us heretofore,
And the world today is better
Than 1t ever was before.

Tor geese will gather most of their
feed from the range. The care re-
quired is small when compared with
the returns. The simplest kind of
houses are used for shelter.
The feathers are an important source
of revenue and find ready sale. A
goose will average about one pound of
feathers a year. Geese are long-liYed
birds, and Is to 20 years of age is not
uncommon. Young geese are not CON
sidered good breeders, but are the only
kind wanted in market. White Emb-
den geese, the kind shown in the illus
tration, are considered very practical
birds for farmers. They are snow
white and of large size, the standard
weight of an adult gander being 20
pounds and goose 10 pounds. They are
not as prolific as some other breeds, 20
eggs in a season being good average.
The eggs are large and white, and have
a thick, rough shell. They have large
heads, medium-sized bill and long
neck carried upright. The breast is
round and full, and the body large,
square and very deep, nearly touching
the ground. The eyes are bright blue,
and the bills flesh color, and the shanks,
toes and webs a deep orange.-Farm

4 Destructive Charre.

One of the most terrible conflicts of
the civil war occurred near Centraia.
Boone county, Mo-. in the afternoon of
Tuesday, September 81, 1864. Nearly
200 federal soldiers, commanded by
Maj. A. V. E. Johnson, of the Thirty
ninth Missouri infantry, riding out aft
er guerrillas, met there Capts. Bill An
derson and George Todd, with 225 men.
Scarcely a dozen of the federal soldiers
escaped with their lives, while of the
guerrillas two only were killed and one
mortalIy wounded. There is nowhere
in the history of the world record of a
charge more destructive than that
made on the fair September afternoon.
Every man in the federal line of battle
persisted, and only half a score of those
left to hold the horses got away.-St.

mittees. The latter instruct the coun-
ty committees within their jurisdiction
to complete the desired count within
given time. The county committees di-
vide the work among the ward anc
township organiza tions, and the latter
parcel it out to their precinct captains.
In this manner the national committee
is placed in possession of facts of vast
Importance. If it is found that a GER
tain state is overwhelmingly on one
side or the other, systematic efforts to
carry it are dropped by the minority
party. If a state is reported as being
nearly evenly divided, money and men
are poured into it by both parties. To
make a successful house-to-hou can
vass requires judgment and nerve, and
the precinct captains and county COM
mitteemen who come closest to a cor
rect report are usually marked for POI
itical Preferment. Just prior to the
election a second canvass is made, and
upon this are based. the predictions
made by the official representations OF
the two parties. The preliminary can
vass already is under way in all parts of
the United States, and as soon as the

AS a creator of slang the American
has no equal. Our forefathers spoke
with respect and admiration of ''cam-
paign orators;" we of this generation
call them ''spellbinders," and are in
clined to look upon their forensic eff
forts with amusement rather than rev
erence. Yet, the spellbinder has his
uses. He tickles the vanity of his hear
ers and occasionally drops a pearl of
wisdom. At the national headquarters
it was stated that by the first of Oc-
tober $4,000 individuals gifted with
more or less oratorical talent would be
in the field, appealing to the intelli-
gence and patriotism of the American
people. There will be genuine Yankee
spelEbinders, German spouters, Irish
orators, Scandinavian persuaders and
takers in languages whose very exist
ence is unknown in ordinary circles.

GRANTS GENEROSITY.
Shares His Personal Supply of Cur
rency with Captured
Confederate.
follows:

Representative Tespasian Warner
spoke from personal acquaintance with
his subject when he made one of the
addresses accepting the Grant statue
paced in the capitol recently, says the
ST. Louis Globe-Democrat. Warner
carried a musket in the Twentieth Illi-
nois at the time Grant was a captain,
stationed at Springfield and engaged in
mobilizing the Illinois volunteers. He
was a boy of 10 at that time. Grant
commanded the Twenty-first Illinois.
He took fancy to the boy subaItern
and showed him many personal kind
nesses. It was somewhat due to
Grants recognition of young Warmers
capabilities that the private soldier OBJ
tanned his first commission. The trib-
ute which Mr.. Warner made to the
great commanders memory came
straight from the heart. It contained
this story illustrative of Grants char
acter: HE fought battles not for the
purpose of killing men, but for the pur-
pose of saving his country, and when a
battle was over he wished to take his
enemies to his heart and make them his
and his country's friends. I do Lot
believe he ever had an unkiad feeling
for any man, living or dead. whether
he wore the blue or the gray, and do
believe his great heart went out to all.
When Gen. Buckner, at Fort Donelson,
asked that commissioners might be Sp-
pointed TO consider the question OF
capituIa tion, Gen. Grant answered that
such commissioners were unnecessary,
adding that he purposed to move i'm
mediate1y upon their works. That was
Grant, the general. Gen. Buckner sur
rendered Internationally, and that
night, after taps Gen. Grant found
and entered Gen. Buckner's tent, and,
taking out his pocketbook, said: Gen.

ALL THE SAME TO HIM.
Confederate Private Was No Longer
Particular with Whom
He Ate.

A crowd of old confederates were
swapping war stories when one of them
told the following to a Louisville Cour-
ier-Journal man:
One of the most. striking figures in
the armies of the west was Gen. John
Magruder, c. S. A. He was what might
be called 'Murat' of man, for in the
hardest times Prince john could al
ways show a natty uniform, and he
always went into battle, the soldiers
said, with enough fuss and feathers to
have marched down a dozen men. 1t
was evidently his determination to die
not only with his boots on, but with all
his good clothes as well. Added to his
love of dress was a fondness for good
eating that led him to every promising
home near a camping ground.
ION one occasion, with his staff, he
rode up TO handsome, old-fashioned
home in Tennessee, and with his most
courtly bow and gallant manner hint
ed that food would not be unacceptable
to famished soldiers. The lady of the
mansion bade him enter and hastily
sent servants running hither and
thither to provide a meal for such
handsome and gallant soldiers.
