A Case of Necessity.

 Upon the gory football ground Tine battle Fages sore.
 Knee-deep in blood
 And guggly mud The heroes struggle OCT. And OCT to drive each other down Liks fence pests in the Ooze, The while upon each noble form The sticky mortar glues. There'n be more heroes made to-day, There1l be some heroes lost Beneath the mud-bUt they must win. Whatever be the cost. There'u be some wild songs sung tonight There'n be some t0asts go down Will throw a scare into the soul Of San Francisco town. There'n be some fair ones who will go With garden rake to find The remanants of anatomy Some heroes have resigned. They'n gather up those noble teeth And locks of hair and ears, And bear them joyOusly away To keep as souvenirs.
 Then ho. for blood
 And guggly mud And pain and sweat and tears;
 Suffer and grin!
 We've got to win For the girls need souvenirs!

Our little brown brothers and sisters like tobacco. The native child acquires the tobacco habit as soon as it is able to walk In the northern provinces, es- recially, it Is no uncommon sight to see a child five or six years old puffing viz crously at a big cigar. The women smoke fully as much as the men, and commonly smoke cigars where the men use cigarettes. Tn the northern parts of Luzon immense cigars, often a cou- pie of feet long and as thick as the wrist, are used. Such cigar is sus- pended from rafter of the house by a string, and smoked during the day by all the members of the family as de- sired.

The president and members of the cabinet the other day enjoyed the nov city of tasting dates grown in the Unit ed States. They were obtained from palms brought from the Desert of Sa- hara three years ago and planted in Arizona. The experiment has proved a success, and the fruit, which is the first to be sent to the agricultural de- partment, was so desirable that Secre- tary Wilson took a sample with him when he went to the White House to attend the cabinet meeting. The pres ident was pleased with the work of the department and expressed the hope that date growing would eventually be- come an important American industry.
 The Barbadoes Agricultural Reporter contains the text of a petition to the governor praying that the destruction of mongooses may be authorized in the island. A quarter of a century ago the sugar industry Of the island suHereu much from the depredations of rats, and about 1878 mongooses were intro duced for the purpose of thinning their numbers. They discharged their task with conspicuous success, but at the same time they cleared off much of the indigenous faunua. The destruction of the lizards has led to large increase in the number of mothborer caterpil- lars, which perforate the sugar canes and thus give entrance to the spores of noxious fungus. These cause serious loss, which, it is hoped, may be in some degree mitigated by the destruction of the mongooses.

The Rou1nanian petroleum field is al- most exhausted and that of Galicia is falling off. This leaves Germany open to American and Russian companies. It is stated to be in the interest of Ger many to see that there is no coalition between these two, which can be pre- vented only by increasing the demand for the Russian product. The German buyer, however, is said to look upon the Russian oil with disfavor.

A question that confronts the pub

donations of books and money with
which to purchase them will have to
be asked in order to get start.

The building is to cost $50, 600 of
the s35, 900 given by Mr.. Andrew Car

in furnishing it and identifying the

will make the promised appropriation
of $4,000 this year, which will give
the board the necessary funds to run
the library from the time it is opened
until the next appropriation, and pur.
chase books. The intention is to use
all over the necessary running expenses
for books, and it is thought that 81,
500 year will be ample for running
it, leaving about $500 year to spend
for books.
Work on the building has been slow
for the past several months on account
of the bad weather and the inability
to get stone, but the outlook is for bet
ter progress this spring.
