one has been expecting a reaction in
the iron trade. yet the great steel cor
poration is still rushed with orders
and has plenty of business in sight for
months to come in spite of increased
competition: the development of the
country and new uses for iron setting
aside all calculations based upon for
mer standa rds.
The same is true in many other
lines of industry. old esta blishments
and new ones being fully employed,
with no immediate prospect of over
supply. In the agricultural field SIM
liar conditions prevail. Another crop
failure like that of 1901 would have
been disastrous. Instead, we have
been favored with large crops and
good prices. so that the, farming
classes are unusually well-to-do. "
Throughout the west there is great
activity and astonishing development.
This is demonstrated by the longest
ed condition of traffic on all the prin-
cipal railroads, as well as by the fact
that the freight moved on the great
lakes in 1902 was about - per cent
greater than in the previous year.
Just how soon the progressive
movement will exhaust itself cannot
be foretold. @

OLD WI IS GONE.

Old WI has gone; that good old scout
We ne'er to see him more;
He used to wear an outside shirt
All buttoned down before.
But when he took his walks abroad.
Or feStal board he graced,
He wore hand-embroidered skirt:
No belt was round his waist.
And underneath that gorgeous skirt
Was hid a spacious tank:
Old WI would always use il when
The tizzy grape he drank.
If anyone'S short waistband stretched
And he let out a link,
And wink Chinese wink.
Or if Il man pulled down his vest
When he was getting full,
Old Wa would smile because he had
No useless vest to pull.
When others under tables fell
And slept serenely there,
Old Wu'd be holding up his glass,
And holding down his chair
All. WI could go from soup to nuts
And never miss bet.
If others could have stayed with him
Old Wu'd be drinking yet.

which most people are more or less
familiar. but mentioned the bible of
which most of MS know so little. they
also mentioned the use of cigarettes
so common about public schools. The
Iowa teachers passed resolutions in
dorsing the introduction of the bible
into the schools. and separating the
school boy and the cigarette.
There is nothing teachers can do
toward advancing education in the
schools which will help to educate
the school boy more than to teach
them to think well of themselves. to
smoke cigarettes less, and use their
school books more. The effect of the
cigarette upon the youthful mind
is known TO be disastrous. The
effect of the precepts of the bible,
to say nothing of its essential. his
torical influences upon the youthful
mind. has always been beneficial if
taught and applied.
Good manners and clean habits
are lessons that should not be eIimi-
mated from the public schools.
