A Word for Dad.

We happened in a home the other
night and over the parlor door saw
the legend worked in letters of red,
What is home without a mother?"
Across the room was another brief
God bless our home"
Now, what's the matter with God
bless our dad" He gets up early, lights
the fire, boils an egg, grabs his dinner
pail and wipes off the dew of the dawn
with his boots while many a mother
is sleeping He makes the weekly hand
out for the butcher, the grocer, the
milkman and the baker, and his little
pile is badly worn before he has been
home an hour. He stands off the bal
lift and keeps the rent paid up.
If there is a noise during the night
dad is kicked in the back and made
go down stairs to find the burglar and
kill him. Mother darns the socks, but
dad buys the socks in the first place
and the needles and yarn afterwards
Mother does up the fruit; well, but
dad buys it all, and jars and sugar
cost like the mischief.
Dad buys chickens for the Sunday
dinner, carves them himself and draws
the neck from the ruins after every
one else is served What is home with
out a mother?" Yes, that is all right
but "Wha. is home without father?'
Ten chances to one is a boarding
! house, father is under a slab, and tn
landlady is the widow Dad, here's t
you: you've got your faults-you ma.
have lots of 'em-but we will mis-
you when you're gone.

ded the question of a kindergarte

There are about 100000 migratory
sheep in Spain, which each year travel
as much as 200 miles from the plains to
the mountains. They are known as
transhumantes, and their march, rest
ing places and behavior are governed
by special regulations, dating from the
fourteenth century. At certain times
no one may travel the same route as
the sheep, which have the right to
Craze OH all open and common land on
the way. For this purpose a road nine
U yards wide must be left on all in
closed and private property. The shep.
herds lead their fOcks, which follow
after and around. The fiocks are &C
companied by provision mules and by
large dogs to guard against wolves
The merino sheep travel 400 miles te
the mountains, and the total time spent
on the migration there and back il
fourteen weeks.

What Tonopah Wants.

Tonopah now has regular stock
board, where sales are held and quot
atoms are given out. and that is a
great help to it's development. There
is another want which it would be
we'll to supply, and which l am sure
would do much to toward its interests.
If Mr. Cutting, or a committee of men
who are in a finantial sense deeply
interested in Tonopah, would organ.
ize system of weekly reports such as
come from the Comstock every week,
and supply them to the papers, the in
terest Of the people would be greatly
increased. Investors want to know
what is going on. AS it is, the names
of the different mines dealt in at the
stock board means nothing to the in
vesting public. II what I reccomend
was done. there void arise a lively in.

The most potent factor Of good breed
Ing, the prime element, the first prin-
ciple, is nothing more or less than q
condensation Of the Golden Rule-un-
selfshness, kindness of heart. Nothing
else can ever gain superiority over this
great and noble trait Of character, and
without this no person can possess real
refinement, perfect dignity and truly
good breeding. Nothing can supply its
loss, and nothing can buy its posses
sion. Unselfishness is inherent, innate
and Unborn. 1t is a mysterious some
thing that cannot we'll be defined and
yet may be found in the poorest and
humblest as well as in the Hottest and
noblest of all Gods creatures.
Good breeding is plainly matter of
instinct, an Unborn possession that is
one of the greatest Of treasures. Many
possess it, but great many more fail
to attain it through lack of the neces.
sary qualities essential to it's acquisi
tion.-Memphis Commercial Appeal.

TO FIX THE PRICES OF PRODUCE

Chicago, Aug. 19.-President Ever
ett of the American Society OF Equity
today conferred with leading repre-
sentatives of the Farmers Alliance to
determine a future date when a joint
meeting with the organization will be
held to fix prices on staple products.
The aim of the conference is to OBJ
tain dollar wheat and forty cents
bushel for potatoes.
Hamilton White, financial agent OF
the cooperative company in outlining
the plans of the alliance says that it
is intended to obtain subscriptions OF
fifty million dollars of capital to be
used in the erection Of grain eleva-
tors and cold storage plants in the
north and cotton warehouses and
compressers in the south to be used
by farmer members of the alliance
and operated by them. The farmers
design the detention of produce in
these storehouses till the farkets are
satisfactory. The headquarters will
be in Chicago. Some effort will prob
ably be made to sell wheat at dol
lar this year. If the plans of the
combination succeed the farmers
trust will be the greatest in the world
They contend that producers by ii
can control the situation, for they say
that the detention of all produce fol
ten days will compel the markets tC
meet their figures.
