through division fence.
The man with the corn told his griev-
ances to Burkett Just about the time
Burkett began his heart-to-heart talk.
Around the corn man were half a dozen
men waiting for him to side one way
or the other. How he did it no one
knows, but in less than an hour the
farmers who had threatened to go to
law for the rest of their days were out
fixing that fence, and Burkett got the
solid delegation from that precinct
According to the reporters who inter-
viewed him, Barkett has always been
a good Indian" and always full Of a
story, except about his senatorial can
didacy, and even In that he is so sin

had an interesting session this winter.
Speaker Cannon said"
But the newspaper men and the farm
ers are not the only persons that Bur-
kett impresses. 1t was Joseph @. Can
non, then head Of the appropriation
committee, who asked that the young
Nebraskan be made a member of that
committee.
In his short career Burkett has been
the hero Of many stories. He has a
knack Of remembering faces as well as
any man In public life, but on one occa-
sion, so his friends are telling now, he
lost vote and made perhaps lifelong
enemy by forgetting one. He was in
the southeastern part of the state. Rid

or sanction 1t is repetition Of the way
his political career begun eight years
ago.
Back In 1896. after Burkett had strug-
gled along for three years as a member
OF the bar and general worker for the
republicans of his ward, the local ma
chine had decided upon its candidates
for the legislature, but needed to head
on a man in Burkett's ward to make
its delegation sure. Very softly ma
chine man whispered to Burkett the ad-
visibility of his becoming a candidate.
Burkett did, and never before had his
his delegation, and that was all he ex-
pected to do. The night before the con-
vention a caucus was held, and so little
interested was Burkett about the nom-
ination that he was asleep long before
the caucus started. One Of the ma
chimes candidates showed symptoms of
being sold. Some one mentioned Bur-
kett. II was taken up in minute, and
Burkett was named.
Then came the campaign. He proved
effective on the stump. and in the legis-
lature he was recognized as one of its
foremost debaters. He served only one
term, because Lancaster next year pro-
posed him for congress. and he has been
there ever since.
When Burkett's name was first men,
toned for congress many persons didn't
know about this young man Burkett. 81

THE CRY OF THE OLD HOUSE.

Come backi
Ny little lads come backi
My little maids, with starched frocks;
My lads. my maids, come back!
The poplar trees are black
Against the keen, lone. throbbing sky;
The tang OF the old box
Fills the clear dusk from wall to wall.
And the dews fall
Come backi

Leave the rude wharf, the mart;
Come backi
Else shall break my heart

My days as they were not?-
The warm, sweet. grooming tunes:
The Sunday afternoons.
Wrought but for you;
The larkspurs growing tall
You wreathed in pink and blue.
Within your prayer-books small;
The cupboards carved both in and out,
With curious prickly vine.
And smelling far and fine:
The pictures In a row,
OF folk you did not know:
The toys. the games, the shrill, gay rout:
The lanterns, that at hour for bed.
A charmed. but homely red.
Went fiickering from shed to shed:
The fagots crumbling, spicy. good.
Brought IN from the great wood:
The Dark that held you all about:
The Wind that would not go?-
Come back. my women and my men.
And take them all againi
Come backi
Come up the still. accustomed. wistful
lands,
The poplar-haunted lands.
You need not call,
For shall know t--t
And light the candles tall,
Set wine and loaf arrow.
Come backi
Unlatch the door,
And fall upon my heart once more.
For shall comfort you. oh lad;
Oh. daughter. / shall make you wholly
glad

The unavailing throng.
The sting. the smart.
Shall be as they were not.

PLoWS UP BURIED MONEY.
Kentucky Farmer Several Hundred
Dollars Richer Owing to
Good Luck.

While ]. A. Jackson. a farmer. living
near Mayfield. was plowing in the gar
den his little six-year-old child found
a lot OF gold and silver money where it
had been plowed up. and went and
showed It to his father. He then stopped
work and began to scrape about, and
found several hundred dollars in gold
and silver. which is supposed to have
been buried by parties there during the
civil war. The dates on the money were
from 1912 to 1860. An old lady lived on
that farm during the war. but has been
dead 30 years. and It is supposed the par
ties who buried the money have long
since been dead.

concern to his majesty's medical at
