the Hon. John DOugherty talks poetry.
1t is blank verse. In n speech OH rural

apoStrophiZed his district in Missouri:
There the fertility of the soil
Is not surpassed by any other
On the habitable globe:
There the orchard and the vine
Yield prodiSiously,
And the clover that carpets the earth
Vies with the sweet scented meadows
To burden the summer air
With delightful perfume.
Its vast fields OF waving corn
Reflect back the sunshine.
While the wheat locks IL in
Its bearded sheaf. Upon its hills
Great herds of live stock grow
Fat in pastures OF succulcnt blue grass.
The prosaic and Unconditional editor
of The Congressional Record caused
This delicious effuSiOn TO appear as COM

To be a "jOdarter" in the Georgia

pretty safe to conclude that this is one

Senator Hoar made reference. Senator
Bacon earnestly protested against the
repetition OF the accusation or any init

such criminals to escape just punish

Senator Hoar replied in his most ami

the amendment and not to the senator

the ruffied spirits of the latter by re-
ferring to his high personal qualities.

When you discover that you are lost
first stop and pull yourself together. Re
call the direction in which you started from
camp whether you went north, south, east
or west You can always do that if you
try.
The aext step is to fix the points of the
compass. When that is done you will be
able to 60 in the general direction you wish.
Find mature tree that stands apart
from its fellows Even if it is only slight
y separate ii will do. The bark on this
tree will be harder, drier and lighter in
color on the south side. On the north it
will be darker, and often at the roots ii
will have clump OF mold or moss.
On the south side of all evergreen trees,
gum which oozes from wounds or knot
holes will be hard and amber colored; on
the north this gum is softer, gets covered
with dust, and is of a dirty gray.
In fall. or winter, trees which show a
rough bark will have nests of insects in the
crevces on the south side.
A tree which stands in the open will have
its larger limbs and rougher bark on the
south side. You have many evergreens
in your part of the country. cone bearing
or coniferous trees-frs, spruce, cedars,
hemlocks pines, They ought to be good
compasses
Hardwood trees--the oak. the ash, elms
hickories. mesquits, ect, have moss and
mould on the north. Leaves are smaller,
tougher. lighter in color. and with darker
veins on the south; on the north they are
longer, of darker green, and with lighter
veins. Spiders build on the south sides
In the south air plants attach themselves
to the north sides. Cedars bend their
tips to the south.
Any sawed or cut stump will give you
the compass points. because the concep-
trio rings are thicker on the south side.
The heart Of the stump is thus nearer 10
the north side. All these things are the
effects of the sun.
Stones are bare on the south side, and
if they have moss at all, it will be on the
north. AT best. on the sunny side only a
thin covering of harsh, half-dry moss will
be found.
On the south side of hill the ground is
more noisy underfoot. On the north side
ferns, MOSES and late flowers grow.
II you are on marsh small bushes will
give you the lesson then leaves and limbs
show the same differences. Almost all
wild flowers turn their faces to the south.
There are many other signs, but you will
find these enough.

the thinking men there, who have the
best interests of their country at stake,

a position which gives them standing

fear the first outbreak will come from
the laboring class, and such happening

strife brings back to her once more the
devastation and misery she suffered

The present prominence OF this ques-
