..sRlTe AND FAIR"

To-day was brite and fair.''-From thu
Real Diary of Real Boy.
"Britc and fair"-It tells the tale
OF the days of long ago.
Bringing boyish song and hail
In an echo faint and low:
Written In the careless scrawl
Summing thus the days that were
Summer. winter. spring or fall.
Every day was ''brite and fair
Who remembers any rain
That came when he was boy?
Who remembers any pain
Or forgets a shred Of joy?
In the picture of your youth
On which you so often gaze.
Is there any cloud, in truth?
"Brite and fair" were all the days.
Ho. the days that once were yours
Were the brightest days that dawned,
And the light of them endures
In your recollections fond!
How they rise, and how they call,
WEeresoever you may be
Till you hold them one and all
AS fine gold of memory!
Looking back and looking far
Through the laughter and the play,
Was there anything to mar
Any single boyhood day?
Twas the sunshine brought the shade
Never any cloud of care
And the heart within you made
Every day both ''brite and fair"

he is doing he has allowed himself to be
thoughtlessly very cruel to his horse.
We always feel like unreining such a
horse. Sometimes we really do so. It
may be taking liberties with other peo-
pies property, but the end justilles the
means.
A horse ought to be refined up when
hitched on the street. Otherwise, he is
liable to put his head down, trying to
reach things on the ground, and he may
get his foot over the reins or lines and
tangle himself up. to his injury. There

to keep him from putting his nose to
the ground. But he ought to be refined
loosely.
The overdraw is q good precaution
against runaways, and when properly
adjusted to the horses comfort It Is not
to be condemned. But q tight overdraw,
that compels the poor horse to hold his
head high and stick his nose out, Is bar
barous and the driver who can do such
things, after he has had his attention
called to It. ought to be obliged to wear
an overdraw himself, so he can get
through his thick skull the suffering Il
creates.

machine. In either case, says Robert
Lincoln O'Brien, in Atlantic, the lit

too manifest to need elaboration. The
standards Of spoken language, which
IN the days Of the past stood out in
marked contrast with the terseness
and precision Of written composition,

speech ever read well. have crossed

BILE with any lessening of the tax on
words which the labor of the writing
imposes, but it also brings forward the
point Of view Of the one who speaks.
There is the disposition on the part Of
the talker to explain as II watching

attitude is not lost when his audience

Relics of Gold Hunters.

While plOwing in his field near Eu-
faula recently Mr.. Charles Gibson un-
covered u large number Of weapons,
some of which were rifles of an old
style, some blunderbusses, a few old
time pistols and a couple of swords.
All these weapons are in fair state of
preservation and are apparently of
Spanish make.
According to Greek tradition, party
of adventurous Spaniards, numbering
fifty four. in the year 1864 left New
Orleans OH burros and went to the ter
ritory in search of gold. They secured
all the precious metal they could car
ry and on their way back they were
beset by a band of Shawnees near
Standing Rock, eight miles east of
Eufaula, and a great battle followed.
The Spaniards, with the exception OF
two who escaped on a raft, were ami
hilated.

plowed up on Mr.. Gibson's place are

will lind that rail fences have been
largely supplanted by wire ones. and
that the 'electric mule has taken the
place OF the long-eared quadruped
whose plaintive bray once rcsounded
along the Erie and Miami canals.
The New York legislature at it's
last session appointed joint leglsla-
tive commission to investigate the
subject OF electrical towage OF canal
boats. For week past some very
interesting and successful tests OF
the "electric mule have been made
on the Erie canal at Schenectady tor
the benefit of this legislative COM
mission. Significant of the larger
engineering interest attaching to
these tests was the presence OF re-
Drcsentatives of the Panama canal
commission. the director OF railways
and canals Of Germany. and many ell
gineers OF national and international
reputation.
The .electric mule" is simply de-
velopment OF the trolley principle,
differing from the trolley motor only
in the fact that the wheels grip the
under side of steel rails instead OF
running along their surface. The
trolley mule takes the current from
e trolley wire, through a tolley pole,
aud pulls the canal boat by means OF
a long towline. The demonstration
consisted of hauling three canal
boats carrying a total burden OF o1o
tons. Another test was with a total
of 80 tons and third test with 1890
tons. Other tests consisted OF over
taking and passing boats drawn oy
animals with the "electric mule"
AS the tests were highly successful,
there is little doubt that the electric
towing device is destined to work a
revolution Of canal transportation IN
this country and in Europe.
