Memories of Home.

Writing in the St. Louis Stnr OF
scenes and incidents at the Worlds
Fair, Kate Tyson Marr said: A touch
ing little scene was enacted yesterday
anent the love of the fatherland. I
wonder if people ever cease to enter
tain certain reverential love for the
place that gave them birth? The old
German speaks Of the Faderland with
sob in his voice and a hope that he
may be able to cross the sea again and
breathe the air Of the Rhine land be.

ways the green sod, and the shamrock
is sacred. The snow flower Of s,witznr-
land is pressed in the old family Bible
and treasured, and so it is. We may
wander far, never caring to 90 back
to the old home, but in our hearts
there lives memory sweet and sud as
the voices Of the dead.
Three old ladies wandered into the

advanced on the downward path of
life, and bore the trademark of toll.
1t was evidently a "day off," which
they determined to eniby to the full

nothing seemed to escape them, until
they entered the spot redolent of the
old country. In silence they wandered
around, every now and then asking
the question, "Do you remembcr?" At
last they reached a booth where it
seemed to me were little plants of
shamrock. The one in advance
stopped and kissed it reverently, the
other two following. 1t was sweet
tribute, and the old ladies seemed too

They wandered around with eyes half
filled with tears, and wished might

tile Democratic national committee,
came over from Illinois and began
work for Hearst.
Taggart turned in Il general alarm.
He went to all the leading Democrats
of the state and told them that Hearst
must not get the delegates. They
agreed. He lined up John Kern, Lamb,
Menzies, Shively and all the rest. They
all helped. Taggart directed the cam
paign. Hearst made great noise and
spent much money. Two days before
the indianapolis convention Taggart
sent Il message to the East, through
the World, that Parker would get the
delegation, that the unit rule would be
applied, and that there would be no
Hearst men OH the list.
He knew what he was talking about.
Indeed, his control of the convention
showed the thorough methods of the
man. Every detail had been thought
out. Every man had his part to play.
He selected Alonzo Greene Smith, not
ed throughout the state for his courage
and as skilled presiding officer, to
preside. He did not go into the ques-
tion Of platform at all. What he
wanted was to get Parker delega-
ton, and he got one.
He sat inconspicuously on the steps
of the stage during the convention.
How long will it last?' he was
asked, just as the opening prayer was
being said.
"Four hours" Taggart replied.
1t lasted four hours and ten minutes.
At the end Of that time Indiana had
instructed for Parker, applied the unit
rule and had indorsed Taggart for ma
tional chairman. This Indiana instruc-
ton for Parker came at that critical
time in May when the Parker man.
ayers had not made much public prog
ress. 1t was hailed in the East as
helping in great measure to establish
the Parker sentiment
Taggart went to st. Louis and was
at once put in the confidence of the
Eastern Parker leaders. He was ac-
tive. He helped materially in the final
work Of organization that brought
about Parker's nomination on the first
ballot. All that time he was making
no secret of ,his desire to manage Par
ker's campaign. His warmest partisan,
outside of the men from his own state,
was and is Senator Joseph w. Bailey
of Texas. Senator Bailey organized the
movement that brought about the eau
Gus nomination of Taggart by the COM
mittce. He is here now working for
Taggart and expects to be successful.
Personally Taggart is breezy, uncon-
ventional and welcomes everybody
with smile that has become celebrat-
ed in Indiana, and will be celebrated
throughout the country before the end
of the campaign if he is chosen.
His largest business enterprise now
is the French Lick Springs Hotel, Of
which he is president and manager. He
is worth some money. He is married
and has several children. His Oldest
daughter, Florence Taggart, was
drowned of New Orleans in 1899, when
the naphtha launch Paul Jones explod-
ed and sank.
Taggart is modest about his qualifi-
cations for the national craftsmanship.
He claims nothing e: eept that he

