At the Wane of the Year

Cold winds from the north sweep past,
And moan through the desolate pines,
As the autumn day declines
While the sky is overcast;
And along the roadside drear
The aster and goldenrod-
Poor flowers OF a waning year
On their 1.-THE stalks sway and nod
From the woods, so lately bright
In the warm September day.
The leaves now futter away,
And birds to the south take fight.
How darkly on every hand
The gathering storm-clouds trown,
As drearily over the land
The gloom of night comes down.

WILL WE HAVE CASE

Fred Bail, Of Clinton. Ill.,, has been
here this week, looking up gas pros
poets. He represents wealthy CONF
pany, and is DESTROYS Of securing a
sufficient number Of leases to warrant
the company in investing the money to
prospect for gas. If the leases can be
secured, the company will put down a
number Of wells.
Mr.. Ball met with the city council,
Tuesday evening, and submitted his
plans to the officials. He asks for no
franchise he only wants the leases
and says his company is willing to risk
a few thousand dollars to test this part
Of the country.
1t certainly behooves the people OF
Garrett and vicinity to take some ac-
ton in this matter, We all firmly be-
lieve that there is gas or oil, or BOTH
in this locality-surface indications
show it, and the state geologist, who
has made a careful investigation, says
they are here, or near Why not en-

wby Hogs Root.

A writer on swine says: 1t Is the
hogs nature to root, and nature has
provided II with not only the propen-
sity. but the implements TO indulge it.
AS the wants of the animal are sup
piled without roofing. the roofing por-
ton of the pig becomes less suitable
TO the purpose, as all the improved
breeds are shortening ZIP in the nose
and snout
Hogs root for worms and tubers or
grass roots These not only aid as a
ration of maintenance. but as regu.
Iator and conditioner of the system.
The desire to root ar the present time
is a symptom usually that the stomach
demands something that it is not re-
ceivin1.
Hogs that are fed on dry corn OF
grain feed develop this desire for root
ing. as the hog endeavors TO secure
that which will relieve il. To prevent
this condition we would feed plenty OF
charcoal or wood ashes, also a little
oilmeal, to get them into proper eondi-
10n.
An animal that forms the habit OF
roofing VIII root regardless Of de
mands. 1t is as hard to break 1t Of the
habit as Is the chewing of tobacco IL
the human race, and the only proven
tive is some system of ringing to pre-
vent the use of the snout.-New York

As q rule the secrets of the vatican

Now and again. however. something of

out. though not through the Cardinals.
There was. for example. the strange
case of Pope Piux IN, pretty well
known a generation ago. but now al
most forgotten. In his younger days.
when he was Count Mastai Ferrati and

with Miss Foster. daughter OF the
