Things That Never Die.
CHARLES DICKENS.

CHARLES DICKENS.
The pure, the bright, the beautiful,
That stirred our hearts in youth,
The impulses of wordless prayer,
The dreams Of love and truth;
The longings after something lost,
The spirits yearning cry,
The striving after better hopes
These things can never die.
The timid hand stretched forth to
aid
A brother in his need,
A kindly word in grief's dark hour
That proves a friend indeed;
The plea for mercy, lofty breathed,
When justice threatens nigh
The sorrow of contrite heart
These things shall never die.
The memory of clasping hand,
The pressure of a kiss,
And all the trihes, sweet and frail
That makes up loves first bliss !;
If with firm, unchanging faith,
And holy trust and high,
Those hands have clasped, those
lips have met
These things shall never die.
The cruel and the bitter word,
That wounded as it fell,
The chilling want of sympathy
We feel, but never tell;
The hard repulse that chills the
heart
Whose hopes were bounding high
In an unfading record kept
These things shall never die.
Let nothing pass, for every hand
Must find some work to do;
Lose not a chance to waken love-
Be firm and just and true,
So shall light that cannot fade
Beam on thee from on high,
And angel voices say to thee
These things shall never die.

CROPS AND THE wEATH Err.

U. s. Department of Agriculture,
climate and crop bulletin of the
weather bureau, Missouri section
for the week ending April u, 1903, as
compiled by section director A. 4.
Hackett:
Unusually cool weather has con-
tinued throughout the state, with
killing frosts 22nd, 23rd and 26th.
average amount of sunshine in the
western sections, but in the eastern
sections there was considerable
cloudiness. Heavy showers fell in
localities in the central and northern
sections on the 10Th, but over much
the greater portion of the state the
rainfall during the past week has
been very light. In some of the
southern and northwestern counties
the ground has been in good con-
dition to work, plowing has been
pushed and considerable corn
planted, a few correspondents re-
porting planting nearly completed,
but in most sections the soil con-
tinues heavy and cold and work has
progressed very slowly, very little
planting being done. Considerable
corn is up in the southern counties
but is making very little growth and
looks yellow owing to the cool
weather. Cotton planting has pro-
gresed favorably in Pemiscat,
| Dunklin and New Madrid counties,
| and little flax has been sown in the
southwestern counties. Oats are
practically all sown and are doing
well, as a rule, though needing
warmer weather. In many of the
northern counties the acreage has
been considerably reduced. In a
number of the southern counties
wheat is less promising than at the
close of the preceding week. In
some districts it has been damaged
by an excess of moisture, in others
principally in the southwest section)
by insects, and in some of the south
eastern counties it is being injured
by rust. In most of the central and
northern counties, however, the crop
continues in excellent condition.
Pastures and meadows are doing
fairly we'll but need more warmth.
Potatoes and early gardens are
growing very slowly, as rule, and
in many of the central and northern
counties but few potatoes have yet
been planted and little gardening
has been done. In Dunklin county
there is some complaint that melons
are dying, necessitating replanting.
The frosts of the 23d and 25th
damaged strawberries to some extent
in number of the central and south
western counties, and peaches,
lcherries and early garden vegetables
were also damaged slightly in
localities. In localities in Lawrence,
Jasper and st. Louis counties straw
berries are reported damaged one
fourth to one-half. Much damage
to vineyards is also reported in
Usage county. Apples are now in
full bloom in the northern counties
and the outlook for that crop con-
tinues very promising. Caterpillars
are making their appearance on the
trees in a few of the northwestern
counties.

WORLDS FAIR CORN EXHIBIT.
Missouri Commission Offers Prizes for
Corn-WiII Distribute Pedigreed
Seed Free.


