MY GRANDMOTHER's TURKAY.TAIL FAN.

It owned not a color that vanity
dons
Or slender wits choose for display
It's beautiful tint was a delicate
bronze,
A brown softly blended with gray.
From her waist TO her chin, spread
ing nut without break,
Twas built on a generous plan;
The PRIDE of the forest was slaugh
tered to make
Ny grandmother's turkey-tail fan.
For common occasions it never was
meant;
In a chest between two silken
cloths
Twas kept safely hidden with care
full intent
In CamphOr to keep out the moths.
Twas famed far and wide through
the whole country side,
From BeeIsheba cen unto Dan;
And often at meeting with envy
twas eyed,
My grandmother's turkey tail fan.
Camp meetings, indeed, were it's
chiefest delight;
Like d crook unto sheep gone
astray
1t beckoned baoksliders to reseek the
Iiglt,
1t always beat time when the choir
went wrong,
In psalm, DIV leading the van.
Old Hundred, l know, was it's
favurIte 8 ng-
My granGmOther's turkey tail fan.
A fig for the fans that are made
nowadays,
Suited only TO frivolous mirth
A different thing was the fan that 1
praise,
Yet it soorned not the good things
of earth.
At bees and at cuttings twas aye to
be seen;
The hum of the gossip began
When in as the doorway had entered
serene
My grandmother g turkey, tail fan.
Tradition relates of it wonderful
tales.
It's handle of leather was buff,
Though shorn of it's glory, cen now
1t exhales
An odor of hymn book and snuff.
It's primeval grace, if you like, you
Twas limned for the future to
scan,
Just under a smiling gold specialized
face,
My grnndmother's turkey-tail fan.

o GOD, OUR HELP IN AGES PAST.

o God, our help in ages past,
Our hope for years TO come,
Our shelter from the stormy blast,
And our eternal home,-
Beneath the shadow of thy throne
Thy saints have dwelt secure;
Sufficient is thine arm alone,
And our defense is sure.
Before the hills in order stood,
Or earth received her frame,
From everlasting thou art God,
To endless years the same.
o God, our help in ages past,
Our hope for years 80 oume,
Be thou our guard while troubles
last,
And eternal hOmel

Terms In Fnlconry.

When under year old the hawk is
called red hawk, owing to its
plumage before it's first mott being
reddish. After its mott it is termed
a haggard. The female peregrine is a
falcon, while the male is a tiercel The.
various parts Of hawk have their
peculiar names. The legs from the
thigh to the foot are the arms; the
claws, the pounces; the wings, sails;
the crop is the gorge; the upper bill.
the beals; the lower, the clap and the
yellow portion between the beak and
the eyes is the cere When hawk
seizes its prey, it is called binding,
and the game or bird flown at is the
quarry.
The making Of hawk tame and gen.
tie is termed reclaiming. Hawks when
in trimming have couple of bells fas.
tened round the legs by two narrow
leather thongs, called jesses. This is
to discover them more easily from
their wild brethren while flying and
gives notice that they are trained birds.
This has saved many a hawks life
from the gamekeeper's gun. "A leather
thong, called a leash, is attached to
the jesses when the falconer takes the
hawk on his fist, in the field, and the
same leash is used to tie the bird on
the screen or block in the hawkhouse.
Always when the hawks are carried
into the field for sport they are hood
ed to prevent them from fidgeting
about. These hoods are gaudy little
helmets coming down over the eyes
and fastening with a strip Of leather
at thet back Of the head. Usually they
are colored and decorated with a
feather in the crown. Cassell's Maya

Township trustees throughout the
state gathered at Indianapolis Tues
day to discuss legislation that will
affect their office A circular letter was
recently sent to every trustee in the
state asking him to come for that pur.
pose The meeting began at the
Oneida hotel. There was fair attend.
snce
The trustees have q number OF mat
ters IN which they are deeply interested.
The proposition of a number Of repub.
lican Legislators to take from them the
power of electing county school superin-
tendents has provoked a general pro-
test.
The situation just now is somewhat
peculiar. Although the democratic ns-
tional and state tickets were oyerwhelm.
ingly defeated at the last election. the
democrats succeeded in electing q large
majority of the trustees. The propost.
tion to change the statutes so that the
county uperintendents should be
named at general elections was made
at the session Of the Legislature two
years ago, but at that time the repub-
llcsns had majority OF the trustees
and the bill was not urged. Now that
the democrats can elect most OF the
uperintendents IL is probable that the
bill will go through, as q number OF re-
publicans are determined that it shall.
and they have the majority In both
branches to back them up. This 10
likely to become party measure, as
the democrats are expected to oppose
1t to man. This matter received the
attention of the trustees.
Another matter in which the trustees
are interested is in having salaries
graded. In many townships, where
there is large population, the work is
much heavier than 10 smaller town
ships, yet the trustees in the latter get
as much pay. An effort will be made
to have new basis established. The
trustees say that the proposed fee and
salary hills do not affect them, so they
will have recommendation To make
| for themselves.
The trustees are also interested in g
proposition with reference to changing
the gravel road laws, so that they will
come under their jurisdiction. A large
number of bills providing for the con-
troll and repair of gravel roads, 1t is
understood, have been framed, but
some of the trustees are of the opinion
that the management of the roads
should be placed with them, and not
with county officials. Under this ar
rsngement, they believe that the super
vision of the repairs snd other work
would be more direct, and that, there
fore, the roads could be kept in better
condition.

having settled east of this city when
but young man, where he had resided
