THE LOG MEETIN' HOUSE.

Sunday mornin's when the sunshine
Seems to filter down as still,
An the leaves amt hardly stirrin',
An the fur-off wooded hill
Looks as hazy an as distant
An intangible as dreams,
Then / know a haze is hangin'
Over all the country streams.
Then ! see the brethren gather
In the way they useter do
By the little Of log meetin' house
My happy boyhood knew.
When I'm tuslin' with my collar
With my chin UP in the air,
An the city chimes are ringin'
Think, oh, think of Over There!"
Then's the times l quit my wrigglin'
An ] see an oil log church
In a clearin' by the roadside,
An I'see the ragged birch
An a bunch of dogwood blossoms
Are a gracin' of the pew
In the little oil log meetin' house
My happy boyhood knew.
Just some little oil hard benches
Used on weekdays for the school,
But the winders all wide open
An the breeze a tricklin' cool
From the birch an pine an naples
That flung shadders brown an deep,
An the circuit rider preachin'-
kin almost go to sleep
When / think / heal him talkin'-
Oh, I'm dreamin' of the blossoms
Of the dogwood wet with dew
In the little oil log meetin' house
My freckled boyhood knew!

Lifetime Work of the Heart.

The human heart is practically a
force pump about six inches in length
and four inches in diameter. 1t beats
10 times per minute, 1920 times per
hour, 100,S00 times per day and $780,
600 times per year, and 2,575, 440, 900
say two thousand five hundred and
seventy-five million four hundred and
forty thousand-times in 10 years,
which is mans appointed three-score
years and ten" At each of these beats
it forces 2Ha ounce of blood through
the system, IT'S ounces per minute,
65GH pounds per hour, or TX tons per
day. All the blood of the body, which
is about 80 pounds, passes through the
heart every three minutes. This little
organ pumps every day what is equal to
lifting 122 tons one foot high or one
ton 1872 feet high--that is, one ton to
the top of a 40-yard mill chimney, or
16 persons weighing 1875 pounds each
to the same height. During the 70years
of a mans life this marvellous little
pump, without a single moments rest,
night or day, discharges the enormous
quantity of 17s,s5O tons of blood

POINTS AND OPINIONS.

THE HaDna-Foraker harmony is
SO thick that anybody could cut it with
a knife.-Cincinnati Enquirer.
MIR. Hanna referred TO him The
other day as "our young heroic presi-
dent" Uncle Mark knows a band
wagon when he sees one.-Chicago
Record-Herald Qnd.).
Probably MIR, Hanna would not
have minded the defeat on the Roose-
welt resolutions, if he could have sub
seouently avoided the approval Of Mr..
Foraker.-Detroit Free Press.
THE general scramble OF the re-
publican politicians to get in place on
the Roosevelt band wagon is born of a
desire for political spoils. The repub-
lean patriot, whose main hops is for
The old flag and an appropriation never
gets left if he knows it.
Postmaster General Payne ex-
poses his hand by d%enouncing the mo-
tives of those who make charges Of the
rotten condition of his department. If
he was earnest in wishing to turn the
r~ascals out, he would welcome all evil
dence against the evildoers.
The worst feature about the post
office scandal is that so many con-
gressmen must have been aware of
some of the misdoings and participated
in the plumber to the extent of getting
their friends appointed to office or the

erably raised.
Another republican scandal has
come to light Unexpectedly, by the dis
covery that the fund of the District of
Columbia for special assessments has
been looted of $75 5000. The officers in
charge of the District do not seem to
have ever taken the precaution to
count the cash from time to time, for
the footing has been going on for five
years under republican management.
MIR. Roosevelt knows what he
wants, and asks for it of the man who
has a great deal of the say about Civ
ing it,. Endorsement in 1908 and get
ting the nomination in 1904 are differ
ent things, though. Next year is the
time when the convention will be held,
and when the politicians and mana
gers will be doing the most work.
Cincinnati Enquirer.
Some of the Iowa republicans
are still fretting over the shelter
plank in their platform which is known
as the iowa Idea" but are far from
agreeing on what they are going to
do about it. When Senator Allison at
the coming state convention proposes
the compromise plank, that he is said
to be connecting, they will all fall into
line and try to fool the voters of that
agricultural state into believing the
tariff protects them from the foreign
err and does not shelter the trusts.
The latest recruit for Senator
Hanna's 'let well enough alone" plat
form is Mrs. Shaw, the wife ofThe sec
rotary of the treasury, who Is giving
the press some breezy interviews on
politics and Washington etiquette.
She is evidently opposed to Gov. Cum
minis and the iowa idea" and wants
the public to know it. 1t is very inter-
esting and it is to be hoped that all
the cabinet ladies will give their opin-
ions on these important issues; they
are more likely to give us the facts
than their more polite husbands.

PUBLIC SCHOOLS OF MEXICO.
They Offer Many Advantages Fur
nished Free to Pupils by the
Government.

Mexico is one of the few countries in
which it is possible for a child to be
educated at government expense from
the time of beginning to learn his let
ters until receiving his diploma at
graduation from a scientific or literary
institution, says Modern Mexico. Dur.
ing the year 1900 there entered the
public schools of the federal district
4S.S56 children; the average daily at
tendance was 25,40S; 21,757 entered for
examination and 1920 passed; 1,715
graduated.
In a general way the present meth
DDS followed by the Direction de In
struction Publica" (bureau of public
education) are framed after the most
approved ones both in Europe and the
United States. the wonderful progress
achieved in the latter country being
attentively watched by Mexico to prof
it by what appears to the world at
large as the best and most practical,
regardless of expense.
In 1871 there were only some 5000
SCllooIS III lux Nlolt lCliiltIi Ol lllc
republic, while in 1875 the number rose
TO SOB, or an average of one for ev-
cry LILO inhabitants, this proportion
being on much better basis than Aus
tria, Greece and Portugal in Europe,
and Brazil, Argentine Republic and
Chill. or the most advanced, nations in
South America.
The number of pupils attending
school then were, in round numbers,
100000, or about 20 per cent. of the
population of school age, the expense
being over 81, 600. 900, borne by the gov
ernment. plus something like $780,
600 donated by private parties, or a
round sum of So, SOC, 900 expended on
primary instruction by the Mexican
people, the official or government part
of which "a represented by more
than 5000 teachers. o%ne-fourth of
whom were women. These figures are
trebled at present, and Mexico has be-
gun a march toward the goal of en-
lightenment and perfection in educa-
ton which is paving the way for it's
future advancement among the ma
tons of the earth.

doubt in my mind at the time, nor in
the mind of any other senator or
newspaper man with whom | talked,
that the special message was intend
ed to kill the franchise tax bill.
. Although the governor had
solemnly assured me that he was 60

These are only a few of the old
scores against Mr.. Roosevelt which
New York voters will have to settle
when the president asks for voters
there in 1904. He saidnin January,
1900. that under no circumstances
would he accept a nomination for the
vice presidency. Had he felt certain
of reelection as governor he proba-
bly, would not have broken this
pledge made to leading republicans.
and would not have BEEN called a
"brilliant. "erratic and curious sort OF
man" by that old wheel-horse re-
publican. Gen. Grosvenor.
There are others in New York be-
sides the Wall street element who
will not vote for Roosevelt. In fact,
it is safe to say. that Wall street Will
not only support him in 1904, but Will
furnish the dough for his campaign