older Democrats told one another it
would be Il good lesson for him. Tag
CART went out in the country and can
vassed the city. He had made many
friends among the young men. He
called them all into his campaign.
He was elected. That $4,000 job
gave him his start. Two years later,
in 1888, after he had been made chair
man of the Democratic county commit
tee, he carried Marion county against
Benjamin Harrison, which was an
amazing thing, as Harrison lived in
Indianapolis, and Marion county had
gone Republican in every presidential
campaign since 1856.
He served until 1894, all the time
making friends in Indiana. He was
chosen chairman Of the Democratic
state committee in 1892 and served for
four years. He had been chairman of
the city committee and had helped
twice to elect Judge Sullivan as mayor.
The people in the state had come to
look on him as skillful as we'll as a
"lucky'' politician. He was ambitious
and he is yet. He concealed these am
bitions under no false pretenses. Aft
er he had finished his second term as
auditor he stepped out in the open and
said he would like the nomination for
mayor Of indianapolis. There was
some opposition, but he went to work
in the wards and was nominated. He
was elected in 1895 and reelected
twice after that, serving as mayor un-
til 1901. His first plurality was 1922.
Taggart had gone on the national dem
ocratic committee and had supported
Bryan in 1885, Indianapolis gave Nc
Kinley plurality Of 5000 over Bryan.
Taggart's first reelection as mayor
followed, his majority being over 1000.
He was elected a third time by about
the same plurality two years later.
In 1900 Taggart continued on the
Democratic national committee. Indi-
and was Bryan state. There are
still in the state many Democrats who
are as loyal to Bryan as they were in
1896 or 1900. So good an authority as
John w. Kern says that the proportion
is 80 or 80 per cent of the total Demo
cratic vote. Taggart was regular" in
both the Bryan campaigns. He did his
best to elect Bryan.
Then, after the second Bryan cam
paign, he refused to be bound any
longer by the theories of the twice de-
feated leader. He said the Democratic
party was not to be restricted by the
Kansas City platform, and he went to
the Washington meeting of the Demo
cratic national committee on January
IL last to help in the selection Of con-
servative candidate.
Taggart was early identified with
the Parker forces. Shortly after the
January meeting of the committee he
had a conference with William F.
Sheehan and the other Parker man
ayers in New York, and on his return
to Indiana went to work to get that
state for Parker. He had a stiff fight
on his hands, for William r. Hearst
had invaded the state and had secured

Wheat growers of long experience
are familiar with the plan of sowing
decoy strip of wheat early in the
season to entice the hessian fly. 1t Is
a good plan to do this, even If there
is no certainty that the enemy may
be waiting for you. A narrow strip
is sown entirely around the field in
tended for wheat, and this is turned
under at the time the main crop Is to
be sown. This turning the decoy strip
OF wheat under Is better plan than
blowing a number of dead burrows he
tween this strip and the main field.
The main crop should be sown as late
as it can be with safety, whether the
decoy strip is used or not, for the later
the sowing the less danger from the
hessian fly. Bear in mind also that
aside from the battle with the hessian
fly, success in wheat-growing comes
from the thorough preparation Of the
seed bed. The man who works on tho
plan that the seed bed for wheat can
not be made too good is the one who
gets the profitable crop. At least this
is the result on farms that have been
titled for number of years.

the heart of the old farmer who has
spent so many years working around
the thresher. To the average small boy
1t has nothing but delight. To the
housewife it brings remembrances of
hot times over the kitchen cook stove.
In the past few years all the work
has been lightened more or less. Self
feeders, self-measures and wind-stack-
ers have taken away a great deal of
the hard work, and now the gasoline
stove removes a great deal of the bur
densome heat In the kitchen.

Poultry Pickings.

Clean out the nests and whitewash
thoroughly.
1t is better to darken the place Sc
lected for the nests.
AS a rule, hens learn to eat eggs by
having them broken in the nest.
Stale bread soaked in milk makes a
good feed for newly Matched chickens.
Fowls will eat large amount of
clover, whether fed green or dried as
hay.
Fowls that fatten easily should have
plenty of exercise, unless being fed for
market.
Once chickens are stunted they new
err regain their vigor even with the
most careful feeding.
A mixture of two parts lard and one
part kerosene oil will remove the
scabby formation on the legs.
Charred corn on cobs is a good way
to feed charcoal to fowls. and moth
ing is better for bowel troubles.
Make the hens scratch for living
but put grain where scratching vii
get 1t, or the hens will not thrive.
On a farm good facilities, good man
agement and good markets are more
valuable than the breed of fowls.
If the most prolific hens are re
tanned and the worthless ones market
ed, great improvement would sool
| result.

Good feeding is the fOrerunner of
prosperity.
The farmers team should be one
well adapted to his requirements.
Liver is a good food for milk pro-
duction because it is rich in fats.
Even in summer sufficient bedding
should be provided to keep the stock
clean.
Desirable qualities are fixed In 3

The dwarfing of tree occurs by the
slight disagreement between the scion

Thrift in sheep is generally secured
