CONCERNING HUMILITY.

Low in town yard, grassy paved,
a humble dandelion grew.
Above her head tall lilacs waved,
Proud in their plumes of blue.
The dandelion's beaming face
Was upward turned, vet all in vain.
The hlac's contemplated space
In naughty, cold disGain.
"Ah, WE'LL" the dandelion sighed,
Far rather would I lowly be
Than fsrnt my blossoms high and wide
For all the world to see."
And did a gentle little child
Ignore the hlac's higher claim
And pluck the dande1ion mild?
No, reader; not the same.
Nor did a wicked youngster tear
The lilac bushes with his knife,
And leave the dandeion there
To lead the quiet life
Humble the dandelion lay,
Yelling her face in verdant screens,
Until a man came by that way
And dug her up for greens
In ostentatious vanity
The hlacs evermore aspired.
Therein they showed their sanity
And got themselves admired.
And this, dear reader, goes to show
That men don't gain thro' being swabs
We mustn't hold ourselves too low
If We should hold our jobs.

Do.. Not Wear Uniform.

The one man around street car barns
who is a big fellow these lays is the
inspector. He is big on account Of his
clothes. He does not have to wear a
uniform. While conductors and motor
men and starters and all the rest of the
bunch stand around clothed In gar
ments Of stuffy blue cloth he struts
about in nice striped suit and spotted
shirt. The only badge Of his calling
is his cap, and by the time the passen-
gers have taken in the details Of the
rest Of his natty attire they forget to
look at that.-New York Times. .

Myrtle Bell, of Hancock, tried to COM
NIT suicide in the city Jail at Hough-
ton, Mich, under sensational circum-
stances. Overcome with shame for be-
ing arrested on "a charge of drunken

twisted them into Il rope, attached it
to the ceiling of her cell, and stepped
off the bunk. William Anderson,
city teamster, by chance entered the
city Jail.
No turnkey or keys were to be found
to unlock the cell door and the young
woman was strangling before Ander-
sons eyes. With much difficulty he
managed to get his arms through the
bars, and with his pocketknife cut the
woman down. Medical assistance was
Immediately summoned, and her life

SECRETARY WILSON SAYS
PINES WILL RECLAIM LAND

Oma ha, NcD., Sept. 22.-Secretary Of
Agriculture Wilson spent a day in
Omaha, returning from the irrigation
convention. While in Nebraska he
has investigated the results obtained
in planting and raising pine trees in
the sand hill districts of the state. He
says eighty acres of fine young timber
of this class is now growing on the
very worst of the sand hills and there
is no doubt that the means of making
forests of these waste places has been
found.
He considers this of the utmost i'm
pOrtance ia connection with the prob
lem of irrigation as means of con-
serN ing the moisture and preventing
foods. He said there was no doubt
that the cutting of the forests at the
headwaters of the Ohio and its tribu-
tarieS was responsible largely for the
floods in that stream.
