to the natives at Manila. The roll car

from the government of $3,OS6, 9S9. OF

Ability Needed OIL tho Farm

Among the many stories told of
Thomas Jefferson is the following: A
man once asked Jefferson what he
should do with his son. 1t is said that
he told him if he were weak minded
and dishonest he would make q
preacher of HIM; if weak-minded but
honest, doctor; if shrewd but dishon-
est, lawyer; but if really sllrewd and
really honest, farmer. We hardly
think it probable that Thomas Jeffer-
son would have been guilty of such
slurs upon three great learned pro-
LESSONS as are implied in the advice
imputed to him, although it must be
admitted that at the time the morals
of some of the preachers and the meth
DDS of some of the doctors and lawyers
may have justified it. But it is evi.
dent from the amount of work Jeffer-
son did to improve methods of farming
and the constant study he gave to the
subject convinced him that it was q
subject requiring all the shrewdness
anyone possessed. His tribute to the
honesty Of the farmers, too, was nc
doubt inspired by the character of the
farmers he knew. No doubt it wa,
true then as now that the business OF
farming offered less inducement to
men by competition to indulge in dis
honest practices. A farmer dug his
living out Of the ground; he did not
get it out Of the earnings of other men
by their labor. The rewards of farm.
ing then, as now, came in proportion
to the intelligent cultivation of the soil
and the excellence of the crops grown.
In these days of short cuts and get.
rich-quick schemes, it is a pleasant re.
Election to the farmer that he can make
a living, even make money, and yet be
honest and truthful and preserve his
self-respect.-Journal of Agriculture.

THE PRESTIGE OF LONG SERVICE

The press of the country is very prop
erly calling attention to the immense
influence which the state of Iowa now
yields in national affairs, and it is at
tributed very largely to the states
practice of returning its congressional
representatives term after term. The
state of Washington might we'll profit
by Iowa's example Ill this respect. 1t
isn't the custom in the Hawkeye state
to elect O good man to congress and
then Immediately begin scheming to
get him out before he has time to ad-
just himself to his surroundings and
put himself in position to command at
tentioD and render efficient service to
the people. Governor Shaw, of Iowa,

also holds the Craftsmanship of an i'm
portant committee, that OH military
affairs, and Is member of the militia
committee, which is likely to be active
in the proposed reorganization of the
national guard.
"Neither Hull, Hepburn, Hender-
son, or even Allison, are remarkably
strong men. But they have acquired
by long service practical knowledge
of affairs in Washington, wide circle
of friends and recognized precedence
that no amount of brilliancy or sound
craftsmanship, if handicapped by short
service, can take the place of. Senator
Allison was elected as representative
four times before he was made senator
in 1873, since which time he has served
continuously, having been reelected
four times. Only one other senator,
Jones of Nevada, has been a senator as
many years. Senators Hoar and Nor

THE MODERN SCHOOL TEACHER

Twas Saturday night, and q teacher sat
Alone, her task pursuing;
She averaged this and she averaged that,
Of all that her class was doing.
She reckoned percentage so many boys,
Aud so many girls all counted,
And marked all the tardy absentees,
And to what all the absence amounted.
Names and residences wrote in full
Over many columns and pages;
Canadian, Teutonic, African, Celt,
And averaged all their ages.
The date of admission of every one,
And cases of flagellation,
And prepared list of graduates
For the county examination
Her weary head sank low on her book,
And her weary heart still lower;
For some of her pupils had little brains,
And she could not furnish more.
She slept she dreamed, it seemed she died,
And her spirit went to Hades;
And they met her there with question fair,
estate what the per cent of your grade isl"
Ages but slowly rolled away,
Leaving but partial traces,
And the teachers spirit walked one day
In the old familiar places.
A mound of fossilized school reports
Attracted her observation,
As high as the state house dome, and as wide
As Boston since annexation.
She came to the spot where they buried her
And the ground was we'll built over;
But laborers digging threw out skull
Once planted beneath the clover.
A disciple of Galen, wandering by,
Paused to look at the diggers,
And plucking the skull up, looked through the
eye
And saw it was lined with figures.
Just as thought" said the young n. d.
How easy it is to kill 'em!
Statistics ossifed every fold
Ofcerebrum and cerebellum"

GOV. JOHN r. ROGERS
A PERSONAL TRIBUTE

PERSONAL TRIBUTE
why droop the flags half-mast today,
Why sadness everywhere appears?
Our noblest chief is lying dead,
And Washington is bowed in tears.
He was no far-famed hero, clad
In sword and plume with mighty name;
No badge Of royalty he wore
To give him place and power and fame.
He knew no way to gain the heights
To which his grand ambition led,
Except the rugged, toilsome path
That only strong, brave men can tread.
A pure, true-hearted, loyal man,
No blare of trumpets turned his head;
His brave, true heart was filled with love;
Where duty called he fearless lead.
His whole life is a lesson grand
That all our boys should study we'll;
How long the midnight lamp he burned,
What hours he labored, none can tell.
We saw him climb the rugged cliff,
With giant will-no stay, no stop;
He started in the low1y vale
And climbed upon the mountain top.
We saw him when the false ones strove
In vain to compass his defeat;
We saw the poisoned weapons fall
Ali harmless at the conqueror's feet.
We saw him i'll the crowded throngs
When hundreds sought to grasp his hand;
We saw him crowned with victory,
Before his proud constitu ents stand.
He wore no laure1s but were pure;
The banner that lie bore was clean;
No brighter helmet ever shown
Than that upon his brow was seen.
Such men have made our Nations fame
And won for us the worlds applause;
Moulded our Union great and strong,
Our history and our schools and laws.
They snatch the blood-stained banner up,
When he who bears it stricken, falls;
And firm the wavering column stands
In answer to their cheers and calls.
We never know, we cannot know
How good aud true and brave they are,
Until they've reached the great beyond
And we can view them from afar.
The state has lost her grandest son,
The people bow around his bier;
And we in loyalty and love,
AS mourners with the rest appear.
Gods will be done we bow i'll grief
When those we love are touched by death;
Gods will be done and soon again
Our hearts are filled with hope and faith.
We're proud 10 claim him now as chief;
And proud to say he was our friend;
And hunbly to his dearest ones
Our love and sympathy extend
