/ see her now-the fairest thing
That ever Knocked mans picturing.
picture her as one who drew
Aside life's curtain and looked through
The mists of all LIES mysteries
AS from wood to open sea.
I picture her as one who knew
How rare Is truth to be untrue
AS one who knew the awful sign
Of death, of life, of the divine
Sweet pity of all loves, all hates
Beneath the iron-footed fates.
I picture her as seeking peace
And olive leaves and vine-set land
While strife stood by on either hand
And wrung her tears like rosaries.
I picture her in passing rhyme,
AS of, yet not a part of, these
A woman born above her time.
The soft, wide eyes of wonderment,
That trustink looked you through and
through,
The sweet, arched mouth, bow new
bent
That sent loves arrows swift and true
That sweet, arched mouth! The Orient
Hath not such pearls in all her stores;
No. all her storied, spice-set shores
Have fragrance such as it hath spent.

THE NEW vBsaRv q FRIuAY MORNING oC1OBHR 30
Talks With Farmers.

Driving with a farmer recently, we pass
ed a number of corn shocks standing to-
gether near the barn. He told us that
this was his seed corn, and that shocks
consisted of ideal stalks selected all over
the field and that not a stalk in the lot
had less than two good ears on It, This
looks like proper seed saving, and after
getting the ideal plant it is easy to select
the ideal ear. But if one selects simply
for the ideal ear he may get with 1t other
characteristics that are not desirable.
Plant ideal ears from ideal plants, and
then remove all tassels from barren stalks
around them in the field before the pollen
ripens. AS much can be done in increas-
ing the corn crop by proper breeding as
by the fertilization and cultivation of the
soil.
THE SCARCITY OF FARM LABOR.
The general prosperity of the manu-
facturers, miners and railroads has had
one bad effect on the agriculture of the
country. It is hard 10 get men TO ac-
cept the lower wages and longer hours OF
the farm, with the exposure to the wealth
er, when they can get higher wages for
shorter hours in the shops and on the
railroads The difficulty Is not confined
to the Northern States, where the farm
labor is generally performed by white
men, but it is also reaching many parts
Of the South, where the negroes have
irifted from the farms to the mines and
railroad construction, md many have
gene North, while those that remain are
more and more inclined to congregate
around the towns and loaf while their
food from the pilferings of the negro
cooks. A subscriber in Pennsylvania
writes to us on this subject and wishes
the farm papers to take up the matter
of farm labor and agitate it to arouse the
farmers to some step that may give re
lief We must confess that We are un-
able to see just how the farm papers are
to do much in the way of helping the
farmers out of this difficulty. The usue!
conditions attending the life of the ordi-
nary farm laborer are not attractive to
the young men, and the practice OF board
ing young men in the farmers family
where white labor is employed, is not
attractive to the farmers family. The
best way out of it seems to us to be the
building of houses and the employment
of married men through the year, giving
them some opportunity to make decent
homes around them, and thus to relieve
the overworked mistress Of the farmers
home while increasing the permanency
and efficiency of the LABOR We make
this suggestion in order to draw out
the experiences of our readers on this
subject of farm labor in various sections
of the country and hope that some may
be able to make suggestions hat may
br of value

SPEND A NIGHT OF TERROR.
Thrilling Experience of Two Farmers tn Trying to Cross Mis-
 souri River.

J. U. Floerschinger and Nick Nell son, two Cedar county (Neb.) farm CTS, who had spent the day in Yank- ton, s. D.. left fop home in a light sl<iff the other evening. The night was dark, and the Missouri river full of floating ice. But they anticipated no particular danger as they left the shore and struck out for their homes
 Suddenly they struck current of Somewhat alarmed, they pulled more vigorously, and were soon across the open current, but found their path blocked by a heavy gorge of ice, pounding and grinding its immense blocks against each other, and tower ing far above their heads one minute, 10 fall with a tremendous crash back into the river the next. Now thor oughly scared, the voyagers hastily searched in the icy barrier for a channel to the shore, and then des- perately pulled back to return to the South Dakota side. A few strong strokes carried them across the roar ing current, only to find that the quantities of ice they had met on that side had also closed in and formed into another wall, as formid- able as the first. During the rest of the night Yhey were forced to battle for their lives against the ice and the angry river which was forced into a torrent between the walls on either side and filled with drift chunks that threatened each moment tc wreck their little craft. A hundred times they were ready to give up the un- equal struggle, bUt again took cour- age to fight little longer Just at daylight they succeeded in forcing way through the gorge on the Dakota side, and, more dead than alive, reached the land.

Reliance Shows Superiority Over the
Old Defender.

New York, May 23.-By a combina-
on of good luck and splendid sailing
qualities, the new cup yacht Reliance
intiicting such a defeat upon the for
mer cup defender, Columbia, as she
had never before suffered, leading her
over the finish line of a twenty-five
mile course off Glen Cove by fourteen
minutes and forty-three seconds, Off.
cial time.
Not all Of the glory of the victory
was fairly earned by the new boat.
If it had been there would have been
no doubt that the Reliance would be
the next cup defender. But despite
the COlumbia's ill luck, the Reliance
convincingly showed herself to be the
better boat. She had beaten the Co.
lumbia nearly eight minutes in a broad
reach of eleven miles in fluky zephyrs,
beaten her one minute and fifteen
seconds running free for three miles
in a steady ~twelve-knot breeze, and
beaten her four minutes and fifteen
seconds in an eleven-Mile thresh to
windward close-hauled in a fifteen
knot Southwestern. This timing is un-
official and allows for Reliance's
fffty-five seconds advantage at the
start. When the Reliance crossed the
finish line the Columbia was three
miles astern. hopelessly beaten.
The first log of the days race was
not a fair test Of the merits of the two
boats, but it sufficed to develop sur.
prising drifting qualities in the Re.
lance, supposed until now to be q
heavy weather boat.
