SONG OF THE SOCKS AND SHOES

SONG OF THE SOCKS AND SHOES.
The little pink pigs have been roofing
around,
Roofing around all night.
Though warned them well they must
slumber sound
Till the blink of the morning light;
warned them well, as the owner 1
gowned
And snuggled them warm and tight.
But though l told them they mustn't
peep out,
The little pink pigs have been roofing
about;
l warned them one and warned them
ten,
So now they must go in the sock-and-
shoe pen,
The pen of the sock and shoe.
First the sock and then the shoe; it's
nearly eight o'clock.
Lock the little pigs IL the sock,
Shoe the little pigs in the shoe,
Den the little pigs in the pen,
The pen of the shoe and sock.
The little pink pigs, with wiggle and
dive,
All under the gown they run,
, While the owner watches me coax ana
drive,
And giggles a gale at the fun,
! And sequeals as / swoop on a dove of
five
And capture the five in one.
Oh, the little pink pigs have been
! roofing about,
I Though | warned them well they
mustn't peek out,
So | capture five and | capture ten
And drive them into the sock-and-shoe
pen,
/ The pen of the sock and shoe.
First the sock and then the shoe, and
then the shoe and sock;
Lock the little pigs in the sock,
Shoe the little pigs in the shoe,
Den the little pigs in the pen,
It's almost eight o'clocki

DOG SENSE EXTRAORDINARY.

Lloyd c Griscom, the newly ap-
pointed minister to Japan, visited Mr.
and Mrs. George Cabot Lodge recently
in Washington. Mr.. Griscom is the
son of Clement A. Griscom, the head
of the International Navigation COM
pany. Being wealthy, he has travelled
much in out-of-theway corners of the
world
He told, while in Washington, a
strange animal story that, he said, a
native of Peru had vouched for.
THE native" said Mr.. Griscom,
pointed out to me one day huge
white dog that lay before his waited
| house. He declared that this dog had
intelligence of an almost human order
He said that cnce. when it had broken
bone in its foot, he had taken it to
a surgeon, and ohe surgeon had sci
| the fractured bore and relieved it OF
| its pain.
Some months afterwards, in the
middle of the night. the surgeon wa,
awakened by great scratching at his
door and by humping, as of some
heavy body
He slipped on dressing gown ant
went down, TO find the white dog II
his garden, with brown dog beside
it that held one leg off the ground. The
surgeons deduction was that the whit,
dog had brought its companion there
for treatment. Accordingly he dressed
the leg of the injured animal, ant

DAN WYLDS.

The political campaign has open
ed in every county in the state,
and for some time there have been
all kinds of rumors as to who are
Candidates in this county for the
several offices. In this connection
1t gives US pleasure to state Off
clalIy that our old friend and fell
low-denocrat, M, Dan WyldS of
FRANKIE township, is candidate
for sheriff and collector. lis
authorized announcement appears
elsewhere In this issue. We do
not know, what to say Of him.
You know him as we'll as we do.
He has been here for nearly 81
years. Was born and raised right
here, and has never been anything
but true democrat, al honest
man and good farmer. We can
pay him no greater compliment
than this, for in those words lies
the solid Foundation of good and
capable citizenship, and it is from
the ranks of such that the people
should seek their public servants,
and bestow upon them their suf-
frage.
Dan Wyld's name was on the
list of members of the first demo-
cratic club ever organized in this
county after the war, and he has
been in the democratic ranks fight
ing for the peoples rights and the
supremacy OF the white man from
that good day to this.
His candidacy is sub ect to the
will of the democratic par,y-in
the fullest sense of the word, and
he asks the careful and unbiased
consideration of all democrats.
His sterling, integrity is of that
kind which "costs loo cents on the
dollar and has all been paid" and
he Is n every way worthy of the
support of every democratic voter
IN this county.
We commend him to your favor
able consideration.

Many New Species of Birds and Rep
tiles Have Been Found in
the Islands.

Since the recent announcements
made concerning the results of the
Rothschild expedition to the Gala
pagos islands scientists have been
much interested in the reports. The
expedition took place in 1897, but the
members of the party were pledged
to secrecy about it until Walter
Rothschild, who betrayed the eX-
pense of the trip, should have pub
iished his scientific book upon the re-
searches of the expedition. That
book has recently appeared in Lon
don.
The expedition was under the d.
rection of Prof. Charles n. Harris.
and was sent out for the purpose OF
collecting natural history specimens
from Galapagos islands, which are
situated directly on the equator, 1000
miles from San Francisco. The ex-
plorers brought back with them i'm
portant contributions to science, 81
tortoises taken alive, and among
which were two new species; $500
valuable bird skins, 16 new species OF
birds and many species of hitherto
unknown reptiles. Altogether $500
specimens were collected.

BILLIONS OF CIGARS SMOKEY
Interesting Facts Revealed by Fig
ures ia the Report of Internal
Revenue Commissioner.

In one year 6,905, 749,96S cigars were
cons umed by the cigar smokers of the
United States. For every one of the
365 days of the year, beginning June
30, 1901, and ending June 30, 1902, 49,
919,862 cigars were consumed. Or, il
might be said, in every second of the
"A hours, comprising each day, 21o
stubs were thrown away. There were
90 cigars consumed for every man,
woman and child in the United States,
says a Washington correspondent Of
the Chicago Inter Ocean.
The information upon which these
figures are based was cleaned from
the annual report for the fiscal year
1902 of the commissioner of internal
revenue, recently issued by the United
States treasury department at Wash
lngton. The estimates are made upon
the receipts from the sale of revenue
domestic and imported manufactures
withdrawn from warehouses for con
sumption.
In order to place it more readily
within the grasp of the reader, if the
entire number consumed in the year
were placed end to end they would
reach distance of 400, 465 miles, which
is more than 10 times the circumfer-
ence of the earth.
The average yearly increase in the
number consumed for the past five
calendar years is 573 ,233, 161, or more
than half billion a year. If the
present rate of increase continues, ten
years hence, in 1912, the people of this
country will be smoking at the rate Of
12,OOO,OO0,0O0 cigars annually
AS enormous as the number NAV
seem. the cigars smoked last year do
not represent one-third of all the to-
bacco consumed. The consumption of
cigarettes alone is estimated at the
approximate number Of 1858, 176, 100.
From this source the government real
lied in tax So, G87, 1885.
The number of pounds of tobacco
and snuff, which does not include ci-
gars and cigarettes, produced last
year was 298, 048,3 and 1851, 136, re-
spectively, making & total of 1928, 464,-
428 pounds. Deducting the amount ex-
ported, 13,11S,431 pounds, and addiD @
the amount imported, 373, AIS pounds,
gives 315,719,475, which represents APP
proXlmately the number Of pounds of
tobacco and snuff consumed in the
United States last year.
In the fiscal year 1901 the production
of tobacco and snuff was 32O,O19, 531
pounds. The increase in 1902 was
8,444,987 pounds.
The increase in the quantity of to-
bacco and snuff withdrawn for con
sumption was 4,925,915 pounds; the in
crease i'll tobacco and snuff exported
was 3,594,301 pounds, and the increase
in tobacco and snuff imported was
1919 pounds.

MICE IN THE ORCHARD.
Unless the "Omen of Prevention Is
ResOrted To They May Do
Considerable Damage.

Young orchard trees are almost as
likely to be injured by mice in some
parts of the country as BY rabbits N
other places. Sometimes when the
Snow goes off in the spring, it is
found that many trees have had
their bark more or less gnawed off by
mice. The injury extends from three
to six inches above the ground and
may entirely encircle the trunk. Ii
the trees are small and have been
completely girdled, there is little
hope of saving them, especially if q
wide strip of bark has been entirely
removed. With larger trees or small
er injuries, much can be done to re-
pair the damage, If the injured wood
is not allowed to become dry. The
wound should be Immediately COW
cred with grating wax or a thick
coat of paint and covered by mound
of earth heaped up around it. If the
wound is not too large, it will in time
be covered by new growth of bark.
High manuring and requent cultiva-
ton will hasten this process of re-
pairing the injury.
In this case, as in all others, "an
ounce of prevention is worth a pound
of cure" An orchard should never
be planted i'll sod, as the surrounding
grass and weeds greatly increase the
danger from mice. If mice are
known to be in the orchard, the
trunks may be covered for distance
of 20 inches from the ground with
wire mosquito netting, or with thin
wooden veneers, thus affording pro-
lection against rabbits and other
pests also If this has not been done.
the danger may be greatly lesseneI
by tramping the snow down hard
around the trees after each Storm
Prairie Farmer.
