Through weary years and dreay

He wrote and wrote and wrote;
His trousers bagged around the knees
And gloss was OF, his coat
They sent his foolish stories back.
He filed them all away,
And scrubbed on and worried on,
And hit it right M day.
He wrote a tail, a thrilling tall,
That had a wealth of wit,
And he that had been down so long
Was lifted high by it.
His name became a houehold word,
They made him rich and glad;
Rerown was his, success "a his,
He had become a fad.
They praised his work, they craved
his work;
The publishers no more
Declined with thanks the stuff he
wrote,
AS they had lone before.
They hung around him eagerly,
And forth from dusky hooks
He brought old tales, his dull old tales,
And they We're put in books.

Cast all their cares aside.
And read the rot. the dreary rot,
And laughed until they cried.
Now who shall tell and wisely tell
The author what to do?
Oh. should he rob the multitude
To please a carping few?
Should pleasure be withheld that

The glory which is arts?
SHOULD men be fooled when being
fooled

Iowa Butter Weather.

"More butter is being made just at
present than is usual at this time Of
the year." said Dairy Commissioner
H. r. Wright, who has just returned
from a three weeks inspection trip
of the creameries Of the state. "The
reason for this unusual production
is the fine pasturage which has contin-
ued so much better later than usual
this season. Usually the milk
supply begins to diminish about Au-
gust /, or even in July, when the
pasturage begins to dry up, but there
has been no such thing as that this
year.-Des Moines Register.

of John Paul Jones, who is buried in
Paris, and bring them back to this
country.
Secretary Moody is much interested
in the plan to have the American ma
val hero's bones inferred in this oun
try and is collecting information con-
corning the place he is supposed to be
buried. The last resting place OF
John Paul Jones is supposed to be
under a photograph gallery at the cor
ner of Rue GrangeauX Bellies and Rue
des Ecluse st. Martin. The entire
square in which the bones are suppos'
ed to lie can probably be bought for
$150,000.
1t is the desire of American his
torical and patriotic societies which
have communicated with Secretary
Moody to have the buildings on this
land raised and a careful search made
for the bones. If they are found they
will be brought to this country on a
warship and the square will be resold.
If the bones should not be found, it is
the desire of the admirers of the naval
hero that the square be converted
into a park, In which a monument
shall be raised in his memory.

OKLAHOMA

Oklahoma is a wonder. In no other
part of the world can wheat and corn
and cotton be grown in the same fields
so successfully as in that section, n
the government test of sixty-two
pounds of wheat to the bushel is in
80 per cent of the territory surpassed.
In corn, 60, 900, 900 bushels go from Ok
lahoma to the market, and the terri.
tory's cotton crop is counted upon to
run this year beyond 100000 bales.
Northern and eastern farmers are
entering Oklahoma in large numbers.
1t is possible to sell a farm in New
York, Pennsylvania, or Delaware, in
Michigan, Ohio or Illinois, and buy for
it's price two or three times the same
area in Oklahoma-an area capable Of
producing at least twice as much OF
certain crops as is the northern aver
age. In potatoes and vegetables gen.
orally, in alfalfa and hay-in a long
list of products-Oklahoma will yield
regularly two, and often three, crops
per year, an advantage persuasive
among the arguments that induced
immigration to Oklahoma. from the
north and east.
Oklahoma's citizenship is varied into
an exceptional cosmopolitanism. Yet
95 per cent of the territory's voters are
Of American birth. Most have gone
from Texas and Missouri on one side
and from Kansas at the top. Next to
it's fertile soil the public school is Ok
lahoma's greatest asset. A new school
house is averaged each week now, says
an enthusiastic correspondent. Not
merely primary, either, are these
school extensions. Expenditures oil
public funds on a large scale support

normal school and agricultural college
and various academies receiving ap

From the New Orleans Times-Democrat.
Il regard Senator German as one Of

his following, the goldbug element and

Grover Cleveland policy of tariff for rev.

was such as 10 show the goldbugs that he
was not entirely in accord with 1t, yet
he accepted it a party measure. He
has broad views on the trust question
and would deal fairly with them and
would meet with little opposition from
that quarter, hence / believe he is the
most available man in the party today for

A Timely Tale of Cotton.

Victor Smith in New York Press
Ever since the first year OF the last
century we have been educated to be-
lieve that cotton would. when 1t felt like
1t, set fire to itself and disappear in
smoke and ashes. Now, since 'Hazey"
Price has made 100000 more on his
deal In the staple, we are told that self
ignition OF cotton is out of the question.
| know several brokers downtown who
would like to see all the cotton IN the
world burn up. But let that pass. A
Breslau court has rendered q decision
that, according to the universally ac-
knowledged opinion Of men Of science
and men of experience, self-ignition is
impossible. 1t is a popularity of cotton
that 1t may conceal combustibie matter
within itself for weeks or months. A
bale may lie in pond all winter, and
when removed will burst into flame with
out any apparent cause.
In the co.son country the visible evil
dence of farmers good standing Is
found in his front yard. l have known
men to keep bales piled up before their
houses for five years, waiting for the
price to rise. A well-pressed bale H. as
safe against damage by wind and wealth
er as a steam boiler. Down In Mis-
sissippi they pack crowbars inside to in
crease the weight. l have seen bales
opened on the levee at Memphis, Tenn.
whic.. were stuffed with stones weighing
in some cases as much as so pounds. Iron
at 4 cents a pound is cheaper than cot
ton at IL. Stones cost nothing. The cot
ton business is a great business. Our
old friend, "Dick' Wilson, was one of
the original cotton kings. His great for
