The Annual Howl.

Now comes apaee the annual roar
It's hurtling thro' the air
From Galfornia's golden shore
To capes OF Delaware;
From North Dakota's station high
To Mississippi's vale,
From Maine TO Texas comes the cry
"The peach crops going TO fail"
We hear 1t each succeeding year
Each coming season brings
The woeful message, sad and drear
That flies on unseen wings,
Until goes up from all the land
That dull and dismal wall
"The tender buds are blighted and
The peach crops going to fail"
When Father Adam titled the ground
And sowed the virgin mold
Whilst every growing thing around
Gave yield a thousand-fold,
Did he, in springtime, always run
To Eve with visage pale,
And hoarsely below, Were undone.
The peach crops going 70 fail y

We always sympathize with the old who have moth

no place to go When become old and useless, we
want place of to go to; place that Is abso-
lutely our own and which we manage as we please
We hope it will be little place where can potter With
fruits and flowers and vegetables and chickens and
keep busy We don't want to give people opportunity to
show neglect idle time in which to see visions Of the
grim monster Old who oiGer about the streets It
always seems TO US make a mistake. -Atchison Globe

ter the national conventions meet In New Hampshire
platform has been made which in favor Of the present
tariff and against reciprocity the Iowa platform declares
for reciprocity and revision OF the tariff Many states