With a view to making the best
possible Corn Exhibit for Missouri
at the Worlds Fair in st. Louis in
1904, and to induce the farmers of
the State to take special pains to
produce the best corn possible, the
Missouri Commissioners to the
Worlds Fair have decided to offer
liberal prizes for the best exhibit
of not more than one hundred
ears of any one kind of corn. The
details of classification, the rules
governing the contest, and the
time and places where these pre-
liminary exhibits will be held will
be announced in short time.
The Commission has also decided
to distribute free OF charge a limit
ed quantity of pedigreed seed corn
of four or five of the standard
varieties such as the Boone county
White, Nebraska White Prize,
Leaning, Silver Mine, Reid's Vel
low Dent, etc. The Boone County
White and Nebraska White Prize
are adapted to the bottom lands and
very rich upland, while the Silver
Mine, Leaning and Reid's Yellow
Dent are better adapted to the up
lands.
1t is understood that the prizes
offered by the Commission are not
to be limited, however, to corn
grown from seed to be distributed.
These prizes will be awarded on the
merits of the corn, regardless of
the source of seed from which it
was grown. Therefore, any farm.
er preparing for this contest may
use seed Of his own selection if he
prefers to do so.
A condition of the contest is that
the Commission may select any ex-
hibit that Is entered for the con-
test, whether it is awarded prize
or not, and place the same on ex.
hibition at the Worlds Fair in
1904 without expense to the grower,
and to be entered at the Worlds
Fair in the name of the grower for
awards offered by the Worlds
Fair.
Parties desiring this seed should
apply at once to Dean II. j. Waters
of the Agricultural College, Co.
lumbia, stating the kind of soil
upon which the corn is to be grown,
so that variety adapted to this
soil may be sent. He should also
state the color of the seed of the
corn that is to be grown on the
farm so as to avoid mixing.
1t is needless to say that this
corn ought to be put upon the best
possible land; it should have the
most thorough preparation and SUBJ
sequent cultivation, and should not
be planted too thick. 1t is best for
this purpose to have only two
stalks in hill, about three feet six
inches apart each way. The corn
ought to be planted medium early,
and as the planting season is now
upon us those who avail themselves
of this opportunity should write to
Dean Waters Immediately for seed.
Missouri can, win on corn at the
Worlds Fair if every corn grower
in the State will make it his per.
sonal business to produce the best
that his soil will grow and place al
the disposal of the Commission the
choicest ears of his crop.

HESS BLEW OUT THE LIGHT
And the Neighbors Exiinsuished
the Blaze.

When ]. j. Hess left his homo on
Ninth and J streets last Friday
evening he extinguished the light by
blowing down tho lamp chimney
fifteen minutes afterward, he and the
neighbors were fighting fire and sue.
ceeding In extinguishing il, but not
until two rooms had been nearly gut.
tod and furniture in the other rooms
damaged.
The lamp had a metal bowl which
prevented Mr.. Hess from seeing that
the blaze had been blown down the
wick. Tho explosion which resulted
was sufficient to tip tho lamp over
but not break Ito bowl. The oil
spilled out gradually so It was several
minutes after Mr.. Hess left tho house
before the fire got much headway.
D. H. Boker was the first TO notice
smoke issuing from tho house and
he, not finding anyone at home, broke
open tho door aud operated tho garden
hose. Noighbors assisted with
buckets and pans and had the fire ex.
tingnished by the time the hose cart
arrived.
The house was four.room building
belonging to Miss Ollie Adams and
was considerably damaged. Tho loss
on furniture was covered by insur.

A. A. C. WIN-SCORE S TO 0
High School Defeated in Football
Game Saturday.

The American Athletic Club may
we'll rejoice for they were given the
opportunity Saturday afternoon in
the contest with the high school
eleven of demonstrating the quality
Of their football team. 1t was their
6rst battle and the way they played
ball was revelation TO the spectators
who did not expect to witness an ex-
hibition of almost clever playing.
Everybody in attendance declared it a
most interesting game from start to
finish. A bevy of "high schoolers"
were out and gave their team ad-
mirable support throughout the game.
The high school stood up to their men
and improved their playing as the
game went on and Coe with the ball
ran we'll
Walter Harmon acted as umpire and
Jack Bennett. was chosen referee and
in every instance their decisions
were considered by both teams per-
fectly in accord with fairness, Some
unpleasant discussions and differences
of opinion arose as to the correct in
terpretation of the rules but were
promptly settled by the referee and no
one objected to his corrections. Both
teams acted in manner befttihg
gentlemen. There was no rough
handling and no one was hurt.
The high school had the kickoff
for the commencement of the match
Cheshire caught the ball and made
considerable territory before the
scrimmaging began. Ground was
gained rapidly toward high schools
goal, and in the last half minute of
the first half, before time was called,
Gagnon made fierce rush for
touchdown. and accomplished his pur-
pose. AL Schmidt kicked out for the
goal but failed.
During the rest of the half, the ball
was in high school territory. Short
halves alone prevented the A. A. C's
making their score bigger, Captain
Jordan's S men played their positions
we'll and they introduced a few little
catch plays. The teams
lined up as follows:
