Sfinging Verse.

Kipling's Famous Poem satirized In
Singing Verse.
Since Rudyard Kipling published
sThe Islanders there have been many
parodies, but no metrical answers
worthy Of the name until the following
appeared In the London Star:
Fenced By our patient fathers, ringed by
So our peaceful seas, 8
Long did we Yake in quiet and long lie
down st ease, gss
Till you said of strife, What is it?'' Of
the sword, LET it flash again!''
Till you made god Of wanton war and
an idol OF armed men.
We stopped our ears to the warning; we
would neither look nor heed;
We set our hate above our laws and our
lust above our need.
Because Of our witless rancor and our
pitiless pride Of race
We grudged our brothers freedom and
our friends resting place.
You clustered and Dragged and beloved,
and we paid when you babe us pay. \
But where are the fifty thousand men that
you twanged to Table bay?
For soon were the judgments loosened,
soon was our shame revealed,
At the hands Of little people, few but
apt in the field
Though now they are only a remnant (and
Miner has started his ''Star'o,
You ask for more Of our millions and
more of our flesh for war.
Sons you would tear from their mothers,
lads from their lasses sweet
And brush them under the wheels Of war
like the dust and dirt of the street.
And what did you look they should COM
pass? Glory that fades like a breath
Glory to Gold in the highest at the price
of brothers death?
So! And we asked SIS It glory to hollow
the veldt with graves
And to build gilded empire on the backs
of beaten slaves?
But you said, 'The war is Overt" But you
said, 1.-THE end is GOMEZ
And we swallowed the hocus Of Hatfield,
we swallowed lie Of Brun.
Then we returned to our vomit, then we
contented our souls
With the kipling fools at the pothouse and
the rudyard OATS at the polls.
Given to strong delusion, wholly believing
lie,
We saw that the war was not over, and
we let the months go by, ~.

MORGAN's BENEvOLENCE.

Kind Act For Which the Financier
Was Blessed by Hospital Patients.
Here is a story which Prince Henry
may not have heard about, although
the luncheon given to him at Sherry's,
where he met the captains Of indus
try" is more or less connected with 1t,
SAYS the New York Commercial Ad
vertiser: r+~- D"--''- FL
A woman had met with an accident
and had been sent to the New York
Polytechnic hospital, in East Thirty
fourth street. This hospital has not
been favored with as many gifts as
others have been, and the patient re-
ferred to found it lacking in some Of
the little essentials which make sick
women comfortable, although nothing
could exceed the devotion of the med
ical staff. ,-> A e. ." -
The new patient, filed with graft
tude for the attention she received
there, resolved to see what she could
do to benefit the hospital. She had
never seen j. Pierpont Morgan, but
had heard that he was a benevolent
man. So she wrote to him and told
him of the needs of the hospital. Days
passed, but there was no reply to her
letter, and it seemed as if it might
have been ignored by the busy finan-
cier. The woman recovered and re-
turned home. It was not long after
that she again became patient in the
same hospital. This was about the
time of Prince Henry's arrival.
The day after the Sherry luncheon to
the captains Of industry an express
wagon delivered at the hospital gates
two porcelain bathtubs filed with the
flowers which had decorated the tables
and the room at Sherry's on the day
the prince Gined there. The card Of J.
Pierpont Morgan accompanied the gift.
This little incident made one woman
at least realize that the great financier
was not absorbed in Wall street affairs
to the exclusion Of all else, and it filed
the hospital with fragrance, and beau
ty, for which the inmates blessed him.
One who was there at the time says:
cit may be pleasant for Mr.. Morgan
to know that many lips murmured
blessings in connection with his name,
and more than one sick woman prayed
that he might be spared for many a
long year to do acts Of kindness like
this" .u

MADE GOOD BY DRAINAGE.
Large Area of Land in Indiana Has
Been Reclaimed 49,. ~..

La Porte, Ind, March 14.-Deeds
have been recorded here showing a
transfer of 1000 acres of Kankakee
marsh land in La Porte county by
James Long of La Porte to R. E. Napp
and G. M. Keller of Pontiac, Ills.
The purchasers are members Of the
Illinois syndicate which, during the
past few years, has invested nearly
100000 in La Porte county land,
and is negotiating for the purchase Of
several thousand additional acres. All
Of this land was practically worthless
decade ago, but by construction of
drainage canals it has become exceed

New Use For Cinders.

George r. Averill, living at Arverne,
N. Y, says that he has discovered a
means Of using the waste coal ash Gin
ders that will make the hitherto use
less material of great commercial val
ne. The use which Mr.. Averill has
found for these coal ashes is in a new
kind of fireproof mortar, 80 per cent of
which is made up of coal ashes and the
rest double hydraulic cement, says the
Chicago Chronicle. Mr.. Averill has had
tests made under the supervision Of the
department of buildings in Manhattan,
which show that the insulating proper
ties of a block constructed according
to Mr.. Averill's specifications are very
great.

Washington, March 14.-The amend,

side and Nicaragua and Costa Rica
on the other, outlining treaties to gov
@rn the Construction of a Nicaraguan
canal have been substantially agreed
upon. The new protocols yet require

from any official source as yet upon
what points the new protocols differ
from those presented to the senate

LONGING FOR A LOVED ONE.

