THE CANDIDATES GLAD HOUR.

l do not mind the shaking hands,
Nor introductions right and left
Nor bang and blare of busy bands
BY which the trembling air is cleft
But. Q, l have to smile and smile.
TO scatter sunshine every place!
I'm thankful for each little while
When l may partly rest my face.
The delegations come and go.
Committeeman drop in to chat
A smile I've always got to show;
| always must remember that
Although this constant smiling lends
To ones campaigning work zest.
I'm happy when good fortune sends
A chance to give my face rest.
Shake hands and smile; smile and shake
hands:
Arise and bow with winning smile;
Smile. to the footing of the bands!
/ feel just like crocodile!
The weary muscles of my cheeks
Seemed stretched to hold my mouth
agape-
I'm but a slave who thus bespeaks
a chance to get his face in shape
AL morning and all afternoon
And half the night my smile is on.
Until think of what boon
'Twould be were it forever gone.
Alas Not mine to question why
My duty is to smile, and wait,
And pray that the long hours may fly
So that my face may soon get straight.
Each dream that haunts my slumber
mockS
My weary face. with mad ming guile;
a nightmare of a ballot box
Demands that 1 keep on my smile
So, one dull ache from ear to ear.
1 go my way from place to place,
And finer far than shout ar cheer
Would be a chance to rest my face.

DATE AND FIG INDUSTRIES.
New Tropical Tmportations That
Thrive and Prove Successful
in California.

If the good work that has been prose-
cuted in California and Arizona during
the past few years in cultivating figs
and dates continues, these now imported
tropical fruits will became as cheap and
as common as the California prune and
raisin. According to reliable author
tiles, the California crop of Smyrna figs
during 1903 amounted to 100000 pounds
Of course, 65 tons of dried fruit is mere
bagatelle compared with the market
in this country, but it must be remem-
bered that, it is only within the past five
years that the secret of the pollination Of
the fig, which fills the fruit with the char
acteristic minute seeds and develops it's
delicate flavor, was Wrested from nature
by the governments experts. The pol
lination is accomplished by tiny insect
that had to be imported from the shores
Of the Mediterranean, and, what is still
more interesting, this insect is particu
larly fastidious, and refuses to employ
its talents for the benefit of man unless
fed on Capri, or wild figs. Accordingly,
wild figs, which are worthless for table
purposes, had to be imported, and now
one Of the expenses of fig cultivation is
the distribution Of the Capri figs
throughout the orchards for the benefit
Of this exacting little insect.
Down in Arizona where the expert
mentalists have been struggling with
the date palm question for some years
past, most gratifying success has been
achieved. While large number of the
suckers, brought at great expense and
trouble from Algiers and other African
date districts, as we'll as from Arabia
have died, the station now has some 422
trees started, some 60 trees in blossom
and at least four varieties in fruit The
th0roUghness of the world search for
promising varieties of dates will be ap-
preciated when it is stated that speci-
mems Of 68 varieties are now growing at
the Arizona experiment station grounds.

Changing the Sheep Pasture.

The sheep pasture must be some
times given rest from sheep on &C
count of the deposit of the eggs of in
testinal worms of sheep In some old
pastures these eggs are said to- be
spread by the millions. This is par
ticularly dangerous ground to be fed
over by young lambs. The man that
has more than one pasture will find
himself in an advantageous position
in case of trouble with intestinal
worms arising. He can then sir@ply
change his sheep run from one pas
ture to the other Such a change is
not necessary unless there are signs
of the presence of such worms among
the sheep.-Farmers' Review.

HINT ON THE SAFE SIDE.
Loser by Fire Thought Iced Drinks
Should Have Hand-Grenades
for Chasers.

Fire insurance contains many surprises
to the lay mind" said Marshall S briggs,
president of the board of underwriters, ac-
cording TO the New York Sun. "Oue man
who came to me for policy on some ice
houses which he had just acquired almost
refused to credit our statements in en-
planning the high rate. Ice houses are extra
hazardous risks because they are liable TO
spontaneous combustion. 1t happened in
this case that the applicant received a tele-
gram while We were still discussing the
matter. He was informed that his new
properties had burned to the ground. 1t

SECURING Runaway swarms.

When large apiaries Of Italian bees
are kept, it is essential that all blacks
and hybrids within a radius of a mile
be disposed of, if the swarms are to
be kept pure. 1t is often a nuisance to
hive stray swarms, but an apiarist
must do this in order to protect his
stock. A. l. Root, a large beekeeper
of Ohio, sends man on bicycle to
hive all stray swarms which are re-
ported to him. The man carries pair
of pruning shears, small smoker, bee
veil, gloves and burlap sack, in which
to place the bees. The sack can usually
be slipped around the bees and the
mouth of it tied before the limb is cut.
The bees are then carried off in the
sack and placed in hive.

POULTRY BREVITIES.

Never feed damaged grain.
Large, uniform eggs hold customers.
Green bone will not take the place Of
grit.
Kaffir corn is an excellent wheat SUBJ
stitute.
The honest poultryman is not afraid
to date the eggs he sends out.
A hens profitable laying seems to
be limited to the first two years Of her
life.
oyster shell should always be placed
before the fowls. 1t furnishes cOnsid-
cradle lime, invaluable for the manu-
facture of eggs. But oyster shell will
never do as substitute for grit; it is
too soft.
The laying hen is a more hearty
eater and a heavier drinker than the
one not laying, but it is seldom that
her food makes her overfat, as she has
a double use for it-she uses it for sus-
tanning the tissues of the body and for
manufacturing eggs.-American Poul-
try Journal.

Was a Splendid Investment

"The agricultural development OF the
states carved from the territory of the
Louisiana purchase are such that last
year, 100 years after the purchase, the
price, SIS ZOO 900, would have been met
with an assessment of only one per cent.
on the value of the years productions"
remarks the Kansas Farmer. "The pop
ulation of this region is about 15,oOO,OOO,
while a similar area taken from the
populous region of western Europe
contains about 2OO,OO0,OO0. The agri-
cultural and mineral possibilities of the
Louisiana purchase are reported to be
fully equal to those of the European
countries mentioned If this be so we
are not yet full"

REFUSED HIS OWN REMEDY
Noted Baltimore Surgeon Resists Use
Of Knife for Appendicitis
and Receivers.

A noted surgeon of Baltimore was re-
Gently attacked by appendicitis. This
surgeon performed last year 500 opera
tons and lost but two, but when he was
told that he had to be operated upon he
objected, although the operators were
also noted surgeons and intimate
friends.
Not on your life" said the patient.
Urging was of no avail, and finally
remedies unaccompanied by the knife
were used.
The surgeon was sick some weeks,
but he finally recovered, and only re-
Gently has been chronicled as having
performed an operation for the disease
with which he, too, was afflicted, and for
which he would not undergo siege at
fellow professionals hands.

sisted On having all the details. Why
not feed her woman hearth" he thought.
Il owe her that much anyhow" So he
discussed his love calmly and phiio-
sophically, as BELTS friendly discourse,
aud she discharged her responsibility
by explaining just how and where he had
misunderstood her They parted good
friends, with an agreement to write.
So they wrote. All through her last
year at college, he received a letter
every fortnight. 1t was plain, square,
and was covered with queer, indecisiVe
penCilings that in no way resembled the
clear, forcible thoughts that they stood
for. Nor were the thoughts familiar.
The Dora he had loved had always
seemed an airy, irresponsible creature,
with face prettily odd, and manners
childish and winsome. In the letters
he read woman with ideals immovable
as granite hills. principles fully
formed and nobler than his own.
and thoughts lofty and beauti-
full It was an entirely new Dora
to Benson, and he gradually grew
to like her. Meanwhile the dainty but
terfly of his senior year fiuttered and
faded. and became a memory.
When spring came again, she invited
him, formally and informally, to be pres
ent at her graduation. She really wished
his presence, and counted on it. But he
made a polite excuse, and did not go.
And the reason was simple and human.
He felt that if he went he would owe it
to his sense of gentlemanly propriety
to renew his suit, and he couldn't bring
himself to make love to the new Dora.
The dear, charming old Dora was dead.

Avoiding Dilution.

A Kentucky colonel, WHO in every other
way showed his enjoyment of his Bour-
glass to his lips. As this is the way chlI,
dren are usually advised to take I'M
savory medicine, his friends wondered
that the colonel should show such an
aversion to looking at the beverage that
all the rest of Kentucky likes to gaze on
only less than to taste. Some one asked
him at last why he always shut his eyes.
He replied 'Ah'm afraid if All looked
at it nah mouth would watah and dilute

When the Horses Are Tired.

People easily take cold when a cold
draft Of air is allowed to blow over
d sweaty surface, that is, surface that
is both warm and moist. The over
heated horse must receive attention as
soon as his hard exercise is at an end.
1t may seem hardship to blanket him
when he is already hot, but this will
be kindness and will prevent other
suffering, as it will permit him to cool
off gradually.