The gathering clouds, gold-rlmmed by
setting sum-
Now from the hilltop comes the night
birds cry;
All nature speaks: Another day is
done"
While soft the evening breezes bear
The sigh of one I love and long to
see
Soft pillowed on my couch, sweet slumber
EClds,
In calm repose my head upon her
breast;
With gentle touch my eyelids she enfolds
And SootheS my wearied spirit into rest;
And in the happy dreams that come
clasp the one love and long to see.
The sun Is 1p-the lark is on the wing
The Iinnet carols forth her tuneful lay;
The bird choirs now in one grand chorus
Their grateful praises to the new born
day.
And mingled with their music comes
to me
The voice of one I love and long to
The flowers low the rising sun to greet
Across the green sWard lengthy shad-
oWs lie;
While blossoming nature breathes her per-
fume sweet,
And watts it on the breeZes to the sky;
Anon each sparkling dewdrop brings
to me
A tear of one love and long to see

Learning by Experience.

We see the present land boom is re-
sulting in a few more ventures in
bonanza farming. Particularly is this
true of some parts of the Canada
Northwest, where one firm, it is re-
ported, has bought 10000 acres at a
cost of 100000. The history of these
new ventures will doubtless be very
much like this history of those pre-
ceding them-depleted soil-mustard
and other weeds beyond hope of con-
troll, and finally loss enough to COM
pei breaking them up into small farms.
There is something peculiar about
land, to make the most out of it for
ones self, family or country, the home
must be there and too many acres
are death to homes. "He that by the
plow would thrive, himself must
either hold or drive" is still true. But,
as a rule, Northwest farms are de-
creasing in size and increasing in
numbers,

A Good Sign.

One of the most auspicious signs
of progress in this new century is the
marked increase of interest in purely
agricultural education. Farmers sons,
in largely increased numbers, are
enrolled as students in the agricultur-
al course, and are being educated for
the active pursuit of farming and
stock raising. They are being prepar-
ed to enter upon farming as a pro-
fession, and their education is for the
farm and not from the farm. There
has been a steady gain in the agricul-
tural course in the colleges, as COM
pared with the general collegiate
course. This is true especially at the
Western agricultural colleges. And the
daughters of farmers are crowding the
ranks of students in the science of
domestic economy Surely the better
day in education has daWned.

NEGRO SLASHES
MAN AND WIFE
Victim of Cocaine Kills Terre Haute
Man and Dangerously Wounds
the Woman.

TERRE HAUTE, Ind, Sept. s.
Thomas Burke lies dead at his home
here with his head almost severed
from his body, while his wife is in a
dangerous condition from either knife
or razor wounds inflicted by Matthew
Alexander, a colored man, who had
been employed around the house for
the past five years.
Alexander entered the room in which
Mrs. Burke was sleeping with her
thirteen-year-old daughter at mid
night, while her husband lay asleep on
couch on the other side of the room.
Mrs. Burke was awakened by feeling
the keen edge of a sharp instrument
drawn across herr cheek, and her
screams aroused her husband.
Burke rushed to sthe rescue of his
wife, but he was only partially awake
when slashed across the neck and face
by the negro. When Burke fell dying
upon the floor, the9e rushed out
a side door, but attempted to re-enter
the room after the door was bolted by
Mrs. Burke. Burkei died almost in
stantly. His wife held his head, Sob
bing and moaning as the blood dropped
from her face on that of her husband.
No cause is known for the tragedy
as Alexander had been well treated
and trusted by the family. He is said
to have become slave of cocaine. The
negro has not been captured.

THE WHISTLE.

A willow grew by ripping river,
Lifting its head in the Sun-drenched air;
1t saw its leaves in the water culver,
And knew it's image was passing fair.
It spread its arms in petition anguished,
Feeling the call of a strange, sweet Tyre;
And answering dumbly it longed and Ian
guished,
Strove and thrilled with keen desire.
1t yearned to sing of the blue sky over,
The wondrous yielding of night to day;
or the silver stream cnd the scent Of
clover
Drifting from uplands far away.
1t yearned to sing of the Springtime ten
der,
OF the message brought by the April rain:
When the blackbird piped in its branches
Slender
1t swelled to join in the notes in vain.
Down strolled lad to the vista golden,
Heart a-chime with the happy world,
And stirred by sense of the craftship
Stopped where the tree it's green un-
furled.
He cut a twig with his jack-knife greedy,
Fashioned and trimmed it, stem and tip;
And the voice of the willow, wildwood,
reedy,
Gushed at the touch of a boyish lip.

Latitude and Land Values.

The mere fact of latitude will never
materially affect the value of farm
land. Farms located in the North
country, while unable to produce some
of the crops common to a lower lati-
tude, can still produce many things
which such lower ATTITUDES cannot pro-
duCe at all. For instance, while North
ern Minnesota, North Dakota and
Northern Wisconsin cannot be called
countries and may be short on fruits,
they can still produce the best grasse,
wheat, oats, barley, flax and roots of
any part of the country. Then the
longer days of summer in those sec
tions do much to offset the more pro-
tracted season of winter. 1t is more
the questions of soil fertility, rainfall
and markets which determine land
values than that of latitude. Improved
land has always been worth more in
Vermont than in Kentucky and Arkan
sis, and would be still were it not for
the simple fact of soil impoverishment
in the East
